I thought it could be useful for someone to see the light set up I used in one of my last images, Dancer.

This is the light set-up:

60x60 cms. Softbox for the main lighting. One speedlight with snoot for her face and one speedlight with a diffuser from behind.

And a very successful lighting setup it was... the result is beautiful, dramatic light. Kudos.

Very helpful, thanks Alex. Quick question, what are you using the snooted flash to light? I'm guessing the shoe, since the rest of the dancer is lit with the softbox?

I lit her face with the snoot, because it was rather dark without it.

This is an outtake without snoot.

Alex can you or did you already grid the softbox to control the spill a bit?

Nope. But I just bought the stuff to create it. I know it's a big improvement in the control of light.

Does the manufacturer of your softbox not make a grid for it? My AB grids were so inexpensive I couldn't imagine trying to spend the time to make some.
