It was just one light.I had the light about 7 feet off the floor and she was in a high rise stool. Is there a way to make it not flat ?Will another light help with the flat look ? The background is just a cheap bed sheet. Darrell...Canon XT (for sell )..40d.5D..

I am learning to shoot in raw so I can adjust the exposure and such. I wll be getting another light soon for fill so hopefully that will help with the not wanted flat look.

) Is this with only 1 light? If so, it appears to be too straight on. Try moving it to the side and raising it and fill the shadows a bit with something reflective (sheet, shirt.) Also, it seems you've lost some of the blacks in her shirt and it kind of blends into the background. Moving the light may help this. Keep experimenting! That's the fun part.
