The soft main light from above casts a lovely uniform light on the face which helps smooth texture. A large white reflector helps to subtly fill in any shadows, while still letting the directionality of the main light do the heavy lifting. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64bee4f8ed51b760fb6b6151/f3d11c67-c368-41f7-9760-ea237be3350c/Audrey_Vaughan_-23_2_SMALL.jpg Style Guides - Headshot Lighting Inspiration: Face - Make it stand out Frontal light + punchy reflector for some fill. The soft main light from above stays the same. A large curved silver reflector below the subject bounces more light up to fill in more shadow. This set up is more evenly lit from top to bottom, and creates a lovely curved catchlight in the bottom of the eye, creating a bit more sparkle. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64bee4f8ed51b760fb6b6151/63231905-e8c7-4c7e-8104-0d75d18314ce/Audrey_Vaughan_-117_2_SMALL.jpg Style Guides - Headshot Lighting Inspiration: Face - Make it stand out Rembrandt Lighting (side lighting) with no fill. A large light high and to the side of the subject divides the face between a brighter and half and a more shadowed half. This gives the image a more sculpted quality, while adding a little mood and drama. Also, by only lighting half of the face, it has a slimming effect which you may like. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64bee4f8ed51b760fb6b6151/38c784d3-b1b1-4e25-a1ca-296fbe457604/Audrey_Vaughan_-130_2_SMALL.jpg Style Guides - Headshot Lighting Inspiration: Face - Make it stand out Rembrandt Lighting (side lighting) with soft fill. Just like the previous example, you have a large light high and to the side of the subject. Here, we add a large bounce reflector to on the darker side of the face to lift up some on the shadows a little bit. You still get some of the sculpting quality you get from a directional light, but filling in the shadows softens the overall look. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64bee4f8ed51b760fb6b6151/e2ff838f-d325-416f-b061-a99bf246c12c/Audrey_Vaughan_-172_2_SMALL.jpg Style Guides - Headshot Lighting Inspiration: Face - Make it stand out Parallel strip boxes. Similar effect to the frontal light from above, this setup gives a very uniform light from top to bottom. Being directional lights from the side though, you get a little more shape in the nose and cheeks, as well as slightly more separation from the background. You also get a unique set of parallel catchlights in the eye. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64bee4f8ed51b760fb6b6151/0ff704b4-c5c7-4b66-bcba-ecde7707b9c4/Audrey_Vaughan_-219_2_SMALL.jpg Style Guides - Headshot Lighting Inspiration: Face - Make it stand out Angled strip boxes with some fill light from below. Similar effect to the parallel lights in Option E. I angle the strip boxes a bit, then fit in a reflector from below. Very even light across the face, with some of the shadows from below being filled in. An interesting angled catchlight in the eyes as well. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64bee4f8ed51b760fb6b6151/7c785205-3c95-492f-b22c-90eb066c5165/Audrey_Vaughan_-33_2_SMALL.jpg Style
