Dollar Store Creative Lighting | Inside Fashion and Beauty with Lindsay Adler

- You can get creative with lighting using props from the dollar store! In this video, I’ll show you how I use a combination of hard light, cheap props, and shadows for striking results.
When I make a trip to the local dollar store, I am frequently looking for items I can use to cast unusual patterns on my subject. I look for things like strainers, vases, baskets, translucent platters, you name it! The idea is that the object must allow some light to pass through it in order to potentially cast an intriguing shadow.
The next part of the equation is hard light! For this, you can either use natural light (direct sunlight) or artificial light (studio strobe, speed light, or flashlight). The key is that the light is small and far away from the subject, creating the hardest shadow edges possible. For this video, I use a single strobe (a Profoto D2 with zoom reflector) far away from my subject for very crisp shadows and hard light.
The final ingredient is to bring your prop close to the subject. The closer it is to the subject, the more defined the shadow edges will be!
It's all about experimenting with simple inexpensive tools that are reimagined in a creative way!

THANKS SO MUCH FOR WATCHING!
Kudos to Lindsay, her team, and Adorama for great videos.
Glad this pop again. Thanks
Awesome job. Thanks for the video!
All good ideas! Thank you Lindsay and Adorama! 🙏🙏🙏🏵️🏵️🏵️🏵️🏵️
Very cool ideas. I noticed, too, that when the colander was moved further away, you did lose the hard shadows, but it reminded me of the shadows you get with rain on a window. Lots of options to try out. Thanks.
OOOOh cool idea!
A pro, as always and knows her stuff. SO glad you're here, Lindsay...thanks so much for making this simple and demonstrated/explained with video and commentary. You're the best!!
Awwww thank you for the love!! xo
super cool ideas.
So cool. Always a pleasure learning from you Lindsay 👍🏾👍🏾
Thanks for watching, commenting and giving love!
@@lindsayadlerphoto I just watched this video again…what’s the boom you’re using? I’ve been looking for a solid boom for my lights. Thank you.
I love the dollar store for gobos. Thanks for posting this and i love your energy in these videos
Its all 5 hour energy! lol Kidding (mostly). Glad you enjoyed it!
Whoa for the dollar store! I've purchased other items there for doing creative photography...I must try these also. Thanks!
My pleasure!!
Have a good day. Everyone productions
Ideas. 😊
Thank you Lindsay for this creative video! ❤
another tip and tricks added in bag! thanks Lindsey.
the one i used in my Profile is a ceiling fan lighting fixture.
oh that's awesome.
I genuinely never thought of trying this but now i certainly will. Thank you so much :)
One time at the dollar store I picked up a car windshield solar shield which serves as a great silver reflector. Some cardboard or foam core to give it a stiff backing is perfect for making a big silvery bounce card.
Always informative, good job and thanks in advance!
Thank you so much, Lindsay. I'll be trying this tip this weekend! So cool. :-)
Wow...I had never considered this. Very cool!
fantastic as always Lindsay!!! loved how these low cost props can help to generate so amazing images... bravo
Brilliant Adorama!
great info
😂😂😂 I bought those same 2 items to do the exact same thing😂😂 love it!!!!
Thanks a lot Lindsay :-) for showing us the creative use of simple things most of us already have in the kitchen, you are great inspiration :-). I sometimes also use small mirrors to make a special effects together with a polarising filter, to control the reflective effect in the picture.
That was quite nice :)
Great content. Love how simply you made it.
Adorama this is 🔥🔥🔥
We Love You Adorama!💙💙💙
This video is Dope!🔥🔥🔥

P E A C E !
Thanks for the tips to make this technique work better. Saving myself a trip to the Dollar Store, I found my kitchen cabinets are a great source of similar props. Wife even helped me with suggestions. 😁 Thank you-you're adding more and more fun into Phuntography! You can quote me on that. 😊 ⭐x5
Love this! Super creative!
love this very helpful!
These are awesome
Here is one trick I use. Shoot through bubble wrap, the one with the one inch air cells. Add a colored jell and instant colored textured background. I get tons of this bubble wrap when I order my used camera gear and the shipping department at the store is insane about stuffing the box with this stuff.
Ohhh this is dope! Great job Lindsay
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it!
A future project of mine.
Nice session..!
What brand of strainer do you prefer? Does Profoto or Westcott make one? :) Thanks for all the brilliant ideas. 🙏🏽
hahahahaha. :P
Never thought about this! Great idea and I will definitely give this a try. Thanks Lindsay.
I need to buy a hard light... Lol. I just tried to create a fake doorway shadow with soft boxes, even without diffusers, that's a big nope 😆 Learning
👏👏👏
Is stuff like this how you came up with the optical spot?
It s possibile make It with a single cobra flash?
You need to use a smaller light source to get a crisp edge. A studio light is too large. I use a 5mm LED light and I don't need to place the gobo near the face
Do what 1000 other Photographers done before .......
SHE TALKS SO MUCH.. good stuff though...
lol
She is succinct and doesn’t use um or ah. She is an excellent presenter.
