Thank you :)

I was inspired by this Katy Perry photo shoot.

I saw the parabolic reflector with the soft silver interior casting a soft shadow (instead of a sharp shadow from parallel rays) and I wondered about the light modifier.

I also watched some of your Photoshop-Tutorials in the meantime. I like their analytic style (especially when you were
explaining Blendmodes - that's quite unique.
Many other Tutorials only share proven workflows without giving the user a broader background.
