I actually use some pretty cheap studio lights. They're by Studio Systems -- SP3200's, 2 monolights, umbrellas, stands, etc. I think I got the whole set up for less than $450 -- A little more than a single hot-shoe flash. I'm actually thinking about getting another set to do some more elaborate lighting. For as inexpensive as they are, I'm pretty impressed with them.

I shoot lots of photos of great grandchildren. I have found the included all of the body produces the best images. Since I am retired, I can NOT afford special lighting are backdrops, so.... I resort to shallow DOF. lol

Thanks, Laura... I was trying to keep within the rule-of-thirdshere. Below his shins, there didn't seem to be anything "interesting" to me so, I left it off. I liked the pose, but just a plain blue background seems kind of boring -- I'm experimenting with some vignetting techniques both in photoshoot, and using the lighting I have.
Thanks for taking the time! Much appreciated!

That is a handsome young man. I like the pose, however the crop seems awkward to me. I would suggest cropping further, or.... including the entire figure.
