This video is a tour of how lighting can appear different depending on where you are in a room.

• Facing a window with natural light vs. turning away from the light and being in shadow.

• Being in darkness (shadows) can make lines and creases on your face show more.

• Being well lit with natural sunshine can make you look more delighted.

• We encourage you to set up your lighting for interviews in light that makes you look delighted and not fearful.

to be in the dark. Now I turn, there comes some natural light again and we're back in the sunshine that makes us look delighted to be here. So, I just want to encourage you as you're setting up your space to take your interviews, your job interviews, to set up your new meetings, whatever it is, set up in some light that makes you look delighted and not fearful. Good luck!
