Studio Lighting

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!

Have a beautiful day!

Always,

  3. That'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

  4. you 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.....
    five 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....

  8. 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.

  13. 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.

  22. 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.
