Large set lighting

This past week our lighting assignment was to create and light a setting that is large in relationship to the subject.  We were also asked to do this twice, each time with different lighting to change the quality of the image.  I did another self-portrait, because I'm tired of doing objects and I have no one else to photograph during the day.  We also had to stay in our "genre", so I continued the theme of a woman dressing for a formal evening out (like the photo I posted of the woman with the earring).  This shot involved 4 separate lights on top of the lamps and ambient lighting in the rooms, along with a reflector and a cutter. I wasn't too happy about either shot, but of the two I shot, I liked this one better, so I thought I'd post it.  We don't have to show these until next week, so I may reshoot this assignment doing something else.  I usually like my reshoots better.  Anyway, here's the post for the week.
