Photo Lighting overview

Updated September 29, 2026

Studio 01 · Photo Lighting is the full portrait lighting simulator for photography and video. Use it when you plan a shoot and think from the camera’s point of view.

It runs on the shared 3D workspace with four lights, all presets, gels and every head, skin tone and backdrop. On top of that it has its own tools:

  • Photo Tools: Solo light, Kelvin matching, Key:Fill Assist and focal-length previews.
  • 3D, Diagram and Setup views: the same setup seen from the camera, from above or as a printable summary.
  • Analysis: ratios, pattern and contrast of your setup in familiar lighting terms.
  • Saved Setups and project files: compare setups side by side, keep them in a project file or save them to The Archive.
