Male Portraiture: One Light One Umbrella

In this film Mark Cleghorn is back in studio, shooting with the new Male Model to the Academy, Jabez. Today, this is all about the one light, one umbrella, shooting with a shoot through umbrella on a very simple white background, a white wall, white posing boxes, a model, and a white shirt. This style of shoot is ideal for the influencer style of shoot, shooting as if the model were to be on the front cover of a magazine or a double page spread in a leaflet.

The background used within this video is a black and white checkered flooring bought from a local fabric shop.

This one is shot simple with one light, an overhead parabolic umberella that illuminates the image and gives a specular light to Marks subject.
