Yes, applying directional light at that angle really highlights surface contours, and even folks with very little cheekbone definition will get some. Once I placed it, the light stayed put and she was moving around a lot into different poses so the amount and direction of contouring changed significantly from shot to shot. But as a professional she knows just where the light is and avoids poses that would result in dark eye sockets that would have made her look _really_ emaciated, which I appreciated. Directing her was a breeze. -- -bmw -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
