Every photographer starting out with artificial light should work exclusively with a single strobe until they are comfortable with the basics of lighting, but once you feel like you are ready to move on to more advanced setups, the first step, of course, is to add a second light, which opens up a wide range of creative possibilities. This fantastic video tutorial will show you three different ways to use that second light for portrait work to expand your creative palette.
Coming to you from Gavin Hoey with Adorama TV, this awesome video tutorial will show you three different ways to use a second light for portrait work. The important thing to remember if you are new to working with artificial light is that there is no need to rush into multi-light setups. You can create professional-level images with a single light, and doing so will give you a better foundation and understanding of the properties of light, giving you improved creative and technical control when you do move on to more complex setups. Check out the video above for the full rundown from Hoey.
