When it comes to lighting people keep pushing expensive studio lights for video and photography. Quite often I find you can get similar and occasionally better lighting using cheap household and work lights.

Most of us viewers are hobbyists or work for smaller independent studios. Knowing about the cheaper options like this is very helpful.

Thank you.

Interesting, thanks! Not so sure about the catchlights though with the IKEA setup!

I'm surprised you didn't mention this: what's the CRI on the IKEA cabinet light? CRI is critical for commercial work--but you knew that. Thanks.

The 5mm at the end do nothing, the 4m in the beginning can make a huge difference. A little disingenuous but I get if Tamron made you say it.

Amazing! What a great idea. I've been looking for a way to get some decent Headshot / Portrait lighting kit on the cheap.

so sad you can't get a $18 lens to make the pictures look this amazing!

Model after IKEA light: "Can I see the finished look?"
Patrick: "Sure, but it's actually Swedish..."😆

I've found myself looking for some ways to shoot photos of my knives that I make, but not for a lot of money. This is making me think I'll be hitting up Harbor Freight for their wide selection of small LED job lights. Good stuff!

Wow Patrick, this looks great, I might buy 1 or 2 (or 5, lol) of these. Very handy for video work too. to place in backgrounds etc.

The softbox makes her makeup more visible if that makes any sense. The Ikea lights are more attractive, which I didn't expect

Now test it using the actually 2500 dollar light not just a modelling light

If this was attached (Velcro/double sided taped) inside an appropriate size cardboard box with the end cut out and white cloth/tissue on the end to soften the light it might reduce hotspots and produce better catchlights...just a thought. You could use a similar approach and use higher wattage led standard light, using a different shaped box, with fabric to soften the light(DIY softbox).

Great but it your subject has in imperfection’s on their skin I doubt the light would be as useful. One of the benefits of a larger/defused light is it wraps around removing micro contrast.
