Studio Lighting
Why Those AI Studio Setup Guides Are Setting You Up to Fail
I’ve spent twenty years building studio setups and teaching photographers how to light subjects properly. In the last six months, I’ve noticed something troubling: my inbox fills with questions from photographers who’ve built studios based on AI-generated diagrams, and almost every one of them is fighting with something that doesn’t work. The diagrams look fantastic. They’re rendered in clean 3D, they have professional labels, they show modifiers positioned at precise angles.
