You mentioned that this was a digital photo, what quantity of pixelation does this camera have? What type of light generated the warm glow on the shadow side, was it spotted (narrowly directed) in any way?
Thanks, Mike and Michele.

I borrowed the digital camera from the client because my husband asked me to leave mine at home so he could play with it. I used a standard Nikon 35 mm for the rest of the shots. This was just me running all over the house with the second daughter trying out lighting conditions, and finally settling in on the window of the stair landing. The digital was a Vaio, as I recall, and I used the highest resolution. There was no auxiliary lighting, no tungsten or florescence illuminating the room. Just the reflected light off the wall at the base of the landing. I do like the cool cool key light with the warm reflected light. We played around with some poses, and I have two rather dramatically different poses with the same lighting on the same stairwell. When I left (three weeks ago) the parents hadn't decided which to do. The Dad wanted this pose, the Mom, another more dramatic one.
