How-To Create a Cinematic Portrait With Hard Light

In this video I breakdown my lighting setup for a recent shoot with Allee-Sutton where I created a beam of light on her face to create drama and interest. Check out the video to see how I did it!

This shot was a 3 light setup as follows:

Key light - Paul C. Buff Digibee with barn doors to flag the light. To create the crisp shadow on Allee’s face I also had a @vflatworld v-flat that I purposely didn’t close all the way so there was a gap that created a shadow with a hard edge.

Rim/Hair Light - Another Digibee with a gridded strip box and a blue gel.

Background Light - Yet another Digibee with a snoot and a blue gel on a Savage Universal fashion gray seamless.

Check out the video for a more detailed explanation of the whole setup, and if you want to learn how to create more shots like this, join me this September for my NEXT LEVEL Lighting Workshop in Los Angeles.
