Improve your portrait photography lighting techniques. In this tutorial I show you how to create separation lighting in your photos by creating contrast between your model and the background using two different techniques. In this video I show you how to setup your lighting equipment, what camera settings were used and helpful diagrams so you can practice these lighting setups in your own home.

A new year, a new season of my portrait lighting tutorials. To start this year off we take a small step back and take another look at the basics of your key lighting and go over 3 easy different looks you can get from just one light and a reflector. These new lighting tutorials go further in depth then the tutorials in season 1 did and have better lighting diagrams and explanations. Hope everyone enjoys them.
