Using the Hair Light


A Hair Light lifts the image and separates it from the background. It adds 'zing' to the shot. A subject who has hair is a good place to start! Outdoors you can use the sun as your hairlight and your fill flash as the main. In this shot we used a 250W Elinchron with a honeycomb snoot about 80cm behind the subject.
