Studio & Broadcast Lighting

Lighting for the camera, not for the room

There is a moment every new studio lighting person has. The set looks good. The guest looks good. You are pleased. Then you glance at the programme monitor and the picture is flat, the background is dead, there is a hot patch on a forehead and the two cameras do not match. Nothing in the room changed. The camera simply does not see what you see.
