I like Dr Sam's answer!! The other ratio is the lighting ratio to give effective contrast between the lightest and darkest parts of the portrait. If the ratio is too small or doesn't exist, there is no contrast to highlight the structure of the face, and the portrait will be characterless.
A ratio of 3:1 or 4:1 will still allow the film/sensor to capture the details in the darker areas without overexposing the lighter areas of the image.

If you get the subject too close to the camera the ratio of their nose to the rest of their face will be all out of whack. You could fix that in Photoshop, though.
