I'm new to studio type lighting, and I always wind up with two lights in my subject's eyes. I only want one, obviously, but I can only acheive that if I have both of my lights on one side, or only use one light. But of course that doesn't give me the desired effect I'm looking for.
I'm using two reflector lights w/ and w/o umbrellas.
Help me out! =) |

use photoshop to create your desired eye catch lights.

You can always clone it out in post processing...
You can use one light with a reflector as fill in on the other side maybe?

Yeah, I'm just not big on photoshop-ing a lot of my photos! =) (makes me feel like the original isn't good enough by itself... lol) But, I've looked around and seen that I could just by a softbox and use a background light to achieve the one-light-in-the-eye effect.
Thanks for all of your help! |

The main thing is ... you have a key light and a fill light. The fill light should be "broad" light (a big soft box, or even just point your strobe backwards towards a white wall). Your key light can be smaller and closer to the subject. This is the one that will appear as a point source of light in the eyes. The position of this light matters a lot. The position of the fill light does not.
