Portrait Lighting

The picture below of Greg and Chrissy was made without any soft boxes or umbrellas to modify the light. My studio has white walls and runs on the narrow side at 12"x24". I bounced two Nikon SB600's straight behind the camera and one SB900 used as a master bounced off the wall to camera right with the BFT. BFT ( black foamy thing ) invented by Neil van Niekerk. The guy's a genius so you should look him up. Anyway I liked the images so much I decided to follow up on this approach to my studio work. I added another flash to separate the subject from background, took some test selfies to see how it works. Below is a lighting diagram and the original shot and same image just cropped tighter. The major advantage of this technique is minimal eye glass glare on my subjects and the fact the speedlights are suspended from the ceiling I have no cords to trip over when shooting children and pets.
