Here are a couple that tend to stir people up in my comments:

  • Feathering your key light
    Not pointing it straight at your face, but skimming it past you so you catch the edge of the beam. That gives:

    • Softer skin
    • No hotspot on nose/forehead
    • Cleaner shadows
    • Less spill nuking your backdrop
  • Intentionally mixing color temperatures
    Using daylight and tungsten together on purpose. When they are balanced and motivated, it looks more cinematic than a flat, perfectly “correct” white.

Want me to break down how to set either of these up step by step for your exact room or setup?
