Now for a very low tech lighting setup

All images taken using the similar high key method described below, this time using a kitchen shelf as the background, piece of curved white card under subject (Blu-Tacked to cup handle) and my Speed light 420 bouncing the flash from the ceiling.

Now for a low key shot

This time with a single medium softbox positioned to the left of the model.

And another one.

This one has more contrast, I like it better. Same technique as below this time @ 1/60th second.
