Sample lighting setups
Basic single light
There is an amazing amount of versatility that you can get out of one light. Consider for a moment that the sun is only one
source, however the angle of the light (ie time of day, atmosphere it passes through and location in the world) affects the quality.
In addition there are surfaces that are reflecting, modifying and diffusing light all the time.
Using a simple umbrella for example, diffuses the light and creates a larger and softer, broader source, then using the strobe by
itself. The closer you make the source the more specular or harder the light appears (fig.1) and the further the source the flatter
or softer that the light appears. (fig. 2)
The first thing you want to do is position the umbrella in the light to the point just before there is no spillage outside the
umbrella’s interior surface. If you place the light too close to the umbrella, you are not taking advantage of the broad source your
umbrella offers. Next, position the umbrella off to one side of your subject to create dimension. (fig. 1-A) Start at three or four
feet away for a basic head and shoulders portrait and slightly above the subject pointing slightly down. (fig. 2-A) Experiment with
the angle relationship to your subject.
It is best to do this in a dark room with the modeling light on to watch how the light falls on your subject. Keep in mind that the
closer your subject is to the background and the further the light is to the subject the more illumination of the background will
occur. (Also by using a darker back ground, more light will be needed to illuminate it.) To create separation from the background
use a second light either illuminating the background or as a hair light to illuminate the back of the subject.
