Looking to imitate strong sunlight in the studio? In this fashion photography class, Karl uses a bare bulb to do just that.  As Karl sets up the lighting, he combines the bare-bulb key light with fill lights bouncing illumination off the ceiling and cove. The goal is to achieve vivid lighting and strong shadows to really make the image pop.  Model Suzannah wears stylish crocodile print as she poses against a pastel-coloured floor and backdrop. Karl works meticulously to ensure Suzannah holds just the right pose, with her legs extended up as she reclines with her handbag by her side.  Shooting tethered, Karl repositions the key light and makes exposure, focus and focal length adjustments to get the shot just right.  This class offers a great demonstration of how to achieve stunning sunlit fashion images without setting foot outside the studio.
