For mixed lighting, I decided to half light the face with natural light coming in at a 45 degree angle from above, the devils pit seemed like a good area because of the second floor windows. I thought that this would help create shadows under the eyebrows, nose and bottom lip without being too harsh. The first photo I took was just using the light on the left from the window in the devil's pit and a large piece of white paper on the right to get a very faint glow on the cheek.
For the second photo I attempted to use the flash as a secondary, artificial, source of light instead of the paper. It did not turn out well. I found that I could adjust the power of the flash and set it to 1/8 the standard power, It gave me this nice result of a slightly more powerful glow on the right cheek and gave a bit more " of a shine" to the hair. It also took me about 5 different shots because Sam kept look directly at the camera!
