Group Lighting: The Only Setup You Actually Need
Group Lighting: The Only Setup You Actually Need I’ve lit hundreds of group portraits, and I can tell you with certainty: most photographers overcomplicate this. They add lights like they’re seasoning a dish without tasting it first. The result is muddy, unflattering light that makes everyone look tired. The truth is simpler. You need three lights. Not five. Not seven. Three. The Core Formula: Key, Fill, Separation I treat group lighting like a recipe because it is one.
