Fill-light was via a Eye-lighter reflector below the subject.The main light on her was diffused with the huge Profoto RFi 5.0′ Octa Softbox.I used three Profoto D1 Air 500 Ws studio lights ( affiliate) for my lights.It is similar to other examples shown on Tangents, but with the Eye-lighter added. How much of a reflection, will depend on how you position the Eyelighter.įor the photos here, I used a fairly consistent lighting setup. There is a distinctive curved high-light that it gives to the bottom part of your subject’s eyes. The first time I encountered the Westcott Eyelighter ( B&H / Amazon), was at the After Dark Edu photography conventions, and I was fascinated by this lighting device and the results it gave. Westcott has released a curved reflector, the Eyelighter ( B&H / Amazon), and it is quite versatile: It is all in how we balance the various lights, and how we add fill-light. With portrait lighting for head shots, there are so many configurations – all the way from dramatic lighting, to very even light – but always keeping in mind that the lighting needs to look flattering.
