I think what I liked most about this video was the set up showing how each light played a part in the final outcome. The three photos side by side - showing the effects of layering the lights really helped drive home the point. Thanks for a clear and easy to follow explanation.

[@EliInfante]

Thank you, Thomas! 😁

[@jernejserjak5395]

You are so inspiring, thank you for selfless sharing your knowledge with all of us.

[@EliInfante]

You are so welcome!

[@Neopulse00]

Thankfully they made now those rubber gels you can put easily over the glass without any need for tape to hold the gel in place.

[@EliInfante]

Totally! The flex gels are helpful.

[@2camturk128]

i never leave comments, but i love this video i been taking pictures for 6 months and this video will help me grow so much. one thing i think i miss is the power levels on the lights. like 1/16 1/32 to see how much power you was putting out on backdrop and subject

[@EliInfante]

Thank you so much!

That's definitely the video I needed today, I have my first solo studio shoot and I want to use gels to my background lights. Can't wait to see how it goes. Thanks Eli

Excellent video

[@EliInfante]

Thank you very much!

[@jerrym8140]

Love the photo my friend and the tips. I also love the Nikon S 24-120 f4 for the same reason you love the 24-105 for Canon, so versatile to only have one lens and I can get full body to tight head shots.

[@EliInfante]

Thanks for watching Jerry!

Thanks for tuning in Manohar!

[@vacanechaser]

Great info as always. But being new to the strobe and portrait shooting style, when setting the butterfly lighting with the 2 strobes, is either or both feathered or is the center of the soft box and strobe point directly at the models? Thats something I never see much about from people on whether it is feathered or not. Thanks for the great videos and thank you

[@mendozas01]

Thank you for sharing #TODOELPEDO of this photo shoot Eli. Very concise, clear and educational. Keep up the great work🤟🏽

[@billsstudio2528]

Glad I got found your site! Wealth of knowledge! I have an R5, speedlights and now trying to get decent at portraits. Looking into a strobe. Westcott Rapid Box and the 400 strobe with some gels?

[@EliInfante]

Hey Bill I would recommend the FJ400 or the FJ200! They're actually having a Black Friday sale right now!

is she on the box because of her height or is that some trade trick? Very helpful vid as always!

[@EliInfante]

Haha it was a height issue 🤣

[@WestCoastVivi]

Eli, could you please tell me where you got your mannequin from? I can’t find a decent looking one 😢 I would like to practice more. Thanks in advance!

I bought it on Amazon. 😁

That was fantastic thank you. Do you have a link for that air blower/fan that you were using ?

[@agentsilverfox7495]

I’ve recently bought some FJ400 and FJ200’s with various modifiers to play with at home. When you’re plugging in settings what technique are you using to get the right power output on the strobes? When using the fill light do you remove that catch light in the eye or do you keep both key and fill catch lights in the eyes?

[@EliInfante]

Hey Iain! I've trained my eyes to know what looks good. As for the fill light catch light I leave it :)

[@Zetaphotography]

Would you shoot with the Adoram 400 or 600 or the Wescott 400? Which is better for eco system. The gels are nice but my Old Elinchrom lights i have to duck tape large sheets. Still no solution for gels.

[@EliInfante]

I love the FJ400's!

[@mccreav]

Question! You’re using a gray backdrop but I’m wondering, will a black background work as well?

[@EliInfante]

Black will work but keep in mind you will need higher power outputs on your strobes.

[@mccreav]

@@EliInfante got it! Is an Godox AD200 strong enough for this suggestion?

[@scotthamlyn5873]

What is the difference between a standard Westcott umbrella used for lightning and a Deep Umbrella besides the fact that one umbrella has more depth than the other. Thanks!

[@EliInfante]

One is more focused and other spreads out the light more.

Eli very good! I would love to have a conversation with you regarding your flow on the set with these shoots on my channel
