I never would have thought of that. Good call! I could put another lamp in the room I guess. Just like aimed at the ceiling so it only raises ambient without actually effecting the exposure on her?

I'm not too fond of the reflector I used actually. I think it was intended to be molded into a snoot. (came in the intructionless DIY kit from Rosco.) So I will be using a white poster board from now on with some tilt as you suggested to get the nice, even lighting.
