Photographic Lighting Made Simple! DSLR 3 Light Portrait Lesson Part One
by Jay P. Morgan Photography
This is the first in an on going series of Videos that I will post showing how I light and create images. My goal is to not just show the behind the scenes of my work but to provide easy to follow instructions on how to create the lighting you see. No guessing or trying to figure it out. It is clear.
This is s simple 3 light Portrait lesson that shows the basics of a 3 light set up to photograph a person.
Part 2 will show how I use special effects and a couple of more lights to push the shot a little farther.

ياخي انت فنان
great video JP!
who is this homo holding the skin trumpet?
I like the video shown from above. Gives me a much better idea of light placement.
hhh love it first look O_O lol
yes mam. when you do penny stock trading get good suggestions from professionals is the wise idea. i am telling you, These professionals are being with us always to guide us to choose and trade in proper way. rush it here -> bit.ly/13C4mA8?=xhuixs
the sax dude smiles like a girl and the music realy bad good tips !
studio lighting system always four flashes !
It now has one more!
when you are using an umbrella as a rim light and facing toward the camera, how or do you not have to use a block of some type to obscure light form coning into the lens?
The music was annoying but I liked the video
nice saxophonist LOL
good job man !!
The rim umbrella is pointed at the subject.The head is pointed at the umbrella. If the head is close to the umbrella it will not spill out and light the background. If the head is to far form the background then it will spill out and put unwanted light on the background.
.mp4 hehe
The speed rings that the octodome hooks to can get hot after shooting for a bit and when you are on set moving a lot of equipment, it is nice to some good gloves on for better grip.
Someone teach that guy how to hold a Sax. Please!
nice video
Very well done. Marking for future use!
this helped me a lot..I use my lighting to record music videos..but this has shown me another side to lighting~
@lyanko12 I use ISO 160.
how many ISO did you used for this photo?
@ekwosi To keep the umbrella from creating a flair in the camera I turn it slightly away from the camera or add a flag. I am planning on doing a series of classes later this year. We will keep you posted.
I have 2 questions for you Mr.Morgan: How do you keep the rim light from the umbrella flaring into the lens? Do you teach classes on lighting?
@lallaboy1 For still work I use strobes and for video I use continuous lighting. There are some great shooters out there using continuous lighting for stills. For me strobes are still the way to go.
For studio / portrait photography do you recommend the continuous lighting or would you recommend to use speed lights through the same setup (3 point lighting setup)?
The BEST I've seen — and I've seen Many!! I will be using this for an upcoming photo shoot. It has a somewhat 'glamourous' look without over-doing it..
This is the best video for learning about lighting. The camera moves around, letting us see the various setup and also the comparison of the photos taken with different lighting. Thank you so much.
LOVE THE MUSIC!!!!
Good stuff!!! Bravo
Agreed..this is a killer start to a great series of vids…shame..
Hope you guys get more going soon!
