How to Create a High Key Background and Rim Lights Using a Softbox

Creating a high key background and adding rim lights is a fantastic way to add a really professional touch to your images, but doing so can take three or four extra lights on top of whatever you are already using to light your subject, often making it particularly cumbersome. What if you could add the high key background and rim lights using just a single light? This fantastic video tutorial will show you how to do it. 

Coming to you from Lindsay Adler Photography, this awesome video tutorial will show you how to use a softbox to create a striking high key background and rim light all in one. What is particularly cool about this technique is that Adler actually gelled the softbox to create a teal rim light on the subject, but by overexposing it, the background itself appears white. The awesome part about this is that it saves you a ton of time and effort from having to set up multiple extra lights (and that is assuming you own all those lights in the first place), and it produces fantastic results without a ton of work. Check out the video above for the full rundown from Adler.
