TOP TIPS SHOOTING COMPOSITES
Perfect the positioning, camera settings and lighting for a polished and
professional looking composite01
ARRANGE THE
BLOCKS
When shooting
for a composite
it’s often best to
take more than you
need, as you never
know which images
- or parts of images
- will be most useful
later on. Here
we took a series
of shots of the
blocks in different
positions to give us
plenty of options.
02
BALANCE THE
LIGHTING
A simple lighting
setup makes
for consistent
shadows, which
helps to bring it all
together later. In
our two-light setup,
the main key light
is positioned on the
left, and a second
fill is angled up and
bounced off the
ceiling, producing
a weaker light that
lifts the shadows.
