📸 Full-Body Photography Lighting Techniques: Are you struggling with getting even, flattering light for your full-body portraits? You’re not alone! In this video, we break down the key fundamentals of full-body lighting that every photographer should know to achieve professional results in the studio.
We’ll start the video with a 27.5-inch Octabox to demonstrate how light placement and distance can make or break your full-body shots. Learn how the inverse square law affects exposure, ensuring even lighting from head to toe.
Next, we introduce the Elinchrom Litemotiv 120cm softbox, showing how larger modifiers help create soft, flattering light that’s perfect for full-body portraits. See the difference compared to smaller modifiers and understand how it can elevate your studio work.
We’ll also cover how choosing the right modifier for kicker or edge lighting can dramatically change the overall feel of your images. Whether you use a small reflector or a strip softbox, these insights will help you create more refined, professional-looking portraits.
This tutorial is packed with actionable tips for photographers who want to take their full-body lighting skills to the next level. Say goodbye to harsh shadows and uneven lighting, and hello to beautifully lit portraits! 🚀
