Questions? Actually I'm curious about the catchlights in her eyes and the placement of multiple square soft boxes. I'm just dipping my toes into portrait and headshot photography, and I agonize over catchlight placement. As a pro, is there a general rule you follow, or does the overall exposure take priority?
Lighting is a bigger topic than photography, you spend a lot of time on the study of lighting, I started with Stage Lighting then continued on the location lighting.
Even on location outdoors there are a lot of things you can do with fill cards, tenting and additional lights.
