One light...
Sometimes I get asked how I get certain images, so Today I tried to tackle something I have been reading about and answer a few questions as I went. (Keep in mind I am not an expert)
Now this was a little harder than what I thought cuz I dont want it to look like there is this big spot light on him or tons of shadows. But bad lighting or good, I like these because of my adorable subject.

On this one (below)I used the one main light a little to the right of me, and I bounced back I smiggin' of light on the other side with my handy dandy reflector. These are the technical terms people!!
When I am working with my lights, I have to keep my shutter speed at 1/200 this eliminates 'shutter drag' (another Ashley Term), where the shutter speed is so fast you can see the shutter planes in your image. And I like to have my aperture open as wide as it can go so usually turn my lights way down to the lowest setting.

This is more of what I was going for with the shadows on the side of his face.
These ones I combined some strobe light with some natural light coming in through the window.
And a little strange but I LOVE this one of him grabbing his bear.
How can this not make you happy?
It may not be the 'right' way to do it but it works for me. Did I answer any questions, or just confuse? Let me know.
