Shooting Portraits with Nanlite Forza LED lights | Mark Wallace

In this episode, Mark Wallace creates portraits that are beautiful and soft. By using a Canon 85mm f/1.2 lens, Mark is able to create a shallow depth of field. Mark lights his model with Nanlite Forza LED lights. He uses a Nanlite Forza 300 as the key light and two Nanlite Forza 60B fixtures to highlight the model's cheekbones.
