They are coming in an hour

My sister and law and nephew are coming in an hour for a photoshoot. This is what the lighting arrangements looks like. We wil do some more outside. Anything I need to change? Oh--other than combing his hair???

Brighten the key light and move the hair light bakc. The top of his head is too hot. The lighting also looks a bit flat. You do not want to eliminate all the shadows or you get flat lighting.

Good luck!

bump.

Any way to get something other than black on the background?

Just MHO.

Have fun!

I do. I actually like black, but planned to do several with different colors in the background. Thanks.

I do, but the one time I tried it, it didn't work right. I might try that again sometime. Thanks for reminding me.
