To followup on my Beauty Photography Lighting Workshop at LACP, this is 2 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 2: ClamShell Lighting

Clamshell lighting is the foolproof beauty lighting 101.  One light centered from above the subject and a second light source below. Here we are simply using a reflector.

Lens: Canon 70-200mm f/2.8 L series

Settings: ISO:100, 1/180th @ f/5.6

Using a reflector to bounce the light creates fill and still allows for some shadow under the chin, which flatters most subjects. Here I make use of 1 Interfit S1 Monolight strobe with 1 Beauty dish.  These S1, 500w HSS AC/DC powered strobes are only $749.99 currently down from $999 a unit, already half the price of the competitors. Use my discount code for an extra 10% off EMERY10

Here's some BTS of the set-up
