Thanks for the lesson Jiggie. Make more live photo day videos please. Whereby you start capturing as you arrive at a school, set up, preparation, shoot, etc till thee end.

[@seanchen9265]

Thank you for the tip; I am a teacher at school that needs to learn all these so we do it ourselves too

This is such a great video. I took my daughter's high school graduation photos last year and this video would have helped a lot. Thank you.

[@JiggieAlejandrino]

It’s becoming to be a new normal

[@antonpena7978]

Sir Jiggie, lagi ko po pinapanood mga tutorials nyo about shoots. Maraming salamat po sa pag share ng mga ideas about off camera flash. More Blessings to come!

[@JiggieAlejandrino]

Glad you’re enjoying the channel!

[@victormultanen1981]

As always I enjoyed the video on photography lighting techniques, thank you sir!

[@JiggieAlejandrino]

You’re welcome

[@Amarrebhai]

I love the practicality and to the point spirit of Jiggie, this channeled has helped me a lot with flash lighting and understanding light in general and o have more confidence and energy towards portrait which I was not keen about before. Salamat.

[@JiggieAlejandrino]

Really glad to hear that

[@gilvrgs]

Exactly what I need! Thank you very much, Sir Jiggie!

[@JiggieAlejandrino]

Nice!

[@Dalisay4207]

I like that technique where the subject closes her eyes then opens up and smiles when the shot is to be taken. The subject’s expression becomes very natural and not forced. We get this awkwardness in the expression on grad, resumé or family portraits where the eyes just stare and the smile is unnatural.

[@JiggieAlejandrino]

Glad you picked that up :)

[@johnraequial5477]

This helps a lot. Thank you so much Sir Jiggie for sharing a bit of your knowledge. God bless you.

[@JiggieAlejandrino]

[@jmmanaloto271]

Thanks for this very helpful video, as usual. I would like to know how do you establish the power setting for each speed-light based on your setting on the camera?

[@JiggieAlejandrino]

By eye, basically I look if it looks good to me

Subbed. Thanks for this video. Very helpful. ❤️

[@JiggieAlejandrino]

Glad to hear that

[@smalltalk.productions9977]

congrats to you, your wife and, of course, your daughter. it is always good to celebrate the good. i also have a small home studio where i do portraits and head shots. i am thinking about employing a strip box in the same manner you have demonstrated. i had been using a speedlight set-up in one corner but often get hot spots, especially on balding older men. i was hoping the strip box would lessen the hot spot and broaden the light to illuminate the shoulders. thoughts on strip light vs speedlight as a hairlight? thanks for the effort and the sharing. i am an appreciative subscriber. thumbs up.

[@JiggieAlejandrino]

the strip box would make a really big difference :)

[@dadadedodo]

Thank you so much Sir for the tip

[@JiggieAlejandrino]

You’re welcome

[@binsoy74]

Sir Jiggie, can you explain the technique of closing the eyes before smiling? Is it to relax the face?

[@truthsayers8725]

and to make sure you dont get them mid-blink

[@JiggieAlejandrino]

Relaxed mouth and eyes giving a more natural smile, plus it lessens the possibility of blinking when the flash fires

[@Flyshuttermedia]

Awesome! Thank you so much!

[@JiggieAlejandrino]

You’re welcome!

[@lalim2024]

[@ronelbongga7424]

Hi Sir, any tips po on graduation ceremony? What would be an ideal lens to use? Like kukunin yung pag walk at receiving diploma

[@romanfelices8968]

I've tried to take a picture in the mirror while the external flash is on. The flash fired off, but in the picture the flash seems to have no light at all?

[@kyosalvador8778]

How to do this with two speedlites only?

[@ilusm1704]

My mom overheard the part where he said "this is how a normally shoot kids". She stormed in my room to see what I was watching.

[@mcj1169]

Sir 1flash and reflector for grad pic or portrait please. Thanks.

[@ReggieLipao]

Do another video that shows what u are gonna use in a professional graduation photo setup, like with strobes and everything.

[@JiggieAlejandrino]

It’s the same.

[@eubertrenz023]
