Think you can recreate a professional photo just by studying the lighting?

In this fun photography lighting challenge, photographer Jen has just 5 minutes to analyze two professional images and recreate the lighting, camera angle, and overall look using the gear available in the studio.

Along the way, Corey Reese explains how professional photographers reverse engineer lighting by identifying where the light is coming from, reading shadows, analyzing catchlights, and making small adjustments that dramatically improve the final image.

If you've ever looked at a photo and wondered, "How did they light that?" this exercise will teach you how to start thinking like a professional photographer.
