What I am looking for is how do I set up to get the shot of soft light on one side of the body and darkness on

Question

I have 2 soft boxes, an umbrella light, spot lights, up lighting, and an overhead "hair" light.



What settings on my camera (D80) do I use?

Answer 1

Put the soft box in the 3 o'clock position and meter for that side.

Answer 2

Studio lighting cannot versus Bounce flash with Lightsphere which given no shadow and have best quality images,studio lighting giving too strong shadow. You could use using Manual Mode setting shutter speed at 1/30 seconds,aperutre at f/11.
