To follow up on my Beauty Photography Lighting Workshop at LACP, this is 1 of 4 short and sweet tutorials that I hope you enjoy.

These posts will cover use of Interfit Photographic lighting equipment. As you know, I am an Interfit Brand Ambassador. And just a note, as an Ambassador I try out, use, and post about their products, but I am not paid to do so. I stand by their products and love the equipment, as well as the company and the people behind the products.

Beauty Post 1: Triangle of Light

Although this is one of the last things we did in the workshop, I want to start with it to wet your whistle. THE TRIANGLE OF LIGHT  - This is one of my favorite lighting set-ups to achieve a beauty look with a little pop and amazing catchlights.
