    Sean, thanks! That was a lot of fun. It took way too long to work out, but I came up with something close. I positioned my head a little different so I could see just a bit more of my face (I have the most awkward looking profile ever, I'm an egg head). I see what you mean about the main light having to be just right. And just about every time I had to adjust it I was fighting with the reflector to get the back of my head illuminated again. I would have killed for another light for that part. I ended up having the flash super close to my head *just outside of the frame. Closer than I would have thought I needed. Learned a ton this time around.

    I couldn't figure out how to fix the awkward looking shadow cutting across my neck though.
