| Butterfly Light - People I've Met by James Kendall |
Alternative names:
- Glamour Lighting
- Paramount Lighting
- Beauty Lighting
How to create it:
- Materials
- Main light: softbox, rifa light, or flood light
- optional: reflector for fill light
- Place your main light high above and in front of your subject. Make sure you are shooting with the camera between the subject and the main light.
- If you are using a reflector, place that anywhere under the subject's face so it is not seen in the frame.
