Effective portrait lighting is a combination of the right tools and refined technique. In Part One of this lesson, we demonstrated how, with a few simple tools, the photographer was able to fine-tune the lighting to achieve the desired result. By using a single light source, the Photoflex OctoDome nxt Kit, and a few simple light modifiers, we were able to control both the light on the subject and the light on the background simultaneously.

In this lesson we will demonstrate how to employ another light source in order to give our portrait a bit more style. First, we will discuss how to further adjust the main light. Then we will add a second light source, which will serve to separate the subject from the background and create a more three-dimensional quality in the image. One of the key tools stressed in this lesson is the Accessory Grids for the 3 foot OctoDome nxt.
