Interview Lighting Part III - Book Lighting - Natural Look

Be sure to also check out the first two parts of our interview lighting series:

Quick lighting designs with LED Panels:

Soft Key Light:

Block, Bounce, Diffuse:

In this episode, I demo book lighting - a way to make very natural looking light. This works well when you have existing light and you want to keep it looking natural while also making sure the existing light doesn’t change and ruin an interview half way through!

Thanks to Litepanels for providing the Gemini and Astra 1x1 panel lights for this demonstration.
