Using 4 lights for a remote, live TV interview

[@MDigitalProductions]

Even 10 years later and plus more from your Indy Mogul days, you're giving us deep insight, love this!

[@bryceseifert]

Wow, I cannot believe it's been 10 years! Nice work on the lighting too :)

The lighting looks great! Really enjoyed hearing about your thought process behind the lights :)

I'm a simple man. I see Griffin, I click like.

Excellent primer, as always, Griffin!

10 years? ohw my! We are getting old :D

[@marin_real_estate_photography]

OK, I konow I am real late to the party, but I do like the lighting setup. I think the hair light is way too hot though. I think that putting a floor lamp or other practical on camera left would help "sell" the hair light. Otherwise, it all looks great. Thanks, Griffin.

Any plans for a sequel to Sriracha?

[@GriffinHammond]

It would be fun to revisit! If I ever have more time available.

Hey, Griffin may i ask the kelvin of the indoor light is it 2800k?

[@GriffinHammond]

Good question! I have the camera set to daylight, and start with the bi-color lights set to 5000K to roughly mimic the natural sunlight. But to give my fair-skinned face more color, a less washed-out look, I dial the lights down until it's an appropriate level of yellow/red tones. For this shoot, the key and fill lights were set to 3900K. Mind you, that might not be the Kelvin that's reaching my face-I'm using the wall as a bounce, and who knows what its color temperature is? The hair light is set to 2700K, its warmest option. And the accent light pointed at the artwork (Aputure 120d) is a daylight-colored light (6500K). I added a 3/4 CTO gel, which warms it up to approximately ~4000K. All that to say-there's no *correct* white balance/color temperature. Just dial in the colors to whatever achieves the look you want. I'm sure someone could look at this shot and say it's too yellow, too bright (not enough shadows for contrast), but it accomplishes the warmth and brightness I wanted.
