Thanks for the help. I think you answered many other related questions that I have as well.
I've been debating on whether or not to get a octabox. One of the reasons I am looking for one is that I prefer a dark background and well lit model. Looking at your example, you are able to accomplish this with a translucent umbrella.
Since I am working in a small space, I want the light to fall off quickly and not illuminate the background. Yet I still need to have a light source far enough from the model to not have the equipment in the frame of full body shots. Again, your example shows that this can be done with an umbrella and a softbox is not required.
Thanks again for the help.
