That's some pretty cool lighting, reminds me of the night before Christmas for some reason, like she is holding a candle. How did you get the built in flash to bounce off the floor?

Inquired minds want to know.

Maybe used a 3rd party bouncer and flipped the camera upside down?

Sorry guys for not responding sooner on the requests.. I'll take a picture of my ghetto setup later on LOL.. Imagine a rectangle of tin foil in front of the flash, maybe 4 or 5 inches wide and 7 or 8 inches long, now bend the tin foil around the flash and push it through the hole in the middle of the flash housing (above the hinges, below the flash), so it stays there.. then turn the camera portrait, then curve that rectangular peice of foil so that the flash bounces off the floor instead of to the right, there you go...

I'll make a youtube video later and post it...

This type of lighting has a name. Ghoul lighting. It is used in horror films, the old Boris Karloff, and Lon Chaney films used it alot because natural light comes from above. This lighting casts shadows under the eyes.
