Money Making Lighting Setups: Photographing Men | Inside Fashion and Beauty Photography w/ Lindsay
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 лип 2024
- If you are only photographing female subjects then you are missing out on a big part of the photographic market! While I specialize in beauty photography and most often photograph women, much of my commercial work involves male subjects. I’ve photographed professional athletes, executive portraits, and fashion lookbooks- all with male subjects!
In this video, I show you the 3 lighting setups that help me make money when photographing men; headshots, commercial fashion, and athlete portraits.
Let’s take a look.
Headshots (1-3 lights):
Main Light: 3ft octabox
Rim Light: 1x4ft strip softbox
Background light: 10 or 20-degree grid
Commercial Fashion/Lookbook (1-2 lights):
Main light: Large umbrella with diffusion
Fill: White V-Flat
Athlete Portraits (3 lights):
Main Light: White Beauty Dish (with and without grid)
Rim lights: 2 1x4ft strip softboxes
Remember, for any of these setups you can swap out modifiers if you wish to change the quality of light. For example, for the men’s headshot, you could use a beauty dish as the main light if you wanted a bit more contrast and sculpting. Your background choice will also mark a big difference to the final result. A brown/beige background (Savage Universal Beige or Pecan) is a great choice for bringing out skin tones and creating a welcoming result.

THANKS SO MUCH FOR WATCHING! - Навчання та стиль
I love the way you explain things. Everything just makes sense. I say you're a genius. Best gift in photography.
Awesome!! Good refresher course. Kudos to Lindsay, Adorama, and her team. Thank you for having the class.

Thanks a lot
This was phenomenal as always 😊 Lindsay never fails!! 👏👏👏
One of the best tutorials I've ever seen, amazing work
Great video Lindsay! All the setups and resulting shots are definitely money making if people follow your suggestions. Thanks!
Excellent. As ever, the "trick" is knowing what look you're after and why. The lighting and other tech aspects fall into line from there. For whatever reason it remains unsaid but I imagine a basic shot list is part of any "recipe."
Fantastic as usual learning all the time thank you.
Really good stuff. Actual information and examples. Bravo
great tutorial! thank you Lindsay
Well I just love learning and sitting in class from the masters!!

Best Guidence
Great !
are these with strobe or continuous lighting? I see he's lit up while your talking but I also see a flash?
I love your work! You are PERFECTION! Im the Sony guy from uruguay ❤️🔥 that email you 🙌🏻
great stuff - is that a fan on the floor in gret - ive been struggling to find a decent powerful fan thats not huge and bulky or costs the price of a holdiday to the carribean
Hi Lindsay, a question: I use the RF 24-105 F4L as my main studio lens as well (RF 50mm 1.2 and RF 135mm 1.8 for outside the studio setting). What would you say is the widest you are comfortable with for shooting a full body shot, without having too much distortion in the body? I have a lot of space to back up at the moment, so I can even shoot full body at 135mm, but my near-future home studio will be a lot smaller...
It is hard to say, but I think I am usually around 50-63mm but I definitely have some purposefully dramatic shots much wider. Check the 15-35mm wide angle video I did last year. Id say probably usually around 35mm as widest
What specific color is the warm background? Please and thank you!
Very informative and inspiring. What editing software are you using?
CaptureOne
Very informative video! I am curious, how many feet away from the background did you position the model?
It depends but usually 6-8ft. it does depend though.
Please help is she shooting with external flash I can’t see the set up for this there!
I'll be coming out with an on location class probably in q4 of 2023 which will cover using external flash. :)
Lindsay, your background light stand, how tall is it and which brand do you have?
Appreciate you and your videos.
Does it matter if the rim light touches the nose during portraits and headshots?
It doesn't bother me personally but ive heard people say otherwise.
are you using blower for the the shoot with action
Hi! Love your videos. Whats the editing program you use?
Thanks so much for your education! I have white and black seamless and want to add gray and a skin tone. Which would you recommend? I've heard you speak of Fashion Gray. And for the skin tone, which of Mocha, Pecan, Beige, Egg Nog? Appreciate your input!
Fashion Gray is my go-to and most versatile. I also use Thunder Gray often as well. For skin tones I typically use their general 'beige' but it largely depends on what I'm shooting. I have a variety of them for that reason.
@@lindsayadlerphoto Thank you! I appreciate your reply!
Which app you using for that mam...i mean that colour grading with direct camera
in the 3' octa, how far was it from the subject?
In your class, are the videos downloadable?
How far was the model from the background?
Nice but those pictures are retouched ! That’s not the raw files !
There is NO ONE like Lindsay Adler...No one.
Please STOP using a white background when showing your images, the pupil of our eye is on auto so it shuts down with all that screen light making the image lose contrast ....
I'll be sure to do that lol. 🙄
