Definition
A small bright reflection or sparkle in the eye, especially in artistic or photographic representation; also called a catchlight.
Etymology
From 'eye' + 'light' (Old English leoht). Compound formed in art terminology to describe the highlight that gives eyes dimension and life in images.
Kelly Says
Portrait photographers obsess over eyelights—a single tiny reflection of a window or lamp in each eye is what separates a dead-looking portrait from one that seems to gaze directly at you with emotion and intelligence.
