To get a cinematic look on a budget, here is the core “signature” setup uses and recommends:

  1. Cheap clear lens filter + a tiny bit of Vaseline on the edges (center clean) for dreamy halation and glow
  2. One decent light (LED panel or COB)
  3. White wall, sheet, or foam board as a bounce source
  4. Diffusion (shower curtain, softbox, or diffusion cloth) between bounce and subject
  5. Shooting on the shadow side of the face for depth and drama

What gear do you already own so can help you build the best budget setup from there?
