Show off your catchlights

43" umbrella camera right, along with a reflector camera right and low, just to bring up under-neck shadows a tad on her lit side. I wanted her right side to stay in shadow.

One of my personal favorites...

Yup, one of mine too

This is a standard, 11.5 inch diameter 50-degree grid reflector, fitted with a 20-degree grid, and three, Speedotron brand clip-on mylar diffusers, aimed in from about five feet away. It creates a small, bright, rounded catchlight, and the diffusers make the light "soft", yet highly directional at the same time.

Catch lights look natural when they duplicate what the sun does outdoors. A single light either in the 10 o'clock or 2pm position on the iris. No there was no sun on this one as we were about 40 feet underwater. But a strobe over on the left side added the catchlight. Of course the fish weren't cooperating.
