This is the first in an on going series of Videos that I will post showing how I light and create images. My goal is to not just show the behind the scenes of my work but to provide easy to follow instructions on how to create the lighting you see. No guessing or trying to figure it out. It is clear.
This is s simple 3 light Portrait lesson that shows the basics of a 3 light set up to photograph a person.
Part 2 will show how I use special effects and a couple of more lights to push the shot a little farther.

  • how many ISO did you used for this photo?

  • @lyanko12 I use ISO 160.

  • I have 2 questions for you Mr.Morgan: How do you keep the rim light from the umbrella flaring into the lens? Do you teach classes on lighting?

  • @ekwosi To keep the umbrella from creating a flair in the camera I turn it slightly away from the camera or add a flag. I am planning on doing a series of classes later this year. We will keep you posted.

  • 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 For still work I use strobes and for video I use continuous lighting. There are some great shooters out there using continuous lighting for stills. For me strobes are still the way to go.
