I don't understand a point I. The video. In what way does a grid makes light harder? Is that due to the fact that it "focuses" more the light? Or because they act as a whole lot of tiny sources?

This is great to hear from a pro - Ive mainly been working on headshots, some fashion and product shot photos and videos and have been using my "home studio" which is my apartment and balcony - i get plenty of negative comments about not having a professional cavernous purpose studio kitted out with expensive gear, however the incoming work does not justify the cost of such a studio but this does not stop me producing great work. The majority of people are surprised at the quality of whats possible from a home based setup and dont realise that shots they see in magazines and TV do not need giant spaces and expensive equipment to pull off.

The best advice EVER! Just for your information as part of what I do I correct images for professional print for the architectural industry and have been doing so for over 25 years. If new photographers follow your advice they can steer a path to high quality, productivity and PROFITS! Make it as right as possible in front of the lens, in my experience 99% of the time less expensive and better quality than image editing. I shoot only for fun and yes I took 45 images of a frog in my pool to get one good one, at least today it's just delete, it could stil be film. Keep up the good work.

I went thru the same thing years ago...with the scenario being using my apt/LR for a studio- after having had a larger dedicated space. Bottom-line: my 2000w/s pack, at it's lowest setting, was still 400w. Which was fine in the studio, but too much in my LR. So I had to run two heads; 200w/s ea. Still needing to knock down the power/output, finally used ND gels on flash tubes, killing 1-2 stops more light. An easy/cheap fix for most shooters on a budget, in a small space/interior.... would be speedlights. And you could go w/o transceivers/triggers....by going old school, PC cord sync.

,Karl, Thank you very much for applying science to photography in lighting. i had a very small studio,barely 168 sq.ft . i did product photography and portraits within that space,I sometimes used the nightly dark to change film from colour to black 7 White or vice versa as I had only one camera to load film. i also did polaroid portraits for instant prints. my enlarger took some space,mounted on a table. i had painted my wall grey and used separate paper backgrounds ,cloth pull-down backgrounds. well,one has to make-do with what one has, lighting for portraits in a space that had 10 ft width was okay for portraiture as I bounced it off the white painted ceiling. it felt great. I planned to have railings and pro lights but money was scarce. i had clients coming in with their cameras during the afternoons on holidays asking me to shoot their portraits. i did it. they took it to a studio and got prints. i had no control over it but when they came again,I knew I had amply satisfied them. so,say,cheer up

I love and respect all the work and time put into what you are doing Karl but i saw the artist air quotes and i had to make a remark. Not to offend anybody but let's not mix photography as an artform with photography as a tool for advertising. There is a big difference between photography as self-expression and photography obeying a client's brief.
@VisualEducationStudio2 жыл бұрын
It is a good point of discussion but there are many images created for the purpose of advertising that could still be considered 'art'. The pushback against this from the art world is that 'art' is never intended to be commercial which we all know from how the art world operates is complete nonsense as much of the dealers focus is on the money and not the art these days. There are also many images that were created with the pure intention of being art but are then accosted by companies as an advertising images, when this happens are they no longer art? For example if famous sculpture or painting features in a TV commercial or billboard is it no longer art? Or a beautiful landscape that eventually became a stock shot but the photographer died and then the family put his work into stock but was never intended to be shot for stock, then features in an advertising campaign? Where do you draw the line? You can have bad art and good art but good art has the ability to invoke emotion in the viewer, there are many images that can do this whether they were shot for commercial purposes or not.

Thank you so much for this very practical advice! How would you like to comment the advent of LED lights being currently introduced into photographic lighting? What are their properties that need to be considered if contemplating of acquiring those, for example for product photography or portraiture? Does it make sense trying to combine them with speedlights or other types of light sources?
@VisualEducationStudio4 жыл бұрын
Hi Check out my recent car shoot video I mix high quality LED with HMI lighting. Also look for my recent e-commerce product shoot with LED lights.
@hannumononen63454 жыл бұрын
I did, and also saw your video on the Broncolor LED 160 light at kzbin.info/www/bejne/d5i8p4h6lLKrmZI . The only problem for a non-professional is the price tag of $ 1,700 ... might there be any "next best" wallet-friendly solution...? You mentioned that the incomplete spectrum of light in a flat panel LED's makes those less useful, but can the lack of certain colours of light be compensated for example with tungsten bulbs or speedlights with any gels?
@VisualEducationStudio4 жыл бұрын
There is no 'next best' that I know of. Full spectrum light sources are Daylight, Studio Flash, Speedlites, HMI lights, Tungsten (but this is a warmer colour temperature) and very high quality LED with a CRI of above 96. You get what you pay for I've found. You can't compensate by putting a filter on or adding another light source from a different place, that gives you mixed lighting that's even harder to control. If the light is missing part of the spectrum it shows up in photographic fidelity. Light looks OK to our eye with white fluorescent lights but try making a photo and everything looks wrong, colours aren't accurate, contrast isn't good and you can neutralise and colour balance but it will never look as good as full spectrum lighting because it is missing significant wavelengths of the spectrum. The closer the CRI number is to 100 then the more full spectrum and LED light is.
