I scalloped the Parabolic reflector away from the background, to minimize the amount of light falling on the background.<\/p>\n<p>I used the other Profoto D1 head as a background light to give that slight gradient there to the background. This light wasn&#8217;t diffused, but had a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/neilvn.com\/tangents\/recommends\/profoto-7-grid-reflector\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Profoto 7&#8243; Grid Reflector<\/a>\u00a0(<em>affiliate<\/em>) with a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/neilvn.com\/tangents\/recommends\/profoto-honeycomb-grid-10-degrees\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Profoto 10-degree Honeycomb Grid<\/a>\u00a0(<em>affiliate<\/em>)\u00a0to control the light from this flash-head.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, I used my Profoto 600R kit as a third light, which acted as the rim-light on her. This too had a 10 degree grid on it to minimize spill light.<\/p>\n<p>And there you have it. A straight-forward setup that gives interesting, slightly moody light on Carly Erin.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Related articles<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/neilvn.com\/tangents\/category\/models\/carly-erin\/\">Other photo sessions with Carly Erin<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/neilvn.com\/tangents\/review-westcott-7-parabolic-umbrella\/\">review: Westcott 7&#8242; Parabolic Umbrella<\/a>\u00a0 (model: Ulorin Vex)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/neilvn.com\/tangents\/lingerie-model-photo-session-studio\/\">Lingerie photo session in the studio<\/a>\u00a0 (model: Olena)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/neilvn.com\/tangents\/lingerie-photo-session-studio-lighting-textures\/\">Lingerie photo session \u2013 light, lighting &amp; textures<\/a>\u00a0 (model: Melanie S.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Studio lighting workshops<\/h2>\n<p>If you are interested in learning more about studio lighting, including lighting for headshots, I offer\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/neilvn.com\/tangents\/studio-photography-workshops\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">workshops on studio lighting<\/a>.
