DON'T BE AFRAID
TO EXPERIMNT.
Play with lighting and try new techniques. Learning new lighting is one of the quickest ways to grow as a photographer and be able to produce a wide variety of photos.
HAVE A PLAN FOR
YOUR LIGHTING.
Lighting is just as important as the other elements of a shoot, like location or styling. Having a plan for your lighting can ease stress the day of the shoot.
LESS IS OFTEN MORE.
Don’t overcomplicate your lighting. Make sure each piece of lighting equipment you’re adding to a shoot is making the image better.
THE MOOD OF THE LIGHTING SHOULD MATCH THE MOOD
OF THE SHOOT.
Lighting is a powerful tool in photography for its ability to convey emotion. Make sure the lighting and styling align with the shoot’s message.
KNOW YOUR LIGHTING GEAR.
Every modifier creates a different lighting pattern, and knowing what a particular modifier can and can’t do is key to a successful shoot.
