yeah, so i wanted to do that fashion-y shot where there's all these horizontal lines (usually from miniblinds) being projected onto the model. we don't have the little mini-blinds in our place though, we got the big ones. so that's what i used.
i set up a gridded flash outside the window, about 5 feet away from the glass at 1/2 power. then i set up a white reflector just behind my left shoulder to catch any light that makes it by me and bounce it back up for some weak fill. fired a few shots, and this is the one i liked.
one thing that helped me compose the shadow stripes was to make sure that i can see the flash head outside through the blinds.... that way i know my eyes will be illuminated, and i won't end up with a big black stripe blindfold lookin thing in the picture.
i think if i do this one again i'll have another source of illumination inside, either to fade out the lines in selective areas, or for rim / separation light.
strobist info:
nikon d60, iso 100, 1/160 @ f5.6
one sb-28 outside @ 1/2 power into a gridspot
one reflector camera right a couple inches from my left shoulder.
