Lighting Tips There is an endless variety of lighting styles that are most effective for different applications of the Beauty Flex. Here are a few to get you started. A Lighting A lighting uses the Beauty Flex’s two LEDs in an A pattern. A lighting enhances the model’s features without casting heavy dramatic shadows, and it delivers interesting catchlights in the eyes. This lighting pattern is great for vlogs and live streams.
Loop Loop lighting gets its name from the loop-shaped shadow that forms next to and under the nose. Put the LED panels together to form a single light source, and place them slightly off-center and above the subject’s eye line. This shadow pattern also defines the subject’s bone structure by accentuating the chin line. Rembrandt Always-popular Rembrandt lighting produces compelling images with minimal equipment.
