In this behind the scenes look, I transform a bland studio space into a vibrant, editorial-style setting using RGB continuous lights.

💡Lighting (8 light setup including the lamp)
While I used a whopping 7 lights for this setup, you definitely do not have to. You can use as little as 1 light (pavotube or other with a gel for example) to transform your "boring" location into something more interesting. As you see in the video, each light had a specific purpose and I built the lighting one by one as I noticed areas that could be improved. So it's completely optional with how many lights you can get away with!
1) Main Light: Nanlite 60B with a projection attachment for shaping light on the subject's face.
2) Fill Light: Nanlite Pavo Slim 120, providing a blue tone wash across the scene.
3) Background Light: Practical lamp behind the subject for depth and warmth.
4) Additional Light: Nanlite 60C behind a door with glass, set to a warm color to add interest.
5) Rim Light: Nanlite 60C with a projection attachment for lighting the subject's hair.
6) Separation Light: Nanlite Pavo Tube behind the subject for added depth and color.
7) Dress Highlight: Pavo Tube to enhance the sparkle on the dress.
8) Body Separation: Pavo Tube for additional separation on the subject's right side.
