Understanding lighting setups
will also help you to break down
and analyse how others have lit
images that you like. Catchlights
in the eye are the biggest give-
away as to how lighting has been
constructed – not only where
the light was placed, but what
modifiers were used (shape and
size gives that one away). So
next time you’re on the train or
walking past a poster, see if you
can work out exactly how that
image came about!Just for fun
