75 lighting setups

you can recreate at home

Get 3 practical PDF guides for natural light, one-light and multi-light photography with diagrams, gear lists, measurements and step-by-step instructions for portraits, products and food.

Most photographers don’t need a better camera. They need to know where the light goes.

This isn’t about fixing your gear. It’s about understanding where to place the light — and being able to repeat it next week.

Get one key note to refine the final result.

From improvising every setup to building from a reference.

The same shoot, with and without a reference open in front of you. The difference isn’t talent. It’s the absence of guesswork.

Without a reference

You rebuild the same setup every shoot.

  • × You move the light until it “kind of works”
  • × You forget the angle that worked last week
  • × You spend the first 40 minutes adjusting, not shooting
  • × You can’t tell why one image works and the next one doesn’t
  • × You buy gear without knowing how it changes the setup
With the library open

You pick a setup, place the light, shoot.

  • You choose a setup before you touch the gear
  • You read the angle, distance and height from the diagram
  • You start with proven camera settings and adjust from there
  • You can repeat the same look two weeks later
  • You buy gear knowing exactly which setup it unlocks
