Lighting for webcam modelling

HOWTO, my writing, Webcam modelling, writing

To get the best picture, one needs more than a high-quality webcam. Lighting is important.

A bad webcam with great lighting is better than a great webcam with bad lighting.

TL;DR

Two light sources.
Positioned behind the camera, to the left and right.
As far back as possible, at about 45 degrees, pointed right at the subject.
As bright as possible, but "softened", using a good light bulb, a light box, a filter, or reflecting.

Two desk lamps and your ceiling light is a basic start. Those and another two lamps pointed at the wall behind the camera would be a great start.

HOWTO, Webcam modelling, websites

Many streaming websites allow one to sell clips, and that should be good enough for most. Keeping ones modelling job simple lets one focus on being a better performer and not be overwhelmed.

However, at some point, a successful webcam model may want to branch out from their streaming website(s) and sell goods and videos themselves. Perhaps there is more profit in it, or they are packaging a whole-website experience.

Receiving a gift is great, but receiving it from a stranger is worrying because it's a breach of privacy.

There appear to be some differences between female and male webcam models and modelling.

I jotted down some thoughts, but I got a bit burnt out so maybe there's more to be written at some future point.

I have more notes which I will eventually get around to retiring into these pages.

This was a project to understand why live streaming is so popular.

There is also very little information out there which targets males, so I decided to do some digging to learn more. I ended up needing to adapt female-centric writings to extract things which are gender-neutral, rewrite things so they are more presentable to a male or just write my own stuff.

While interesting, this was a side-project I lightly researched ending in August 2015, but never pursued.
