Using Soft Light for Dramatic Results / Woman on neutral background

For many fashion and portrait shots, it is necessary to use several different light sources to get good results.

It is not uncommon to have a main light, a fill light, a hair light, and one or two background lights.

However, sometimes a great shot can be created using just one diffused light source.

This lesson outlines the basics for lighting full-length fashion shots, and illustrates how to drop out the background naturally using lighting ratios.
