Light is usually the most important factor in a photograph. In this video, take a look at the options for lighting your subjects in the temporary studio space.
- With your set built you're ready to…start the process of lighting.…This won't be the first time…you've thought about the lighting for your set though,…because when you come into the room…you really want to think about how you can…use the lights that are here.…We've already seen that we've got…these two big windows over here.…Those are potentially a great light source.…They're actually strong enough to be a good key light,…so you might want to think about,…if you're shooting a portrait, putting a set in here…using the window light as a key light…and setting up some additional lights as fill.…We've also go these lights up here on the ceiling.…They're kind of spread around in a somewhat haphazard way.…
I guess we got most of them over this table.…They're nice lights.…The problem is they're kind of spotty.…They really project a circle down,…which, for something small, might be nice.…Again, that's overheard light, so you may need…to augment it with something else.…Or you can cancel it completely.…We could turn it out.…
