If you’ve gotten good at one-light portraits, it’s time to introduce a second light in this two-light portrait setup. My favorite way to use it: Cross Lighting.

Found your vid just in time. I was scared that I didn’t have enough lights for a scheduled session. Then I found your crosslighting video! What a relief!
Thank you!
Yours are among the best lighting tutorials I've ever watched. I love the illustrations showing the setup from above, it's incredibly helpful. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Thanks but how do I get rid of shadow ? Or should I just not use white for the backdrop to shoot a model
Thankyou so much for Sharing your knowledge
Great, concise and what I needed. Cheers
❤️
Is the second light at the same height as the key light?
Thank you Master!
Great tutorial in 3 minutes and straight to the point. Nice supporting illustrations. Thank you!
Love the cross light look. Great video.
Guess I have something new to practice this weekend. Cross lighting. I love the look, never tried to pull it off. I need to rummage through my stuff and see if I have two umbrellas. If not, a soft box and an umbrella would work well together wouldn't they?
Your tutorials are always brilliant. It’s coming up to the time to do the staff headshots for the charity I’m an advisor for, I hate shooting wingless bipeds and I’m going to rewatch all your tutorials again. I have managed to transfer the basic principles to still life and food, and the rules of light are the rules of light, but it’s very much a confidence thing when I have people in the studio (which happens to be a room at said charity so it’s very cheap rent doing this every so often). Great video as always Ed, really enjoyed it.
No real comment on the video other than to say it's the same great stuff that got me to subscribe. That said, has anyone mentioned that the photo of you on your channel header makes you look like Charlie Sheen? ; )
Quality advise as usual! One slightly off topic question, do you use shoot through umbrellas or soft box for outdoors group shots. Hey Ed, I just realized I had bought your book “100% Reliable Flash Photo“ some two years now, I will now study it. Thanks.
