Portrait Lighting for Photography and Video
by Jay P. Morgan Photography

There are several lighting positions that photographers have developed over the years. People like George Hurrell, who used tungsten to shoot stars, used these lighting positions. Learn to identify what a butterfly or Rembrandt light is. Knowing these positions, and where the light placed to create them, will help you see how photographers light their images. These are departure points from which you will create your own look and direction. Its hard to depart from someplace you have never been there. This will teach you the basics and give you a good foundation to build on.

This video is not as slick as some of the others we have done but it has great basic instructions on portrait lighting. (Don't miss the ending its the most exciting part!)

    I have watched a million videos and read a ton of books, but for some reason nobody explains it as easy and simple. Thank you so much. Easy rules, keep it simple, explain it well, and have fun. Why do so many make it so complicated. Oh and for all of you who only watch and read, STOP and start shooting!!!! THEN come back and continue your education :-) As for the model, and to add to everyone elses comments, have FUN in what you are doing.

    when you do butterfly lighting should the sync cable be plugged into the soft box even thought it is up high?
