[QUOTE="hark, post: 780401, member: 13196"] I don't want to throw you for a loop, but Joel Grimes does what he calls [B]Rembrandt Cross Lighting[/B]. Instead of the light being approximately 45-degrees to the subject, it is at 90-degrees. So the light shoots perpendicularly across the frame. It is positioned in front of the subject - not next to them. You'd probably have to watch the video to understand. [B]I'm just thinking of an alternate lighting setup where your background can remain darker in camera[/B] by taking into consideration your current space. He also uses grids to help prevent too much spill. Flagging your shoot through umbrella like I mentioned previously would probably yield a similar result. And he DOES achieve the Rembrandt triangle this way! Down the road, maybe this will be another tool in your arsenal if it is anything you'd consider trying. Just throwing it out there. At least I'm not throwing you under the bus! :loyal: [MEDIA=youtube]4r0m3_DdRs0[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
