Before I did anything - even using the cam - I ask - what light level do I have in front of me? In this case - Shuttered Window Light.
After I did the image - I found Tonal Values to work on - in my Negative Image Work Copy - that would keep the light level I have in the room. My Tonal Value to work on turned out to be the subject's right hand (our left) right where it touches the left arm.
My end result carried the Shuttered Window Look by not wiping out on the face, arms, or White Shirt.
