If you don't have a 2nd light for the rim light, a reflector will work. Move it closer or farther away to adjust the amount of light as you would by adjusting the power of a 2nd light. And choose white or silver (or even some other color if you want to add a color to it) to adjust the amount of rim light as you would adjusting the power. And for the shot with 2 lights shot into a white background, if you only have one light and/or don't have a background but you have a white floor (could buy what's called tile board that may be cheaper than a white seamless background) or to go super cheap, cover the floor with sheets of printer paper (yes, you'll have to clone out some edges of sheets of paper) and bounce the light off the ceiling.

Amazing video! 🔥🔥🔥Just 2 questions. 1: in your next video can you explain a little more about the lights you use? I'm still learning about all the different kinds of lights the difference between them. 2: after you go over all your favorite light setups, can you do one specifically with color leds and / or color strobes? Ty!! 🙏🏾

@NathanElson 9 ай бұрын

The lighting I use is the AD600Pro heads. Best bang for your buck on the market. As for color leds, maybe, I don't tend to do a lot of mixed color work :)

@photofervorphotography4997 6 ай бұрын

Tremendous - enjoyed seeing - in the rim light set up is the key light gridded as there appears little light from it on the backdrop

@NathanElson 5 ай бұрын

Nope, I don't use grids, it's just in how you angle the lighting.

I really like the results of the 4 setups you did. I want to try them all and I will try to use cheaper light modifiers, it would be nice if you could specify the flash power in each setup. Thank you, this clip is accurate, creative and you can learn small things. 🖤🙌🏼

@NathanElson 9 ай бұрын

Flash power varies depending on modifier and its distance from the model, but it's typically metered to f/8 in the studio.

Hey Nathan. What’s the difference between wraparound lighting vs. rim lighting? Is it the position of the fill light?

I get that comment a lot, and I've even had my assistants on set ask me about it, but the light is out of frame, so it never flares on me.

Hey Nathan, love your videos and the info you share. How do you avoid flare into the lens when the umbrella is facing you (last setup)?

@NathanElson 9 ай бұрын

I typically shoot 85mm and the umbrella is off to the side far enough that it doesn't fire into the lens.

@uwetrenkner9716 9 ай бұрын

Thank you for another beneficial lighting video again. I will try to find this sweet spot in those two umbrellas to the backlighting. Haven't paid attention to it so far. Why are you using an umbrella for the rim lighting in the last scenario? I always go with my striplight with a grid to avoid spilling in any direction. Using an umbrella seems to me way more tricky. What is the advantage?

@NathanElson 9 ай бұрын

The way I position the umbrella makes it so that I don't have to worry about spill, and umbrellas are so much more portable.
