Portrait-3

 Two light portrait - 3

I like this lighting setup because you can shoot between the two light stands. I should have made the large light the fill light and the small light the main light, and I will do that if/when I use this setup in the future. The model here is Carley, one of my granddaughters.

Explanation: You want to start with a totally dark frame. In my small studio with the overhead light turned on, my camera set to ISO-100, shutter speed 1/160 and aperture at f/8, a test shot gives me a totally dark frame. So that’s the base exposure for my main light ISO-100, shutter speed 1/160 and aperture f/8. A third light could be added as a background light.
