Progress Photo Lighting Setup
A progress photo lighting setup repeats the same window or lamp angle and tripod height so visual comparisons show tissue change—not shadow tricks.
A progress photo lighting setup uses the same source every check-in—natural window light at a fixed time, or one soft lamp at consistent distance—because harsh overhead gym fluorescents flatten or exaggerate definition unpredictably. Avoid mixed color temperatures between sessions.
Stand two meters from the wall; phone on tripod at navel height. Shadows are data only if they repeat.
Common questions
-
Is gym mirror lighting okay for progress photos?
Only if every session uses that same mirror and time—gym overhead light changes definition dramatically. A home wall with fixed window light is usually more comparable.
