Download my 46 minute Lighting with Colour mini course for just £15 - - support me on Patreon for extra content, informal breakdowns of my work and extended Youtube videos. So this is a technique you sometimes see Roger Deakins using in his work - the “cove“ of lighting around your subject, allows you to light for a natural looking, graduated fall off of light on the face. The versatility of the setup allows you to tweak the power levels of each bounced light to easily adjust your contrast ratios on the subject, allowing for moodier, darker looks, or softer, brighter looks. You have a big soft light in your scene, without needing the extra room or expenses to shoot super powerful lights through huge pieces of diffusion. A very useful technique!
