Lighting - Black On Black

Dior. Portrait of a lady. Elegance. You wouldn’t think you could achieve these styles of shots on a small budget in minimal time, but Sue shows us how a bit of craftiness and a lot of inspiration goes a long way in this Black on Black shoot with beautiful client and mother of two, Meghan. Professional studio photographer Felix Kunze joins Sue for a lighting tutorial to teach us about working with the Kino Flo, and sticks around to learn from Sue about posing women, natural light, and DIY Dior.


Key Things to Take Away:

What do you do what the light goes away? What do you do if you want to shoot later in the day, what do you do if your studio has no natural light, what do you do if you’re shooting in winter, what do you do if you live in a country that doesn’t have much sun light, or it’s cloudy, or it’s stormy? What do you do if you have to shoot in a space that has no natural light?
Two options: 1. Constant light with Keno Flow, what it looks like when you shoot with it, how to set it up and how to use it, what the photos look like shooting with it / camera settings using it. And 2. Where to direct the light so it’s not too hot on the face and to “wrap the light around”.
