SUMMARY:
Three point lighting technique
*Key light
-Typically the brightest light
-Set up at a 45 degree angle facing the subject
-Its job is to light the subject
-Set the height properly to avoid unwanted shadows
*Fill light
-Not as bright as the key light
-Set up at a 45 degree angle facing the subject opposite the key light
-Its job is to soften the shadows created by the key light
-Make sure it's the same height as the key light
-Can use a reflective surface as an alternative and bounce light from the key light
*Three point lighting tips
-Diffuse light with a soft-box, light umbrella, or even a white sheet
-Don't over-brighten the shot
-Check the color temperature of the ambient light
-Your camera can auto white balance, but it's good to dial in the light temperature before you turn your camera on
*Rim light
-Set up above and behind the subject
-Its job is to create a soft halo of light around the subject to separate the subject from the background
-Can set up directly behind the subject to create a more dramatic halo effect
Advanced lighting techniques
*Background lighting
-Balances the light in the foreground with the light in the background
*Practical lighting
-Makes the shot more visually interesting
-Don't overdo it and distract from the main subject
-Can use lamps, colored LED lights, or small shelf lights
*Light blocking
-Methods for blocking unwanted light from your shot
-Blackout curtain over a window
-Barn doors to direct light
If you can't leave your lights set up
*Mark the position of your lights
*Mark your light stand heights
*Take note of any custom settings
