ok, so how do you get a catchlight in someones eyes? The reflection of one of course! Do you need to blind them with a torch?

What tempra says, of course. But you can also paint 'm in later, in PP.tempra said:basically make sure that there is a light source reflecting from them, could be a flash, a window or the sun - you could use a torch, but they might hit you with it after a while!
markc said:Personally I would avoid adding them with software. While it can give you nice catchlights, they won't match the light. People who have been into photography for a while will see the disjuction and will find it jarring. That's one of the same reasons why I usually don't like replacing a boring sky with a dramatic one. The lighting often doesn't match.
The eyes are acting like a convex mirror, so any light that is in front of the subject and not too far off to the side will show up in their eyes. They are often handy to use if you are trying to figure out how a photographer lit the scene.
