My sister ...

I picked up the camera last night and my sister was in it's way. She even let me attack her with hair extensions and makeup - which she does not wear, ever.

There was absolutely no light, other than my bedroom main and a lamp with the shade removed. A lot of the photos were blurry, but this one was one of the few that focused correctly. I corrected the colour balance and desaturated just slightly. 

Edit: I thought I would keep playing around in PS, just for something to do. Here is the same photo done over, in a different way.

Because photographers like to torment their models, I made her do stupid things. Well, she did them and I just photographed them.

Love it. What were you using for fill light? The reflections in Jamie's eyes look like off-camera strobes or something. Either way, this is a great portrait.

We had the main light on, and I was holding a side table lamp with no shade, held over my head with one hand. I have a photo where Jamie is mocking the way I look - I will have to show you.

My bedroom walls are quite light too which helped a lot. The camera was on the tri-pod, and as I looked through the camera I moved the lamp around until I found the point where she wasn't casting a shadow behind her and her face was illuminated.

It took a lot of shots, but we got there eventually. I'm considering mocking up my own DIY lamps to experiment.
