Hello John,
Yer close, but close only counts in horse shoes! ;-)

The correct phrase is... "Shoot from the shadow side!" ;-)

And as far as the "models' eyes?" The image you're trying to shoot dictates 
where the eyes go. :-) Sometimes directly at the viewer. Other? Whatever 
will make the picture work! :-)

And thanks for being mesmerized by some of my pictures. :-) Very kind of 
you. :-)
