Thanks! Just arrange three softboxes so they are in a triangle, bring them in very close, and shoot through the hole in the center.

thank you ! in fact, I built a box with no front and back panel ( see the picture ). after, I cut through a cardboard the symbol that I wanted and slide it in the box to make the frontpanel and flash it from the back with a speedlight ;)

( check out the last picture of my serie to see the box and the symbol ;) )

The idea is great. But the catch light looks awfull. Looks photoshopped and unnatural even though it’s not.

I like the idea behind this..I think. Perhaps it would be more flattering if the catchlights weren’t in the center of the eye. Did you try to move the setup to different spots to try getting them a little higher/over to the side?

I did this in 2011 for the Fstoppers BTS contest (shows setup and pics around 2:00).
