First Client Studio Shots

This was part of a Halloween "mini" special I set up in my living room for the neighborhood moms. This is also my first 3 point light setup, so feedback is appreciated.

On light: since the background is already blurred out and made insignificant [just bring the colors in and whatnot], there is no really a reason to light it as bright as the subject. With bringing the background down, you'll gain much more eye contact with the kid - she'll stand out much more.

I like the lighting set up. And, I like the amount of blur and the composition of the background. That one light back there though... no.
Not sure if underexposed, monitor, or post processing issue, but her whites, especially the sleeves, look muted and gray.
I also like that you gave yourself room around the subject for cropping and printing in different sizes.

Thank you, I'll try to do that

Nice shot. I'd add a slight vignette to bring more focus to the girl and possibly try to brighten her eyes a bit in PP.

I don't agree with that often, but slight vignette /slighty-slight/ might be the fastest and easiest way here :]

Nice, but I'd be inclined to clone out the lower catchlight.

Hope you don't mind. quick edits to do the mentioned items.

very nice, but lighting is too low, particularly what looks like the fill light.. one catchlight is way low for camera right reflector or flash that was over there. a bit above their heads will have much better lighting. But this is very nice and much better than a cell phone pic!
