Thanks Gavin, a great lesson to get perfect Rembrant Lighting. 40yrs ago I learnt this from NYI by correspondence learning. Also, how to place the shadow under the nose when doing this type of Lighting. When the main light is correctly placed, this shadow will travel diagonally from the bottom of the nose to the outer edge of the lips. You have done this without saying it. That's the way I was taught. Thanks again.

Rembrandt lighting, also known as 45, is a lighting standard. Split lighting, loop lighting, butterfly, etc., all these standards of lighting should be known as basics for all professional portraiture photographers. These are your foundations of fundimental lighting. When you light your model, you should aspire to "put people in their BEST LIGHT," -as the old saying goes. You should work to hide peoples flaws, and bring out their most flattering features. This is done through lighting and model positioning. -This may seem like a no brainier, but you'd be surprised at how often people can be poorly represented in their photos. 😲😩😝 So, I'd say, LIGHTING IS VERY IMPORTANT. Keep the flaws in the shadows. Knowing these basics separates the pros from the amateurs. And your work WILL reflect that. Tip: It's often fun to watch old Hollywood movies. These guys were masters at lighting, and it's just fun to call out the lighting name when you see it. Also, once you have your lighting standards down pat, you can start playing around with lighting ratios. Happy shooting.📸🙋♀️

Nicely done. There was one short side shot at 8:51 he goes out on that really tells you _why_ people like Rembrandt lighting. Just gorgeous. It's also valuable to say it doesn't always come off, and it's super valuable to say turn the room lights off or down. Lots of people learning lighting don't realize that on their own and struggle until they do.

Gavin, I have to tease you a bit. Look up "Rembrandt van Rijn" (e.g. Google. 1606-1675) and look how many of the Dutch Golden Age painter's portraits actually have Rembrandt light. Rembrandt used it sparingly. It is also interesting to see how painters before Rembrandt already worked the concept (called chiaroscuro - light and dark, but Rembrandt IMO was the first to really turn "low key", contrasty, moody.) Leonardo da Vinci, El Greco (the flame-lit portraits), Caravaggio, Frans Hals and Velázquez all had at least a couple portraits that remind us of "Rembrandt light". The term was coined in 1915 by Cecil DeMille when financier Goldwyn critiqued his work as not going to make money because of the moody lighting. DeMille: but this is Rembrandt light. Goldwyn: oh, then people will be prepared to pay twice the price. Now tell that to Daniel Norton who is always joking about reasons to ask more money for his work.

@phlotographer4 жыл бұрын
Have read a few of the comments. However, Split lighting is normally done at a lower level of light and also provides light in the shadow side eye. The intonation almost makes "loop/modified butterfly" seem to be something inferior. However, unlike Rembrandt lighting which is almost impossible to create without a modelling light, it is relatively easy to create modified butterfly using no modelling light which is generally available with small electronic flashes. A couple of other things noticeable particularly the first time at the area of 5:25 when turning the subjects face toward the right (photographers left) is the facial view is well past a correct 2/3 view and thus the subjects nose becomes elongated and not exactly attractive. With this subject, it is very noticeable and not a facial view that a subject later would appreciate. Also, without direction, the subject makes use of hands that sometimes show the palms which don't show hands to their best. Ideally, the hand closest to the camera is known as the "show hand". This subject does generally show the edge of the hand but non models likely will more often show the back of the hand which is just marginally better than the palm and generally should be avoided. Now of course this was a tutorial related to Rembrandt lighting but the position of the model is square to the camera which is not ideal whereas a body position of either turned to the left or right of the camera in a 2/3 body position provides a nicer look to the subjects body. HTH
