Studio Lighting 101 — Easy Setup for High-Quality Videos

Three-point lighting: Key light (main), Fill light (soften shadows), Back/Rim light (separate subject from background). Use diffusers to avoid harsh shadows.

Softbox vs LED panels: Softboxes are great for soft flattering light; LED panels are compact and adjustable color temperature. Mix carefully for natural skin tones.

For small creators: use a ring light + soft fill or window natural light with reflectors. For podcasting: soft front light and subtle rim light help separation on camera.
