This is the video that shows the set up for his 'Three Light Soft Beauty' look.

*Post Processing Info*
You guys are going to hate me for this, but I can't divulge the 'secret' to this look.
Why? Because I don't remember what it was that did it. I tried so many different filters, adjustment layers and plugins that I consider myself lucky I didn't make a huge overcooked mess and scrap the image altogether, like I end up doing on a regular basis. I have been trying unsuccessfully for some time now to achieve this look that Joel does and never could nail it. I think the secret is really in the lighting, which I still have a long way to go in mastering. This is just a start. When or if I come up with a 'formula', I will shout it from the rooftops, don't worry.

I have said it before and I will say it again. I am not that skilled or talented, just your ordinary average hack, if you will... but I do have patience.

To quote Joel "Hard work will out perform talent any day of the week".

Don't give up and only try to please yourself :)
