I was mistaken when I thought that there a perfect setup that could be used for all faces. The truth is some faces look great or normal or horrible according to the lighting setup, the golden rule is there is no golden rule. After many attempts shooting Melanie with high-key lighting setups, she looked very normal until I paused for couple of minutes, looked at her face and made a quick analysis of how to get the best out of her. And this what I came up with.
The conclusion: the golden rule is there is no golden rule. As a photographer, I should understand and be aware of what I need so I can take effective and efficient decisions.
sorry for my bad writing ^__^
