I have two 500W halogens on a stand. I bounce that light off the ceiling of my photo room.

Daytime - I try to use natural light from the window to backlight the model, and I have a second lamp directed behind her from the other side.

Night - I have 2 lamps, one on either side of the model (out of the way) to backlight her, and again the halogen light is bounced off the ceiling. Shadows are reduced, and the model's features come out looking much better too.

I tend to keep out at a distance and use the zoom to get in close, which reduces the fishbowl look that a lot of photos have.

That's about it I guess. Cheers.
