3 Light High Key Headshot

Nikon D750, Nikon 85mm ƒ/1.8G, ISO 100, ƒ/5.6, 1/80
Keep your setup simple and concentrate on expressions is my suggestion. Here is my setup for this photo above.



Here is the gear that I am using for the photo.
  • 3 – Alienbee B1600
  • Paul Buff – White High Output Beauty Dish
  • Lastolite Triflector kit silver/gold
  • Collapsible Background - 5 x 7' (Black/White)
  • Nikon D750
  • Nikon 85mm ƒ/1.8G

In my basement I have a setup that is similar and the only difference is I have a hair light mounted in the ceiling.


I am shooting on the lowest power setting possible for all the lights.


Works well for men as well.

All comments are reviewed.This is done primarily to eliminate spamming. Please be patient, I maybe on assignment and unable to review right away.

But to increase meaningful conversation, sometimes it’s necessary to reduce the not-so-meaningful bits. Here are the kinds of things we’ve been deleting in recent posts. Please avoid these types of comments:

One-word comments like “Cool!” or “Thanks!” While we appreciate the congrats, we’d love to hear more about what exactly you love, and (even more importantly) why.

Shameless self-promotion. Comments that contain links to your site within the body or otherwise encourage folks to visit your blog are a no-no. If you’d like to increase traffic to your blog, there are other places than here to do that.

Multiple comments by one author. We’re glad you want to be engaged, but please give others a chance to speak, too.

Really long comments. Let’s just say that if you need to take more than three breaths to read your comment, it’s probably too long.
