Well this is a little like the last post. This was not really a head shot the idea was to show off the jewelery. For this shot I used a “Clam shell lighting technique”. I put a soft box over the top of the subject,very close. Then I put a large bounce card at the bottom and popped two small lights off of that. One light would work but I wanted to keep the recycle time down so I used two a there lowest setting. I needed to hit a f/16 to get everything in sharp focus so the power was set at much higher than it was set for the head shot. In addition to the soft box and the bounce card I hit the left and right of the face with a grid spot. This hard light coming from the back gave the face some shape and highlighted the earrings. You have to watch for the light and make sure you don't light up the nose. That can be nasty.
