Dani Diamond is famous for her portrait work, especially natural light work. But of course, he also works with artificial light and in this great video tutorial he’ll show you how to set up a light and how he modifies it to create a professional portrait. Karma.
Coming to you from Dani Diamond with V-flat world, this helpful video tutorial will show you how to create better portrait lighting using a single light. As you’ll see, Diamond dramatically adjusts and shapes the light, but this is actually a really important thing to learn and work with. Many newer photographers assume that creating a setup just revolves around adding more lights until the desired look is achieved. And while it’s certainly true that many looks require or at least benefit from multiple lights, most of the time it’s not additional lights, but some careful modification to alter the quality, position, position and spread of light existing light. Not only will this save you the effort (and often the cost) of more complex setups, but it will also make you a better lighting technician.
