Tips and tricks
- Place the AD200PRO with the Softbox, roughly positioning your light source directly centred and above your subject’s face, aimed down approximately 45 degrees. For best results, ensure that the centre of the softbox pointed to your subject’s face.
- For the Traditional Clamshell lighting set up, position the Curved reflector under your subject’s chin, to produce flattering wrap-around fill light. It will also produce a unique curved catchlight in the eyes of your subject.
- Place the background meter or two away from your subject if possible, to prevent any shadows cast by the main light falling onto the background.
- For headshots, we recommend using a lens with a focal length of between 70mm and 135mm on a full-frame camera (or between 50mm and 100mm on a cropped sensor camera) for the most flattering results.
