Hi Robert,

Thanks for the comment and good eye! I mentioned in the podcast that there was some window light in the room that was less intense than the flash so that is what you are likely seeing as no other artificial light sources were used. Perhaps I should have explained that in more detail in the podcast, my apologies for any confusion. If more people are confused I’ll reclarify this in the next podcast.
Many thx!

I’m curious.
What’s the source of the rim light on her right shoulder and right hip (Left of shot)?

On the direct flash it’s still showing as a source so it appears there was some other light going on.
Also on the direct flash shot (top left) there’s a fairly serious left/right nose split of the light, and much less on the tip. This would also suggest light from both sides, rather than direct.

I’m pretty sure you’ve got the images wrong for that one at least. I can see the hard shadow, but I’m not convinced it’s the only source of light.
