    Principles of artificial lighting


    Why use artificial light?
    Lack of adequate natural light
    Take control of the light
    Make a photograph; dont just take it.

    Shooting with artificial light is like:

    Sculpting with LIGHT

    Basic goal of artificial lighting


    Bring out the 3D quality of the subject(s)
    By
    enhancing
    the
    highlights
    and
    shadows
    as
    produced
    under
    natural
    light
    By
    revealing
    surface

    Steps in preparing lighting setup


    1. Decide on general effect
    visualize; determine type/direction/angle of light

    2. Add the key light(s)


    - create dominant set of highlight & shadows

    3. Place the fill lights


    - Adjust light ratio to obtain desired effect

    4. Separate subject from background


    - Add background light
    - Subject should not be close to background (min 3 feet)
    - Lights should not interfere with the model

    5. Make final adjustments


    - take sample shot, analyze and readjust
    - look out for unwanted highlights/shadows, catch lights, reflections

    BACKLIGHT adding a light source behind your


    subject creates a halo effect, defining the
    subjects shape.
    Position a light
    behind your
    model and
    point it at the
    backdrop

    Have a strong
    light directed
    at your
    models back

    Exposure in studio lighting


    The best ways to control exposure in the studio
    set-up:
    1. The power of the light
    2. Aperture of the lens
    3. ISO setting

    You want to keep your shutter speed as fast as


    possible so that your focus is sharp. There is
    no background to take focus away, so any
    mistakes and your audience will notice!
