Piero Gianni is a filmmaker, but this video is also very interesting for us photographers. He talks about lighting the space instead of the face. Something we can naturally apply as photographers too.
The light modifier Piero uses is also available for flash, of course. For example, the Optical Spot by Lindsay Adler, which I tried out some time ago. I have since bought an optical spot myself too, although I went for a different, cheaper brand.
