This shot was made following the creation of the couple shot shown on page 64. To set up the shot, the mom was moved into a seated pose, fabrics were added, and the softbox was lowered to center the mother in the light. This image was made with a Nikon D2x, Tamron 28–70mm lens, at f/5.6 and 1/125 at an ISO of 100.

Another way to create light that mimics window light is to place the main light at a 45 degree angle to the camera, then add a small amount of fill light with either a reflector or strobe—or ambient light. This will give a lower ratio and less dramatic lighting, resulting in a softer, fuller look. This can be an especially good choice when photographing a family group.

To simulate window light, your light source will have to be up to four times wider than your subject (e.g., one that is at least 4 feet in width, but ideally, 5–6 feet wide). Position the light to the side of the subject with a reflector or black panel on the opposite side. The camera angle will be from the front of the subject, placing it at 90 degrees from the light and subject. This lighting setup will give you the most dramatic lighting, with high lighting ratios, creating form and depth.
