Overhead Scrim Daylight Portrait

Prototype
View lighting setup

One catalog frame, two light controls. Take either one down to read how much of the picture it is carrying, or shift the balance between them; exposure scales the whole frame in linear light.

Daylight through an overhead scrim, with a white bounce under the chin. Take either level down on this beauty frame and read the shadow side in linear light.
