much love man, I'm glad you find the content helpful

[@mohamadfakhouri1405]

@@kyleloftusstudios Question: how do you take a video while your whole background is dark but your face is only shown? Like at @2:33 wouldn’t the flash light hit the black sheets?

[@mikolajrosollitzpasja]

La verdad!

[@c.a.t.l.i.n.]

I love that as the lights change, you progressively look more and more like Charlie Hunnam

[@videolad3057]

Best lighting-technique video on the internet. There, I said it. Take my sub good sir.

[@kyleloftusstudios]

sub accepted, welcome to the squad my goon!!!

[@Covertelevision]

Easy setups you can do at home with ONE LIGHT: * Flat Lighting 0:29 * Paramount or Butterfly Set up 1:30 * Loop Lighting 2:38 * Rembrandt Lighting 3:58 * Split Lighting 5:27 (bonus, how to bounce the light 6:28) * Top-Down Lighting 6:58 👏 💋 ¡Great Job @Kal Visual! We just subscribed to your channel. ✌

[@d.i.m.o.n.i.z.]

Just what I needed. Thank you

I love your lighting breakdowns and tutorials. Unfortunately they are missing a little on youtube and everybody is talking about what camera setup you need. But lighting increases the production quality by a huge percentage. Thank you for the great content!

[@kyleloftusstudios]

[@vladimirvelazquez5219]

You're a great teacher. Thanks.

[@kyleloftusstudios]

Thank you so much !!

[@SurvivingArchitecture]

I loved this video! Really simple and easy for beginners. Can you also explain how you did the dark background?

[@nadjmouboina9189]

You use a grid :) and you make sure you have a black background. If not try to be as far as possible from the background.

[@vishnuvardhan4704]

You can do that by changing iso

[@ar.thebhavyapareek868]

Take exposure of brightest part of face and pull it down a little bit... There you go!

[@JoHnWxNoW98]

A very useful video. I'm putting it into practice today. Thanks!

[@AbA-bi5dz]

Thank you, I love it because you made it easy, clear, plus showed you can do it at home without numerous expensive gadgets or setup. I like your look for setup 1-5, you looked handsome. I hate the last look overhead, it made you look like a clown. It was like a clown-man killing everyone in a horror movie. 😁

[@sindynicole5924]

How do you make the background look like that? So solid and professional looking?

[@JMRabil675]

He used a black sheet or tarp as a background, and probably dipped the blacks in post

[@sindynicole5924]

Name Watcher I mean with the camera settings and all that. I have a black backdrop and two soft box lights but I can’t get it to look like this

[@matnice5045]

Sindy Nicole ikr!!!

[@Deathcomes4usall]

@@sindynicole5924 he would have had a wide(ish) aperture and a quick shutter speed to only allow the light that he is using in

[@মোঃরুবেলবেপারি]

Nice 💝💝💝

[@Theconsciouscrystal]

I absolutely LOVE this... thank YOU!!!! Where do we get the black backdrops?

Also, do you think this lighting can be achieved with a ring light?

Thank you Kyle very useful. How do you hide the background though? I still can see my background (some wrinkles and shapes) but I want a clean black background like your.
