Soft Beauty Lighting - The Easy Way | Mark Wallace | Exploring Photography

Mark Wallace creates beautiful portraits in this episode using two umbrellas and a diffusion panel. Mark steps through the entire setup, showing you how to set up the key and kicker light, meter the scene, and adjust the position of the lights for maximum effect. Beautiful light doesn't have to be complicated - you can do this with simple tools in your home studio.
