3 Simple Studio Setups for Portraits on Film

[@Elithorn-h2c]

I enjoyed how the photographer manages his environment. His direction allowed to model to model without over relying on looks, ego, personality, etc.

[@tylrhufm]

The photo of the model in the brick archway is amazing. It’s a great composition

[@NegativeFeedback]

Was a nice surprise of a location to stumble into

[@silverviscin]

NegativeFeedback did you use a strobe here?

[@MadisonBeach]

Gives me something to try out whilst stuck at home, cheers George!

[@s0nglyr1cs]

Just made myself a cup of coffee and sat down on my computer. Nice timing with the upload George!

[@NegativeFeedback]

I was just waiting for you to finish brewing that coffee actually

[@s0nglyr1cs]

@@NegativeFeedback I knew I could count on you

[@ioegreer]

so sick. soft box photos were fire. but loved the ones at the end outside 😍

[@2071photo]

Holy shit man the shot at 6:48 is my absolute favorite, definitely one of my top 5 favorite images I’ve seen on your channel.

[@renzocf21]

one of my favourite of his portraits for sure

[@samsaint11]

hey Instagram buddy

[@2071photo]

samsaint11 hi! ☺️✌🏽

[@Trombone1310]

Also I love if you did some livestreams! Life has been boring here since the social distancing has been put in place

[@santiagochaher3588]

I LOVE the color grading in your videos, and would really love to see a tutorial on how to achieve it!

[@patrickburger9198]

Oh my god, i love the simplicity of your workflow! I’m coming from an all digital world of Photography. And everything seems as it would have to be perfect in a technical way. So much tech, such a lack of intuition and heart. I really want to get into film photography more and thanks to you and a few other YTers i feel that fire inside me again to go out and try something new again!

[@jeongwonkim203]

I LOVED the way you explained how you work the one light softbox with the water metaphor

[@AnthonySchnitzel]

Finally a very informative and well made film photography video ! I like the casual walk-around-town videos we see everywhere these days, but THIS ! This is the good stuff.

[@brejohnson5459]

Extremely helpful for me as I'm learning/testing with natural light and strobes in the studio. Great content!

[@Trombone1310]

This is EXACTLY what I needed right now!

[@AlfieAmoruso]

damn last time i was this early u were the only film channel on youtube

[@HGRGRY]

you can never beat the softness of natural light

[@thehealthpotions]

THANK YOU GEORGE

[@jennxu8149]

The photo with the model in the brick archway is masterful! Always looking forward to seeing your photos

[@58hsku6]

Gosh, I think I just fell in love, what a voice!

[@jasonzy425]

Thanks George!

[@johnduke6438]

The natural light at 1.00 is beautiful!

[@AnaloguePT]

I love the second setup with the umbrella with diffuser.

[@erwnalejo]

Loved the bare bulb! Finally some to try on while locked in at home! But the natural light is never the less best.

[@ruffprophetproductions]

they all have their place. but all are awesome

[@maingaila]

Outdoor will always be my favourite but the one light set up is 👌🏿

[@SirWeAre]

The second set up was what I used to do for work shooting portraits, but I've been diving into the 3rd set up as recent. Hopefully I can invest in some more equipment soon. Great video

[@DJTV30]

I love the bare bulb.

[@bogeeeee]

Very good idea with this studio photos on this quarantine time 👌🏻❤️

[@WhiteVaille]

Wow! These are all absolutely stunning! Fantastic model, too!

[@antonioseoane3319]

thank you!

[@flachtsix]

Natural light ones look really good, but for me they’re a close second to the softbox flash with the bounce. All of them look nice though!!

[@acesonmurray4660]

wow. rethinking my whole shooting style .

[@ojoaocruz]

Natural light for sure! But I also enjoy using the strobes with soft light :)

[@tone_gut3143]

big fan from Costa Rica George, you have become one of my favourite photographers and idk if I should call you that, but youtuber too. Thanks for all the amazing work you do.

[@richardg6109]

Nice video, George.

[@rulnacco]

Nice! You were working with Maxime Samo, I see--he's a fantastic model.

[@jdouguspsa]

hope ur staying healthy n happy during this quarantine george o

[@stuartbaines2843]

Natural daylight 👍 first image with red top was best 👍🙂 You could do with one of those clothes rails on wheels for mounting reflector ?

[@blackcameraphoto]

Outside photos are the tish!!!!!

[@dare98]

This video is just what I needed to help me out! Thank you so much!!

[@15Askari]

Love your work. Thank you for this one

[@BuddyPres]

Bare bulb and film my favourite

[@fjez]

maybe an idea: since i’m stuck in my home i’m having trouble keeping up with developing my photography. i’d love to see your take on this!! so maybe what you’d do on a typical day inside your house, taking photo’s or scanning or editing or whatever?

[@rgrbrn]

Seems so simple! Thanks mate!

[@jhoang861]

i like natural light and strobe.

[@tristanlope93]

That is most useful. Thank you for sharing.

[@chaseharmon9234]

Nice work as usual! Would you mind sharing more about how you meter when using a strobe?

