If you are only photographing female subjects then you are missing out on a big part of the photographic market! While I specialize in beauty photography and most often photograph women, much of my commercial work involves male subjects. I’ve photographed professional athletes, executive portraits, and fashion lookbooks— all with male subjects! In this video, I show you the 3 lighting setups that help me make money when photographing men; headshots, commercial fashion, and athlete portraits. Let’s take a look. Headshots (1-3 lights): Main Light: 3ft octabox Rim Light: 1x4ft strip softbox Background light: 10 or 20-degree grid Commercial Fashion/Lookbook (1-2 lights): Main light: Large umbrella with diffusion Fill: White V-Flat Athlete Portraits (3 lights): Main Light: White Beauty Dish (with and without grid) Rim lights: 2 1x4ft strip softboxes Remember, for any of these setups you can swap out modifiers if you wish to change the quality of light. For example, for the men’s headshot, you could use a beauty dish as the main light if you wanted a bit more contrast and sculpting. Your background choice will also mark a big difference to the final result. A brown/beige background (Savage Universal Beige or Pecan) is a great choice for bringing out skin tones and creating a welcoming result. → Article: Lighting Options for Men’s Fashion Photography *To check out my video class and lighting guide on the top money-making setups for photographing men AND women, check out my class!
