1 of these is 2 lights. The rest are 1. Reflector and V flat used in all.

Nikon Z8 and 50mm f/1.8

I really need some models (and a shave) lol but I have to practice and learn however I can get it.

1 light;

























2 lights;

Nice job on these Rich. I like #3&4 best. Something about the placement of the catchlights that I've been trying to be mindful of in my own stuff in trying to ensure the pupils don't get washed out. Are you using a v-flat from vflat world or one you made?

Thank you !!! I’ve had that wash out you’re speaking of recently. Didn’t realize until afterwards.

V flat world

I suck at anything portrait Rich so my hat is off to you!
I think these look fine. I do see a "ring light" in the eyeballs but not concerning.

The light seems to be falling on you fine.

Ahh yes in a couple of them. Something to address for the next try. I’m learning.

Rich I mentioned the "light" only because I have learned that some photographers like the eyeball showing a light. Or maybe it is not "liking" seeing it versus accepting it.

Above my pay grade brother!
You did yourself proud!
