Quick way to remember - If the ear toward the camera is lit, it is broad lighting. If that ear is in shadow, it is short lighting.
Short lighting tends to be more flattering as it gives an illusion of a thinner face, but broad light works well if the subject already has a thin - or at least not overly round - face.

I agree with CaptainC. :)

Hi Fran! Not bad for a first try. A lot better than I could do. Anyway, A light against the background to eliminate the shadows would help. I like the one of your son Is good but perhaps a hairlight? I don't know. Google and the people out here can fix you right up in about 10 seconds.

I'd move them further out from the wall to blur it a bit and get rid of the shadows. You could back light the wall as well to remove the shadows.

Thank you. Have been playing with moving my subject farther from the background. I like the result.

You need to take some classes and understand lighting if you are serious about this type of photography. Read some books on the subject. Light is the most important element in photography, and very amateur photographers understand it at all. Outdoor lighting has enough problems, but indoor with artificial lighting has multiple problems. Using an on camera flash will never provide a good picture.

I have learned to never be unequivocal.

I'd say move away from the wall and adjust your umbrella until you have no shadow, try raising it up too!
