Set your shutter speed to your fastest sync speed for your camera (1/200, or 1/250). Then stop down your aperature until all you see is black on your lcd screen.Keep the subject a reasonable distance from any background. Side lighting with flags (gobos) works well, as do snoots. If you want to light from the front. Use the least amount of light as you can get away with. And keep the subject well away from a background.Dimming the lights in the room helps. But is not always necessary.</blockquote>
