How to Improve Your Portrait Lighting With a Circle and Some String


Listen Later

In this episode I share a really cool, super simple trick that will definitely up your lighting game. And this trick is not just for beginners. In fact, there are times that I still use this trick even after more than 40 years of working with lighting. I call it the five-foot rule, actually, I hate rules, so let’s go with the five-foot guide.

You will hear me break down the step-by-step of this elegant portrait lighting arrangement and how easy it is to set up and work with.

Remember hat photographing people is 80 percent psychology and 20 percent photography, so you need to simplify the photography stuff as much as possible.
