Keep up the great work with what you have for gear and slowly add to your collection of tools. Remember, carpenters don't just run out and buy every tool out there when they are just starting out. :-) Well thank you so much Kateryna !

So I set out to practice and learn on my own and that includes a lot of research and looking at work of other photographers! In my practice, being on a student budget, I am limited to only natural light and one flash that I can take up to 3 feet off camera (via TTL extension cord), once in a while I am able to borrow another flash from a friend. My point is my equipment is limited so I am very grateful that you are sharing your knowledge and experience. It is helping me and many others learn and brings a sigh of relief knowing that great results are possible even when we are limited. Thank you, Jason. :) Stay well. Hey Jason,

To answer your question, there isn't anything special about that exposure combination. That is just the exposure that made the photo look exposed correctly :-) Thank you for your comment Bruce !

So using soft light requires using a soft box placed about 2 feet away from the model. The larger the soft box the softer the light will be. You want to use a low f stop meaning a wide aperture not lower than f4. If you want it moody just use grids on your soft box or feather the light away from the model. There are many ways to approach this but start from what I told you and go from there. :-) Well if you are shooting women, you really should use soft light UNLESS the model has perfect skin and you want a more editorial look.
