Wife was having headshots taken at her office today, so when she got home I made her take a few with me for practice. Used one Youngno 560 III flash with my Westcott rapid box and used another on the ground a few feet behind her at full power flashing on the off color wall we have in our house. I was trying to see how easy it would be to replicate a quick setup like this so that I could do it again in an office setting if need be (I've had people I work with asking me to take headshots for them). Touched it up just a little in lightroom and then took it to photoshop to use the healing brush and sharpen mask.
Any tips are appreciated. I also am posting one that is untouched that I used a blue gel on the flash behind her. Was impressed how easy it was to change the color of the background with it. I think I'd almost rather do this then have to lug around a backdrop.
I do know that the biggest thing to help would be a better lens than the one I have.
