[QUOTE="Ranie, post: 17395, member: 2495"] Anthony, its easy to eliminate shadows and soften the light. Bring it closer to your subject. About 2 feet away. Also position it just slightly of center and bring them down a bit, not necessarily 45 degrees. That will eliminate all the shadows and soften the light. Remember, the closer your light source to your subject, the softer the light will be. With that set-up, you will only need 2 lights. Just the main light inside the softbox, and a hair light to detach your subject from the background. No more kicker light for the shadows. For the hair light, i usually just use a snoot or grid to control the spills. [/QUOTE]
