The main light was 1.2m infront of Nikki at 2.2m high. The camera,a Canon 400D with 70-300mmmzoom lens, was positioned 2.5m from Nikki. I choose this distance as I had a range of shots from here without moving the camera on the studio stand.I also had the camera tethered to my laptop so that Nikki could see what we were taking. I do not have live view on my 400D unfortunately, which would be useful.
I took a light reading with my Sekonic L-358 lightmeter of f18 at ISO100. I found that I had to use f8 to get the correct exposure, and I have found this when using my new Tamron 70-300mm zoom lens, that I have to change the exposure to get the correct image.
