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

My approach with the SmallRig RGB LED Photography Flashlight is all about skill > gear. Instead of stacking softboxes, stands, and three-point kits, I focus on:

  • Smart placement (angles, distance, background interaction)
  • Using practicals and reflections to multiply that one light
  • Leaning into contrast and shadows for cinematic depth

Traditional setups can look “technically correct” but flat and generic. A single, powerful RGB flashlight forces creativity: quick tweaks, bold shapes, and fast iteration, which is why those 5 shots in the TikTok were all done with just that light and positioning.

Want me to break down one of those 5 setups step-by-step so you can copy it?
