I agree with Randall - it's not well done but I like the technique. I
learned it in a ****trait class several years back. It was described as
Clint
Eastwood lighting, invented by him and re****tedly he insisted on that
lighting set-up for most of his publicity shots.
The main light is placed behind the subject (usually a male) then a fill
light placed on the opposite side of the subject.
The effect is very dramatic when done well, which was Mr. Eastwood's goal
all along. Obviously anyone employing this technique is not interested in
duplicating the sun's lighting effect.
