Hana runs a six-person studio and had a very specific brief: the glasses stay on, the reflection has to be clean, and she did not want to look pleased to be there.

The glasses are the hard part. A single softbox and a bounce card put one clean catchlight in each lens and no ghost of the light in the frames - which is the whole argument for one light instead of four.
