Master??? Hmmmmm . . . not certain about that! There are others on this
list much more masterful than I.
I mentioned the one hazard . . . eye shadows under the brow and a slightly
lesser hazard of them under chin. Extent and magnitude depends on shooting
distance and ceiling height . . . ceiling bounce being aimed ideally at
midpoint to subject or perhaps just a tad closer. The higher the ceiling
and closer the distance, the more the potential problem. Otherwise . . .
working within its limitations . . . it can create a very diffused/soft
lighting and reduce contrast giving a feeling of generic ambient room
lighting . . . especially if the ceiling is textured.
Light loss when bouncing like this can vary widely with surface
reflectivity. Worthy of testing it and various distances to determine
working range in advance if at all possible.
