Up to now, I’ve been using clamshell lighting with a shoot through umbrella and a shiny reflector for fill. I thought that by shooting through, the light would have been softer compared to light reflected off the umbrella. Thanks for sharing your approach to this setup – I’ll definitely try it out.
