Proper Studio Lighting

In the following 3 pictures I experimented with studio lighting with one of my friends Tim Elliot. I used 1:2 lighting as well as 2:2 lighting, and finally I used one studio light, with the reflector to try to get the shadow out of the picture. Studio lighting is something I wasn't very comfortable with at first because I had never really used it. It took a few tries for me to get the lighting how I wanted it, but by the end I was able to come up with a few that I like. I found it very cool how much different light can change your picture. For example the less light you use the darker your photo will be, which can give your piece a whole different type of view. And the same goes for using a lot of light. With a lot of lighting the picture will come out more bright and give more of an up beat look to the photograph.
