Portrait Lighting for Photography and Video!

28 27



Sign up for a free business coaching call with Jay P.:

There are several lighting positions that photographers have developed over the years. People like George Hurrell, who used tungsten to shoot stars, used these lighting positions. Learn to identify what a butterfly or Rembrandt light is. Knowing these positions, and where the light placed to create them, will help you see how photographers light their images. These are departure points from which you will create your own look and direction. Its hard to depart from someplace you have never been there. This will teach you the basics and give you a good foundation to build on.

This video is not as slick as some of the others we have done but it has great basic instructions on portrait lighting. (Don’t miss the ending, it’s the most exciting part!)

    Just love your lessons on light, found this channel recently, after askim myself a question: "Why the f.. didn't I search YT earlier?" After few years of shooting outdoors I came to the point where I wanted to start working with people and in overall I need to study an artificial light and what results I can get and your channel have small chunks of the informational essence, that I can check myself. And the ending was absolutely hilarious. No way I am going to forget this video anytime soon 😀 gotta watch other stuff, this one set the bar high 😀 cheers
