This way, the lower part of the face is lighter than the top part and the highlights are at an un-natural location.

Holding the reflector higher and bouncing the light down on the model would put the highlights in a more natural place. Makes the assistant look a bit goofy but the end result looks much better.

You are absolutely right! sometimes on location its so damn hard to see anything… you may have something here! I’m gonna give it a shot :) i wonder if it’d be doable to do one for a 13″ laptop… ;) maybe with a fabric softener bottle or somethin’ ? ;P

Unlike a product like the Hoodman HoodLoupe for example.

I always have a hard time looking at the back of the screen on very sunny days.

I think the hardest part is getting the camera to stay straight as it moves up and down. I found a little how to on instructables. http://www.instructables.com/id/DIY-Camera-Crane/
