- Learn how to master the basics of lighting. Mark Cleghorn will show by using his clock and compass lighting technique how easy it is to create great images every time straight out of camera.
The clock and compass lighting method is quite simply lighting by numbers and this step by step guide makes it so easy to remember the direction of lighting and its effect it will have on the subject and the photograph. This technique can be applied studio flash, speedlites, strobes and continuous lighting.
We will show you results key, fill, accent, rim and background lights have on and how to use these to create soft, hard, feathered, split or beauty lighting. This knowledge of lighting is fundamental to all photographers from creating beautiful soft lit portraits to edgy hard lit fashion images. We also look at the effects of light modifiers and accessories play in creating the photograph.
One light for one job is the basis of Mark’s teaching and in this film we start by explaining the whole process with just one light. We then start to add a 2nd, 3rd and 4th light and still with the clock and compass technique show you the results and why and when to use them to create incredible images.

Very informative, thank you.
Very informative video. Thank yoU!
excellent!!
Thanks. I've watched the video several times and it's been very useful. This is designed for the model to be looking at the camera. But what if the model looks away, say at the 4 O'clock position? Should the lighting positions change accordingly?
thank you for the very very good video. having said that: Is 8 or 4 really the best position? not talking about the catchlight but the overall illumination of the face. the nose shadow is very dominant in 4 and 8 o clock. the darker cheek not yet really illuminated. of course the diagonal light gives the face a very 3dimensional impression but I would prefer 4:30 or 7:30 more?
I hope this isn't a bad question. But I am wondering why the fill light is at 5 o'clock and not 7 o'clock? Hey! Thanks.
What is the compass part?
Thanks
fantastic tutorial..but yku don t speak about how much power for every light how many stops difference between the fill the main etc..cause by just positioning the lights you will not achieve the desired effect.
What about power? I assume all the lights are set to the same output? I went to a few of Marks Classes about a thousand years ago and I think I remember him saying the the rim/hair light appear in picture a stop or 2 brighter, I cant remember if you stop down to compensate or not?
ua-cam.com/video/hdD1E-T4UKE/v-deo.html Ahhh... found it :) Thanks Mark for not leaving us high and dry :P
When you start to use a 2nd and 3rd light how is the % compared to the main light concidered as 100%?
Usuqlly start with an exposure of 1 stop less, but this all depends on how the flash is diffused, which direction the flash is pointed and the effect your trying to achieve
What`s the difference between 6 oclock fill light and 5 o`clock fill ?
