An attempt to befriend scary lighting

I've been experimenting with indoor and severe lighting (aka. the terrifying unknown)... needless to say it has been quite a challenge without the proper "studio" equipment. Thankfully, a majority of my photography is done outdoors with wonderful FREE and KIND light: the sun. Brittney and Sara allowed me to experiment on them a bit and were very cooperative in my makeshift experimentation. I'm not going to lie.. I sure do love beautiful people.
