Learning Caravaggio Lighting Techniques in Cinema 4D - Lighting Mastery

Lighting Mastery — 001

Hello, today this is the first video in our Lighting Mastery series in which me and Cinematographer Erick Alcaraz will explore the different styles of lighting throughout art. In this first video we will start with the seventeenth century Italian artist Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio. We will use Cinema 4D and Corona Renderer to set up the lighting on a still life.

We start with a dark scene and will use 3 lights to create the final result. Similar to Caravaggio we will be using a Keylight, Toplight and Background light.
You will learn how to use minimal lighting set-ups by playing around with the Color Temperature, Angle, Directionality and Intensity.

Hope you have a great day! Cheers, Leo and Erick
