Portrait setup examples

Today I want to share thees portrait lighting diagrams with you folks ! I think they will come in handy for someone. I made those from a book that is called “The book of light”, I didn’t found any diagrams in this book that’s why I made them from the description under every photo. Have fun !

    Hi,
    This is great stuff. Thanks for posting. I am just curios. On the “Portrait example 2″ the main light indicates f1/2 do you mean this light is at half power?
