Tip #2

When making a portrait with light
feathered across a subject (leaving one
side of the face in shadow), make
sure you get a catchlight in both
eyes. This will keep the eye in the
shadows from going "lifeless".
By looking closely at the eyes, you
can see whether you are getting the
catchlights while you are shooting.
