Bobasaur, Thank you for going to the trouble to make the diagram. Truthfully, when I looked at the photo ahead of time I had trouble deciding if the light was simply coming from the front,far left side or..from slightly behind. The trouble with lighting from behind her, the loss of her features. I did try lighting from slightly behind and adding a one soft light to light her features, I was not pleased with the effect. So I guess my choice in this case is..not see her features..or turn her toward the light? You wrote: 'It looks like what we're seeing in the photo is light bounced towards us by surfaces that aren't perpendicular to the camera.' Does this mean that only surfaces that are perpendicular to the camera should have light bouncing off them?
