Creating Soft Portrait Lighting with Scott Kelby

World-renowned photography educator Scott Kelby delivers a great sports portrait photography lesson from the KelbyOne studio. Here, he uses two Westcott Spiderlite TD6s modified by a Shallow Softbox and Stripbank to perfectly illuminate his subject. These two lights create beautiful clamshell style beauty lighting.

This video is part of a series of must-see photography how to videos by KelbyOne. Over 60 hours of content like this is available for free with the purchase of Westcott's Spiderlite TD6 Softbox & Stripbank Kit.

Thank you for sharing your video Scott you explained it very well as you do also in your book's. The technique looks very simple with excellent images with the lighting

You could use the Westcott Eyelighter in place of the low soft box. I love it and I don't work for Westcott. Check it out. Very cool.

Check your edit on the video because the close ups you showed weren't the shots you actually took in the 2nd and 3rd lighting set up. In fact the 2nd & 3rd closeup were the exact same shot. Definitely not the under lit shots you took.

Здорово. Хорошая лаконичная инструкция. Спасибо.

Why you dont shoot at 3meters offre your modèle?

Not to be over critical, but what about the big hotspot in the middle of her forehead in the first shots?

This just isn't fair, how could you take a bad picture of her.

Good ideas but mediocre results... While the lighting is simple indeed..., it is also very flat and boring.
