Product-Specific Lighting Techniques

Master lighting brushed, polished, and anodized metals with SPD-aware setups; prevent color shifts, protect skin tones, and get pro output even in tight spaces.

Achieve accurate color in tight spaces with a measured, repeatable workflow: map ambient color temperature, neutralize spill, lock a 5600K key, and use polarizers to control glare. Document meter readings and stand positions so stills and video match on set, saving hours in post.

Map reflection paths, keep lights outside them, and build soft highlights with diffused backlight and negative fill for clean, consistent glass and liquid shots. Sync stills and video, adapt to tight spaces, tune CRI/Kelvin for colored glass, and use a quick mirror check to cut time in post.

Tame glass reflections with power-aware setups: map lux, budget amps, and shape light with diffusion, flags, and correctly oriented polarizers. Achieve repeatable results that preserve transparency, color accuracy, and label clarity in small studios without heavy post.
