You do not need a crazy kit to get pro-looking light. Here is what 0 actually uses and recommends over and over:
- A solid key light (can be a softbox, panel, or even a bright window) to shape your face
- A smaller fill or edge light to control shadows and add depth
- A background/practical light (lamp, RGB tube, or flashlight) to separate you from the wall
For run-and-gun or creative shots, 0 loves compact RGB lights like the SmallRig RGB LED Photography Flashlight – tiny, powerful, and perfect for “one light, many looks” setups.
