Look 20 Years Younger- the Softest Face Lighting

Older people need more glamour lighting than the typical young KZbinrs who are in their 20s and 30s. This tutorial shows the basics of understanding how to use proper lighting to hide wrinkles, aging, saggy skin and even how to fill out the face more so it doesn't look gaunt and shriveled. Stay tuned for more instructional basics on lighting tricks, including affordable methods that cost almost nothing- not using softboxes or stupid ring lights. Again, this video adresses lighting BASICS. Just because softboxes are used in this video, does not mean you need lots of softboxes to get a similar look. Watch this video to learn more- • How to Take Better Fam... and stay tuned for more videos on how to get great results for very little cost.

Cara is a trooper. My wife would never let me show any photos of her in unflattering light. taking her picture for a passport was like a headshot session!

[@devsauce]

What I love about this channel is that Markus just shares his knowledge without trying to sell me any products, courses, etc etc. Thank you 🔥

[@antonsiberian]

And no Squarespace integration in every video, as other KZbinrs doing 😅

[@haraldthi]

Not to mention the flat out "I don't like this" when others at least try to be diplomatic about the gear that has been sent to them. This kind of honesty is underrated, to say the least.

[@HollywoodConnection-JAST]

@@haraldthi agreed 100%

[@Bullcutter]

And he is a pro, unlike most other photo channels here.

[@DMaria-ut7ko]

Cara is beautiful in any light. ❤️

[@TechTunerLife]

Markus is not your ordinary KZbinr! This man is a genius.. 💯💯💯

[@Wayne_Nero]

I agree, I am learning lots, thanks for this Video and your model is awesome 👍

[@andrewtucker1828]

Yea I'm trying to mention my town on these comments of theirs and get them to get a place near me in Manton California. I really respect them alot and I'm always trying to recruit top notch people online. Manton is one of the greatest places on Earth for healthy living. It's way better than vegas for quality of life, but I get it if u got lots of cash vegas is fun. Unfortunately in this covid world rural remote places with great weather n endless natural resources are for sure the future. These guys will probably live to a 100 or longer so we might as well find a sustainable offgrid place if we're going to live a long life from now.🌞

[@StefanMischook]

169 yr old nerd KZbinr here, who has been working on lighting for a while .... I must say this was the best lighting lesson I’ve seen. And especially valuable for me given my age. ;)

[@MarkusPix]

Wow you should be in the Guinness book of records!

[@StefanMischook]

@@MarkusPix I can't go public that way ... as you know, there can only be one.

[@hiddengemsliteraryemporium]

Agree!!!

[@woodelf71]

Highlander?

[@alantuttphotography]

Cara deserves many awards for allowing you to do this. Totally worth it for us, though, as it clearly shows the difference between lighting styles. With a lot of my work (live events with a variety of presenters), I tend to add a retouching plugin into the post processing, which also removes a lot of imperfections.

[@RealMattCook]

Love your work here. Showing what works.

[@eatsimplefood]

She is so patient with you, you lucky bastard ;) great video thanks to Cara especially :)

[@HollywoodConnection-JAST]

Agreed, Cara is such a pro and so easy on the eyes in any lighting.

[@SteveVickAK]

Thanks. As a 50 year old KZbinr this is much appreciated.

[@MileyonDisney]

Great info! Thanks! And a big thank you to the beautiful Cara for putting herself out there for the world to see. Sure, she's not 20 years old anymore, but she still looks much better than many of the 20-year-olds I see on KZbin. Thank you both!

[@chrisw2050]

Wow! Just wow! I have to commend you and especially Cara (as the model) for putting out this video. As quirky and most importantly (as real) as it is, this has been one of the most informative videos about lighting I have seen on KZbin. Your very honest and direct approach is, I think, what did it for me. It really drove the point home in a very straight forward manner. I never realized how much lighting affects the overall look of the subject. Thank you both for providing such great and informative content. 🙏🏾

[@mrjohnbaseley]

Appreciate you leaving a nice comment. I really like these people as well.

[@sonialo777]

Every video.... you bless us with new useful knowledge

[@brownboy6844]

Cara is The Best!! You guys show the blessing that marriage truly is ... and such a sport with you TRYING to make her look less than beautiful, My congratulations to you sir, not for another fantastic video but for being the love of a woman like her... that is quite an accomplishment.

[@shoevegan6113]

Cara looks gorgeous also when she doesn't smile. I didn't know there was lighting from below.

[@NunoxFerreira]

You guys are just GORGEOUS and most of us in the 40's, wish to look like that right NOW!! 🤗

[@zoomboy57]

This is an outstanding tutorial on lighting. Having spent a large portion of my career shooting fashion and glamour in Milan and LA and at times using up to 40 lights it's not about Photoshop it's always has and always will be about the Light

I'm thinking of adding a poster of you on my wall. I learn more practical advice from you guys in one video than I do from 10 videos from the "other guys."

[@natalied9592]

Hi Marcus, I wanted to say how much I love this tutorial. It was excellent that you really broke everything down and showed each step for multiple techniques. My father and I are filmmakers, I directed my first feature film at 17 years old and I wrote my first feature script when I was 19. It took me 8 days to write it! I just watched your other “Who am I?” KZbin video and it’s amazing what you have done and the fact that you’re trying to give your expertise to everyone! It’s inspiring me. My father and I fund our own films and between both of us have 15+ feature length scripts, and we are basically in-house one-Stop filmmakers. We are doing animatics for our latest feature film. We do everything from the voice overs to the editing to the sound design to the film composition all of it haha. It would really be just fun to to collaborate with you or just talk to you if you would want to 🙂 Also one more thing: She looked beautiful in every single lighting shot lol Even though I know that I know the purpose is to show "20 years younger" lighting look but I wanted to say that anyway haha

[@astralshore]

100% honesty: I liked the 'youtube lighting' setup the best. But that's just because I like a natural look and because I feel that a beautiful woman shouldn't have to hide her age. But that's just a personal preference and not a judgment: I totally understand why you would feel different. Either way the effects of the different setups is super evident and you explained it masterfully. I have great respect for your generosity in giving this knowledge away freely, and you both seem like amazing people!

[@sparty837]

Wow, the change in cheek bones is amazing

[@PMV2012]

[@kennygo8300]

The love of my life turns 60 this week. Maybe now I can get her to stop hiding from my camera.

[@schmoldovia]

i'm 61 ... and i've been told there is a lot more to come... in front of and behind the camera... as soon as we can take away the masks and show our wrinkles

[@nooch8692]

I have consumed hundreds of hours of photography tutorials and done dozens of professional headshot shoots. Though you may not want to copy this exact look, the nuggets of fundamental truth in this video are a game changer.

[@peterguava]

Well this might be the most beautiful wrinkles I saw so far. Aging is a part of our live and they often make a person more interesting than this soft glow faces. But of course I get the point/ this is what people want. Thank both of you.

[@MiaHessMusic]

I don't want the folks on YT to see my neck wrinkles. I get a lot of criticism for that

[@lisalikesplants]

This is the only video I've seen about lighting women over 40- a little overwhelmed with 5 softboxes but I'm glad to hear something honest. Most of the lighting on KZbin has been given by young men lighting themselves on one side. ☺️

[@MarkusPix]

You don't need 5 softboxes lol, but one bedsheetor umbrella for sure... or at least 2 small lights at 45 degrees from face above forehead level

This WHOLE channel has been AMAZINGLY helpful and I have shared it with my camera friends, and I am now trying to figure out sound so I am VERY VERY much looking forward to your video on sound equipment.😃😃😃😃😃😃
