Use this quick and easy lighting setup for incredible photos in under a minute. [View in Web Browser]( Hi {NAME}, Let's take a look at an important lesson I'm constantly reiterating within our education. You can do A LOT with one setup, and one light. Let's talk about each. Here's the final image below. In this newsletter, I'll break down how I got there with a simple lighting setup and just a few minutes at a recent wedding a couple weeks back. One Light Early in my career, lighting skill was all about complexity. What could I create with a 3 or 4 light setup? Later in my career, lighting skill became all about simplicity. With the right subject placement, framing, and light positioning you can make one light look like a complex 4+ light setup. Best of all, it's far easier carrying and setting up one light versus three or four. So let's talk about the setup here. One Minute Before you begin thinking about how you want to light a scene, first spend a minute analyzing the existing light within the scene. Within this particular scene, they already had lights placed on the arch/stone detail in the background. Not only was that light bright, but the scene itself was quite bright and lit with both tungsten light (left/right of frame) and natural light coming through the windows. Immediately, I knew I wanted to expose for the brightest lights (the arch/stone detail) which would then kill most of the ambient light that I didn't want. I also knew that a single carefully placed backlight would not only look as though it was coming from the arch/stone, but I could also use it to add detail to the trees/leaves, as well as fill to the front of the scene. That's what I aimed to do. I placed a Profoto B10 (any 200ws light will do) about 20 feet behind the couple (right by the arch/stone). On it, are a CTO gel and gride to control light spill. The height of the light is at their hips but tipped up to hit not only their heads but to spill onto the white ceiling/room behind me. This is what adds fill back in front of my subjects. One light, that's doing the job of three. One Setup Finally, after you have your light set up, you've got your first shot and it looks fantastic. DON'T STOP! This is one of our biggest mistakes, we set up our light, we get the shot we had in mind, then we stop and set up a new shot. Instead, think WIDE, MEDIUM, TIGHT. Shoot your different angles, move your feet, look for objects to shoot through, and adjust your subject's pose. ALL OF IT. A single light setup is good for multiple images, so don't waste all that work by just getting one shot and then moving on. All of this, from lighting setup to shooting all of our images, happened within the span of five minutes. Remember, you can do a lot in five minutes. Slow yourself down when you're in a time crunch to allow your knowledge and experience to take over. Questions and More! None of the above images went through Photoshop, just a couple quick clicks in Lightroom. - Lightroom Preset Used: [Visual Flow Mood]( - Lighting Techniques Used: [Lighting 101]( If you have questions, hop into our Facebook Group via the button below and let me know! - Pye [Unsubscribe]( | Sent by SLR Lounge LLC 1173 WARNER AVE • Tustin, California • 92780
