For those who do not know, Peter Hurley is a phenomenal head shot photographer. Here he is given, what I think is, the greatest tip I've ever heard for shooting a great head-shot.  Now that I have seen this, I have no excuse for taking head-shots or doing portraits that make the subject look corpulent. 

Well I'm suppose to do a couple photo shoots in the upcoming weeks. So I wanted to play with my light kit and think out my lighting scenarios. Since I didn't have a subject, I just took my own picture. These were shot with a Canon t2i and a 24 to 105mm L lens (45mm) at F9.0 (ISO100).  I used 2 Alien Bees B800's at 1/4 power with soft-boxes to defuse the light.
