Thanks, Rick. Your advice about letting him move in and out of the light is good.

Fixing something to the ceiling could work, too. Do you have any thoughts about which of my lights would be a good choice as the one(s) to bounce off it?

I had another idea today: rig a couple of lights outside the windows (which are all along one wall), with something along the interior wall facing them to bounce the light back the other way. It’d be interesting to try, but I have no idea what the results would be with the lights I’ve got. If I had to add CTB gel to the softboxes then they might not be bright enough.

I think I’ll have to take all the options I can think of and see what works on the day. Luckily this is a personal project, not one I’m being paid for — so I can afford to experiment a bit.

If anyone else has any thoughts then I’m open to more suggestions.

Thanks again.

James
