The darkside of light

When you follow my blog you will probably already know that I love the more high contrast lighting setups…
Now some people might think that you can only setup lights like that from one position or with 1 look, and trust me nothing is less true. When you start to move around your subject (and this can be little steps) you will quickly find out that you can control your contrast and look of the images. This is a very simple technique with huge results. Today some samples from this technique I shot with Cherelle during one of our workshops. The light setup is actually exactly the same in all shots (believe it or not :-))

    Hello Frank, I am a college photography student and had a photo shoot today, would just like to say thank you because I got a lot of inspiration from your lighting setups, this especially. using just the one light made the job alot simpler but still with amazing outcomes.

      Hi,
      Follow the shadows and it should be pretty easy 😀
      It’s one strobe from the back of the model aimed forward, so it’s a sort of side lighting.
