[@JuliusKingsley-yd6ki]

Lindsay's always on fire with her tutorials. Please keep it up! :)

[@alexanderpons9246]

Oh wow truly beautiful Lindsay Adler! Thanks for mentioning how important is to take into consideration the main light source as it can wash off the colors in the background. Thank you and your Team for all the great content you make in this channel for us all to learn and enjoy!

[@digiratimax]

Gorgeous final output! Thanks for the valuable insights! ❤

[@diklongley01]

Clarity, conciseness and informative. Lindsay knocks another one out the park. Great video - thanks Ms A.

[@tonyantoine5823]

[@bratzography]

[@phoenixrobles1273]

Ugh Lindsey never misses!

[@andyv6127]

Really cool. Looks like fun! Thanks

[@akirakulture]

this was so helpful

[@josephchan4198]

Sweet!! Thank you for the tips. I will check Adorama during fall for sure.

[@mvjphotographie2617]

I must definitely give it a try!

[@jamilgotcher5456]

This is what I am going to do tomorrow for my fashion photoshoot, I just asked my Dad if I could borrow his gels. So glad I'll be on trend because although I love gel photography all the time, I did wonder if it was in style right now for fashion photography, glad to see it is.

[@lindsayadlerphoto]

Yesssss

[@josephchan4198]

Sweet!! Great additional skill if doing personal or contract work. Thanks.

[@paulawatts2362]

Love this Lindsay. Is that a gray seamless background?

[@lindsayadlerphoto]

Yes it is! :D

[@tcvaldez]

Great video. Excellent explanation and breakdown of equipment. Thank you.

[@SlamBradley]

Watching now

[@shalomsanbi]

I gotta try this. soo cool

[@FabiokiOjedaBuitrago]

Great tutorial. Thank You!

[@JamesBoyer-plus]

Thank you for another awesome video, Lindsay! Your work is always inspiring. I'm going to take your analogous color-schemed gradient as the starting point and experiment with using it as the basis of a split complementary scheme by gelling the key teal. I don't yet have your optical spot but I'm eager to see what can be managed with grids and barn doors to start. I'll save up for the optical spot but I'm going to definitely be buying the Magic of Gells first. You're an amazing teacher!

[@cr8withnate]

Love it

[@nigelbuxton3762]

Beautiful effects in an informative presentation. Quick question please: does the optical spot overheat when using the D2 modelling light at the upper end of the power range?

[@lindsayadlerphoto]

It does not!

[@nigelbuxton3762]

@@lindsayadlerphoto Thank you. I appreciate your quick reply.

[@prithamdsouza]

you are my favvvvvvv

[@ritazietsma9041]

awesome as always. Thanks so much Lindsay and team for sharing such informative, creative videos for us. I struggle to get my gels to be that saturated....I will play with keeping the main off the background and washing out the gels. But even without a main on yet my gels are not that saturated. Any tips?

[@lindsayadlerphoto]

A couple of things. First, make sure you are using saturated colors of gels (Roscoe creative color kit is a good choice). Next, watch your power. Too bright or too dim wont show the best saturation. Also, try hard light sometimes for poppier results.

[@bassmonk2920]

So you are mixing strobes and constant lights? And you mentioned tube lights. I would like to see that with more details on exposure settings....thanks

[@silvere36]

How are you keeping the light from spilling into the background? Is it so soft that it just fades? I know you're using a projector but it can still be kind of bright.

[@lindsayadlerphoto]

Its a small light source from the side, so it only hits the subject. If any light hits the background it is on the right out of my composition.

[@MEET_GAMING_0001]

Background color??

[@jamaciej_]

Question is how to put orange gel in to umbrella near by lamp witch it still on model mode - I mean how to not make a burn that :p

[@MaestroWilliams]

❤

[@paulengle5784]

Incredible video, as always, Lindsay. You mentioned the usefulness of the RF 24-105 f/4 L IS lens as you don’t need a narrow depth of field for studio work. Do you shoot wide open at f/4 or do you stop down to ensure you’re shooting as sharp as possible/ have DOF latitude?

[@lindsayadlerphoto]

I usually shoot at F4 if I need more light, but F11 if I want sharpness!

[@sijilo]

😊

[@alhowse]

Do you use a light meter??? Which one??

[@jagannathan7787]

Hi pls tell me which one is better for photography Rosco Photo Lighting Filter Kit or Rosco Color Effects Filter Kit and why , im already using Rosco Color Effects Filter Kit and i like to buy Rosco Photo Lighting Filter Kit

[@anthonycohen4377]

Did you start with a pure white gel?

[@revant147]

Can this be done with a snoot as a modifier to light the model, any thoughts ?

[@nmelcam1]

🙂

[@Roddriley]

Great results! need some help I'm a portrait photographer in Haiti and owning a Canon rp with 50mm rf 1.8 +viltrox 85mm rf 1.8 I've been considering the 24-105mm rf f4 to my kit. don't have budget for the primes. will it fit my photography type?

[@lindsayadlerphoto]

Depends on what you shoot!

[@Roddriley]

@@lindsayadlerphoto as I've mentioned : portrait mostly full-body

[@lindsayadlerphoto]

@@Roddriley 24-105 is great or 24-70 on location

[@silverdoggg]

I've been shooting with an R5 since the day it was released, there is no way she took that picture with that lens! That looks like a medium format image! I'm gonna give this a try to see if I can pull it off.

[@lindsayadlerphoto]

I don't use a medium format camera or lens, it's all R5 baby!

[@zrowedaartistviews2278]

Is the backdrop fashion grey or thunder grey?

[@luxnguyen1201]

what color was the backdrop?

[@DirectorMimi]

whats the color of the background

[@Tekla-pc3ek]

what color is the main photo background?

[@lindsayadlerphoto]

fashion gray

[@anthonycohen4377]

That answers my question too! Thanks!!

[@chesiredoofus]

Its all lovely but what r The f stop for all

[@lindsayadlerphoto]

I usually shoot at F11, but with optical spots and gel I often shoot more like F5.6
