    Hi Eli, I have a quick question. I just tried this setup with my friend, using a clamshell reflector, ad400pro and an 85cm Softbox, c stand with boom arm as opposed to the shorty extension arm. But, I couldn't seem to get much light on the top of his head until I used an ad200pro and bounced the light from the ceiling straight down. Is there anything I can to make it so I don't need a second light in order to light up the hair on the top of the head?

    • @FergsuKBushCraft
      @FergsuKBushCraft Рік тому +1

      Get the light higher and if that doesn't give you enough, slightly tilt the light more towards the model/backdrop instead of toward the floor and reflector. Finding the right balance between the two will depend on the space you have available and the power of the light.

  • @mcmc-o9w

    If it’s whole body shoot does the reflector still come into play? Our just key light and behind the subject light for the background?

    • @EliInfante
      @EliInfante  Рік тому

      If it’s a full body I use a reflector on the floor. ☺️

  • @najaehouston2003

    If we don’t have a second speed light to light the backdrop could we use a regular light?

    • @EliInfante
      @EliInfante  Рік тому

      You could but you would need to lower your shutter speed to measure the ambient.
