00:00.150 --> 00:02.960
So let's recommend a lighting kit if you're first starting out.

00:02.970 --> 00:08.400
It's easier just to go buy very cheap homemade lights you can go to Home Depot or you can use paper

00:08.400 --> 00:10.670
lanterns you may find it somewhere like Ikea.

00:10.860 --> 00:14.150
We're going to talk more about this in the lighting section in this course.

00:14.160 --> 00:18.700
Another great way to use cheap home lighting is just grabbing the lights around your house.

00:18.780 --> 00:23.520
You may have some nice lights around your bed in your living room that you can kind of move up close

00:23.520 --> 00:27.060
to you or use their ambient light to light your subjects.

00:27.060 --> 00:31.380
Another great technique that I use all the time is just putting your subject or yourself or whoever

00:31.380 --> 00:33.330
you're shooting next to a window.

00:33.450 --> 00:37.500
There's nothing better than the free light coming from the sun although you are going to be sort of

00:37.500 --> 00:38.980
slave to the weather.

00:39.180 --> 00:43.710
However soft lighting is usually nicer and if you have harsh lighting coming through window you can

00:43.710 --> 00:45.330
always use it as a backlight.

00:45.390 --> 00:48.210
You'll just be erasing the sun for mid-tier lighting.

00:48.210 --> 00:49.700
You can go three different ways.

00:49.770 --> 00:51.640
You can rent a lighting kit for your shoot.

00:51.660 --> 00:57.360
You can find a cheap new kit online somewhere or you can buy a pro use kit online somewhere.

00:57.510 --> 01:01.670
So if you're going to pro-level I would suggest going into the lady world.

01:01.740 --> 01:07.170
We use lights made by like here and there LCD lights LCD lights are great because they don't put off

01:07.170 --> 01:07.800
a lot of heat.

01:07.800 --> 01:09.850
They draw very little power.

01:09.870 --> 01:14.070
They're dimmable and you can bicolor them which means you can have them be tungsten light or you can

01:14.070 --> 01:19.090
have them be daylight to match the sun lighting really depends on different projects and different locations.

01:19.110 --> 01:23.160
You can really figure out what light you need based on the project that you're shooting.

01:23.160 --> 01:28.080
So it's kind of hard to really invest in one light that will encompass your entire project unless you're

01:28.080 --> 01:30.600
doing something specific all the time.

01:30.600 --> 01:33.790
You can really get away with natural light if you're shooting outdoors a lot.

01:33.900 --> 01:38.430
And if you have a home office set up it's really easy just set up lights and leave them year round whether

01:38.430 --> 01:40.480
it be a China ball or a Home Depot.

01:40.860 --> 01:45.150
