Creating a Dramatic Portrait with Checkerboard Lighting

[@farahmahbubwanderlust]

You teach with just heart ❤️ that honestly you are the “Queen” of all the teachers out there sharing their experience and knowledge.

[@lindsayadlerphoto]

Wow, thank you!

[@Senyaotl]

Never knew it was called this! I first learned the technique from Roger Deakins talking scenes. It’s a common technique of his for character conversations.

[@JACLSPhotographyAibonito]

Love that lighting scheme. I usually use it on B&W

[@marcelmarcoshierro6438]

I confess I'm addicted to your videos. Really thanks for your light!

[@lindsayadlerphoto]

Glad you like them!

Never mind what a amazing and talent photographer Lindsay is but she is a top educator in the industry in my opinion because she is just complete.

[@oshcan]

Thank you Lindsey! Great video

I just started get interested in men portrait again. May do some fashion jewelry photos of myself for fun. Thanks for ideas.

[@TheDoctorwooster]

I'm very excited to have found this video and your tutorials. Thank you!

[@lindsayadlerphoto]

You are so welcome!

[@toddstrong497]

Wonderfully done, Lindsay! Thank you.

[@alexanderpons9246]

Thanks for the Deconstruction video series Lindsay Adler, it sure helps us see and understand the concepts! Yes, a V-Flat is a major tool/gear to own as so much can be done even with available light. Love the shot in color and b&w.

[@Phatrinh87]

looove your channel and the way you explain your work, learning so much!! thank you Lindsay!

[@Nicosalgadophotography]

This is awesome will start using one light only again😅 …. Thank you for this

[@luv2cre82]

So, so good! I actually preferred the color edit. I loved your color toning and how you cooled it down (and I'm somebody who usually tones to the warm side). Thanks for always sharing your process from start to finish. Really appreciate your knowledge!

Great stuff enjoyed your photo breakdown here especially for this speedlite guy with limited home studio space and I wondered about your notes on adding a cool tone to shadows how are you doing that in photoshop what approach or technique Im interested to see how this looks on one of my shots?

[@KalimaxStudios]

🤩🤩🤩

[@RobSajous]

how did you grab a the elbow from a different shot? Blends well

[@lindsayadlerphoto]

Just a good old copy and paste, but now I would just do it with generative fill.

[@melissalearphotography1080]

Thanks ever so much for your deconstruction tuts, Lindsay; love them. How do you add coolness to shadows? Is it a tool specific to C1? I use Lr. Thanks 😄

[@Fernando_Cruz_Fotografo]

tiene subtitulos en español la clases que vendes ? es genial su trabajo maestra

[@lindsayadlerphoto]

We don't currently have subtitles in Spanish but it's something that is on our list.

[@Duckshots]

what Canon camera settings do you use to tether?

[@lindsayadlerphoto]

Hi there, could you explain what you mean?

[@lindsayadlerphoto]

There aren't specific settings for tethering.

[@zlatkozarin5106]
