Actually I think #2 perspective is more pleasing and a classic but the reflexes of the light in your brother's eyes are disturbing. That little detail made the shot worse even to the casual observer.
If I would have to do that shot I'd use a large softbox so to diffuse the light more, or also a flash trough umbrella but very close to the subject.
Using lights is a pain, I know _________________ Alessandro

If I have any kind of flash I would do that. hehe
I did this only with 2 fluorescent lamps together as a kitchen lamp. |

I started with two alogen lamps used in garage shops, but now decent semipro flashes are becoming less and less expensive and with 500-600 euro you can get a useful system (with the advantage that you will still use it when Canon will realese the Canon 5d Mk XIII). Flashes are the same as lenses if you treat them with care.
Anyway returning to your actual situation you have to think at other cheap systems to diffuse lights. White foam panels for example. Point the fluorescent lamps against them and light your subject with the diffused bouncing the light. They also have the advantage of being square so you can simulate the classic softbox shape reflections. _________________ Alessandro
