Lighting Setups


I am working on a new project. I believe there are 10 lighting setups that every photographer should know instinctively, and be able to pull from their bag and reproduce when necessary. Sometimes you get a chance and a reason to get all creative and create a lighting masterpiece. And sometimes you have to get something lit. In those situations it is imperative that lighting doesn't come as an afterthought, or be hastily assembled. There are some elegant ways to achieve lighting that charm, delight, and bring life to situations that could have been mundane.

Here is a link
to four fun examples including a movie and a Photoshop Post-Process video. If you would like a copy of the Photoshop lighting diagram in layers, drop me a line and I will email it to you.
