Get Hollywood Lighting Outdoors Without Lights

[@AANasseh]

To be honest, instead of having Markus' knowledge on lighting, I wish I had his energy for setting up the lights and going through the motion! I'm so lazy to set up intricate lighting set ups!!!

[@Chris-ey7zy]

Especially if you have big heavy equipment. This is why you have assistants

[@humbertomartinez8897]

I wish I had his energy period. 😅

[@CaptainMyCaptain33]

Cara is so patient. Thank you Cara! These lessons are so great. So thanks to you both for sharing.

[@MarkusPix]

Its funny, she's very impatient with everything else in life, but as soon as you hold a camera on her, its like she's instantly tranquilized. It's amazing.

The connection....the chemistry.

[@TerryPagel]

I love how you go through all the standard light theory with real world examples and personal anecdotes. The fact that you are not selling or promoting anything only sharing knowledge and passion is inspiring. Your unpolished way of teaching how to be polished in truly genuine. I'm sure you could grow your channel by doing reviews on new equipment. Please don't. This is so much better and more respectable. You're definitely winning and are setting up a much better long term fanbase. Ironically, I learn more of what to use or not watching you than others peddling the latest camera tech!

[@rodrigoflores890]

I really like these DIY lessons on lighting

[@sidewalks22]

Youre true

[@canadianphotography6972]

Thats so true.

[@andyytube484]

This was indeed Epic......the logistics and planning of such a video must be quite daunting.Watching your content is like riding a wave of enthusiasm and by the end you know it's been time well spent.....another Markusfix.......wonderful

[@MarkusPix]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@PatrickJaszewski]

This is a masterclass in natural light modification. Great video!

[@TheNathanMChannel]

After seeing this video I really wonder why people are so obsessed with cinema cameras, giant aperture lenses and soft backgrounds because these shots are gorgeous and SHARP. The Nevada desert is blowing me away with how beautiful it is. The entire scene is in focus. Then Markus shows how to light for a certain purpose. But just the wide shots look so awesome. Just about every camera gear video on youtube looks like soft mush compared to this. 1" sensor camcorder for the win. I know it's not an either or thing, but seeing sharpness after so much blur is a real treat.

[@stevejohanson4133]

First Comment -- Nice outdoor lighting tutorial ! You use a Sony A7III and the A7IV has just been released -- You should rent one to see if it's something you'd like. They say the new A7IV creates amazing videos as well as excellent still photography. Thanks for sharing 👍

[@ralfmoss]

Second 😀

[@MarkusPix]

Yes they said that about the A7S3, so I bought one and the pics look the same as the A73. Its not the camera as much as the photographer and lenses.

[@jaouadchina6180]

I have learned so much from many other professional photographers and video makers........I can tell that you got more experiences and skills....love that! Much appreciated❤

[@Jestunes]

That Sony Z90V 4K camcorder is awesome. The clarity, magnification and color are great. The only thing I have problem getting is the blonde model. I haven't given up hope though. Thanks for sharing. Good insight on desert lighting...

[@shang-hsienyang1284]

I've spent more than US$25,000 on gear and this is the first time I have heard of many of techniques mentioned in this video. Thank you so much!

[@samuelhodges3119]

I am very impressed. You did all that for this video without all that big bulky stuff! And your sound is great. Your good!

[@kurtisca]

I've watched dozens (hundreds?) of lighting videos and this one is by far the BEST I've ever seen as far as explanation and showing what impact each setup has on the scene / subject. Thanks SO MUCH for sharing this.

[@dougarchbold1489]

I cannot imagine how talented an artist this guy is! What he’s done is truly amazing. He looks very young but he was gifted in e very respect. He had a horrible sickness that galvanised his life. Another weird gift. I love that he shows not just talks how to do things that work on the extreme cheap and deliver a great product. I like this no excuses anyone can do it teaching. A very interesting guy!

I think Cara was one tired puppy at the end of that. Well done Cara !

All great tips. But boy, I'm sure you're probably glad you did this on a non-windy day! Me, its always my luck that whenever I do an outdoor shoot and I'm by myself (me and my model, no assistant) there's always a gust of wind here and there, knocking my light stands over!! hahaha!

I've been using the Fovitech 4x4 for several years...it's bulletproof, and I love it! Also, thanks to your video a while back on knocking down backgrounds, I now travel to my location shoots with a bunch of chiffon. It has saved my bacon more than once, calming windows in the background, and it's SO much easier and WAY cheaper than using ND filter on a roll. Thanks for everything you do...you ROCK!

[@instantfreezephotography]

Hey Markus, deine Videos stecken voller Liebe - vor allem zu Deiner Frau - und zu den ganzen technischen Details. Genial! ich mag Deine Videos sehr. Danke für diese vielen Infos. Macht Spass Euch zuzuschauen. Ihr seid klasse!

[@golight1]

thank u. i learned a lot. remark about wind: might be an issue with light gear. there's a reason the heavyweight stuff is so. u can overcome that if u start early and have a good day, or master knots and field anchors, though u waste time and energy doing it. another reason why the early, real-shooting-time site preparation tour is important.

[@MarkusPix]

Yes of course, hard frames can handle wind better, but people following this channel usually want the cheapest most lightweight stuff

[@DanielOConnor007]

AWESOME ambient lighting demonstration video. Very well explained and demonstrated. Great content. Great model. Great location. So many creative shade, diffusion and reflector options for different creators and budgets. 👍👍☀🌗

As usual what a wonderful and very informative video. the energy in which you describ and explain what you're doing is intoxicating(in a good way of course) big props to Cara, not only she's beautiful but she also has the patients which is very Pleasant to see and of course the chemistry between you is so fun and delightful. Must admit at first when I came across your videos I fantasized of having a chance to win freebies but after you decided not to include International viewers it did not matter because your content is so good that of course made me stay tuned to your wonderful Channel😊💙

This has to be one of the best videos I've seen on lighting. My wife would freaking kill me if I ever brought out one of those giant diffusers. She likes all her photos overexposed cuz she says you can see more. I'm gonna put my marriage to the test and invest on a giant made in china 5 in 1. And a nice strobe light. Another awesome video

Why would she kill you if it made her look better? 😉 This is where you tell her "this is for your own good dear- don't you want to look fabulous?"

@@MarkusPix lol when you say it like that it actually sounds like it could work. I'm gonna go ahead and make the purchases and then try that line out xD She wants to go camping in the snow this winter so that sounds like the perfect time to try everything out. To try and get some nice background shots of mountains and keep her and the kids looking nice in the shots. Hope she doesn't mind the 4x4 reflector and the diffusers coming along with us on the trip xD

[@PixPete]

Thank you for another excellent video, Markus. One could build those light frames out of PVC pipe because it's cheap, light, strong and easy to cut. One could use a shower curtain as a diffuser. One could even feed bungee cord through the PVC pipe and then you have a springy collapsible frame that stays together, just like the professional ones :)

[@MarkusPix]

PVC bends and bows which isnt good for fabric that needs to be stretched tight. 5/8" aluminum stays perfectly straight, weighs less and takes up less space.
