Mastering 3 Light Fashion Photography The Ultimate Setup

🎯 Mastering 3-Light Fashion Photography | Studio Lighting Setup Tutorial

In this video, I break down my go-to 3-light portrait lighting setup—the same one I use in most of my fashion photography and studio headshot sessions. Whether you’re new to studio photography lighting or looking to level up your current setup, this tutorial will show you exactly how I light my subjects for clean, high-end results.

⚡️ We’ll go over each light in detail:

My key light with a 48" octabox

A subtle fill light to control contrast

A kicker light (aka rim light) for edge separation

Plus, a silver reflector to add that finishing touch

This flexible and reliable studio portrait lighting setup is ideal for: ✔️ Fashion photography lighting
✔️ Headshot photography
✔️ Editorial and beauty portraits
✔️ Full-length or seated studio work

📷 I also share tips on gear choices (including AC vs. battery strobes), light positioning, and how to adapt this setup for different subjects and shooting styles.

Whether you're working in a home studio or a professional space, this fashion lighting setup will help you create polished, dynamic images with just three lights.
