*A very simple setup:* A DIY diffusion panel was placed behind the subject to act as a simple backdrop. A *Vivitar 283* was shot through the diffusion panel at about 1/2 power to brighten the backdrop and act as a rim light, and a *Promaster 7000m* was fired at full power into a DIY reflective umbrella to camera right at 45 degrees to subject. A cheap *Pentax* flash unit was used to camera left at 1/8 power (with a white sock for diffusion) to act as a fill/cross-light. "allenmowery.com":http://allenmowery.com
