How to set up Rembrandt lighting
We decided to go into the lighting studio and try and take some photos with Rembrandt lighting. The photo below is how we set it up.
Below is a selection of photos I took which best fit the Rembrandt lighting style…
My Final Photo
I selected this as my final photo for Rembrandt lighting as I feel like the triangle is most accurate in this photo also it just stands out from the other photos I took. The only editing I did was slightly crop the photo and remove any small marks with the spot remover tool as I feel like the photo didn’t need to be overly edited.
