"How To Build" Studio Portrait Lighting

A quick slideshow of how I Build my Studio Lighting setup for doing Portrait Photography.

Most of the time everyone throws on all their lights @ once which leaves room for the unknown.

Perhaps you have Hotspots or that unwanted look, Take a look @ this clip and give it a try. Let me know how it went.

Hope it helps!
