So let’s put all of this information to work and take a look at a few examples: Beauty Lighting Arrangement #1:
SHOOTING PHOTO GLAMOUR FULL
As I explained in the previous article, I use a 70-200mm zoom for most of my studio shooting (close-up or full length). When I have a client project that requires a larger space, I rent a 4,000sq foot studio and pass the cost along to the client. I shoot most of my beauty images in a shooting area that is barely over 500 sq. See if you can tell the differenceīefore we get into the examples it is worth noting that my studio space is relatively small. Buff AlienBee B800, a few of the shots are done with a Photogenic 1250DR. This light is also very flattering and reduces the amount of retouching needed to clean up facial flaws or blemishes.Īs you will see on the examples below, I am shooting in a white space made up of a white background, white ceiling, white walls and white reflectors.įor the sake of this article I am going to show you two variations on this beauty lighting theme that I routinely use.įor most of the shots in this article we are going to work with 1 – 320ws Paul C. When I look at these images I am drawn to my subjects eyes and facial expressions with very few distractions. I love to use the backlighting effect for the purity and dream like quality that it creates. I am not a big fan of simple white backgrounds when coupled with butterfly or clamshell lighting arrangements they feel too sterile to me. The exposure is based on the light being reflected back to the subject from the reflectors that will be placed in front of or on the side of the subject. ALL of the light will be behind the subject.
The lighting concept for this article is very simple. If you haven’t read them, I would encourage you to do so as it is important to remember my KISS IT formula. If you have read many of my articles know how I feel about rules.
Even back in the film days the inside of the Kodak boxes had the Daylight Lighting Table that explained you should put the light behind the camera with the subject facing towards the light.
I know you are thinking the title is wrong.
