Catch Lights

I have been working on setting up some portrait setups that specifically add some interesting catchlights.  For this shot I used two Neewer 43″ triangle 5-in-1 reflectors with the silver reflector out.  I learned a hard lesson on this one.  The grip handles on these inexpensive reflectors can not support the weight horizontally without additional support.  After breaking both handles I put them back together and banded them with support via tie-wraps.  I used a light stand under for the additional support and had no problems from then on moving forward.  For the main light I used a WestCott Rapidbox directly overhead.

Reflector Setup

In this setup the light from the main light reflects up and causes some great catchlights in the eyes in the subject.
