The interplay of light and shadow, the subtle dance of reflections, and the transformative power of post-processing—these are the elements that elevate a photograph from a mere image to a captivating narrative. In the realm of fashion photography, where creativity knows no bounds, achieving a high-contrast editorial look can be a game-changer. It's about crafting a visual story that is both dramatic and visually arresting, and it's a technique that, once mastered, can unlock a new dimension in your photographic journey.

 

In this video photographer, Ab Sesay not only talks about his lighting techniques for this shoot of a model parachuting down onto an NYC rooftop. Or should we say seemingly parachuting down? He also discusses why he made his creative choices as well. He takes you on an in-depth look at the thoughts and choices that go into producing a photo shoot. "Every production has an idea, a budget, and a timeline." - Ab Sesay

 

Successful fashion shoots begin with a concept. What are you trying to achieve in this image, and how can you reinforce the concept/story with all of the visual elements? How can you make the posing, lighting, styling, and retouching work together for the most impact?
 


In fashion photography, it is easy for everything to start looking ‘pose-y’ and static. Adding movement to your fashion shoots can breathe life and energy into your images, yet it can be hard to control!

Can you create eye-catching creative lighting with nothing more than a cheap party decoration? Well… yes of course you can, with the right knowledge! DIY creative lighting can look refined and truly stunning if you do it right! Just because it's high-end fashion photography or even a portrait doesn’t mean that a good ‘ole DIY approach can’t achieve the elegance you need!
 

Fashion lighting doesn`t need to be complicated to be striking or high fashion. Furthermore, one light doesn´t mean they are "boring" either. In fact, many of the lighting setups on the covers of the biggest fashion magazines are achieved with a single light. Lindsay had like to share 3 of his favorite fashion (full length) setups that you can achieve with a single light, and here is what's great about it-- they all look totally different.
