[QUOTE="Steve B, post: 247270, member: 15754"] There are a lot of books out there on portrait photography. A good one that shows a lot of lighting set ups and the results is "Pro Digital Portrait Lighting the Definitive Reference to Lighting Setups" by Peter Hince, published by Pixiq. [url=http://www.amazon.com/Pro-Digital-Portrait-Lighting-Definitive/dp/160059784X/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1389719585&sr=1-1&keywords=pro+digital+portrait+lighting]Pro Digital Portrait Lighting: The Definitive Reference to Lighting Setups: Peter Hince: 9781600597848: Amazon.com: Books[/url] It shows results for the different setups with different skin colors and light and dark backgrounds. The one other thing that I use for portrait shooting that you don't list is a light meter. I meter incident light from the subject position. It's more accurate and it takes a lot of the guess work out of setting your lights up especially if you use your Alien Bees. [/QUOTE]
