Full Lighting Breakdown | High Aperture Portraits

Photographer ‪@IanSpanier‬ takes us behind the scenes for a deep dive into how he captures studio portraits using high apertures. This shoot is a revisit of a personal project photographing motorcycle riders in his living room. What started as a creative challenge became an exploration of lighting control, depth of field, and the power of reliable gear. Now, in a studio and armed with the powerful FJ800 and FJ400 II strobes, Ian shows us how he gets crisp, high-aperture portraits with consistent, controlled lighting.
