Lighting

Recreating 1930's Glamour/3

ESSAY BY FALCON

So, imagine that you are working in a small room, and, no

sooner do you manage to get the lighting right, when the

model wants to change locations. You try to convince her

that changing locations isn't easy. In fact, you will have

to go through the process of determining how to light the

room again. By the time you do that, most of the time left

to shoot will be gone. But, no matter what you do, you

can't change her mind. Reluctantly, you agree.

In this edition of "Lighting the Un-lightable," we're going

to look at two problems: First, how can you light a small

room effectively, and second, how can you move lighting

from one room to another without starting from scratch.
