Studio lighting notes





  • Turn off all the lights of the studio classroom in order for the professional lights to give out the best effective and to do its job. Having the studio/classroom lights off as it will effect the white balance in the photo
  • On each light there is a dial ranging from the numbers 1-6
  • 1 is the lowest setting (lowest amount of flash) and 6 is the strongest setting (highest amount of flash)
  • Each light is set to number 3
  • If you adjust the height of the light and it is over the shoulder height make sure you put sandbags on each stand of the light
  • Softbox - evenly spreads the light
  • Diffusion - on the light/screen - softens the light (natural light - its a piece of material)
  • Have the model 5-6 feet away from the backdrop
  • Key light  - the main source of light given out
  • Fill light - Fills in the contrast
  • Hairline light  - Put the light on the back of the model/separate the model from the background/not to blend in/add dimension/light is placed behind the model's shoulder/head
  • Drop levels of light (1-6)
  • Reflectors - bounce light
  • White bounces off  light
