Laws of Light: How Light Conveys Emotion

[@MultiSciGeek]

I am falling in love with lighting. It's an art in itself.

[@DH-kx7ej]

...this is a masterpiece of teaching. The best wishes from Germany.

[@bepskekaatje424]

I really love the live video feedback instead of only photos! very helpful! great explaining as well

[@TheSlantedLens]

I like that method of showing the examples. Its so much easier to see. Glad you liked it.

[@ggarciacota]

Thank you JP! Great idea to explain light with live video instead of only shots. It makes it easy to understand!

[@TheSlantedLens]

Thanks I'm glad you like that approach. I think it works well. Have a great day!

[@erasmogonzales7428]

JP, I’ve watched a lot of KZbin videos, to many really on light… they are all great teachers… I just always seem to find your videos more educational to my needs! My learning style … thank you good Sir.

[@TheSlantedLens]

Wow, thank you! So glad you are finding them helpful!

[@joshmilteer4234]

This video deserves more views!! Amazing demonstration.

[@TheSlantedLens]

Thanks Josh! Please share it on social media so that others can learn as well :)

[@MattPilchard]

Great video as always. I loved the points of color and light relating to mood. Thank you JP!

[@TheSlantedLens]

Thanks, Matt!

OK, that opening was really cool. I'm hooked, now I have to watch the rest.

[@joecerda630]

I have a great time watching your videos...and learn something every time.

[@TheSlantedLens]

Thanks, joe!

[@babymarshmello1]

For me just watching these videos is the best prize I can get as I learn new techniques and more. Great teacher, mentor, and photographer. Keep it up.

[@TheSlantedLens]

Thanks, Felix! Compliments like yours make my day:)

[@miguelfcervantes]

thank you Mr. Morgan. you are a true genius and a great teacher.

Keep sharing these kind of videos ❣️🙏 Thanks

[@TheSlantedLens]

You are welcome. Thanks for watching!

[@JR-lx8nn]

Another well scripted, properly presented tutorial that makes the point clearly and succinctly. Very attractive model with loads of personality, although she has difficulty looking evil (which is not a bad thing...) Point is, the model works well with the photographer to convey the point of the tutorial, matching her expression to narrative, effectively demonstrating each point. Thanks . JT

[@TheSlantedLens]

Yes, she did a great job and she was great to work with!

[@walteraddie7925]

Thanks for this video. I think it answers why I have not been quite satisfied with using gels. I was not factoring in the emotion aspect. I will now!

[@drumman132]

Well done. Clearly explained. Nice to see you go beyond the "how" but into the "why" you would use light in an expressive manner.

[@TheSlantedLens]

[@thomasvasquez9758]

Great video, love the explanation and the demonstration of lighting placement. I think my subjects are to close to the background making more difficult to control each individual light. How far away is your subject from the background in this video?

[@eddiebaby1982]

What a great video, thank you!

[@JeffFortinTam]

Great overview, though it doesn't solve the question I've been seeking an answer to... Could you do a video specifically on gels and why they still matter in this day and age where you can use layer blending modes in GIMP or Photoshop (or whatever digital retouching tool) to change the colors? I have a hard time grasping why I couldn't just shoot everything with uniform lighting/temperatures and then change the colors of certain areas in post. Very few (if any) people touch upon this subject.

[@TheSlantedLens]

Hey Jeff! I actually just posted a lesson on gels that you should check out! bit.ly/2tnWqCA

Apart from that how to match window sunlight to the indoor one n bring the foot candle of sunlight equal to ni indoor light set up plz

Absolutely love this kind of content, anything that can educate on the cinematic language is critical viewing.

Good to hear. Thanks for your feedback!

[@dizzicz]

How these videos (together with separation with light) have only so few views?

[@BariumCobaltNitrog3n]

Any tips for shooting a big bald head besides baby powder to cut the glare?

[@TheSlantedLens]

Flag the light with a net to let less light onto the bright area.

[@BariumCobaltNitrog3n]

@@TheSlantedLens Great! I just watched the video on flags and nets and I didn't see the explanation of the silky flag, how it changes the light. Diffusion maybe?

Your model is having way too much fun. ;) This could easily be expanded to a one hour tut to deal with much of the stuff you hint at, or to simply expand on what you are saying. Bring her back and all the watchers will crash the servers. ;)

[@sabymondal]

Good content on lighting! Just a couple of comments (only because I liked this video): 1:18 You are talking to us (the audience) while looking at a different direction! At a different camera! It snaps the communication! Also, when you switch between cameras, it needs to be meaningful with certain purpose, otherwise it becomes distracting! When you are talking, it is already quite entertaining, attention-grabbing, so no need of switching between cameras when you are just talking!
