The next set we try was interesting. Willy raised a curtain like layer of cloth, then put the big soft light box behind to create the effect of sun light coming in from the window. It was very unique and good.

Chin, I like these photos as the lighting is very good.  Thanks for your sharing on how to set the lights, this is really something have to learn for studio shooting.  So regret to miss this chance.  Look forward your next studio meeting.

Yes, the main idea of this outing was to try different lighting. And I was somewhat happen with the result. There are already some other effect that I would like to try. Perhaps we can organize another one.

BTW Kai, you observation is very photographer like. That you noticed the lighting, effect, etc... Most of my friends would not notice. They like Melody Chan's photo because her face is very easy to like. I agree with that, but the lighting for the Melody Chan session was very plain and safe.

Are you talking about me ?

Many people, in the office & the tea forum, only comment on how the model looked. 

Are you one of them?

Many people are 'technique' oriented, however, I feel that the most important part of the photo is the content itself.  If you shoot a portrait, the portrait herself is the key.  If you can make people feel the portrait character, then your photo is successful.  I would like to hear some non photographer comment on my photos, because it would help me to understand how other people feel subjectively, not judging by the technique.   I am not sure if I express well on this point.
