Lighting setup for Wristwatch reviews on Youtube? Hi peeps I’m looking for advice on creating an artificial lighting setup so that I can produce wristwatch review vids at night instead of during the day, in a fully controlled setup.

Using Flash under Tungsten Lighting?

( www.reddit.com )

Using Flash under Tungsten Lighting? Hi guys! Im relatively new to film photography and will soon be getting a Px flash to use with my Minolta x700. Now, I’m aware that tungsten-specific films (800T) should be used to balance the light from tungsten lighting, but what I’m not sure about is – does LED lighting then appear the same as usual on tungsten film, or is that then unbalance…

What lighting equipment should I use for outdoor night portrait photography? Hi there! I’d like to play with light when doing outdoor portraits on a rainy night, lighting the face with different colours from different sides and playing with contour light or background colour lighting, maybe smoke. I’m mostly using a Sony a6600 + Sigma 56mm F1.4, so you know it’s all pretty budget hobby stuff, nothing professional. I was …

Recommendations of lighting for a hairstylist? Hey! I’m looking for lighting recommendations as the nights are dark in the UK! I saw the attached light recommended by another hairstylist but it appears to be discontinued.

How to achieve lighting like this?

( www.reddit.com )

How to achieve lighting like this? I’ve got one rough theory; 1 large rectangular soft box, directly above the subject, creating that stark foreground to background gradient. The subject is also distanced well away from the background. For lighting the subject, the soft shadows trailing behind the subject would suggest something like one large soft box (with grid) at a slight an…

What do we think the lighting breakdown for this shot looks like? Hey all! First time poster here, long time lurker. Wondering if any lighting experts out there could give me their opinion on how this shot may have been lit in studio. The shot is clearly backlit but the front of the objects are quite bright which makes me think that there was some sort of intense fill light. I’m wondering how the photographe…

Lighting debacle?

Lighting debacle? I need your thoughts on my lighting debacle. I currently have a ring light, but it is not ideal. It is kind of in my way when drawing. I’m so confused with all the lighting options, from soft lights to light panels. I’m just looking for something simple. Ugh, or maybe it is my layout. submitted by /u/oneclutteredsoul
