One tiny little challenge to this.
When used as primary light source, on-axis, point-source lighting is
evil with a capital E.
However, when used as a kicker fill only, it is wonderful. It's just
about perfect for adding a little life to the subject's eyes and
lifting up the eyebrow shadows. It takes just a tiny bit, though.
