If you do this and depending on whether you are shooting a full shot or portrait, you must consider your placement. If it is a full shot, it would be great if you could either sit down or lay on the ground, as the subject will be looking down in to the light. However if they do not, the effect is really dramatic casting shadows from the cheeks upward. If you do a portrait, you can raise the light to waist level and shooting up at them at between 45-60° having them look very slightly down in to it, allowing you, if you so desire to shoot slightly below waist level, i.e. you sitting on a chair.
