@disneytoy you want more interview setups? What kind of stuff are you doing?

here's one: (sorry no drawings or images) classic fashion/glamour portrait look (also, funnily enough rap video look... go figure) is a softbox or octabank smack over the lens. High, frontal. Get it high enough that you start to feel the cheekbone shadows and the eyebrow shadow cuts into the eyes, but not so much that you kill the glint in the eye from that light. If you go higher and get a more contrasty shadowy dramatic look, then you might want to put something smaller over your lens to put the glint back in the eye. Dead center, high. Works great on people with pronounced cheekbones, good skin, good makeup. Don't do it to anyone whose eye-areas are starting to show the years.

For that, I love my joker 800 witha 5' octaplus on it.

So basic. They ALL do it. source gets bigger and smaller, use/don't use backlights, use/don't use negative or positive fill, but that's the basics of glamor lighting. Big soft bag over the camera.

If you go higher and get a more contrasty shadowy dramatic look, then you might want to put something smaller over your lens to put the glint back in the eye. keep the intensity down on the smaller eyelight. it can be hard, don't worry. If you get the intensity right, you won't really see it except for a small ping in the eye. You will see the shape of the light in the eyeball, so I don't recommend a kino. Square or round source.

So proceeding from there, go with two matched backlights, one on each side. soft or hard, your pick; hard can make some distracting glares on shiny hair or shoulders, but it's much easier to cut and control off of your lens etc. IF yo're going hard, lekos or dedos with focal spots are always winners because you can slice them so precisely with no grip equipment. Soft can be a little nicer; not so intense. be aware that a primary purpose of backlights is just to separate your subject from the background, not necessarily make things gleam. you can get good separation also by lighting the background right behind an unlit part of the subjects head, especially if there is color contrast. Black hair on black bg, you pretty much have to light the hair.

Then go decorate your background with whatever you have left.

Found an example: 4k Aurasoft over the lens, about 8' high, (could have gone a little higher), hard leko backlights. No fill.
