Lighting Rig

Lighting Rig

Lighting Rig is a setup in photography that holds and arranges lights in specific positions to control how light falls on a subject or scene. In photography studios, a lighting rig can be as simple as a set of stands and clamps, or as complex as a ceiling-mounted grid system that lets designers move lights quickly and safely to different spots. Using a rig helps keep lighting consistent between shots, which is important for product photography and portraits. Some rigs use color gels or diffusers to change the mood or soften shadows. A rig can be adjusted to create highlights, fill in dark areas, or add special effects, giving photographers more creative control over the final image.
