Answer
Hi, I’m Paul Rogers from thatcreativeceo.
A few lighting ideas tend to show up over and over in my work and content:
- Small light, big results – squeezing cinematic looks from one compact light using smart placement, angles, and distance instead of massive setups
- Clean, 3-point–style interview setups – quick key, soft fill or bounce, and a subtle backlight for depth, perfect for reels and client work
- Painting with color – using multiple lights with different hues (think John Wick–style mixes) to control mood, separation, and story, not just exposure
Want me to break down a specific look (interviews, moody portraits, talking-head reels, etc.)?
