Hi, I’m Paul Rogers from thatcreativeceo. Love this question.

I don’t have a single “definitive guide” all in one place yet, but I teach my cinematic lighting approach across my Reels, workshops, and trainings. One example is my reel on cinematic lighting with one small light, where I break down three setups using the Neewer TL60 and show full behind‑the‑scenes so you can copy them.

At a high level, my techniques focus on:

  1. One-light setups that look expensive
  2. Motivated light (matching a believable source)
  3. Shaping with angle, distance, and negative fill
  4. Layering depth: subject, background, and practicals

Are you looking for a step‑by‑step course-style breakdown, or quick tips you can apply on your next shoot?
