You want your subject to be in a space where both lights meet, as the softest light will be in this area. Next, take a moment to make sure your subject is in the sweet spot of light, because if they’re in front or behind the focus point, they’ll have strange shadows on the frame. Point the center of the left light towards the camera’s right shoulder and the right light towards the left shoulder of the camera, instead of the face. The feathering in a parallel setup is pretty easy to do. This is important because shedding will create a soft, pleasant light, while directing the light directly at your subject will result in harsher highlights and shadows. Coverage is achieved by not directing the light directly at the subject, but instead tilting it so that only the edge of the light hits their face. The most important thing is to secure the lamp feathers. The first thing we want to do is place each light about 12 inches in front of our subject and as close together as possible without the lights obscuring the subject’s shoulder. In our first setup, we’ll create an even, flattering light, with no harsh shadows on the face. And, because it’s pretty simple to do, it’s perfect for those just starting to familiarize themselves with their way around the studio. It works well for all ages, genders and also for companies, actors, models and other types of clients. There are many reasons to love a parallel lighting system, but the biggest benefit is that it produces even, flattering light without heavy shadows. Although I use Westcott Peter Hurley Flex Kit, the same result can be achieved using a strobe light and a 1′ x 3′ strip box. Parallel lighting is a two-light setup where one light is placed on each side of your subject, parallel to each other and perpendicular to the ground. In this tutorial, I’ll show you three simple parallel lighting tricks to create portraits that everyone from the boardroom to Broadway will love.
