Lost in the contrast 🖤🤍
Inspired by George Mayer, @photobergllc breaks it down with a minimal setup — and the result speaks for itself.

Saw a one-light setup by @shutterbyjs and wanted to recreate it.
Different gear meant I had to adapt, no grid, different modifier, and adjusting my exposure to keep the light controlled.
It’s not an exact match, but that wasn’t the goal.
This is my version and I’m proud of how it turned out.

Shot this dual-tone portrait and kept the setup simple. Blue light on me, orange light on the background, then I fine-tuned the light power until it felt right. Camera settings stayed the same the whole time: f/7.1, ISO 125, 1/500.

He controls the light with precision and places each source with intention.The AD400ProII maintains stable output at low power, while the AD200ProII creates clean separation — delivering a cinematic look without complicating the setup.

Comment “SETUP” to get the full lighting set up
Community member Treadcell put this setup together in set.a.light 3D.
This lighting setup was created by community member Treadcell in setalight 3D. His set plan builds a sharp, controlled top-down look with a ring flash, multiple gridded reflectors, and two snooted Godox AD200 lights that carve focused highlights around the subject while keeping spill tightly contained. Together, these lights create a crisp, graphic scene with strong separation and precise accents.
You can check out the lighting setup here:
