Not exactly an everyday outfit for me ;)

430ex II on the background (wall) @ 1/8th power, 580ex II @ 1/64th through cheap 15" x 16" softbox camera left, 40" x 60" silver reflector on stand camera right, NPT-04 triggers by Cowboy Studios (working well so far).

Other than my inability to smile for portraits, what bothers me most is the gray gradient on the background! Very small room, any way to get rid of the gradient other than post-processing?

No grey here either. White as snow background.

Looks like a little vignetting in the upper corners. It is only visible if I look at the computer from certain angles and shows up as decreasing bands. Easy to Photoshop out if it bothers you.
