How to get DRAMATIC LIGHTING for portrait photography | Lighting techniques

How to achieve dramatic lighting for portrait photography with one, two or three lights at home? Cinematic dramatic lighting can be sometimes challenging. I started to be interested in dramatic lighting when I was creating few photos for my Instagram noir photo challenge. I needed to achieve dramatic look in portrait photography with harsh shadows. I don’t have a professional photo studio so I had to figure out how to shoot dramatic portraits with one light. Mainly I was using Aputure 120D light with softbox. Then I started to play with more lights in my photo. In this video, I want to share with you my experiences with dramatic lighting.
