[QUOTE="Moab Man, post: 518969, member: 11881"] Angle your victim to the camera so she is not square to it. Use your second flash behind her to give some hair light or rim light. I see the right shoulder (her left) is lit up. It looks as thought you have a light on the left (her right). When someone has hair that comes over the front creating a kind of ledge you want to shoot across from the opposite side to get the light up under the ledge so it's not causing a shadow. If you're wanting the light from that side then use a white reflector, can be anything, up close to bounce light up under the ledge to minimize the shadow. I know you said you have limited software. I'm assuming you have a Nikon, and it came with the disc of basic software. Take a look and see if there is a Clarity slider. If you bring down the clarity it softens the midtones of the picture, specifically it really helps with taking down the sharpness in skin. [/QUOTE]
