Thanks for your comment Shelly. I really enjoyed shooting Collin. I got to shoot her a couple of times. This shot uses a combination of hard light: the Norman 200B. The soft light the broad light, which is a Norman LH2000 pointed into an umbrella and then the light goes through a light panel. So you get a light source that is about 4X6 feet. You can see the way the two light sources interact in the shadow under her chin. Also you can see a very soft catch light and a hard catch light from the two sources in the eye. I really like working with hard and soft light in the same shot.
Thanks, John
