Studio Lighting Basics

http://cazillo.com/articles/37-photography/113-studio-lighting-basics.html
Everyone wants to learn studio lighting! It can be the pinnacle of photography: being able to control every nuance of a photograph from the quality of light to the person's pose. Control also requires the experience to create a good image. My video today I go over how to get started in studio photography with building your own lighting kit and some basic posing techniques I use on a regular basis.

For studio / portrait photography do you recommend the continuous lighting or would you recommend to use speed lights through the same setup (3 point lighting setup)?

@lallaboy1 I prefer strobe.

Hey greg, have you colour corrected this video at all, or do you ever colour correct?

[gregorycazillo]

@jon11259 I think I need to start balancing my videos. I've been in the habit of never doing it for photos but video is different.

[gregorycazillo]

@lepermessiah01 Thats the best part, you can buy it as you have a need or can afford it!
