What's up creatives! In this video I'm giving you some tips on lighting for youtube videos in small spaces! Lighting a small room is not much different than lighting a large room, the concepts are very similar. If you choose the best angle and utilize the small space to your advantage you can get an incredible result.

This is the perfect video! Living in a small apartment, lighting has always been an issue that I encounter! You’re so close to 100k Ben! I can’t wait for you to reach that milestone!

The lighting of a room can totally change the dynamic of a video and create the *illusion* that a space is a lot bigger than it actually is.

So true! Lighting is an illusion a lot of times. I like that!

Your content really helped me in getting everything just under my budget ( with my first income from youtube) without spending huge amount of money on expensive systems.

I have watched too many videos on lighting that did not help me one bit, because they did not show the placement of the lights the way you did. So this is by far, the most instructive video I have seen on this topic. Thank you so much. I think I will be able to up my game after viewing this video.

Thanks from the UK Ben where we need all the lighting help we can get. Love you first point about positioning the subject at the forefront of the room ; counter intuitive but so effective. Focal length is what I always think of, until now….I think of depth…thank you.
