Exercise - experimenting with light

4 - 6 standard head and shoulder portraits that are very different in lighting using the same subject for each photo.

This image of Sophie was taken using a reflector (silver side) and flash gun pointing straight up to the ceiling in a small room with a plain wall in the background. It looks a little washed out but I think it suits the picture as it contrasts with the blue of her dress and eyes. Using the flash gun and reflector has helped eliminate shadows under the chin.

This photo was taken in the same room as the one above but without a flash gun, which gives it the warmer tone.  The lighting was a tungsten overhead light and a reflector was used to help with the under neck shadows but there is still shadow from the hair across the right eye. 

This photo was taken using the natural light coming in from a window, the light is quite soft so the shadows are quite subtle, the shadow side of the face is clear to see so the amount of shadow is ok for this image I think
