How To: Creative Portraits with a Fiber Optic Lamp

How To: Creative Portraits with a Fiber Optic Lamp

In this BTS video I show you how to create unique portraits with a fiber optic lamp.

For this tutorial, you’ll need a dark room,

Tips: Portraits with a Fiber Optic Lamp

  • Make sure your room is completely dark so the lamp is creating the only light
  • Place your camera on a tripod or safe/sturdy surface to eliminate blur from camera movement
    • I also recommend using a timer or remote trigger, even if these aren’t self portraits, since pushing the shutter button can create unwanted camera movement
  • Depending on how blurred you want your face and lights to be, you can play around with exposure lengths
    • For this image, I used:
      • 1 second exposure
      • f/1.8
      • ISO 50
      • 55mm lens
  • I used this mentoring here, my recent accomplishments and achievements here, and see some of my creative work here.
