Product Information

Focused task lighting relieves stress on your eyes, compared to relying on a single, main light in a room. You should also give some consideration to the kind of bulb you’ll use with your desk light.

While you only need two lights to create the clamshell pattern, you’re always free to add additional lights to the setup.At this point, you’ll have a setup that’ll produce a lot of angular, intense shadows, but this isn’t what clamshell lighting is about. That’s why you need to add a reflector under your subject’s chin, or a second light, one that will push light beneath your subject and create a stunning result. You should generally start with this light at a 45-degree angle, pointing up, so that it mirrors the key light, though you’ll then be able to make adjustments depending on your subject and the shot you’ve envisioned.

Technically, you can use clamshell lighting in most portrait situations. It works well on most subjects, and will give you images that are bright and eye-catching. You can use clamshell lighting for family portraits, for corporate headshots, for fashion shots, and much, much more. First, place your main light (the key light) above and in front of your subject. A 45-degree angle is popular, though you’re free to experiment with slightly adjusted lighting positions for different effects. Also note that, while clamshell lighting does offer a lot of flexibility in terms of positioning shadows, it’s generally not very slimming; most of the shadows under the subject’s chin are pushed away by the bottom clamshell light, so a better alternative (when the goal is to slim down the subject’s face) is to go with butterfly lighting. Clamshell Lighting: A Step-By-Step Guide You can play with different combinations of lighting strength, though to do this with a reflector you’ll want to move it closer and farther away from the subject’s face. Adding a Third Light

If you’re familiar with different types of photography lighting, then you’ve probably come across another, very similar lighting setup:Note that clamshell lighting doesn’t create much in the way of shadows, which means that it’s not an especially strong lighting pattern if you’re aiming to create drama. It’s a flattering type of light, but not a moody one. Once you’ve created the “clamshell” setup, with your lights nicely positioned in the shape of a clam, you’ll want to fine tune the strength of the lights.
