Paul’s been going hard on a few big lighting myths:

  1. “You can’t mix daylight and tungsten.”
    You can. When you do it intentionally, it can look really cinematic.

  2. “Only expensive lights look good.”
    Control matters way more than cost. Shaping, distance, angle, and diffusion beat a $500 light you don’t know how to use.

  3. “Higher is better” and “brighter is better.”
    Too high = raccoon eyes. Too bright and too far = flat, ugly light. Keep your light close, softer, and angled with intention.
