Answer
For a cinematic, “Hollywood” glow without a crazy budget, Paul leans on simple, flexible tools more than fancy fixtures:
- Any decent key light (LED panel, COB, or even a bright continuous light)
- A white wall, board, or reflector to bounce the light
- Diffusion: shower curtain, softbox, diffusion cloth, or similar
- A gold reflector to warm up skin and add that “expensive” glow
Use it like this: light → bounce (white) → diffusion → optional gold bounce for warmth.
What kind of light are you shooting with right now (phone, mirrorless, or something else)?
