Recently, I read a post on the Alamy forum about photographic lighting. Hmmm…what an excellent category for the Photography and Marketing blog! Since Alamy provided inspiration the images in this post are from my Alamy stock photography collection, if you are interested in using any of these images for your creative projects and would like to know licensing information, please Contact Us. There are a total of 6 examples with diagrams in this post.

Generally I like to keep lighting as simple as possible, here are some various examples of setups using 1, 2 and 3 lights. Examples with softbox, umbrellas, grids, gobo (go between), or no light modifiers. In my opinion the key to lighting is to see what you have to start with and then modify it to achieve your goal.

Commercial Photography Lighting Techniques: Example 1

A soft box is an excellent tool for providing soft even directional light, very similar to a large window in a dark room » More Commercial Photography Lighting Techniques
