If you place the flash nearer to the wall it increases the distance and angle ratio from centre to edge of illumination giving you the desired effect. Cheers, Damien.

My question is if I want more of a circle behind the subject with darker coners, more like a vignette, do I reduce power on the backlight, reposition the backlight or a little of both.

I've had mine for 15 years and it's still working well. Hi Pete, When buying a triflector get the one that The Flash Centre sells. I’ve had mine for 15 years and it’s still working well.

I found you yesterday on Twitter, then found your blog. I am totally impressed by how you use colored gels to change to color of your background. It sure beats my awkward method of changing the 9 foot paper roll every time I wanted to change the background color! Thank you for sharing your lighting setup. Great Blog!

Your 3 questions are not easy to answer. You need a wide angle reflector on your lamp - at least 60 degree. Maybe you are asking about the Triflector in front of the model. I didn't use a 50mm lens, and my Studio is 7m x 6m. Take a look at <a href="http://www.prophotonut.com/2009/12/31/colourful-studio-portraits-techniques/" rel="nofollow">this post</a> for more info.

Of course it was promptly bookmarked. A great site with bags of useful information. The gels.......well I love them all. I can see a use for every colour. Just need to get myself a bowens fit wide reflector to take advantage of the gels and to buy the gels too!! Keep up the good work and I'll be visiting here more often now. Damien,

I havent seen more useful website for an ages. All the advise that you share with us is highly valuable and appreciated accordingly. I have one question though. I am just starting out in studio photography and i have built a studio in small living room. I have a grey background and i want to use gels to alter its color. Which reflector do you use for this purpose and what is the distance from background to light and from light to model, also how much space is left for you to take shots lets say with 50mm (waist level portrait) A great series and love your style a lot.
