Studio Lighting


Here I'll be sharing some of my experience on using studio lighting. Its a simple tips on mastering the essentials & techniques of studio lighting and styling. Hope you all will benefit from it. :)




There are a few basics that you should know before starting the lesson. 1st you must know what are the basic studio lighting equipment. Here is just a small list:

  1. Backdrop
  2. Continuous Light and Strobes
  3. Light Shaping Tools
The backdrop is very essential as in portraiture shots, you would not want the backdrop to be too disturbing. This mainly is because the portrait which is the object should be the main topic. We would not want the background to steal the lime light of it right? You want people to one look at your picture will be drawn to the portrait and not the background.

The backdrop that we usually use is either black or white in colour. If you could not find any of these 2 to be your backdrop, try to make use of your 'bokeh' and try to blur of you background as much as possible unless the background plays an important part to bring out your subject.
I will break down this studio lighting part to many many small parts which are important.
