One method of placing [the main] light properly, using the modelling lights, is to watch the resultant catchlights. As seen from the camera-lens position, these catchlights should be located at approximately the 1 o'clock or 11 o'clock position, depending on whether broad or short lighting is used and on the direction the subject is facing. 4, record 2, English, - catchlight
