this is why you gotta watch tutorials from a black photographer. no shade but a lot of these youtube photographers ain't using black models like that. please give us a video for darker skin tones in low-light situations as well! rich skin tones ad undertones really pop in low light but I've seen so many photosets where they make people of color look washed out.

[@Tommy4k]

Thank you man I just want to do what I can to represent us right!

[@aristothethrone9032]

@@Tommy4k Mad respect.

[@mroblige1018]

Last time I said tat I got reported 🤣🤣🤣 Plus black photographers show you how to do things on a budget. A realistic budget under 1k

[@1985Photos]

Facts cause Black Rich Skin hits different

[@aristothethrone9032]

@@1985Photos ain't that the truth. right. cause you have the main tone and the under tones. and looking at a photographer's word especially in terms of them working with people of color. tells me a lot about their skill level.

what he said!!!

[@ZEROMENTEDR]

Tommy, you did a really good job, the way that you explained things with the lighting setup was very clear. Thumbs up & keep it up. I also subscribed to your channel.

[@unknown964]

This was clean my brother, very good work👏🏻👏🏻🔥🔥🔥, and the model was beautiful. I learned a lot as a new photographer getting into using off camera flash. This allowed me to start thinking more creatively about using a 2 light setup at some point and incorporating gels. Keep up the good work, much love. Blessing 🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@mroblige1018]

We need more black photographers with more black models of all shapes and sizes. Full figure is still a model

[@Tommy4k]

I agree!

[@pamelasantana3253]

I have a photoshoot for my online business soon and I’ve been learning here and there. However, the way you just explained everything helped me exhale, bc I’ve been freaking the f out! Thank you for using a black model with great lighting bc many photographers here were not giving it like that. And my models are black, I need to do them justice with the lighting.

[@Abel2670]

pics look great

Thank you for the video. You took your time, shared layout drawings of the lighting setups, I learned a bit more and I look forward to others from you. Nyla, great job.

[@donbodat]

Lovely model and nice tutorial; however, the first setup is not butterfly lighting as there is no butterfly under her nose. I guess you meant to say clamshell lighting. Keep them coming

[@SuperNikonlover]

Awesome video bro!!! Very informative and funny. (Love the outtakes!) I also love that location. It's huge and spacious! Did you rent that for the videos or do actually work from there?

[@Tommy4k]

Yes this is actually the studio that I do all of my paid studio photography as well. It’s called Media Production Studios in Atlanta Ga

This was so helpful. As soon as I seen you was a black photographer and you have black models. I jumped to the subscribe button.

[@Tommy4k]

thank you!

[@southpawmediaagency]

for the silhouette setup, can you achieve the same look by facing the lights towards the back of the model instead of the backdrop?

[@Tommy4k]

yes that's possible too, it would give her more of a strong rim light

[@regewellaaronasiamah-toku574]

Just wanna say thanks 😉. Picked som tricks

[@TheYoungstownCC]

Happy to see the success! Are you on Clubhouse ?

[@Tommy4k]

Yes my name is @tommy4k

[@Childrenoflightprod_]

Is the key also a strobe or just a continuous light

[@bohasi]

What about the lamps? You wrote just softbox :)

[@stellabella5881]

What app u use to edit

[@Tommy4k]

photoshop

[@studio_lumina]

Hey Tommy, lovely content. Funny I’ve also got 1 B800 and 1 B400 also. My question is how do you use the softbox with the alien bee? Cos I know they’ve got different mount

[@Tommy4k]

They can be tricky, I really just figure out a way for them to stay on. Or you can just stick to using umbrellas

[@VuTran-kz1qx]

thanks so much from Vietnam. i I don't fully understand what you are saying but I have learned a lot. I want you to teach me how to tether with C1, how to save files... p/s : I also use Sony a7iii and FE 85mm f1.8.

[@Tommy4k]

Thank you! I’ll be teaching how to tether with C1 soon

[@nahkii]

What type of lens that you used ?
