Of course there are some who aren\u2019t all that interested in photographing human subjects, but there are many more who might avoid serious attempts at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lightstalking.com\/andy-lim-guides\/\">portrait<\/a> photography due to a perception that associated challenges aren\u2019t really worth their time, money, and effort. This mindset usually presumes complex, expensive lighting setups that require substantial floorspace. Even if such a setup is typical of many professional portrait photographers, it is by no means the only pathway to great portraits.<\/p>\n<p>One light. It\u2019s the perfect starting point, especially if you\u2019re a beginner. With one light you have a low cost, highly portable, space efficient, easy to manipulate lighting setup. A single light, properly situated and modified (if necessary) can be used to create stunning portraits that compromise absolutely nothing when it comes to visual impact.<\/p>\n<h2>What Are Your Light Source Options<\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re going to use a single light source, you may be wondering what exactly that source of light should be. You have several options, including but not limited to the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Speedlight<\/em> &#8211; A small, portable flash unit that can be used on-camera or off and runs on AA batteries.<\/li>\n<li><em>Studio strobe<\/em> &#8211; Typically larger and more powerful than a speedlight, a strobe runs on AC power so you\u2019ll plug it into a wall outlet or use a large battery pack.<\/li>\n<li><em>The sun<\/em> &#8211; The best single source of constant light, given you work at the right time of day.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A candle, a desk lamp, or a flashlight are also examples of possible \u2014 if somewhat impractical \u2014 light sources that, with a little ingenuity, can be employed in service of your portraiture.<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><a title=\"Untitled\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/photographybycolby\/12958316893\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7442\/12958316893_12d43181b8_z.jpg\" alt=\"Untitled\" width=\"640\" height=\"424\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nPhoto by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/photographybycolby\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Colby Stopa<\/a><\/div>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lightstalking.com\/best-light-modifiers\/\">Light Modifier Options<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>No matter what your light source is or how many lights you\u2019re using, modifying that light in some way is usually going to give better results.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Umbrella<\/em> &#8211; An umbrella is used to either soften or direct light and is commonly available in two types: white and silver. A white umbrella, sometimes referred to as a shoot-through umbrella, is used to soften the light of a speedlight or strobe. A silver umbrella is used to reflect the light of a speedlight or strobe.<\/li>\n<li><em>Reflector<\/em> &#8211; You will find reflectors in silver, gold, and white. Or you can use a large piece of foam core as a simple, low cost white reflector.<\/li>\n<li><em>Window<\/em> &#8211; If you\u2019re working indoors and using the sun as a light source, a window works as an excellent diffuser.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to Positioning the Light or Subject<\/h2>\n<p>There are numerous ways to arrange everything in a single light setup and it will all depend on the type of lighting you\u2019re using and what effect you\u2019re going for. With a speedlight or strobe, you can move them around to established the directionality of the light. If you\u2019re using a window, you will have to position your subject in relation to the light to achieve your desired effect. Once you\u2019ve established the key (main) lighting, all you need to do is place your modifier (if you\u2019re using one) for the finishing touch.<\/p>\n<p>Easier said than done, right?

If you feel the shadows are too intense, increase ISO and lower shutter speed.<\/li>\n<li>Beware of hotspots (usually occurring on the cheeks or forehead) where a patch of skin is over-exposed. Reposition your subject or try feathering the light to decrease its intensity in the affected area.<\/li>\n<li>Keep the light above your subject\u2019s eye line.<\/li>\n<li>Experiment with mixing an artificial light source with ambient light.<\/li>\n<li>Larger modifiers create softer light.<\/li>\n<li>Experiment with subject-light distance. Greater distance will produce more shadows.<\/li>\n<li>Use a reflector to reduce unwanted shadows.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>There\u2019s no reason to think that single light portraiture is just for novices. Many fashion photographers use a single light source (such as a beauty dish) in their work, underscoring the fact that this is a simple but highly effective approach to making portraits. You can do a lot with one light; the inherent challenges are relatively easy to overcome and the final results will impress.<\/p>\n<h2>More Resources<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/digital-photography-school.com\/one-light-portraits-simple-elegance\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">One Light Portraits: Simple Elegance<\/a> &#8211; Digital Photography School<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=iQxF80lpIV8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">One Light Portrait Setup<\/a> &#8211; Ed Verosky (video)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.digitalcameraworld.com\/2013\/10\/29\/photography-lights-made-simple-classic-one-light-portrait-setups-to-try-right-now\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Photography lights made simple: classic one light portrait setups to try right now<\/a> &#8211; Digital Camera World (free cheat sheet)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/photography.tutsplus.com\/tutorials\/10-ways-to-shoot-stunning-portraits-with-only-one-light--photo-3313\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">10 Ways to Shoot Stunning Portraits With Only One Light<\/a> &#8211; TutsPlus<\/p>\n<p><b>Inspiration<\/b><\/p>\n<div align=\"center\">\n<p>Photo by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/bcihan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Baris Cihan<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-223175\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lightstalking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/My-Happy-Valentine-2.jpg\" alt=\"My Happy Valentine\" width=\"457\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lightstalking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/My-Happy-Valentine-2.jpg 457w, https:\/\/www.lightstalking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/My-Happy-Valentine-2-214x300.jpg 214w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 457px) 100vw, 457px\" \/>Photo by Jason Devaun<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"You, My...\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/inorman\/2876978416\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/farm4.staticflickr.com\/3064\/2876978416_554b318547_z.jpg?zz=1\" alt=\"You, My...\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nPhoto by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/inorman\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ian Norman<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"150306-selfie-wide-angle-DSLR.jpg\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/zionfiction\/16727962206\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7621\/16727962206_139416e924_z.jpg\" alt=\"150306-selfie-wide-angle-DSLR.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nPhoto by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/zionfiction\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">r. nial bradshaw<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-223173\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lightstalking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Black-Rose-2.jpg\" alt=\"Black Rose\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lightstalking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Black-Rose-2.jpg 480w, https:\/\/www.lightstalking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Black-Rose-2-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/>Photo by Jason Devaun<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cPortrait lighting\u201d is an anxiety-inducing term for some photographers.
