  How many lights?

  Constant lights tend to suck a bit becuase they are too warm (colour temp) and they make the room hot. If you do use them ALWAYS make sure there is some kind of pop filter between the globe and the model.

  You could try using a key light to provide the look and a fill light to soften shadows. A hair light looks good but might be too hard with a constant light source. Also move you model forward so she doesnt cast a shadow on the wall and use a smaller DOF so the wall isnt in focus.

  If you dont have access to studio strobes you might find it easier to head out into natural light armed with an on camera fill flash...

  • Also shoot portraits with a longer focal length like 70mm - 200mm its more flattering and you get better bokeh.– slappy1/2

    Thanks for the comments I'll have to look all this up!– charlieclark2/2
