Using the directional diffused light from a window will evenly light the face but will generally leave the 'shadows' too dark. Lighting them with a white posterboard or a sheet of foam type home insulation reflection can keep the shadowed side from looking too dark. I generally do not use the approach except by reproducing it in studio but you can see one that I did for a commercial client of mine. It is the largest commercial company in the world BTW. Good luck on the shoot. At least you were concerned enough to ask. Contact me from my site if you want more info or from my profile here. http://www.curtisneeley.com/Portfolios/Commercial-photogaphy-by-curtis-neeley/images/office.jpg<br><b>References : </b><br> Modified 'natural light' is what of of the best of us use.
