I’ve never really been a big fan of overhead lighting and some people really love it. Today I decided to try this top down/ overhead lighting setup.. let me know your thoughts!!
I use overhead a lot lately. move the overhead in front of the model to open up the racoon eye,, and if you still have racoon eyes your light might be too high. that is my humble experience. I already found out myself but still enjoy the video.
@@420sigmapower I find it fascinating. I thought if the light is closer to the model, that will make the contrast more prominent due to the inverse square law. But I also want to know.. are you saying I should have had her go even further away than the edge of the softbox?
@@Phloshop Dude you buy a big @ss softbox so you can put it further away. Here is what i do. i put the 165cm overhead umbrella above the model head (20cm to 30cm above head) than i start moving forward untill i get the contrast that i like (usually about 1 arm length from the edge of the umbrella is a good starting point for me). And if you "also" move to the side than you get loop-light or rembrandt. It is actually really simple once you tried it out. I am pretty sure you already figured it out yourself. I just shared my experience nothing more nothing less. have a nice day sir.
I know i tried a lot of lighting setups when i started and to this day i play around with modifiers and light positions etc.. Over time, you'd gravitate towards some setups naturally however, I have never considered a top down light because it creases unnecessary drama in my opinion.. today however, curiosity got the best of me lol

It's a good idea introducing a side light and a reflector. it makes the image look more flattering.

I've always wondered why you never shoot overhead lighting
