> Have you ever experimented with your light set up?

A lot. Part of the problem was that for many years I had cheap inflexible 
lights (Speedotron Brown) that were difficult to control, and my studio was 
very small. About six months ago I was able to buy some strobes that were 
much more adjustable, and I've been playing around with lots of lighting 
combinations. I find that young people look good in any light, and older 
people only look good in soft light, so I've tended to leave them soft in 
order that I don't have to keep readjusting them.

I'm always open to suggestions.
