      <g:description>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.

Whether you're using flash or constant light, these diagrams will help you confidently recreate sophisticated, magazine-inspired portraits inside your own studio.

Each lighting setup includes:
✓ Overhead lighting diagram
✓ Camera settings used during the shoot
✓ Light power and modifier information
✓ Equipment list
✓ Setup notes and positioning tips
✓ Lighting effect explanation
✓ Final image reference

These aren't generic lighting diagrams found on the internet. They're the exact techniques I've developed and refined over years of photographing thousands of clients and teaching photographers around the world.

What's Included Inside this collection you'll receive 10 complete lighting diagrams covering a variety of creative techniques including:

• Editorial beauty lighting
• High-fashion maternity lighting
• Soft luxury portrait lighting
• Dramatic shadow work
• Optical Snoot techniques
• GOBO projections
• Mylar reflection techniques
• Constant light setups
• One-light and two-light configurations
• Signature creative effects used in my studio

Each setup is designed to help you understand why the light works—not just where to place it.

Who Is This For?

This library is perfect for photographers who want to:
• Create luxury portraits without guessing
• Improve their studio lighting confidence
• Learn professional lighting techniques
• Build a more consistent workflow
• Produce high-end images that stand out from the competition

Whether you've been shooting for six months or fifteen years, these diagrams will become a resource you'll return to again and again.

Learn My Exact Process. For years I've been asked,

"Can you show me exactly how you lit that image?"

Now I can!

These diagrams remove the mystery by walking you through each setup step by step so you can spend less time experimenting and more time creating.

No secrets.

No complicated explanations.

Just real lighting setups that I use in my own studio.

Once your purchase is complete, you'll receive immediate access to all 10 high-resolution lighting diagrams.

Keep them on your phone, tablet, or computer so you always have them nearby during your next studio session.

Learn in the studio you use every day. No travel. No crowded workshops. No learning with unfamiliar equipment. I'll come to your studio and teach you using the tools you already own

For the first time ever, I'm bringing my mentoring experience directly to your studio.
Rather than attending a group workshop or traveling to another location, I'll spend the day working alongside you in your own creative space, teaching you how to create high-end, luxury imagery using the equipment you already own.
My goal isn't to convince you to buy more gear—it's to help you maximize what you already have.

Together, we'll create beautiful images using your lights, modifiers, backgrounds, and shooting environment, so you'll leave with techniques you can confidently recreate long after I leave.

Because every photographer's studio is different, every mentoring session is completely customized to your goals, experience level, and creative vision.
Whether you're struggling with lighting, posing, creating more editorial images, or simply feeling stuck creatively, this experience is designed around you.
Unlike a group workshop, you'll have my undivided attention throughout the entire day, allowing us to move at your pace and focus on the areas that will make the biggest impact on your business and photography.
This isn't just another workshop.

It's an investment in learning how to master your own space.

What We Can Cover:

Every mentoring session is personalized, but topics may include:
• Lighting using your existing equipment
• Creating high-end editorial imagery
• Studio setup and workflow
• Modifiers and light shaping
• Posing and client direction
• Camera settings and technique
• Color vs. black &amp; white imagery
• Building confidence with your equipment
• Business, pricing, and client experience
• Portfolio development
• Creative problem-solving in your own studio

The Difference:

Your studio.
Your equipment.
Your style.
My guidance.

By the end of our session, you won't just leave inspired—you'll leave knowing exactly how to recreate everything we covered using the space and equipment you already have.
