Upgrading Stella Chuu's Lighting Setup

Key takeaways

  • Start by turning off the bad light. It cast a strong shadow (from 2:00).
  • Try modifiers. Three lights and different modifiers (from 3:00).
  • Balance the shadow side. Add an Elgato Key Light in the other corner (from 4:00).
  • f/10 for depth. Background and foreground stay clear (from 5:00).
