Great portrait lighting set up!

Great portrait lighting set up!



Jacked and Stacked!
I used a technique so that I could control light on the backdrop and also correctly expose the fall off around the subject. Then I simply pushed extra light into the face to really make it pop.

I used a 150cm softbox then put a 27 inch beauty dish with grid directly in front centre. A hair light was added to separate the subject from the background.

    Fantastic video and great tips. Really enjoying working my way though your channel.

    Can I ask where do the majority of your clients come from or who your target audience is? It's very hard finding this info out from photographers like yourself, as someone who want's to pursue dramatic/ cinematic photography, all the advice I get is to stick to the main stream baby and weddings. But it's not where my heart lies.

    As Joe McNally says, lighting is a game of inches.

    Great tips Ian. I especially like the second setup and the results you got from it. I am going to try something similar this afternoon to see what type of results I get. Thanks for the tips.
