[QUOTE="RocketCowboy, post: 440135, member: 25095"] Definitely appreciate the feedback, so please don't take my questions as anything counter to that. I think the reason I left the hair light that hot was to provide some separation between my black backdrop and her dark clothing. When I turned the lighting down more (and the other problem was not having a short enough light stand), her clothing started to get lost in the background. The right thing would have been to shoot against a different colored backdrop, but black is all I have right now. In that scenario, would there be another way to still provide some isolation while not over-doing the hair light? If I had moved the hair light more to something like 90 degrees to the side of the subject? [/QUOTE]
