Quite honestly, sometimes it takes a lot more than a ring light. I could have the best makeup look in the entire world, and if I don’t have the right lighting to show it off, it’s game over.

James Charles

Like many creators, Charles uses a home studio to shoot content. For a lighting makeover, he and his team upgraded to Aputure lights.

The Aputure STORM 1200x provides high-quality, soft white light.

STORM 80cs and INFINIBARs provided hair lights and rich color hues for effects.

The entire studio is wireless-controlled with Sidus Link Pro on an iPad, allowing for instant lighting changes and synchronized effects.
