Tonight I did a lighting demo at Wakefield Camera Club and took along Maddy, sporting a new redhead look, as the model. I kept things simple and showed a lighting set up that can be easily achieved with a couple of speedlights at home – basically a big light source to the front of the model and a small light source to act as a rim light and seperate Maddy’s hair from the background. The beauty of using Maddy as a model is that she is confident and needs little direction, so even the most novice photographer should get a great portrait shot.
