Warm, flat lighting is a technique that creates portraits that appear to have a full range of contrast and depth but in reality, deliberately lack the deepest shadow tones and brightest highlights. To complement the flat look the colors are pushed to something that feels right but at the same time, are a little warmer than normal.
So how is it done? Well, that’s exactly what photographer Gavin Hoey will show you in this lighting and post-processing tutorial. Not only that but Gavin demonstrates the subtle difference in technique needed to achieve the warm flat look when working in a high key and low key setting.
Starting with a basic blank white wall in his small home studio, Gavin explains why the usual correct exposure isn’t the best option when it comes to seeing warm tones in your photos. He then goes on to bounce some fill light into the shadows and finally, he explains his Photoshop tips to clean up the images.
After working with the light background, Gavin switches gear and moves on to a darker background. He repeats the same steps as before but with a few differences to once again achieve a warm flat look.
