[@Kshitija-Ramita34463]

Might need to try some of these lighting tweaks too since kahma only does so much.

[@TAZUTRA]

I'm leaving this comment here so after a month or a year when someone likes it, I get reminded of this tutorial ❤

[@Ronny_van_Gerwen]

It already had 19 ❤️, so I will leave a comment

[@Theoldronin47]

It’s a year later, this is your reminder

[@PolarisClubfan]

This is a kind reminder of this amazing tutorial 😊

[@mikegregory8353]

Brilliant video. Where do you get Delores? Any differences in the light for B&W shooting?

[@b-ultrainstinct1021]

Nice strategy, I need a reminder too! 📸

[@Photo_doctor]

This guy is so honest and humble.. even with his camera for taking his selfies

[@seemamiah]

This is the best 'how to' for headshot photography I have watched, and that's including all the online paid courses I've subscribed to! Thank you so much Mark.

[@MarkMcGeePhotos]

Great to hear! Thank you!

[@ActorFlautista]

This is by the BEST DIY video online! Simple and straightforward.

[@AhmedElnosany]

one of the best self portrait tutorial I have ever watch it.

[@Humpflicks]

With a multitude of videos on this subject on the net, you have been able to narrow it down to some basic essentials that will benefit many start up photographers. Myself included. Well done. Suscribed.

[@MarkMcGeePhotos]

Great stuff, thanks!

[@mydopepr]

WOWWWWWW!!! The picture at the end made it worth the watch, but I love the entire video! It was fun to learn from

[@MsMyworld27]

You Are My Favorite!!! These Tutorials Are Outstanding!!! Thank You So Much!!!

[@sovereignacademyfortheperf4591]

DOPE. Best yet by far. Detailed, does not assume prior knowledge but does not dumb down the content (which is empowering and brilliant on your part), and gleefully straight to the point (no waste of my time). You’re a humble, brilliant, and funny guy that has just made my life easier, so many thanks. 🙏🏾 Subscribed.

[@TheGreyBrunette]

This is pure gold! I've just bought my first light and softbox and I've been struggling to figure out how best to use thenm. Your video popped into my feed at the perfect time. Thank you so much!

[@PABGames]

Wow that last light set-up was fantastic! Photos look great 😳

[@seanballacchino3117]

I've watched so many videos on youtube over the last couple of years and I feel like I learn the most from yours, excellent stuff, man. Thanks a ton!

[@MarkMcGeePhotos]

Very kind of you Sean, thanks for that.

[@seanballacchino3117]

@@MarkMcGeePhotos You are welcome, thanks for all the hard work and great content

[@deewonda1952]

Thank you! While I'm familiar with these setups, I haven't used a beauty dish before. Presently, I use a Canon 5D Mark II with an 85mm f1.2 for my headshot work and I'm working to invest in a mirrorless with eye focus this year! Again, thank you!

[@lhill93]

I am fairly new so I will save this and when I have acquired another couple hundred dollars to purchase all of this equipment I can try this. Currently have the camera, the two lenses, a parabolic soft box, speed light and 600w strobe. 🤷🏾‍♀️

[@karenkaptures]

Just bought the head (actually 2) and a stand. Thanks for these helpful tips!!

[@vostok2360]

This is amazing, going to try it out when I get a flash.

[@djtoman6875]

This was more of a portrait than headshot session. But it was really fun and interesting, and the shots came out great. You're a natural on either side of the lens.

[@LeneMulan-jt2dc]

Love your concrete wall backdrop (hanging fabric, not a pop up). Which backdrop is it please?

[@benkindlon9254]

What swiveling piece of equipment did you use to hold the light reflector when you did the shots holding your hood?

[@eladiasala8217]

you have given me a lot to think thanks .... from venezuela

[@londonken]

Very good tutorial, learnt a lot.

[@gilcarag274]

Pretty cool video ! And now I’m just wondering why I don’t use more often all the equipment I bought over the years…. I think I’m going to put to the test the Godox v1 I bought end of last year. 😊

[@newliverestart6974]

Realy great explanation for beginners like me. Thank you very much

[@HitchCollections]

Truly i loved your video 🍾💯

[@nomanadil100]

Simple yet very effective tutorial. You got a new subscriber.

[@lintoncoke5094]

Thanks so much for the insight, great lesson. The end product looks so rich. How are you editing in post?

[@yassineafqirphotography4379]

So instructive !! Thank you so much !! Greetings from Morocco

[@jonathantyler8106]

I enjoyed watching this tutorial. However, I have a question. I don't have the beauty dish like you have, but I do have a backdrop frame, similar to the one you used for the grey background. I have a black backdrop to put on it. I also have a few strobes (Godox TT600), a snoot, and a couple of strip boxes with honeycomb, also similar to what you have here. My question is if it is possible to get similar lighting using the strip lights in place of the beauty dish as the key light? I do want to try using one of my large umbrellas (I don't have softboxes aside from the strip boxes) as they key light with one of the strips behind like you did. I will hopefully be able to practice this soon.

[@ChrisJones-vt9xh]

Hi Mark, great video. I'm looking for a similar Delores...any ideas where we can get them?

[@desikalakar...3854]

I don't know how you do it but everytime you keep amazing me ...awesome work waiting for the next ...

[@mtr3882]

Great content and delivery. Where can we find a Delores?

[@certifiedislandboy]

great video !.. i enjoyed watching, delivery was perfect and simple and examples were very informative

[@tvieso]

Great video! Thanks. Btw, what is the half cage you’re using to mount your camera on your tripod?

[@Anuva-Payoja8314]

Just followed you, your photos are amazing!
