Man, nice use of flash! Any chance you'd like to share how you did this? I've always wanted to try shots like this...

OK, it's simple. Two flashes with softboxes, one - the right of the camera above models head 45 degrees down, and the second - at the level of the model head to the left of the camera with a capacity of one third of the first - to illuminate the shadows. I really hope my English is correct for understandable explanation

Thanks kmzer, that makes sense, well explained!

Very nice! I like horizontal the version with the sun more, since you can see the light reflecting off her body.

For being new to flash, you seem to have it down. Nicely done and well lit. Great job.

Many thanks! Learning some absolutely new in the fifty-two years is an absolutely exciting thing!
