Description

Mastering your tools is only part of the process. What is most important that you fulfill your vision as an artist.
Knowing the principles of lighting will help you choose the right modifier for the desired look.
You can achieve the same look with different beauty dish sizes just by changing the distance from the subject.
A large umbrella can be a great source of light for lower cost.
Joel photographs a model with three different modifiers, starting with the beauty dish in this lesson, to compare the results each one produces.
The light modifier comparison continues with the 5 foot Octa.
The modifier comparison wraps up with a look at the 7 foot umbrella.
Using a three light setup Joel demonstrates how he produces a high key look.
Joel demonstrates a super clean beauty shot with three lights and a new model.
The three light setup is slightly modified to create a full body shot that could later be cut out of the background and used in a composite.
Joel starts by opening the photo as a smart object to maintain editing flexibility.
This is a technique designed to maintain detail in the skin.
