Good morning Dgrinners! Haven't been around in awhile....hope you are all doing well!
So... a question for you studio folks... I recently had to make a move to a new home which only has 8 foot ceilings. My storefront had 10 ft, then I had to move to a 9 Foot, now 8... ugh should be going up! I mostly shoot newbors, babies, children, some maternity and families (which I hate doing in studio) and a few headshots now and then.
I currently have a 4 light set up.
4x6 softbox for the main
a shoot through umbrella for fill
a background bee with grid
and a hairlight with a grid.
Does anybody use all these lights with a low ceiling?
Will the 4x6 still work or will I have to go back to my 3x4?
Any suggestions for dealing with 8 feet would be much appreciated.
Here is a photo I recently did in a 9 ft space... I was humbled that it was accepted into the PPA Loan collection :-)

I went back to the 3x4 mostly because everyone else was using the 4x6. I really don't see that much of a difference. I know some do but visually I don't see it in general. Maybe a specific instance but not for the majority or traditional work.
Big Congrats on the Loan Print!!!!!!!
