Previously, I mentioned that my initial shoot did not work out and I’ve researched and learned how to create a better solution for my final shoot.

After watching a few YouTube videos, I (badly) drew a lighting setup guide to help myself achieve the minimal shadow lighting I want shown in a some i-D magazine covers.

Through the tutorials, I learned to either use a beauty dish or an umbrella to achieve the look I’m going for. However, I thought of combining the two, having the beauty dish slightly in a 45 degree angle above the model as the key light and the umbrella to act as the fill light also in a 45 degree angle on the right hand side of the model as well as two white flags on either side to bounce back the lights creating a less to no shadows while playing with the intensity as well.

Below are edited batch results from my final shoot which I was pleased with.
