Mastering a One Light Setup: Easily Create STUNNING Colorful Portraits

Pick yourself up Aputure’s new STORM 80c here: https://aputure.com/products/storm-80c

Today, we’re diving into lighting, which, in my opinion, is the most essential part of photography (aside from the camera, of course). For this shoot, I’m using just ONE light, and we’re going to see how adjusting the color, temperature, and saturation can totally transform the mood and feel of your photo. I ended up creating three unique looks with the STORM 80c, each with its own vibe and style. I love walking away from a shoot with a variety of shots that each bring something different. Hopefully, by the end of this tutorial, you’ll pick up some new tips and tricks to try out on your next portrait shoot!!
