Hi Tom. Light becomes harsher the further you move the lights away from the model, as the light source size diminishes. I would try getting softboxes as close as possible to model. I’ve had models literally only a foot away from a 6ft softbox before. Not knowing your light models, with my 400W I usually have them on lowest settings, but close to model. Might be worth trying lower light at 2/3 power of light above to see if that makes a difference. Good luck & let me know how you get on

Dave,

I have tried the clam shell technique and my lighting seems to be to harsh. I have the top box 400w set at 8 and the lower 400wt. set at 4. My camera settings are f8 at 125th. based on my light meter. Subject is 3 ft. from lower box and 4.5 ft. from the upper box. When I change y camera fstop to 11 is seems to take away the harshness but am I not then underexposing the picture?

Any ideas. I am trying to find the softest soothing light for glamour portrait shots.

Thanks for your help.

Tom

This is an amazing portrait! I love the lighting… and that is my question.. how did you light did? It looks like you used some kind of strobe to me, and I was wondering where you placed the lights? Again, great shot!
