Headshot (bustshot...?) tests against my living room wall with a softbox. Tips for making the background darker in a tight-ish space would be appreciated (along with any other suggestions!). :-)

I'd think more space from the wall and bringing the softbox in as close as possible would be your best bet to keep the same style of lighting. Feathering the light out as much as possible or flagging it helps, but changes the entire look. You can see how cluttered the bear shot was here - https://photography-on-the.net …showthread.php?​p=17813253. I had to shoot from the hallway.

Ah I see, I think your light source is much more above/looking down on subject than mine is, too. Will try later with a wide angle at the edge of the room to try and cut off light. Thanks!

To get a darker background.
You need grids or someway to control the light. Your main light should only hit your subject. If you don't have grids try using a flag to block off the light hitting the background.

Thank you Mike! She's been my muse since I first got bitten by the photography bug, she's really grown up with me in front of my camera. :)

Beautiful images. Did you have the garage door partly closed to create the rectangular catchlights?

These are pictures exactly my taste (light, colours, sharpness, ...)! Would love to take such photos in the future, with my new camera :-) You are very talented, keep at it :love:

I block off the bottom 1/3 or so of it with a large piece of black fleece to avoid uplighting from the driveway.
