Fashion Photography Lighting-The Effect Of Distance and Light Source

May 8th, 2009

➢ The closer your light modifier is to your model, the broader/softer your light will be. The farther away, the more direct/harsher your light will be. An umbrella will yield more contrast than a soft box.

    I guess the other thing to add about the SB vs umbrella comparison is that the umbrella splatters light all over the place….. while the SB is a little better in this respect, and the light fall off is more even… just my humble observation.

    Jason I just want to know you have absolutely made my day. I feel in love with photography about a year ago and havent stopped shooting yet recently ive come to a roadblock. I just feel that I am getting to the point that I really want to reach the next level of photography yet I realize I have not acquired enough knowledge about lighting, angles… well as I think about it any bit of information that would help my composition. I found your blog today at 1 pm and it is now 5 and I have not stopped reading. I just want to say thank you for going to the time posting all these blogs of what I can really say is the most valuable information I have found on the internet.

    Thanks again comrad

    Hi Trey ! First let me apologize for such a late reply. I have been on vacation and just needed to “get away from it all” I got back and have been shooting alot and I finally can sit down and update my blog. :-)
    I want to thank you so much for your kind words. I love to hear that I inspire other photographers. It has been my pleasure to offer all the information within my blog. If you ever have any questions or comments please don’t hesitate to ask away !
    I also offer private photography work shops which you can read more about here http://jasonchristopher.com/workshop.htm
    After two days of intense learning and shooting everyone has come out with a wealth of information and understanding.
    Thank you Trey. Hope to see more of you here.
