Think in advance about which light you want to use for your fashion shoot. Will you work with daylight, flash or a combination of both? By deciding this beforehand, you can prepare better for the shoot and focus fully on your model during the shoot.
Developing a lighting setup in Set a light 3d
Match your lighting to the mood of your concept. Write down which light you want to work with and how you plan to approach it. If you work with flash units, think about how many you want to use and which light shapers. After this, you can make a sketch showing where you will place your lights and at what distance from your model. Do not make it too difficult for yourself, but start with a basic setup for your first shoots. The main thing is to know what your plan is and how you will achieve it. There are also software programmes, such as Set A Light 3D, that allow you to create different lighting setups before you enter the studio. In this programme, you can specify which lens and aperture you are working with, as well as which flash units and light shapers. You can also adjust the strength of the flash.
