How I Lit This Classic Male Portrait: Studio Lighting Techniques Explained

Описание: In this week’s video, I break down how I lit this classic male portrait of model Jeff Brosy during a workshop I was teaching in Portland. Learn how I designed the set, used each of the lights and flags to sculpt the scene, and captured the image at f/1.2 to achieve stunning depth and character.
