Not done much lately, so took the opportunity today, when we was looking after this little chap.
Quick set up, one light with minisoft reflector.

Hope you like.

Awww! I like both photos a lot! Great job! Might have been exposed a little bit more IMO.

Such cutie... Nice 1 like setup and I agree could be exposed just a tad higher. Not much but just a little. TFS

Many thanks all,

These were thrown together so quickly, so nothing special, but the great thing is, when he sees the flash, he now stops and poses. What a great model lol.

Very good as usual.

I am interested in your setup. Could you give specifics? Light placement and settings, reflector placement, exif? Thanks.

This was a one light set-up using an Elinchrom BX400 and white Mini-soft dish (small beauty dish) with the silver deflector, at an approximate distance of 5 -6ft from the subject.

Shutter 1/125 Aperture f8 focal length 75mm using the Tamron 28 - 75mm on a Canon 5D set at 100 iso, taken in Raw. Ambient light did not have any effect with this set-up.
Whi-Bal used for white balance. Sekonic flash meter used for exposure.

Light placement approx 10 -15º to the left, and a few inches above the subjects head. The light was pointed straight ahead, this dish gives a very wide coverage angle.

Slight enhancements and cropping in photoshop.

Hope this helps.
