The deliniation of her legs is caused by the little speedlight behind Linxi

Would you like to give your bodyscapes the edge? With some deliniation light? This video is a little add-on to my previous video regarding how to use a showercurtain as a softbox for photoshoots.

In this video I am just adding a little speedlight behind the model so that light is falling right through her legs, giving me some definition when photographing her private parts or her buttocks.

This video is just 2 minutes:

I also updated the lighting diagram and added the additional little flash and softbox.
