Aaron's Eyes
This is a shot from Aarons second headshot session we did today. He got his hair cut and he grew out some facial hair a bit. I adore this shot of him and wanted to share this lighting setup because it worked magic on him…I am sure plenty of people have figured this out already but it is kind of new for me so yeah.
I stood on a chair since Aaron is pretty tall and I wanted to be eye level or a little higher than him. I had my softbox turned horizontal above and behind me pretty much putting light almost straight down on his face. I then I had my oval reflector right under his face to bounce the light back into his eyes. It created smooth lighting onto his face while still having depth. The background is a white background very lightly lit with a back light but I had Aaron stand so far from the background it appears gray/blue.

I can neither match this young man’s singular physical beauty, nor his vitally intent expression, with any of the words I know, or have ever heard… yet you have done so with a click of the shutter, lighting, and skill.
