This lesson will demonstrate situations where a subject is lit with an overhead light source and a Litedisc reflector, and explore options of what to do with the image once it's captured.
The Skylight Effect
After we had finished with the previous lesson's lighting set-up (see this lesson here: "Using LiteDiscs to Achieve Professional Results: I"), we decided to try a different approach.
Lighting from overhead is very common in fashion shots for women for several reasons. If the light source is large enough, a very soft light is created.
By contrast, lighting from the side can render unwanted shadows off the nose and far cheek. Lighting from the top also illuminates the hair more fully and renders cheekbones nicely.
