On-Site Lighting & Camera Setup for Social Media Filming Space

Videographer is needed in Allen Park, United States.

I am an independent music artist and content creator based in Metro Detroit. I am looking to improve my home filming space for vertical video content on an iPhone 14 Pro Max, mainly for platforms like Reels, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts. I already own two softbox lights and a tripod, but I need an expert to visit my apartment in Allen Park, MI and help configure lighting angles, camera placement, and backdrop setup for my specific room layout, which is less than 12 feet wide. My main goal is to achieve flattering, cinematic lighting effects that highlight facial features, similar to examples I can provide. I am open to buying any additional gear recommended. The freelancer should have hands-on experience with lighting for small indoor spaces and iPhone video content creation. This is a one-time setup job, requiring in-person technical support and guidance.

Budget range:
Up to $1200

Examples:
Yes — I have multiple photo references showing exactly the lighting style I’m trying to recreate. These were taken in another room of my apartment, using natural lighting and angled ceiling light, and they highlight the flattering tones, shadow bounce, and depth I’m aiming to replicate in my studio space

Who are you, and what do you do?
