I've taken on a student. She's very motivated to learn about portrait/wedding photography and often is my second shooter at weddings.Today, I took her and a model to a high-end hotel for location lighting lessons.

I have to say I'm quite proud of her work today. Below is natural light with a kicker (one of my Vivitar 285HV flashes).

Very nice image and a great job by both of you! (as the teacher you should be proud when a student overachieves...:P)

beautiful work. Did your student do the positioning and settings and all that good stuff?

You didn't tell me you were taking on students!

Great work.

Sorry if this is a dumb question - what constitutes a "kicker" and where was it positioned?

Thanks, Leroy

Yeah, I'm teaching her how to use the light meter for both ambient light and how to position lights.

A kicker adds a bit of light on the shadowed side of an image to retain shape, although this one could also be considered a hair light. The light is positioned above the model to the right of the frame, behind her.
