Watch Tony Corbell position and reposition one light and one reflector around a model, stressing how one light is used to emulate three. A softbox can act as a main light, a background light, and a fill light, and Corbell shows us how.

  1. Not sure how this is one light source?, there is a "main" light (continuous) and then you see a strobe pop. That made two when I went to school.

  2. Hello, I know it's been many years, but I would very much like to know which reflector holder you use. It looks so stable in that video, and ones I used here were completely useless, not stable at all and unable to hold an angle.
    Thanks for that very helpful video, by the way.

  3. Thank you.. this was very helpful, one thing i would like to say is that when you show examples of the the picture, please show the camera settings i.e the iso, shuttle speed and so on

  4. And I who wanted 3 studio strobes for my birthday! I see now that you can do much more with just one single light source! Thank you!

  5. a little too fast for some..thank god for the rewind. I am a little confused by the last lighting setup…what is lighting the model? Is the diffusion panel acting as a drobo also?

  6. @GCFAFootball, the continuous light and the flash is in the same lamp. The continuous light is a so called "model light" and is only used so the room isn't totally dark, it's the flash that does the job.

  7. Question: Is he using a continuous light or a strobe? I see a light source then I see a flash go off when he takes the picture. That would be a second light, right? Is the continuous light a flash also? Explain. Thanks.
