Natural Beauty - After

Shineylewis has added a photo to the pool:

Another one from me session with Shay, practicing the posing techniques that I learned from Sue Bryce during her CreativeLIVE workshop.

I really like the lighting on this one from using 2 umbrellas. To me, it resembles natural window light, which is all Sue uses. I went with the over/under (clamshell) set up after re-watching one of the videos Don took from our workshop using that same setup. Maybe I should try having one on the right and one on the left, instead of the clamshell next time...

Lighting Info:
AlienBee B800's in two Westcott 32" umbrellas - one over, one under (clamshell) bounced.
Soft white interior with black backing.
Umbrellas were approximately 4' from model.
Floor was white tile board from Home Depot, which is somewhat reflective.
On both sides of the model were 4' x 8' white V-flats made from styrofoam building material, also from Home Depot.
The background was white seamless paper.
