Clamshell Lighting Effect with the CatchLight

Clamshell lighting minimizes or eliminates harsh shadows and is often used

by professional fashion and beauty photographers for a glowing effect that

delivers glamorous portraits.

1. Position your light approximately 2.5 to 3 feet from the subject, pointing

down at a 45°.

2. Place the center of the CatchLight the same distance from the subject,

and aim it so the subject has a curved catchlight that follows the curve

of their iris.
