Dear Al, I would run the camera and the two 550 flash units manually.  Set
your camera on Manual Mode, with appropriate f/stop as measured by a flash
light meter, and an appropriate shutter speed within the sync range.  Set
the 550s to Manual Mode, with appropriate power ratio adjustment for each
one.

Set up your main (key) flash (off-to-the-side) for whatever f/stop
requirement you may have for your subject.

Then set up your fill (on- or near-camera) flash for whatever
flash-unit-to-flash-unit ratio you desire.

Regards,

Bill Neukranz

Subject: EOS 550EX Main Flash as Fill?

If you're using two 550EX flashes, one as master on camera and one as
slave on a light stand with umbrella, is it possible to use a setting
that would allow the slave with umbrella to be the primary light source
and the on-camera 550EX fill flash?
