Did you know that you get two very different looking images depending on which side of your talent you're lighting from? Join me in today's episode, where I break down the difference between near and far side key, and explain why you might prefer one over the other if you're going for a cinematic-looking interview.
---
As usual, the diagram for this setup is on my Instagram, so make sure to check there if you're curious how I lit this with only one light!
And lastly, this next month I'll be breaking down my thoughts about all the parts of an interview on a biweekly basis, so be sure to follow me so you don't miss out!
