That's the best I tried something similar, but I can understand it clearly after watching the video

[@theguru143]

Okay you two, I'm starting to think we have a love/hate relationship, lol. I LOVE the format you've been doing lately with showing your work, then fully giving the way you did it and the settings. That is MUCH improved over your format from years ago. That's the "love" part. I HATE that every video you release I'm wanting more and more gear. Okay, I don't hate it, but my wife gets annoyed with me : ) I would like to thank you for all the inspiration and teaching because I'm finally moving from using it in a hobby setting and planning to use it in a boudoir photo shoot this coming weekend. Not for all the photo set, but for a few unusual ones. As always, thank you for all you do *hugs*

What kind of light is ? What is the name of the light? Thanks

[@Ericpare]

This is a "'Sugar holosquare" and a flashlight. Check out this link: www.holosquares.com/

Hey I'm a fan of this concept of photography, I'm definitely going to try this out, but finding the holographic paper is hard. I have looked at your website but the shipping costs are so high for just sending a few sheets of paper. Better idea, I order 2 sets in the same package, this reduces the cost a bit. Unfortunately, the shipping costs are doubled.

[@Ericpare]

hey Seth! Thanks for pointing that out. This is definitely a mistake on our end. I just sent you an updated order. Let me know if this makes more sense.

[@sethsas582]

Hi Eric thanks for the update, I've replied to your email ​@@Ericpare

I need to train more. I get crispy sharp shots at 2 seconds with my dog, but we fail at 6 seconds. Also my painting sucks 😂

[@puretechno08]

Nice !

[@mirjamjansen350]

Wauw! 🤩 Did you use the plastic or paper HoloSquares for this?

[@Ericpare]

paper! I use the plastic one mostly when I'm outdoors (plastic is resistant to water and humidity)

[@mirjamjansen350]

@@Ericpare thx.

[@brodyhall6646]

Always awesome! Talking about the cat... the video was good too! :)

[@Ericpare]

😆😆😆😆😆😆😸😸😸😸😸😸

[@manueldifranco3519]

This looks difficult controlling the bouncing of light, i have a hard time between not having enough luminance on the trail versus getting too much rebounding light. How many of these you made are duds?

[@Ericpare]

good point! I need to make 20 to get a single good one 😭😭 We're in the same boat ;)

[@sgproductions9959]

You are very creative, and you are a pleasure to look at. Thank you for yours videos!

[@SteveUKITphotos]

Wow! That is so good. Ok.. ok.. you guys got me going again.. now; where did I put my torch...❤🤗

[@Ericpare]

haha thanks Steve! The torch is in your hand!!! USE IT!!!! :::::::)))

[@SteveUKITphotos]

...I'm already at it, my dear friends. Thanks to you two, you are a fountain of inspiration. My studio is tiny but I'll see what I can come up with to show you. Thanks again. 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

[@Michel_Vanaken]

"I can do that too" ... 🙄😂🤣

[@hunter.valentino]

I love these so much! Are you using a strobe or flash to light the subject or just over head lighting?

[@Ericpare]

thanks! No, never! Look how the light on her face and body matches the trace of light. That's the satisfying part of that technique :::))

[@hunter.valentino]

@@Ericpare Yeah! I see what you mean now. How fun man! Super aesthetic! I'm going to buy your gear and get started :))))

[@pskourides]

Super video, many thanks

[@andreaboyle9435]

Oooh, gives me ideas! Need to test them out once weather gets better! 😁😍😁

[@scorpionshades8092]

THANK YOU, IT WILL BE MY INSPIRATION.
