Portrait photography is all about capturing the essence of your subject—their mood, expression, personality, and even the story behind their eyes. Whether you're photographing models, friends, clients, or yourself, good portraiture relies on one thing above all: great lighting.

Whether you’re photographing portraits or products, understanding how to control and shape light is the key to getting the perfect shot. Read on as we break down the essentials of studio lighting, from getting to know the different types of lights and modifiers to understanding how positioning, intensity, and direction affect your final image.

With so many lighting options available, choosing the right equipment can be daunting. That’s why we’re here to break it down and help you make an informed decision tailored to your creative requirements.

RGB LEDs and bi-coloured LEDs provide versatile and unique lighting solutions suitable for a range of applications in photography and videography, enabling you to set the perfect scene. They’re a popular choice due to their adaptability, ease of use and tangible brightness controls.

Capturing the perfect sunrise or sunset photo is a dream for many photographers. The vibrant colours, dappled lighting and serene landscapes can create breath taking images, but it can often be difficult to photograph and convey the true beauty of the scene. Trying to do these unique moments justice to accurately replicate the wonder we can see with the naked eye requires a certain level of skill.
