It gives me a lot of better understanding about lighting and fashion photography. I have one question though, what's a V Flat? English is not my first language so I'm unfamiliar to some names.

I consider myself a beginner in lighting craft and your tips are very insightful! I was experimenting with studio strobes and small flashes in outdoors setups and I find everything you say about flagging is a total true. Thanks again! Thank you for a great post.

Had the background lights wrap the model once (as an accident) model was standing to close to the flagged background) and I liked it indeed,maybe do this more often , but now I'm first going to focus on letting some lights go and embrace darkness... :) Indeed I plead guilty I do “overlight” my pics, and like you said

I use that technique often myself. I fire a couple strobes at about 45 deg into a white or studio gray backdrop, and use that as the only lighting. I love the soft glow and very gentle transitions you get from that. Almost like having a 9x9 soft box. BTW, great blog, I'm subscribing!
