| Yeah, the lighting is too all over the place, too uniform. Try offsetting it to your right or left and see if you can get some shadows in there somewhere. I'm sure you will figure it out. |

| Well lit, but seems too flat. What kind of lights did you get, and how did you set them up? Perhaps it is the background that really flattens it out. Can you place a hanky over one of the lights to kind of diffuse it to give more depth to the image? It is a trick I learned with portraits. I also use mirror lighting a lot. The light gets aimed at the mirror which is in front of the subject, then the light bounces back at the person, but without a lot of harshness. Just some suggestions. I have several wonderful books on portraiture, including basic set ups. E mail me if you want a few ideas, then I can photograph the pages and send them to you. |
