- Lighting two people can be difficult to do, so I’m going to use the 5 portrait lighting positions to breakdown how to best light a couple.
Thanks to our models David and Ksenia Ishoot for helping us out with today’s lesson!

Got a great idea for the next Laws of Light video? Post it down below!
High and low key portrait light ideas?
Your lighting tutorials are the best. Thanks for sharing your knowledge
Amazing manipulation of lights & models creating simple, but dynamic shots. This guy, the photographer, Jay P Morgan evidences what a Master Artist can pull out of the Magician's Hat! 😎😎
Thank you for the compliment. I appreciate your support!
I find my biggest challenge when lighting a couple is keeping them from casting shadows on each other.
I find the best moments happen organically, when they're allowed to move freely and play with each other, but as they move they often tend to throw off the Light.
So difficult.
I love your laws on light. Lighting is a bit of my struggle and finding a mentor like you is a blessing!
I really appreciate that! I'm glad to be your online mentor
Fantastic video. Short with lots of great information.
Thank you.
You're welcome Giovan! Have you seen our first portrait lighting setup video?
Your teaching skills are amazing. Thanks for sharing all this knowledge.
Thanks for watching Atif! I'm happy to share what I've learned over my many years of shooting
you know I really like the enthusiasm you show in your videos :)
Thanks! I try to keep it as lively as possible :D
If you haven't seen our first video on the 5 Portrait Lighting Setups check it out here: czcams.com/video/D_O6pbT7Ovw/video.html
Thanks Mr. Slanted. Very fun.
You're welcome! Thanks for watching :)
EXCELENT tutorial. Very usefull. Thanks for posting.
Thanks for watching Steven!
This is great, and such a beautiful couple!!!
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for your comment!
Awesome lighting tutorial... as always!
Thanks for watching Wilson!
What non large soft box do you recommend, and would you recommend I buy 1 or 2?
Great info as always!
Thanks for watching! Tag us in your couples portraits @theslantedlens. We'd love to share them with others!
Very nice video, Jay P!
Thanks for watching! Check out our other lighting videos: czcams.com/video/FPfH3M--224/video.html
Great ideas if the couples are close to the same height. What are your suggestions for a 6 foot guy and a 5 foot woman?
Oh man - this is just what I needed. I have my first clients in just over a week and I have a really good like (the Bowens GM 750 Pro) but I only have one of them. I'm a bit nervous about it and I've had all the usual "we are not very photogenic" comments at the pre-shoot consultation. So this is just what I needed to get me 4 or 5 keepers. Many thanks for this advice.
Wish you great success with your shoot!
bro you are the best
Thx for the lesson JP :)
You're welcome Richard! Check out my previous laws of light episode on glass: czcams.com/video/XYyW7lqnj6w/video.html

Appreciate it! Thanks for your support!
Really helpfull video and the final pose is great lol.
Thanks for watching Silambu! Watch our previous series on light here: czcams.com/video/dbd-zWynkOs/video.html
Excellent!
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!
Tq for the tips! 👍🏻
You're welcome!
Amazing video, I had the single person lighting patterns down flat but doing it as a couple adds a new level of complexity to my thought process, back to the drawing board.
Haha, glad to give you a new challenge! It's definitely not easy, we are planning to try the next one outside!
@@TheSlantedLens Outside OMG! but the same rules apply but outside is a hostile environment, clouds moving in and out, finding good light, do you include the background or blur it ect...
@@gregorysargeant6305 Definitely a lot more variables to consider when it comes to getting the proper lighting!
Great video.
Thanks for watching Ben! Let us know what Laws of Light video you'd like to see next
Thumbs up for the going green add in the middle!
A very good demonstration Sir! Laszlo Montreal Photog.
Many thanks! Glad you found it helpful!
awesome! what if three person overlap groupshot how would you light it up?
Good question, we will make one on group shoots hopefully in the future!
Thanks, That's great ...........
Thanks Sanath! Hope to see your photos, tag us @theslantedlens
Sorry i was Looking ˋ` her eyes´´ 😂, what do you said about the set up ??
Thanks! I'll try this with my wife :)
great! let me know how those turn out. tag us @theslantedlens on social media
💚💚
Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching!
Could i shoot couples on a 5x7 backdrop?
That is pretty small for couples, unless you put it horizontal for headshots.
What if we have two male models? That would be harder, right? Any tips?
What’s butterfly please? 🙁🙁
The butterfly light is explained in our 1st video on portrait lighting: czcams.com/video/D_O6pbT7Ovw/video.html
Good.light
Thank you and thanks for watching!
😄👍
Glad you found it helpful!
Boy, David really sure is looking down a lot 😏
Hope you learned some good pointers!
Definitely a great video on portrait lighting, however, the models are quite stiff and lack warmth, especially David.
Thanks for your comment and thanks for watching!
Looks like you're mad at her at 4:23
They look really uncomfortable together lol great video
Unfortunately, the couple we had scheduled couldn't make it last minute.
Uncomfortable?!
She couldn't keep her hands off him! And did you see where he popped his hips when JP asked them to get closer together? He went on ahead and rested his hand onto her hips too.
These two definitely aren't uncomfortable with each other.
She's hot ..
Yes they are both very attractive people. Thanks
Pictures not attractive altogether even though with different types of lighting
What did you find unattractive about them?
Maybe because of expression I guess?
Ahhh! Don't touch models
