Robyn Anderson covers basic video lighting: use window light if you have no gear, upgrade to a ring light for control, and add a hair light to make your hair pop. Knowing your angles keeps you looking flattering on camera.

Hello and welcome to Lighting 101. I'm going to talk to you today about the different types of lighting and how you can look better in your videos. Tip number 1: Know your angles. And if you don't have anything but a window, just stand in front of it. That's literally all I'm doing right now. The next step up would be a little ring light like this or like this. This is actually my favorite one, so I have it linked below. Literally nobody has this, but it's my favorite thing. It's a hair light because hair is obviously my third best feature.
