Topics Covered:
- Using a main light
- Adding a reflector fill light
- Using umbrellas as background lights
Equipment Used:
 Figure 1 |
Our large LiteDome with strobe served as the main light. |
 Figure 2 |
This is the result using only the LiteDome. |
 Figure 3 |
We used a 39 x 72" LitePanel Kit (white surface) as a fill for the shadow side of our model. |
 Figure 4 |
The LitePanel filled in the shadows nicely, bringing more definition to our shot. |
 Figure 5 |
An Adjustable Silver Umbrella was added for light to fall on the background and on our model as a separation light. |
 Figure 6 |
We have a new look with the background lit and a nice rim light adding even more dimension to the photo. |
 Figure 7 |
We added a second Adjustable Silver Umbrella to the right of the set to light the background and the model. |
 Figure 8 |
The separation light from the umbrellas produces a nice rim light as well as background light. The final lighting setup produces a rich, bright light to great result. |
