Photographer Scott Nathan demonstrates a white out fashion lighting setup.

This set up just goes to show that fashion photography is as far removed from amateur photography as F1 driving is from everyday driving.

Thanks for the tip Scott.

You can see the finished images of the products on the Urban Decay Cosmetics website. Product is called Pocket Rocket. I can't post a link here.

Hope you enjoy!

I love Benny Hill! But what did you do with all of the set up?

So where's the sample image for all the work that went into the set up?

Here's another tip. If you meter a 1 to 1.3 stop variable between the subjects back (facing the wall) and the subjects face (facing the key light), you will achieve a perfect whiteout, regardless of skin tone.

I'm sure there was a lot of good information there. Too bad we have to guess at the why and how.

I named every piece of equipment. I showed it's lighting diagram. I also showed the distances between the light sources and subject. The only thing I didn't articulate were the ratios between all the light sources. Let me know if you have other questions.

Yeah but at least they played the Bennie Hill theme over and over!
