This is a good tutorial, however I would have liked to watch how you had setup those lights. I mean the types of lights you had used, their positions and diffusers, cutters etc in detail. Yeah I could see the setup in the background but I wish I could get a closer view.

Very well done, straight and to the point, all 3 points to be exact! Always trying to explain to customer's the basic's of 3 Point lighting. Your tutorial makes it extremely easy to understand! Great job!

I loved that halo affect. It looks really pro but actually easy and cheaper to pull off compared to many other pro looking backgrounds.
