Three Ways to Light a Corner Portrait: Take and Make Great Photography with Gavin Hoey

Corners are the perfect place to shoot portraits and compared to a flat wall they have a number of hidden advantages. From a models point of view, a corner opens up extra posing options. For the viewer a corner adds a feeling of 3D to our two dimensional medium. And photographers get the opportunity to play with light bouncing off two surfaces at once.

In this video Gavin Hoey will show you how to set up three simple lighting styles that maximise the usefulness of a corner. Working in his small home studio, Gavin creates soft light, hard light and symmetrical lighting with just one flash. All he needs is a Octobox, Strip Box, a grid and an empty corner to work in.
