Thanks for everything that you do. I think of you as a mentor.

A light meter in a studio environment is not a big deal for single portrait work, it only take seconds to dial in a digital camera when tethered. I learnt this from you a couple of years ago when I first discovered your channel and have since become reasonably proficient in low key portrait photograph, it has boosted my confidence no end, in fact I am now taking a photographic course and working towards a diploma, thank you.

Great video as usual and very good information on how to do it.👍

Thanks for another great video. In my opinion TTL+Tethering in C1 and you’re good to go. You touched on the subject of using spot metering to get exposure. That would be a great and very useful video if you made it 😉

Please Daniel, do a video on lighting ratios!

Thanks! I’ve just been super busy - should have some new content soon

Which is better? The hammer or the screwdriver? I prefer Daniel 's point of view over others who never need a light meter. But have to add that my camera has a metering mode "highlight-weighted" that - while not idiot proof - gives excellent starting point exposures with zero loss of highlight detail.

Great Tutorial !!!! If we do not do this on a regular basis,, this is a great reminder how to get Pro Photos,, with Flash :) :) :)

With digitall cameras light metter is something that you don't need to shoot with flash. Shoot, check on screen, apply correction and shoot again.

a light meter is always the best choice when you HAVE a choice. but today with mirrorless cameras the ttl is almost as good. when it comes to complex lighting setups, i use a light meter, it’s safer and i know im going to get the shot ‘in camera.’

[@jpdj2715]

Fundamentalist point: one is light metering the other is subject metering😊

[@davidausterberry3297]

A meter is only going to be accurate if you are using T-stops rather than f-stops. Only cinematography lens have T-stop marking.

It's a no brainer--a light meter.
