@tucker o'brien

Thanks for the comment. I created the diagram with the web tool found at this site:

and then made a screenshot.

this is very informative, but one question: how did you make the diagram/illustration?

@Udi and Calandan:

Yeah, I agree about the left side of the frame needing a bit of light. I think a white reflector placed to the left of the model would have provided a subtle amount of reflection to rim the brim (hey, that rhymes!) of his hat.

Very well done, Rich, always a pleasure to see your behind-the-scenes graphic, too.

I agree with your self-criticism on the light balance, maybe as Udi notes you can splash some of that distant softbox’s light onto the backdrop?

I love this effect Rich. Thanks for sharing the setup.
Is there anything you can do for separating the left edge of the hat?
