Creating Beautiful Portraits with Clamshell Lighting | Mark Wallace

In this episode, Mark Wallace walks through his process of creating a simple beauty lighting setup with limited gear options: 1. Mark uses a beauty dish to create soft directional light. 2. Mark uses a small octabox and grid to control light spill. 3. A small softbox is added to fill in the shadows. This lighting setup is simple and easy to recreate, no matter what specific gear you own.
