- Hey everyone! I'm finally back from overseas with a new video for you all. 😊💖
Today I'm going to be sharing my go-to lighting setup for commercial beauty photography. So I actually use this lighting setup A LOT, even in test shoots.
I find it works really well for many of my beauty photography campaigns and clients, as the light has a good mixture of softness, but can still add that slight highlight to the skin.
Let me know down in the comments what your favourite beauty photography lighting setup is! 😊👇

Great tips, Kayleigh! Really insightful information 👏
Thanks so much! 😊
Thanks for your insights Kayleigh. There was a question popping up while watching the video. What’s your reason to use a white reflector instead of a silver one? Is it mainly because you’re only using one layer of diffusion on your softbox - which already creates a crispier light than with double diffusion? And you want to make sure your fill light is not going to be too harsh? Up to now I used double diffusion and a silver reflector. But I‘ll definitely giving your approach a try to see which one I like better.
Thanks for watching Thomas! It's funny I actually used to shoot with a silver reflector for years, but as my work evolved I realised it tended to bounce the light too much everywhere and it also can leave a very metallic look on the skin tone. (I was wanting to steer away from this effect as I was trying to create a bit more of a natural vibe with my work!)
I only use a silver reflector now if I have a very stylised beauty shoot that calls for it, but otherwise I stick to using white. Each to their own though! Everyone likes to work with different tools, it's just something I noticed was no longer working for my own style. 🙂
I show a few examples in this video! czcams.com/video/g-m8YTynV3o/video.html
(Sorry it’s only now that I see your reply.) Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this. Like you said, there’s not necessarily a right or wrong just different. And that’s why I find it interesting to get inspired and to share thoughts. You’re right, silver is more aggressive and gives a more metallic look on the skin. I have worked with a white bounce before but never in combination with just one diffusion cloth on my softbox. I‘ll definitely try it out. I imagine that could also suit my style of work quite well. ☺️
Nice and simple, these tips are really useful! Thanks for sharing! :)
Thank you so much! 😊
Love your videos thank you for sharing!
Thank you so much Tamara! 😊
Love your eyebrows

Can I use my godox parabolic instead of octabox? I saw in the background you have the same one as me!
softboxes does the same effect as octaboxes?
is that the 90 or the 120cm xlite octa? Thanks for sharing your interssting view to the topic ✌️
The 90cm octa! 😊
