So many misconceptions on lighting and placement.
This video shows you one way to use ONE light in the correct placement. It’s important that you watch the SET UP video before you watch this video.
Correct Placement of your light, correct equipment, proper white balance and correct exposure mean EVERYTHING. If you don’t start with the correct set up you will not achieve the desired results.
Notice how this video shows you where to look for the light on the newborns face.

It’s also showing you how to make sure the baby’s face is lifted up towards the ceiling rather than having his chin tucked under.

If you’ve like to know what equipment I’m using, here it is:
Canon Mark III: https://amzn.to/2YiPgPT
Canon 50mm 1.4 lens: https://amzn.to/2Vpysd4
Cactus Triggers: https://amzn.to/2VnfCmX

Dog Bed (size large): https://amzn.to/2YcUU67

I also use an 86″ PLM from Paul C. Buff. The inside of it is silver and it has a white diffusion fabric on the front panel.
You also need a reverse light stand: https://amzn.to/2VroXdp
****ALWAYS REMEMBER TO WEIGHT DOWN YOUR LIGHT STAND IF YOU FEEL IT ISN’T STURDY AND SECURE****
