    Learning studio lighting patterns for portraits isn't an essential skill but using them a a starting point for your photo shoot is a great idea both for experienced and beginner photographers. Of all the lighting patterns you could try, Rembrandt lighting is one of the most timeless and popular. In this video Gavin Hoey walks you through exactly how it's done with clear and simple instructions.
    Gavin also covers the potential pitfalls of Rembrandt lighting and demonstrates just how quickly the look you've so carefully crafted can simply disappear. He goes on to show how Rembrandt light can be created with hard light, in profile portraits and with soft light.

      Beth and I have worked on many Adorama TV videos so she knows the drill. Plus I do a hilarious stand up comedy routine, the effect of which you can see at 4:04 😁

    Nicely done. There was one short side shot at 8:51 he goes out on that really tells you _why_ people like Rembrandt lighting. Just gorgeous. It's also valuable to say it doesn't always come off, and it's super valuable to say turn the room lights off or down. Lots of people learning lighting don't realize that on their own and struggle until they do.

    Thanks Gavin, a great lesson to get perfect Rembrant Lighting. 40yrs ago I learnt this from NYI by correspondence learning. Also, how to place the shadow under the nose when doing this type of Lighting. When the main light is correctly placed, this shadow will travel diagonally from the bottom of the nose to the outer edge of the lips. You have done this without saying it. That's the way I was taught. Thanks again.

    Hallo Gavin, another great tutorial from you, thanks for that. There are a lot of great photographer out there but either they’re speaking to fast or they’re mumbling. I’m german and I’ve never been in the U.K. nor U.S, so english is an foreign language form me. I like your style and your pronunciation is always understandable. It’s always a pleasure to watch your videos. Thank you very much for your work and all the best for you.
