Overview

This video demonstrates a simple two-light setup for achieving a golden hour look in studio photography. The photographer uses a single bowl reflector and a cutter (v-flat) to shape the light and create a flattering portrait with warm tones and soft shadows. Another light with a warm colour gel tilted upwards to give an overall warm fill. The final result is a beautiful golden-lit portrait of a woman in traditional attire.
