Helpful Posts: I got a great deal on a 1m x 1m Photoflex scrim. I wanted to try a new lighting technique I picked up recently. The scrim was positioned just above the subject's head and a studio light with a small beauty dish was placed above it. Add a subject with goggles, hat and old, well worn Harley-Davidson motorcycle jacket to get this result.

Re: Portrait Lighting experiment
Nice photo. IMHO the goggles make the right (camera left) eye appear large.

Re: Portrait Lighting experiment
That was the idea of the shot. I shot with a 50mm focal length to get close to the subject and exaggerate and distort the face slightly. It's all about noticing the eye.

Re: Portrait Lighting experiment
It has worked well, Manfred, I think that soft lighting is quite flattering for the subject.
