side and backlight, backlight with no cover - flagged to stop lens flare.

as above but also with floresent lighting under models face to create catch light in the eyes.

white balance is now set on day light.

with tungsten lighting the dimmer the light the warmer the tone.

below are some more pictures with different setup using tungsen, floresent and daylight lighting.

whilst taking part in the workshop i found out how changing the light sources or even the white balance on your camera can effect the image and mood (cold or warm), i also learnt about catch-lights in the eyes and how creating these with reflectors of the actually light source can make the model seem more "alive" and add to a portrait.
