  1. Hi guys. I am starting to learn the craft of lighting but find it very difficult. I have a scene with a glossy upright piano to light. I have done three quick tests: A: B: C: So intention is to look warm and romantic. Perhaps I overdid Kelvin shift and Saturation too much. I think this was at 4000k but I should shoot more about 3400 and shift in post if more required. Current setup is 4 lights: 1) Practical 2) Light above practical taped on ceiling 3) Dedolight on music 4) Light for nearside of piano - otherwise it is underexposed. Here are my thoughts: A: Lamp is in good position, looks romantic and cosy - but not lighting down the nose so profile face looks a bit bland. B: Compromise C: Lamp is not in such a good position - looks a bit clumsy and unnatural but lends itself to better portraiture light - i.e. lighting down the nose line. Which of these do you prefer? Can you suggest any improvements? Do you think the face looks bit bland in A or can I get away with it? By the way the actor isn't wearing a pink shirt - thankfully!! Thanks Stephen
