Here are the four things you need in order to make softly using a book light!

The first thing you’re gonna need is a fabric or material to bounce your light into. I love using bleached muslin I feel like it has a really nice natural effect to it. Roger Deakins loves using this for his cove lighting.

Number two is going to be your diffusion that your bounced light will then shoot through to hit your subject. I love using silent 1/2 grid. It’s thick enough to wear you won’t get any hotspots in one area but thin enough to allow a lot of life through still so you don’t need a super punchy light.

The last two things are for shaping light.

If you want to add more contrast to the face using a negative fill. This take away light from the field side of the face to bring in more shadow.

Or if you need more light, use an ultra bounce to fill in that side of the face. Creating less shadow.
