I recently read over an Fstoppers article that spoke about the importance of using diffusion panels both black and clear. And how to use shade your advantage. I placed my model right under a doorway that lead into a little room. I then placed a 5 and 1 (using silver side) directly to the left of the model and implemented the "twerking" method and softened the light bouncing off the 5 and 1 by having my assistant fold it towards her and away from model. The only addition to this was a modifier to create a nice accent light right behind the models head (viewers right side). This is the shot that I came up with in the end.
I read that article..and I think you pulled it off beautifully with the light coming from the rear looking very balanced and natural.
Thank you Jason.
