For my Advanced Techniques in Photojournalism class, we were to photograph two types of images: one whose lighting configuration we couldn’t figure out easily and one whose lighting enhanced the image’s overall mood.
I found these two images in Fall 2008 issue of PDNedu.
This is a vertical crop of a horizontal photo. I cropped it in-camera. Not sure why I chose to do that. It appears that a softbox was aimed at each child’s head — but I can’t figure out exactly how.
This photo is of two children playing in a wrecked building in Kabul. It was photographed by Lana Slezic, and is the photo I chose for its lighting and its impact on mood.
Words and Light 
For clues, the first image contains tons of catch lights.

It kinda scares me that people even think of this kind of deconstruction. But I suppose it makes sense.
