🎥 This is how I make my thumbnails for YouTube — constantly on the go, with no studio and just whatever I have at hand.
1️⃣ Main light: 2x @nanlite_global Pavotube v2 aimed upward to create rim light that separates the black object from the black background.
2️⃣ Background: Just a black T-shirt.
3️⃣ Camera: @sonyalpha A7S3
4️⃣ Main subject: @insta360 X5 with a cracked lens — since the main feature of the new camera is swappable lenses, it grabs attention and sparks curiosity.
5️⃣ Dark photos with bold red accents really pop on YouTube’s white background.
