  Rakesh, I finally worked out your lighting, well on this one anyway. I have learned to expect these high quality portraits, as soon as I get the courage I am going to attemp a portrait. But you have to promise not to laugh

  I love the way you place your models hands. And I can certainly learn a lot from your use of lighting. Your portraits are beautiful.

  Rakesh,

I used a similiar light on my Samantha portrait. In order to make it work (no blown out lights) I had to move in very close on her face. I really like how you filtered it here with the tracing paper and it allows you to get farther away and include more of your model. It adds a nice softness and a very natural feeling to your photo. Truly lovely.

Best,
Rachel
