InStudio: Fashion & Beauty Photography with V-Flats | Yaw Asiedu

In the vibrant world of fashion and beauty photography, Yaw Asiedu stands out with his innovative techniques and creative setups. Today, he invites viewers behind the scenes as he works his magic, using V-Flats in various ways to create stunning portraits.

The Power of V-Flats

These versatile pieces serve multiple purposes. In one setup, Yaw uses a white V-Flat as both fill light and a third light source. Positioned strategically, the white V-Flat softens shadows and adds a gentle glow to the model's face. Yaw explains that he uses it to fill in from below, eliminating any harsh shadows that might detract from the overall image.

He incorporates two black V-Flats to contour the model's jawline. By boxing her in, he introduces contrast that enhances her features. Yaw balances the lighting with a well-placed background light and an overhead light. This setup creates depth and dimension in the portraits, allowing the model to shine.
