I’ve since created hundreds of setups (a few can be found in the community:…

set.a.light 3D is a powerful environment to experiment with various lighting setups and to prepare for actual shoots. In addition, it is a great tool to demonstrate and teach lighting techniques. The software’s capabilities however are not limited to the field of lighting: its flexible features and high-quality image rendering make it suitable for broader photographic exploration. In the following use case, I used set.a.light 3D to illustrate the concept, workflow and results of the Brenizer method as part of…
