[chris72]

My friends I'm happy because I have studio lights thank's to my friend Tom. So I shoot some tests with my lights. This are not artistic photos are only lights study. Please tell me you opinion about the lights setus. I make no ajustments, no processing. I use 4 heads. The nude is a plastique woman, NO natural woman.
Thank you

Good start Chris,

What lights did you end up getting?

Try this set up, use 2 lights only on one model.
Sit your model as far from your background as you can.
Place 1 light to the 1 metre to the right of the camera and just slightly higher no more than 20 centimetres, set it for f5.6 or so. This is your key light.

Next place one light behind your model put it as far back and as high up as you can get it. Aim it at the back quarter of your models head, set it at f4.0. This is your hair light.
