Studio Lighting Reference Sheets: 48 Setups

Forty-eight lighting reference sheets at 3000 × 2000. Each one shows the same still life (a matte plaster-style bust, a sphere, a cube and draped cloth) under a different lighting setup. Every sheet is labelled with the setup name, a short explanation, the full light list and a top-view diagram of the light positions with elevations. Clean, label-free versions are included too.

What's inside

• 01–16 Classic portrait setups: Rembrandt, butterfly (Paramount), loop, split, broad, short, rim/edge, clamshell, high-key, low-key, three-point, under-lighting, top light, silhouette, cross lighting, window light
• 17–40 Single-key atlas: one light at 0°, 45°, 90° and 135° around the set × 0°, 35° and 70° elevation, in both soft (0.6 m softbox) and hard (small spot) versions. With no fill, you see exactly how a single source shapes form, shadow edges and cast shadows.
• 41–48 Mood & motivated light: golden hour, moonlight, overcast sky, duo-tone gels, candlelight, overhead fluorescent, window blinds (gobo) and ring light
