He did the stills for Gone With The Wind. He said catch-lights should always be round and in the 11 o’clock or 1 o’clock position. The flood light in round reflector made this easy at a 45 degree angle from subject and 45 degrees up in height. I still use hot lights, not flash so the pupil in the eye is very small (black dot in center of eye) and the Iris is showing much more that it would if an electronic flash was used with a weak or no modeling light. Large soft boxes or square light boxes look horrible and unnatural in the eye. So does the refection of a reflector. The old portrait painters knew what they were doing when they painted eyes with a tiny pupil and round catch light.

It’s more natural and in nature and it sends a sort of invisible diagnal line right through the eyes that say “look at me”

I suppose that you only have to have 1 set. How do you remove the other set of unwanted catchlight. Please share your Photoshop method so that I could apply it.

Can you tell the lighting setup from the Catch Lights in this shot? Look at the first image, then check the behind the scenes shot.

It is not elitist to say that skilled photographers, professional or amateur, work to catch a moment in the frame. There is an art to the darkroom and Photoshop too, but relying on post-production to fix rather than enhance an already worthy image deprives the individual of learning and improving. If your goal is to paint a picture in PS, that’s fine, but there is also an art to capturing a moment, and you either work to be good at that or you don’t. Ansel Adams or Cartier-Bresson didn’t have digital cameras and they didn’t say I’ve got other things to do. That is why their negatives are in museums.

Posed examples of catchlights from various studio lighting sources, like beauty dish, boxes, umbrellas, and ring lights.

See examples at: http://glamourphotography.co/?p=739

My favs now are using two boxes and rings.

Making them in photoshop is still an area for study. Tho I do touch them up and down.

AND my driveway is white, and the wall against my driveway is light=colored …so my perfect lighting is still creating some funky catchlights. it’s frustrating not being able to be perfect. LOL. studio light provides better results for the catch lights, but not always the even lighting that i need. Ohhh, the dilemma!