[@fjez]

i love the studio videos!!!! your studio looks sick and i love the shots you take in there

[@erictoribio8169]

Great vid! Images look really clean and professional

[@natashabenty]

Just discovered your channel and I love your vibe. Thank you for your great tips ! And I’m sure you’re a great model to shoot, such nice features

[@aaronmoiche330]

This was really helpful, I’m gonna read up some more on this

[@fastbacktina]

Gorgeous photos, great job! Thanks for sharing! :-)

[@ferencbodor]

Thanks George! Some really powerful but simple setups. I´m enjoying the negative fill as well, lately ;)

[@StephenMilner]

Hey, what an awesome video. Keep up the amazing work! I look forward to your next video.

[@danielhumes]

Natural light for me but strobe lights definitely get the job done

[@portraitsofafilmmaker]

Really dope stuff! Thanks for the tips!

[@FramesPerSecond]

It’s 3am and yet here I am.❤️

[@IsThatYouSimon]

Can you give some tips about where to measure the exposure on these conditions ? Do you expose with spotmeter the highlights or shadows ?

[@thedondeluxe6941]

Nice video, very informative. I've always preferred natural light or soft box myself. Someone please design a point 'n' shoot with built in soft box.

[@Bobby_sprinkles]

Definitely prefer the outside ones. Maybe not a thing to be trying right now though!

[@PaddyThePaddy]

The color tone on these photos is amazing! What film stock did you shoot with?

[@tweezy250]

natural light allldaaaaaayyyy

[@leafsfan71]

Great video. Wish you had included how you metered each setup

[@jmguitarnavy]

6:00 Don't you risk getting red-eye in the photo with the flash being so close to the lens? Or do you do pre-flash to close the pupil beforehand? Loved the video, it really made me want to book a studio session with my mamiya 645!

[@tomdivasion7724]

All killer (light), no filler (light)

[@SHDEdits]

Your shadows are so deep and clean. Were you placing your shadows at middle gray or a couple stops below middle gray?

[@garciaomar0203]

which strobe do you use?

[@sonygoup]

A lot of Quarantine portraits coming up

[@alvaromonje6804]

It would be great to see a video using a flash in portraits outside

[@munyangtengen8840]

Which bulb did you use? This looks great!

[@Annzabannza]

Wish I could have my own studio :((

[@PHlophe]

don't well all, anna

[@kkfox7822]

Great tutorial! Some are so detailed it just feels too hard and I give up. I have another small thing I'm wondering about: why do people still faff around with flash? There are so many continuous lights available. Personally, I have epilepsy so flash is hazard but it just seems easier for everyone (and potentially epileptic clients!) to use continuous lights.

[@thapelomasebe3075]

the hard flash ones are hard

[@lukeforte1328]

I know this is like 9 months late lol but just wondered what film stock you used (guessing Portra haha) and what iso speed you used for the studio portraits ?

[@dirtydan5140]

What was the light you used? And is there something comparable for a beginner?

[@jorgesilen4142]

did you ever find out which light it was?

[@halee2116]

@@jorgesilen4142 he has other videos on the channel on the lighting he uses! i think it was an elinchrome 400 with a huge umbrella

[@paulsehstedt6275]

Outdoor still the best, second natural light

[@samsonblay2206]

Well, guess I'm gonna take a self portrait of my self everyday while I'm stuck inside, and then try out these setups

[@tinabellyy]

Hello! Just curious as to what aperture you're shooting at? I'm dipping my feet into studio shooting for the first time and would love to know!

[@courtneyj.bennett3530]

Nice!! What's the strobe light you're using?

[@jorgesilen4142]

hey! did you ever figure out which light it was?

[@brandonfilm3097]

link on where to buy the umbrella?

[@Akiiiiiiiiiiii]

Hey George! Thanks for all the great content. Could you help me out a bit, I'm kind of confused which transmitter I need for the Mamiya RZ67 PRO II. Could you perhaps tell us what transmitter you're using and if you're using a PC sync cable or not? Thank you :)

[@viktorfredholm7730]

Natural light all the way

[@rubendekker]

great video and great shots! Just a few questions; how do you connect a flash with a mama and what kind of scanning software do you use?

[@JoaquinneTV]

barebuld is really nice tho

[@felipetascon9142]

Could you maybe do a video on Naturally Lit product photos? All of us makers (I'm a potter) are stuck at home, with bizarre amounts of time to photograph work.

[@micaelamakar2109]

When is the best time to take photos? what schedule?

[@Duyamo]

Really nice videos! What light are u using?

[@mileybukowiecka3734]

What Lens and camera do you used for this shoot?

[@sbati22]

Hey George, how do you go about color grading your video? Looks really nice.

[@JacobCarlson]

Did you mix up the photos at 5:00? To my eye, the one on the right looks like it has harsher and more direct light. 🤔

[@UploadN0ob]

Jacob Carlson you have a bad eye

[@milanjernejknabe3425]

What light did you use?

[@robinjungers]

How do you manage not to use super wide apertures, while shooting handheld + natural light ? Is your studio that bright ?

[@tarun_]

Hey, what strobe light are you using? Looking for something just like that for my space.

[@jorgesilen4142]

hey! did you ever figure out which light it was?
