some lighting set ups for portrait photography

The above link is to some ways of shooting portrait photography using lighting examples. One of the main things I found interesting in these examples is the numerous ways you can position a light and then direct the light back onto the subject by bouncing lights of things and using reflectors. Another thing I found very interesting was how you can use an ordinary household light and a sheet to create soft looking light. This is just one example of set ups I’ve been looking at of late and it’s been inspiring several ideas not just for film but also ideas for photography especially seeing as we have been looking at doing some portrait photography to raise money for the degree show.
