Tip: Feather that light 

Ever wondered how shots like this make it possible to create lensflare but don’t blow out the models hairs?
The trick is feathering the light. 

Now what does that mean?

When you set up your light, you normally aim towards your subject. However when you want to do shots like this it’s better to aim the strobe straight into the lens and away from the model. 
Every light source has a hard and bright centre and a softer side. With this knowledge you can do amazing stuff with your lighting. Aim the lighting away from the model to get a softer quality of light but also to get a much nicer accent light on the hairs (harder light always give that harsh look to the hairs making them jump out)
So the next time you want to grab to diffusion material first try to feather your light. I think you’ll love it.
