Natural light portraits complimented in the studio

I enjoy offering my clients a variety of options when it comes to the lighting used for their head-shots as well as their wardrobe and looks. Here is an example of two different light set-ups. At the top, the ever complimenting natural light is soft and very revealing in the eyes and skin tone. I added a regular house lamp behind the model to give her a more dramatic effect. The middle shot is achieved solely with window light. And below you can see the studio set-up, a large diffused soft-box at 45 degrees gives a more formal look and extra large highlights in her eyes.
