10 Fashion Looks, 1 Light with Michael Corsentino

[@hipv4xd]

This is the greatest resource for beauty and fashion lighting I’ve found on KZbin. The way you teach is both understandable and practical. Thank you for teaching us all how to take great photos. I’m a lifelong fan of yours from this day forward.

Thank you so much. This gives a good, plausible kickstart to begin lighting fashion.

[@patrizesworld]

This is probably one of the best tutorial for one light shoot. Thank you. I have a q's: what about the actual light in the studio. Did you shoot with light out? How high were the ceiling lights? I'm planing on trying all of this setups but the space I can use is quite large. Indoors but with ambient light coming from everywhere.

[@mcorsentino]

When using strobes in studio situations ambient light typically isn't a consideration and isn't contributing anything to the exposure. Because the iso is low (100 in my case), the shutter speed is set at the max sync speed (x sync) and the aperture is typically stopped down a bit (in my case typically f11, f16) the ambient light plays no role. The illumination captured is strictly from the strobe(s). So there's no need to turn off the overhead lights. In other words based on the camera settings outlined absent the strobes the image would be nearly if not entirely black due to underexposure. Hope that helps.

[@smaran13]

so much important information here :)

[@krokus5714]

excelente!

[@justme-fe2sf]

Thank you great tutorial

[@nicolasdisanto4095]

Thanks for this content, very enlightening! I was just wondering though in which angle the beauty dish would be and how much it is above the model's head.

[@anthonyknight5114]

Great video! I've watched it a handful of times and read the article that goes with it, but neither discloses the distance between the beauty dish and the model. I wonder about this because the model appears to be lit evenly from head to toe plus the background is evenly lit and from my experience, this is impossible from a distance of about 2 feet (conventional distance for beauty dish use).

[@sedona3player]

Question! Did you light your backdrop at all for this? I didn't see any shadows on it and there was good separation between the model and backdrop

[@mcorsentino]

Nope, no dedicated background light(s). I relied on the key light and distance to control background illumination.

[@stefaniechareonbood8388]

Hi Michael. Great tutorial!! Really helped me a lot to get an idea of a proper lighting. May I ask; what angle did you use for your second look, 45% from above? Also, if the model stands 20 feet away from the background, she won't be standing on the "paper" no more (exept you have a reeaally one ;-)), so fullbody pictures will not be really possible, or do you edit that later on in ps? And last question ;) Is the backgroundwall a light grey or white? Not sure. Sorry, and thanks so much! ;) Greetings from Switzerland

[@mcorsentino]

Thank you Stefanie! This was shot on a white cyc wall in a large studio space so distance wasn't an issue. No PS work on the background was necessary ;-)

[@altar7885]

super value video, thanks a lot

[@mcorsentino]

Thank you!

[@lubomirkotik8870]

hello. what software did you used for the layout? I assume it is with pre-design icons?

[@ArletteTatsuno]

Very nice vid. I have a question, at what distance do you place de White V flats to make efective and consistent the reflection? Every time i place a reflector the fill is kind of invisible in comparison to no reflection, im assuming that V-flats are bigger than mine

[@mcorsentino]

Reflector distance depends on many variables such as the strength of the light being reflected, and the amount of fill desired. It really is season to taste. Most of the time my v-falt is placed just outside the frame. From there I adjust as needed until the fill light amount is right. Also consider using a silver reflector if white isn't geuving you the output you need. The light will be brighter but also more contrasty.

[@Dangerwolff_]

what lens are you shooting with?

[@sultan_sikander_khan]

Awesome, 2 thumbs up... Lens advise for this kind of shooting ?

[@mcorsentino]

Thank you! 70-200 if you have the space. Also depends on format. I was shooting medium format with 1.3x crop factor and I believe using an 80mm lens.

[@llg4958]

Just curious, what lens in your medium format system would give similar compression that a 35mm system would do with a 70-200mm 2.8 lens at 200mm?

[@justme-fe2sf]

I love the tutorial. Could you help me with some of the camera settings for the one light set up/

[@lamducbao]

May i ask the distance from the light to the subject? TIA

[@mcorsentino]

The Mola Demi is 22", my bad ;-)

[@cristian.istrate]

Was it a silver beauty dish or a white one?

[@mcorsentino]

White Mola Softlights Demi Beauty Dish.

[@tonyassi]

You didn't mention the height of the light

[@petesvidz]

Can you use a sofbox instead of a beauty dish.

I looked myself up and found this...

Vinny C nice

[@mauricioarouesty3463]

Your tutorial could last 3 minutos but you make it 21:33 minutes! Perhaps is because you took 3 minutes just to start the tutorial and repet 1,000 time that you can do A LOT of settings with one light!
