Adorama TV presents how to set up lighting for Group Shots.


Mark demonstrates how to light a large or small group of people indoors with a single light source. Mark uses the Inverse Square law to calculate how the size of the light source and the distance from the light source to the subjects can create even, flattering light. Be sure to watch to the very end of this video!

Dark / Colored Wall - Tape up a paper reflector

I am thinking you could tape a white reflector on a dark or colored wall to bounce light off of. What say you Mark. Go Mark Go

Thank you!

I just want to say THANK YOU SO MUCH for all of your lessons and this one in particular. I'm russian and English is a foreign language for me, but you explain everything so much well, that I understand everything and even the things that I could't get, when they had been explained in my native language! You do your job so much well. I'm very impressed and really thankful! Best wishes, Gulya
