Studio lighting needn't be difficult and lighting a black or dark coloured background is a great place to start. In this video I'll show you a few of my favourite Head & shoulder lighting set ups that use just one light.

Hey Gavin! This has been the first video about lighting that has actually been of any use to me! I am a complete N00b when it comes to studio photography. I dont have the patience to read books so youtube is my main source of info. If you could do more "studio" based videos that would be amazing. Possibly an "idiots guide" to setting a basic studio + lighting up.

I tried this using my Interfit ex150 studio lights with the modeling light at 100%, but it was very dark and had to use 40th f/4 to get a usable image. I'm guessing it is because they are low power?

@icelilly123 I sed Auto WHite Balance and adjust the coulour cast in Adobe Camera RAW. A reference shot of my grey card is always taken at the start of the shoot.
