I wish I had taken a before photo, but trust me the statue was lost in the shadows. Another problem is when the student is reading the sun is above and her face is in the shadow.
I added two strobes using a grid on each of them. Here is the setup for this photo:
I underexposed the scene about -2/3 of stop. Then I just was sure that the flash on the student's face was around ƒ/8 and on the statue it was more like ƒ/10 to just help lighten it up just a bit more and help this not be in the shadows but help add value to the photograph.

All comments are reviewed.This is done primarily to eliminate spamming. Please be patient, I maybe on assignment and unable to review right away.
But to increase meaningful conversation, sometimes it’s necessary to reduce the not-so-meaningful bits. Here are the kinds of things we’ve been deleting in recent posts. Please avoid these types of comments:
One-word comments like “Cool!” or “Thanks!” While we appreciate the congrats, we’d love to hear more about what exactly you love, and (even more importantly) why.
Shameless self-promotion. Comments that contain links to your site within the body or otherwise encourage folks to visit your blog are a no-no. If you’d like to increase traffic to your blog, there are other places than here to do that.
Multiple comments by one author. We’re glad you want to be engaged, but please give others a chance to speak, too.
Really long comments. Let’s just say that if you need to take more than three breaths to read your comment, it’s probably too long.
