Lighting Plans

The light set-up i will use when taking the images I will use on my magazine cover and contents page is the two light set up. The advantages of the two light set up is that it adds more light to the image, and prevents the models face from becoming shadowed on one side of their face. When the light reflects off the the umbrella and down onto the subject, the main light provides some light but the opposite side of the model can become shadowed, so by using another light and umbrella on the opposite side, not only does it brighten the image but it also prevents it becoming shadowed. 


I will be using the photo studio for two of my images, one with just 1 model, another with 4. It is important that the lighting looks professional as otherwise the images just won't look suitable. I want my images to resemble that of Kerrang magazine, and this will mean that I must ensure that the lighting is just right.
