With the background lighting set, add the model and key light to continue building the gelled key and fill setup. Test through a series of exposures examining what a key light (without a gel) does to the model and environment. Observe as photographer, Jake Hicks, captures a variety of exposures, adjusting lighting intensity, positioning in relationship to the model and background - highlighting common mistakes that he encounters in the Key Light setup. Hear Jake's philosophy on treating the background lighting and key lighting for the model like separate sets. After a series of examples, add the key light gel and iterate through test captures to achieve the key light setup.
Building step by step, add the third and final light to the gelled key and fill look. In this scenario, the background, key, and fill light are all colored gel lights. With the addition of the fill, work to mirror the lighting of the key, using a small silver umbrella. Learn to balance the fill l...
With multiple images captured, transition to a new wardrobe and work to hone pose and story within the color gel key and fill lighting setup. Watch as photographer, Jake Hicks, teaches how to troubleshoot unwanted halos appearing around the model. Continue to iterate through multiple captures cre...
In this section, work with an entirely new wardrobe and gels to create a whole new key and fill look. Use a new triadic color scheme with three primary colors. Continue to apply all of the principles and practice gained through the method of colored gel photography. Push post and composition to c...
