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?
