Trent is associated with Catholic Answers, so I worked with their team to help develop Trent’s studio setup in his small office. I presented to the team some areas for improvement regarding Trent’s look on camera. The set was already well-done, but Trent is a high-profile figure, so detail is key.
The main push for improvement was the lighting. Trent’s dark hair got lost in the black wall behind him, so a backlight was a necessary addition. We also adjusted the background greatly to bring a softer tone to the room. Trent said he’d like for the viewer “to feel as though they’re entering a coffee shop and sitting across from me.” The black background certainly was not conducive of this.
