Recently I had the chance to teach some studio techniques to some photographers. Using my strobe studio lighting, I demonstrated the differences between one light vs. two can change how dramatic the lighting can get. Also, in where the light hits the subject can change it as well. We discussed how posing works with lighting and how using the two together can change the mood. The smallest details can completely change how we read a person in a photograph.

Colors, background choice, posing, and lighting choices can all affect how a photograph can be read. Understanding these methods can really improve how a photographer can make conscious choices on how a photograph will turn out. No matter what kind of lighting you use, you can learn to manipulate these to your benefit as a photographer. Learning how to direct people and pose them to read how you want them to will drastically change how they will be viewed. These are tools a photographer needs to really photograph people well.
