Lighting is the most important tool we as photographers use when creating art. And keeping track of how we used light in a particular image is done, by most photographers, by drawing out a schematic of the setup by hand. Not that there is anything wrong with drawing but if you saw how I draw you wouldn’t know the difference between a soft box and the model.
I recently came across this diagram creator that makes life a whole lot easier. It allows you to display backdrops, the models position, the camera’s position, your lights, and modifiers all in a neat and easy to read diagram. Once you have created your diagram you can export the file to your desktop or if you prefer you can download the program onto your computer. Either way this is a great little tool that will help you keep track of your lighting in a neat and professional manner. And the best part is that it’s available for FREE!!!
Here’s a sample of what a diagram might look like.
