Easy One Light Setup For Beauty In Studio | Behind The Scenes

[@PristineSelf]

I’ve watched a lot of videos recently on how to use lighting and this was the most practical and straightforward

[@picturemanvlogs9581]

I really appreciate your words 🙏🙏

[@lahlahmccarty6966]

I love how real you are, you explain everything that you are doing. Photos are beautiful but most importantly you are honest & that’s what I love keep up the great work !

[@aw1091]

I love that your creating beautiful professional images with what you call " broken down equipment lol" you go boy!!! Thanks for your honesty this video will be an inspiration to many!

[@picturemanvlogs9581]

Haha yeah, when you share gear with people at a studio you’ll find that things end up broken quicker than usual, but I appreciate the love 💪🏾 Thank You!

[@AlsoKnownAsTori]

I actually loved the images with the larger umbrella around 14:11 really brought out the chocolateness of her skin and looked so good against the backdrop. I can’t wait to steal your setup and try this. I love watching people work in realtime. Good job!

[@GsmoothPhotography]

bro your authentic style makes you so pleasant to watch and you keep it real to the point where we can relate to all of the struggles of every day studio work I appreciate your courage and respect your artistry keep going my brother we need more of you shout out Pictureman Vlogs NUFF RESPECT

So amazing and helpful! Great Job! I am new to photography and learning about lighting. Still learning lighting. I only have umbrella and lights. No beauty dish. Thank you for being genuine. Loved the umbrella poses. I learned a lot from watching you. Great photos. 👍

Great content. I like the less edited format so we see more of the process. Keep it up! 👏👏👏

I’m glad you see it that way because that’s what I was going for 🔥🔥🔥

[@GiannisVeronis]

My man ! Nice and clear to the point explanation without sacrificing on the Quality of the video production or the final images. Someone needs to interview with you and share more creative stuff about your process

[@picturemanvlogs9581]

That Tamron 70-200, that version specifically, is awesome! sooo sharp!

[@picturemanvlogs9581]

No problem! I'm glad you enjoyed the video!

[@caliaga33177]

Great session, great and beautiful model! regarding the tether cable, what kind of connectors does the cable have? does the end that connects to the laptop is a usb c connector or a hdmi one?

[@picturemanvlogs9581]

Hey and it’s a usbc connector because both my M1 Mac and Canon R6 uses that

[@TMIDD]

70-200 don't miss, thats my studio goto for sure. keep creating subbed!

[@picturemanvlogs9581]

You can never miss with that! Especially for beauty portraits it’s absolutely perfect.

[@BenSussmanpro]

Cool demo! I like that you work alone here because most of us in the real world do also. And thanks for comparing the beauty dish w the softbox.

[@picturemanvlogs9581]

I'm glad you enjoyed it! I try to keep my videos as real as possible as to not make photography seem more complicated than it really is.

[@stephaniehenderson1960]

Can you give deets on your v flats?!? What are they from Lowe’s?!? Did you use flat paint also?!? Thanks so much!! 😊

[@picturemanvlogs9581]

Hey and I got the poly boards from Home Depot. They cost around $12 per board and they come in a pinkish color. We did use flat paint for both sides and we built the holders as well.

[@zoomdesignz4805]

[@designedupstate5598]

Thanks for the info. You answered the little question I been wondering about. One question. The pictures you showed as you took them was fire. Were those touched up before you made the video or were they raw photos?

[@picturemanvlogs9581]

Thanks man I’m glad I can help! And they were unedited photos

[@averymcdaniel423]

Are the b flats that you said you got from Home Depot like insulation boards? I want to make my own.

[@MichalOlender]

That looked good man! I have that Tamron lens, it's a beast!

[@picturemanvlogs9581]

Mannn I love it especially the 24-70mm and the 70-200mm

[@davidslocumb9207]

Great video Bro! Atlanta photographer here and my go to lens (especially when I shoot my concerts/headshots) is that Tamron 70-200, 2.8. Not really a studio shooter, but get me on location with HSS, I think I'm a beast!

[@picturemanvlogs9581]

Awesome bro! Yeah, that 70-200 is for sure one of my favorite lenses, and definitely my go to. If you ever do give studio photography a try, be sure to consider my studio as a place to shoot at!

[@tinam4353]

My favorite was with the umbrella!

[@picturemanvlogs9581]

The umbrella hits really nice 🔥🔥

[@kaptainkendrick4052]

Those some awesome shots

[@picturemanvlogs9581]

Thank you so much 🙏

[@ashleyl8939]

Great job! I learned so much from you and your model! As a new photographer interested in doing mini sessions what should my settings be in a studio for 1-4 kids with a 50mm 1.4 lens?

[@picturemanvlogs9581]

So glad you learned something from my video ❤ in studio I will say for up to 4 kids I’ll keep my f stop at least f8. I’d put my exposure at 1/125 or 1/160. My ISO would be at ISO 100 and I would play with the output of the flash until I find nice lighting

[@joyfullycuratedbites]

Thank you so much! Can’t wait to apply your tips!

[@tayeshotthat]

dope work bro keep creating

[@picturemanvlogs9581]

Thank you so much I’m new to this so it’s greatly appreciated

[@WorldMusicStageRecords]

Nice work. I use the same umbrella. To stop your umbrella rod from sliding, consider using a clip on the upper side of the rod. This way you can position it with more ease, and exactly where/how you want it. Keep up the great work.

[@picturemanvlogs9581]

Great tip!

[@Iamjamaalwesley]

Dope work my brother

[@picturemanvlogs9581]

[@kreepalo26]

@@picturemanvlogs9581 no problem 👏🏾👏🏾

[@jasonbodden8816]

Cool vid. The reason you're misfiring is that you were trying to shoot too fast on full power. From 1/2 power onward the recycle time slows down a bit and at full power you can't shoot very fast or you WILL get misfires. At full power the strobe takes the longest to recycle. Basically, whenever you're shooting at full power you need to slow your shooting down a little to avoid misfires. I usually keep the Beep on so when it sounds off I know I can take another shot.

[@picturemanvlogs9581]

Lol yeah I did mention it in the video but I was honestly too lazy to change my ISO or my F stop. I apologize the next time I will do everything the right way to show people what they can do if the flash misfires

[@totoroutes5389]

For next videos: on location BTS corporate portraits, school groups, wedding reception, parents baby portraits.

What about a white clamshell instead of the silver, a little light under chin?

[@picturemanvlogs9581]

I could use a white side of the reflector to lighten up the shadows under the model’s chin as well. I use silver though because I love the catch light it gives in the eyes personally

Not good in how you’re holding the camera or how you’re using the beauty dish. Beauty dishes increase contrast, unlike a shoot through umbrella. Evidenced in the shiny highlights on her skin. Try an experiment and you’ll see

[@picturemanvlogs9581]

Hey and beauty dishes are used for contrast but it can be used in different ways to achieve different looks depending on the skin tone of the subject. And I thought I was holding the camera right 😂 but all view points are welcome because it helps me grow as a photographer and we learn everyday

[@XtremeLinkProduction]

how can he fix that(shiny highlights) using a beauty dish, perhaps maybe changing the height and angle of the beauty dish??

[@AliciaMariesPhotographyNWI]

I like the way the highlights look. To be fair I do makeup along with photography and he captured the highlights in the makeup so well.

[@vladimir.mandic]
