Lighting Tutorial: STOP LIGHTING everything

This lighting tutorial covers a common mistake I see in a lot of photos: lighting everything.Take better photos by learning how to SHAPE YOUR LIGHT. Lighting in all kinds of photography is important and it is no different for your action figure photos. If you really want that cinematic lighting, then you need to control your lights. Today we are talking about NOT lighting everything. When your lighting hits more than what you want, it's called light spill. Be intentional with where you put your lights and learn to shape your light to help prevent and control light spill. Let me know of any other photography tips and tricks that you might use to help SHAPE LIGHT.
