Thanks for the info, I'm looking for one now.

Between, I keep going back to your shot, I really like it. You've lit her perfectly. You should share it in the Using MULTIPLE strobes - creative examples - post yours!, you'll get comment from people who really know their stuff in Portrait Photography.

Thank you very much for that I will put it in that thread later. From briefly looking at the thread it looked like a lot of pro models so I wasn't sure it fit.

Damn adorable.

Thank you.

Mugg, it's not only about pro model, it's all about lights. You have a nice setup and you might help other people when you post it. You certainly did for me

Don't be shy, it does fit in this thread

I love the lighting and the shot!

This is such a random tip, but you might want to try hair pomade/paste . . . with my toddler I sometimes use Garnier Fructis Hair paste - comes in a green short jar. . .

Not shy just trying to follow the culture of the forum. I tend to lurk and then post sparingly as I figure out what is what etc. But thank you for the nudge in that direction

Looking forward to seeing the pictures that come from those gels. Lee Filter Master pack These are the gels I am using. You get 2 of each color and the a big enough to use in a stripbox or similar if necessary.

The light and the background both look great! She's too cute!
