What is the best lighting for male models?
I’m planning on shooting some male models, which i have never done before.
I mainly tend to deal with women/ beauty shoots and since I’m a guy i tend to notice that when i use paramount or butterfly lighting, it accentuates certain things guys dont care too much for, who would have thought huh lol.
Anyway i want to be able to compliment the bodies of my models yet create stunning lighting for the face. Are there any techniques/ setups that are used frequently? If so have any links or photos of this to show as an example?
What kind of lighting is used on those big make up mirrors?
I actually want to build one for my personal use, i think they look really nice, and are helpful when appliying make up or other products on your face. My question is what kind of lighting is used for these mirrors. I know its not fluorescent ones… so if you guys could help me that would be appreciated.
