The Best Light Setups for Boudoir Photography (Patreon)

Edge or Side Light

The whole point of edge/side light is to highlight the shape of the body of your model or client. What you wanna do here is to create a triangle between your model, the main light source, and you. This increases the shadows on her face and body and therefore highlights the form of her body.

Be aware that you can not only use your position within the triangle but also use the distance between your model and your main light source to create different results.
