Man and Clarinet

Flashback Friday!! Oh, it is also the thirteenth. Happy friggatriskaidekaphobia!!! Here is another of my favorites of clarinet player, Jonathan Greene. This is one of my favorite lighting scenarios, and could not be easier to set up. There is a large softbox in front of Jonathan, but his nose is aligned with the very outer edge of the diffusion. This prevents most of the light from hitting the left side of his face, providing just an edge of light around his visage. Had he moved just two inches closer to camera, the light would not touch his near cheek, leaving just a silhouette of his face. I believe there was a second light behind him, just to prevent the shadow-side of his face from going black. There is just a hint of light on his ear from this second source. Simple, but hopefully it hits the right note. Thanks for checking it out!
