Three-point lighting
Oliver’s lighting kit includes the powerful yet compact Amaran 360c with a built-in ballast. Paired with the 90cm Aputure Light Dome III, it creates a large, soft light source that delivers a cinematic look with smooth, natural shadows.
The small Aputure Storm 80c can be used with a reflector as a portable key light in bright sunlight or paired with a Fresnel lens and barn doors as a back or rim light in a three-point lighting setup. Both lights are weather-resistant making them suitable for exterior shoots in most conditions.
Completing the kit, the lightweight (1.1kg) Amaran T2C tube light works well as a fill light, to add a splash of color to the background or can be suspended above talent as a rim light.
