I thought this would be an awesome and challenging thread to display only ambient and reflector portraits. I'd love to see some on the creative ways to light in this way.

Not much to do with small flashes and studio lighting. ;)

It is a rather strange thread to start here, but I'll put up a couple anyway:

A great start... I think this is a fine place for this thread. Your using reflectors, stands and studio lighting techniques. Instead of using flash guns the sun is your source of light, only reflected. I just wanted to see how creative people were getting with this type of lighting. You can change colors and modify it also. I guess its hard to break away from the paradigms we see as the norm.. Should be a very interesting thread ;)

But it has to do with lighting creatively which is what many who visit this section are interested in.

It doesn't matter, a mod can move the thread. This constant complaining is why a lot of people are fed up with even just lurking, nevermind posting.
