I am looking for any lighting tips (amateur photography) for shooting clothing on models? |
I am just starting in Photography and one area i am trying out is fashion photography for catalogues and publication. I am not schooled in lighting and would like to find out tips and tricks on how to get good all round light and eliminate shadows on the photos. Sometime I will be shooting outdoors and sometimes on location. The thing with fashion photography is to blast the models with light. That usually consists of two highpowered lights, one on each side of the model about 45 degrees between them and you. Feather the lights across the face to blow out any shadows. The lights should be at roughly a 30 degree angle from their forehead (imagine there is a perpendicular line coming out of their head and one creating a plane at their forehead... the 30 degrees is between those two lines). This will create a nice high cheekbone feel on the models and eliminate harsh shadows on the clothes while still proving a somewhat depth of field to whatever appearel they are wearing. You can also add a fill light (an umbrella light) directly to the side of you (about an arms lenght) that is 1 - 1 1/2 stops lower than the two main lights. This will eliminate all shadows on the clothing and provide a flat, but well lit product. Source(s): High Impact Portrait Photography http://www.amherstmedia.com/miva/merchan...
