Having fun with the ladies. They were such fun to work with but on 4 of 5 of her I broke my rule on broad lighting. She had such a cute face I think it worked anyhow.

    Really nice work. Broad lighting is kind to her because of the wonderful shape of her face. You would not have been as happy had you tried it with the blonde girl.

    I'm not too wild about the white balance in the "ring light" shot though. (Nor the ring light, but that's a whole 'nother kerfuffle)

    Love 6,7 & 8 Hack. Also like the vignette in 4.

    I also like ringlights almost all the time so no reason for me to question these.

    She has a radiant smile I must say. Six and nine are my favorites. I'm not quite understanding the rule you broke on the broad lighting, do you mean because you have more of her face illuminated than normal?

    Yes, on women with a full face a broad light makes it fuller.

    Breaking rules is just not done..... (just joking)

    Broad , narrow, rembrandt, cross , clamp ..... lighting are just basic principles from which anybody can start building .

    This is a nice series with nice lighting .

    However I do still consider that 4 & 5 are a frontal light method, so how do you then break the rule of broad lighting ? As it is not applied...

    4 was just a set up shot so I wan't worried about that one. The light on 5 was to the left of camera. There is a shadow showing it must be due to feathering the light severely but the light was to left of camera.
