In this three-shot video, filmed exclusively for this lighting course, I show how I mix a continuous hard light with ambient light. I use the barn doors on the light to shape the light output to isolate my model.

These shots could easily be taken with a Godox AD200 with a round head or a Godox AD100 in a Godox S2 bracket.

The barn doors and black reflector are the Aputure Light Storm Barn Doors set.

The smoke machine is a Scotty 11 from the Smoke Factory.

The video features Susanna Fusari and Mischkah Scott and was shot on a recce in Tuscany. I used two GoPro cameras and a tiny Sony sound recorder with a Sennheiser Lavalier microphone.
