Hello my friends!
I wanted to share a bit about studio lighting with you.
My hubby bought me My First Studio Lighting. It comes with 2 lights and all the accessories needed.
It so perfect but, sound like one of my sons toy sets. I laughed when I saw the name.
There are many amazing deals out there, check online, we bought ours from Sammys!
I recently shot this celebrity home for my friend the super talented Janette Mallory!
I love Five for Fighting! I love their music! It made it even more fun to shoot!
However amazing the vision of a photographer may be, however sharp their lens and regardless of the number
of pixels on their camera’s sensor, the shot can only succeed if the lighting is right.
This home was shot during the day
but, when you have so much color you want the colors to show richness!
Studio lighting will help you achieve that.
This is without lighting and you can see the colors look faded.
It is a small investment but the possibilities are endless, and it
does not limit you to only have to shoot in natural light.
Studio lighting is so easy to work with and is wonderful when creating portraits
as well. More on that later. It can give your subject a beautiful even glow.
All you need to do is make sure your subjects or vignettes are evenly lit!
These two images are my favorite!
I love how rich the color is. Janette has some
serious skills!
If you have any questions feel free to email me!
More fun stuff coming soon!
Have a beautiful day!
Always,
You are so right, lighting is key.
ReplyDeleteThat, and composition.
With those two, you can conquer the world! :-)
What beautiful pictures.....I'm not a fancy photographer...just have a small digital but the lighting you use makes ALL the difference. WOW!!!
ReplyDeleteThat's quite a difference in the two bedroom shots, with and without lighting. Great illustration of the importance of good lighting! Even armed with knowledge I don't shoot great shots. Best regards, Connie
ReplyDeleteyou are so cool Lulu.......i love your outlook on life and the encouragement you give others and it IS all about the lighting...but it really comes from within.....
ReplyDeletefive for fighting is such a good band...and this new decor is just what i would have expected: clean, a little bold, and a mix of both old and new...and a bit moody....
Where did you purchase your stuido lighting set? I am in the market and a bit overwhelmed with the options.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the encouragement and the information. Lovely images. ♥olive
ReplyDeleteYes...I can see the difference ... really great photos! Thanks for sharing all your tips!

Oh, you are so right about lighting. I know it's trendy right now to "not use a flash" however, I love the clarity that great lighting can bring. My flash broke this week and I am lost. I am blogging these horrible photos for now til my new one arrives. This post is inspiring me to make some more equipment investments.
ReplyDelete~*~* What a cool opportunity for you!! You are very talented!~*~Hugs,Rachel~*~
ReplyDeleteI didnt realize at all about the lighting. thanks for the tip. Gorgeous images
ReplyDeleteWOW! thanks for this! check out my blog and you will be able to see that I am not ver good with lighting! Thanks for the tips!
ReplyDeleteJen
You are so lucky to get that wonderful equipment! Love the colors, brown walls are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteHave a blessed day, hugs!
Thanks for the heads up! I am going to look into that. Not that I am a photographer, but it really makes it hard to work around natural light all the time for taking pictures, this might be a good investment for me.
ReplyDeletecongrats on your new awesome "toy"! cant wait to see what you do with it! however your pictures are always beautiful! xo
ReplyDeleteHave fun playing with you new toy! I know you will and can't wait to see what you can do with it! Hugs-Diana

Lulu, You can really tell the difference good lighting makes in the two bedroom shots. It would be great if you could show us where you set up the lights in a room. Your photos are beautiful.
