1st Time Using A Snoot For Portraits

Key takeaways

  • Dramatic fitness shoot. Jane wanted harsh lighting.
  • What a snoot is. A tube that focuses light; a grid narrows it more (from 1:00).
  • Cardboard version. I'd tried a makeshift snoot before (from 2:00).
  • Next. Color gels (from 5:00).

My friend Jane hit me up wanting to do a fitness shoot with dramatic harsh lighting styles so I got a snoot and gave it a try.

Yes. I've used a makeshift cardboard box as a snoot or grid, and the photos turned out amazing.
