Why is Jacko always lit from below?

In all these interviews, he's lit from low angle lights. Usually anyone who's interviewed in front of a camera is lit with standard 3-point lighting, and usually from a higher angle. I wonder if they do this cuz his face is so fucked up. Maybe it's a weird shadow issue. I'd imagine those lights would be hard on a person's eyes. I guess everything with him has to be bizarre.

Because he always insists that a little 12 year-old boy hold the lights.

He did actually touch his nose during the interview, which was kind of a minor miracle in the evolution of special effects.
