- Here are four portrait photography lighting setups you should know. Of course, there are plenty of others (see my other videos on various lighting setups), but let's focus on these 1-, 2-, and 3-light setups. This will include the standard portrait lighting setup with one-light; the 45/45. Then we'll talk about the traditional key and fill lighting setup, my cross-lighting setup, and the three point lighting setup.

No special effects, no stunts, no practical jokes, just the basic stuff. It's photography we're talking here. Straight to the point, thanks for that.
Best Training Style ..... You make complicated instructions simple and easy to comprehend for people like me who are slow learners!! keep it up. THANKS
That was very basic but so helpful.. Thanks!
Glad you liked it!
Brilliant video, simple and easily understood instructions followed by some highly motivating and great confidence boosting words. Thank you.
Thanks, Mark! Yup, I'm a big believer in just doing something, sticking to the challenge... ultimately, you'll see a breakthrough.
Very common issues. Thanks for these tips. I will definitely keep these in mind.
Very helpful video. Thanks
Great "No nonsense " tutorial as always
Personally, I am your fan and I really love your video about photography lighting setups!
You made lighting a subject very easy to understand, thank you!
Thanks, George!
Your video is very useful. I like how you explain things in a very simple and basic ways. Easily understood for beginners.
Chiaro, conciso. Ti seguo con i sottotitoli ma ti spieghi in modo semplice e comprensibile. Vai al sodo. Grazie.
Prego!
thank you so much you help me to understand alot i appreciate it, big hello from Morocco
Your videos are so informative and well presented! You’re a great and encouraging teacher!!
Thanks so much, Christina!
Great video. . And a very good point about just trying things out, and doing it over and over. Really sound advice, that isn't telling people exactly what to do, but giving them the tools to go out and play with lighting! I do it always and I'm learning every time.
Thanks, Stoney. Same with me. I mean, I've done plenty of methodical testing of lighting principles and know how to do precision work, but even that proves the point. Most of my first attempts were less than stellar; it was a stubborn drive that got me past the tipping point. Telling someone exactly how to do something isn't as helpful as showing them, then saying, "dig deep" and find your way through it.
Yet another informative video... looking forward to practicing the 3 light setup! Thanks Ed! ☺
Thanks, Marc! The link for the video for the 3-light setup is in the description. Enjoy!
Thanks Ed, I have three lights and went through each of your steps. Easy to follow and great stuff
This is great information. And thank you for an easy explanation!
Very nice tutorial
Thanks, Ed, for another informative video. This is good foundational info, and I'm sure many will find it helpful, as I did. I'm sure that on other videos you get more involved with technical stuff [lighting ratios, etc] but this one is great to encourage the new starters to "just go take pictures." Can I make only one suggestion, and that would be to advise folks to have their fill light as close to the camera as possible to avoid crossed lighting on the face. Keep up the good work.
Thanks, John. You'll be okay with fill light close to the subject as long as it's not too bright and large enough.
Great video,and more importantly inspirational.
Great tips!!! I just started to do portrait photography and I have watch your other videos as far as 1 lighting and such. Your videos are great especially showing the examples of what you are talking about gives me a better visual. Thanks again!
fred coker - Thanks, Fred!
SUPER ,CONGRATULATIONS,***

Thank you for this video. Just acquired a basic 3 light soft box setup, and will be trying your techniques for use on my You Tube channel. I want to get the 3 point lighting down before progressing into green screen techniques.
Sounds good. Green screen took me a few tries but some good video tutorials put me on the right track. Let me know how it goes.
I will. In the meantime, I have lots of videos to watch by you. Learning a lot from you. Thanks again. :)
very well explained, thanks sir.
Very informative Ed, thanks!
+chaile2111 - thank you!
Well explained!
Thank you, Jasmine!
HELLO SIR, U r really very nice info shared and i will follow u also sharing yr work which will be useful to many guys .. keep it up yr knowledge is great
+Nay Joshi - Thanks, Nay!
I need one soft box with a boom stand that will reach at least 79 inches can you recommend ?
Great video, simple good for beginners, however there should have been some mention on ratios. This is basically why and how key and fill works, otherwise folks will use their fill as strong as their key light and they may end up with a flat image. Or better still as I teach my students to turn on a single light at a time and work to get the light they want then turn it off and move to the next and repeat until they have worked through all the lights. Always think and look for shaping the face with light (key) and shadow (fill).
+Jon Miller - Thanks, John. I do make a quick mention ratios in the video. But I suggest tweaking the fill “to your liking” as an alternative. Using a light meter and applying specific ratios are definitely important in some situations, especially when trying to maintain consistency across shoots, and when communicating about a setup. A great tool for is film photographers, too.
Hi Ed, I just found your channel the other day and have found your content really helpful! With the three point light set up, I have 2 speed lights. Would continous light work for the 3rd/ hair light? Thank for all of your insightful info!
Yes, you can always mix your lighting, but you'd have to use set your exposure settings accordingly. In this situation, this usually, this means a strong enough light or a slower shutter speed.
what picture style do you frequently use?
I don't use picture styles per se; I keep things mostly neutral or faithful. Shooting Raw, I make actual adjustments in LR.
...this guy is really awsome...i never been seen someone like him on youtube when it comes to explaining, giving photography tips...he always delivers his words with an easy to do instructions...i really like Ed Verosky i learn tones of things from this guy...long live Ed!
