How to Use Constant Lighting in Film Photography

[@EdwardRicketts1]

The Energy in the room. This was Magical. Complete connection between the photographer and the subjects and it showed in the final results.

Man,you are a great photographer,your channel deserves so much more than 40+ subscribers.Respect,greetings from Athens,Greece!!!

[@MikeGrayFilm]

[@sigurdrille9693]

Beautiful people, beautiful pictures! Great work, thank you!

[@MikeGrayFilm]

Thank you !

[@kevinscotton]

Lost connection to your channel for a while, but I’m glad to be back. This shoot was so incredible!! 9:55 was my favorite image by far. I also appreciate you shooting with two different lenses. I didn’t connect too much with the wide angle images, and that’s valuable information to apply within my own work

[@AlexandruMusetoiu]

amazing shots man !!! and incredibly nice studio as well!

[@MikeGrayFilm]

Thanks a ton!

Haha I appreciate it. Don’t go home though! Lol

[@sodapop210]

Great shooting ! Interesting to see that the blue/green light is not visible on the film, but that it shifts the white balance to day light.

[@MikeGrayFilm]

What I love about film. Never know what you're gonna get.. well me at least lol

[@SeanLuc_Photo]

Dude! I understand your thoughts about your creative shoots, I really enjoy watching those, no slight to all the outside creative shoots, I just understand where you are coming from when you mention it. Now, as for the couple, dude, they are going to have to be together forever because the KZbin video and all that fire on film. It will be hard press to re-create what they naturally showed during this shoot. Man, big love to everyone who came together to make the thoot happen 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽.

[@MikeGrayFilm]

It was a beautiful experience to say the least, Sean. You’re absolutely right. 👌🏾

Real good!

[@MikeGrayFilm]

Thank you.

[@ejacks3]

Brother Gray, great as always. Bravo!!! How did all the exposers come out with the red lighting setup? Sometimes it can render funky on film. If you ever make it to Tokyo, holla at a brother. PEACE

[@MikeGrayFilm]

Thanks. It was harsh red on the face. Which is why I switched them to B&W. Maybe a motion picture film would have rendered it differently.

[@ejacks3]

@@MikeGrayFilm I would be curious if you tried the lighting again with different film stocks. I tried the same type of shoot with red lighting. I used Portra 400 with someone with a similar skin tone as your models and the skin came out looking muddy with no details.

[@sneakingelephant]

So many great shots. That one at 10:01 was so damn fire

Thanks a lot!

[@Jake-g9l7i]

That should read , the stuff that dreams are made of , obviously. Jake.

[@MikeGrayFilm]

i love it.

[@Jake-g9l7i]

Yeah I totally messed it up and had to write a correction. In case you don't know, the Velma quote is Moose Malloy from Farewell My Lovely and the dreams are made , is from The Maltese Falcon. Both stories written by one of your greatest American writers, Mr. Raymond Chandler . That was the first thing that came into my head when I saw your setup . If you have not seen The Maltese Falcon I urge you to watch it . One of the best films ever made, and a lesson in lighting you will never forget. Best wishes, Jake E.

[@Jake-g9l7i]

I don't believe this. Another mistake I made. The Maltese Falcon was written by Dashiell Hammett , not Chandler. Now I know it's past my bedtime. 1am to be precise. Jake.

[@dct124]

Mike you gotta peep Tyler The Creator Louis Vuitton project. I think he'd be down to work with you.

[@MikeGrayFilm]

Would be dope 👌🏾

[@JTroker]

You didn't show how you measured light and what exposure you set. I know how to point the camera, and push the shutter button. You're supposed to show how you are doing your work, and not what you are doing. 👎

[@MikeGrayFilm]

Gotcha!
