This basic setup is a good starting point for a
nude shoot. Place two studio lights at a
45-degree angle to the model at a distance of
about four to six feet. Set one light as the main
light by positioning it a little higher (about six
feet high) and increasing the intensity of the
flash using the dial. Locate the other light a little
lower than the main light and reduce the
intensity of the flash. If you only have one
studio light a simple reflector makes a good
alternative to the second light.

To create a soft even light, position one light
with a softbox attached in front of the model
on the floor pointing upwards. Position a
second softbox above the first at about seven
feet pointing slightly downwards. Use a further
two lights with umbrellas to light the
background so it’s a clean white. To separate
the model from the background, position two
large black ‘flats’ each side of the model (two
large pieces of black card will do) – this will
create a lovely black rim.

Fine-art nude lighting is all about showing off
the beautiful lines, curves and shapes of your
subject. To create more depth set the position
of the softboxes so they’re slightly behind the
model, pointing back towards the camera.
Experiment with the intensity of each light
using the dials on the flash heads. You might
need to use a lens hood to avoid flare ruining
your shot. Just using one light can also work
very well with this technique, especially for
more abstract images.
Essential studio kit
There are plenty of
studio starter kits
that provide a great
entrée into studio
lighting. Here are
the five basic
Flash lights
elements you

dials on the back that

control the flash output
and a constant modelling
light so you can see the
effect of the light while
you’re posing your model.
An umbrella is standard
issue with most studio kits.
They usually come in
white, silver or gold and are
used to reflect light onto
the subject. They are easily
attached to the flash.
Softbox
A softbox fits onto a flash
unit and diffuses light onto
the subject. They come in
different shapes and sizes
and produce a softer,
more even effect than
an umbrella.
Lighting stands
Lighting stands are vital for
positioning flash units. The
flash units attach to the
top of the stands, making
them top heavy, so secure
them with a counterweight
to increase their stability.
Backgrounds
Art nude shoots are best
shot in monochrome, so
keep your backgrounds
simple and stick to black,
white or grey paper rolls.
Black velvet is even better
for rich black backgrounds.
