Most beginners think better portraits need more lights. They don't.
Nearly every portrait in my portfolio — including work for Fendi, Lancôme, and Mont Blanc — starts with a single light and one decision about where to put it. This guide hands you that decision, already made.
Inside you'll find the exact one-light setup I teach in my in-person sessions: light placement, modifier choices, distance and power, and the camera settings to start from. Each setup comes with a diagram and a finished image, so you can see the cause and the effect side by side.
