Strobist: I used to softboxes for this. I set up the large beauty dish at f16 on camera left but found that the shadows on the right side of the face were too dense so I added a smaller softbox to fill in some of the shadows. I don't know what the f stop was after adding the second light, as I just judged it by eye. Not very scientific but it worked okay.

 

General: This was the first time I worked with a make-up artist. The make-up was brilliant and the in-camera results were far better quality than anything else I've had to date.
