Whether you want to create the appearance of sunlight streaming through a window, or a dramatic slice of light on the face, or streaks of rich color, or even a subtle pattern of dappled light on your background… all options are possible with the Optical Spot and I show you exactly what you need to create those setups in this guide!

If you shoot portraits, fashion, high school seniors, or even maternity portraits this guide has a range of setups that you can use to create a truly one-of-a-kind look for your subjects!

In this lighting recipe guide I provide the number of lights, power of the lights, distance of the lights, lighting diagrams, behind the scenes photos, and step-by-step instructions for achieving each look. Plus, I share special considerations for gobos and other specialty tools that create striking visual effects.
