I wanted the overhead light, but I'm having trouble getting any catchlights. I'm thinking about adding a reflector or low power flash at a lower angle, but i don't want to lose shadow. What works for you?
Maybe small softbox not directed into the face placed quite far away would create a catchlight without wiping out the shadows. Any reflector will destroy them ;(

That's probably the best bet. I'll give it a shot.
Let us know the result :)
