Hey, Jetpix made some good points. In the second shot, I forgot to switch the back light from the left to the right side of the frame, leaving it a little flatter that it could have been otherwise. And after a good look I did notice that the front lights in the first shot should be moved further away from the face and then I could bring down the shutter speed until the lighting looks the same, to lessen the glow on her face, and I should have brought the back lights closer to her body and more to the side of her than behind since the hair is blocking what could have been a more defined jawline. I’ll keep this in mind for the next shoot, thanks! As for “flatness”, I was going for the all-around even lighting for women. It looks more flattering than a different key and fill light, I think. But, I did use a fill light that’s half the exposure of the key in the “bad girl” photos (the one on the right), which is more noticeable in my other photos, which I’ll post later.
