Scott Kelby shares one of his favorite portrait lighting secrets from his class “Light It, Shoot It, Retouch It.” Watch how a single softbox setup creates gorgeous, soft light just by changing one thing — the angle. It’s all about feathering the light to let the softer edge of the beam wrap around your subject instead of hitting them head-on.

You’ll see the setup, camera angles, and final shot, plus a few quick tweaks in Lightroom to finish it off. Simple setup, big results — perfect for any portrait photographer who wants pro-looking light without a complicated gear list.
