It is essential to not only know what the different types of lighting available are, but how they are best used when aiming to create a specific look.

The most common lighting techniques that can be used to enhance your studio portrait photography are:

  • Split Lighting
  • Loop Lighting
  • Rembrandt Lighting
  • Butterfly Lighting
  • Broad Lighting
  • Short Lighting
  • Back Lighting
  • Natural Lighting
Portrait photography

Amongst professional photographers, it is a little known fact that one of the best studio portrait photography lighting techniques is the ability to make use of natural lighting. When you are looking to produce soft light to reflect off a subject indoors, having access to natural lighting that enters through a window is ideal. Not only is natural light the most inexpensive type of lighting available, but it can produce an effect that is similar to a softbox on a flash.

The wall of windows found on the interior of Ten Ton Studios professional portrait photography space is any photographer’s dream. Depending on the time of day that you choose to shoot, natural lighting can create a variety of effects on your photographs. When you’re looking to create a more dreamy, ethereal vibe for your images, opt for shooting an hour before sunrise or an hour after sunset.
