Bold . Raw . Minimal - Harsh Lighting Technique

Harsh light testing in the studio with Jamie Verster. I wanted to take images that would typically be shot with a soft light and add my bold harsh lighting set up to them and see how I can make them POP!

I really love the crisp shadows and vibrant contrasty colours while still keeping the skin flattering.

This was achieved by bare bulb strobe straight onto the model. This strobe method usually scares some creatives away but when you know the little secretes it can lead to some great results!

I love how this kind of lighting really demands your attention and stands out from the typical ‘soft fashion’ lighting used in the industry.

Be sure to give Jamie a follow as she is an amazing PT, up and coming model and UGC creator!
