I am sure I will have tons of questions in future. I guess this site is associated with a portrait software product, looks interesting.
I am looking for a place where I can get feedback on portraits. I am just getting started and need to get up to snuff when it comes to learning about lighting. I have several very useful books but there is nothing like actual practice. I do have a young lady that is willing to do "do overs" so if I can get a nice pose but do not have the lighting nailed, I can try again, which I think will be valuable.
One question for now -
Can a small LED light come in handy for accent lighting? I have been tempted to get a Flolight product so I have a light soucre for the video cabability of my DSLR. I am thinking this could also come in handy as a accent light where it would be hard to place a regular studio light. For example, I saw a photo of a model lying down and her hair was backlit (thinking the light had to be very near the floor).
Thanks - Gary
