Behind the Shot: Freckles and Catchlights

This image caught our attention today. Firstly it reminded us of our 15 Fantastic Freckle Portrait image collection but also the catchlights made us curious as to the lighting (see below for the photographers lighting description).

Photographer Brian Ingram describes his lighting as follows:

“1 strobe through a large gridded softbox (positioned horizontally) at about 1/2 power directly above lens and a silver reflector at chest level.”

Looks like it was the gridded softbox that created the unusual catchlights.
