3 Personal Branding Lighting Setups (Using One Light) with Lindsay Adler

Personal branding photography should feel exactly that...personal! Through styling, posing and lighting you can work with a subject to reflect their personality and brand. In this video, I show you how to create three completely different personal branding looks using just one light. With a few simple adjustments (changing the light direction, adding or removing a grid, and using a reflector) you can quickly move from dramatic and sculptural light to a soft, high-key glow with truly minimal adjustments. This approach is perfect for personal branding sessions because it allows you to show your client multiple lighting styles right away, allowing them to easily select which is best for their goals. You’ll also see how I work efficiently on set by pairing the Canon R5 Mark II with the Canon RF 24-105mm f/2.8. The zoom range lets me quickly move from full-length to close-ups without changing lenses, keeping the shoot fast and flexible. If you photograph entrepreneurs, professionals, or creatives, this method will help you deliver variety, efficiency, and personalized results—all with a single light setup.
