Lighting can be a challenge to learn, and you might think you need complex multi-light setups to obtain professional results. And while there will always be a place for those, you might be surprised by what you can accomplish with just a single-light setup. This excellent video tutorial will show you five different lighting setups you can create with only a single light.
Coming to you from Cinecom.net, this great video tutorial will show you five separate lighting setups you can create using a single light (though the tutorial is geared toward video work, the concepts are very applicable to stills work as well). If you are new to lighting, these are great to learn. Not only are they more straightforward and easier to manage, I personally think when you are newer to lighting that it is important to start out with a single light, as this will allow you to more easily build an intuitive understanding of its behavior. Check out the video above for the full rundown.
