The Five Lighting Patterns Every Studio Photographer Needs to Know Cold
The Problem With Winging It Early in my career, I could set up a beauty dish and get something that looked decent. But decent doesn’t book repeat clients. What I couldn’t do was look at a reference image, identify exactly what lighting pattern was used, and replicate it consistently. I’d move lights by feel, get lucky, and have no idea what I’d actually done. Then the next client would walk in and I’d start guessing all over again.
