With some help from Betsy, my model, who lives at the local thrift store where I volunteer, here is my answer to this weeks Dogwood Challenge. "Technical: Portrait Lighting-Whether Butterfly, Rembrandt, Split, or Loop Lighting, choose the technique which best flatters your subject."
I feel that Butterfly best suits Betsy. This was the lighting most favored by Hollywood actresses in 1940's and 50's and many had it written into their contracts.
@ziggy77 Thank you so much.
@thistle Betsy was most helpful in this now she goes home.
@eudora Thank you. She did have an issue with standing up without tipping so she 'chose' to lean against a plant stand.
