10 Signature Lighting Diagrams by Vanessa Canals

Stop guessing where to place your lights.

These are the exact lighting setups I use to create the editorial portraits my studio has become known for. Every diagram is designed to eliminate the trial-and-error process by showing you exactly how each image was created—from light placement and camera settings to power levels, modifiers, and setup notes.
