In this episode, Mark Wallace walks us through the process of creating light rays in the studio. Mark begins with a basic one-light portrait and then begins making modifications one step at a time. Mark changes the background, adds a few speedlights, fills the room with smoke, and puts a grid on his key light. This is a fun light setup that you can duplicate in your studio.
