KINDA DUMB QUESTION

[rdking01]

i am shooting a maternity shoot for a friend. i have found a studio i can rent for the shots. my question is she wants a silhoutte type image, if there was a large window that she would not mind standing in front of i would have no problem, but alas she will be nude (no window) i need an idea of how to set my strobes (novatrons)..... i thought about just using a kicker between her and the hi-key wall but it was brighter lower and light fell off as you went up the frame (no good) if you have a good idea i am all ears, and remember a picture is worth a thoiusand words (actually that would be all eye's, but you get the picture)

thanks,
dean

get a white background...

blow at least two lights on the background...put your focus on her and meter for the background...and there you have it!

so no lights on the model? only for a silhouette right?
