Excellent and instructive. Thanks for sharing such deep and varied knowledge. Tony is such a class act who gives and gives... and nice job, Joe!

[@rmaheshiyer1109]

Great way to learn from the experts, who are willing to share and we need to be willing to learn, as this is an art as much as science of the camera. Thank you both for this easy paced lesson in lighting, which can be applied anywhere.

Really really good, thats the way i think about photography. Thx for bringing this!

[@kgopinathan2148]

Thanks Tony and team it's informative and educative.

[@romiemiller2485]

I have that meter. With a strong side light, such as sunlight coming through a window, The meter needs to be directed at the window for the main light and the strobe or speedlight becomes the fill light. That's because the strong window light is about 90 degrees off center. So, even though the light hits the dome, not enough light hits it.

[@NeilSnapePhotography]

Love your videos, I have learned a lot, even after 30 years of shooting. I was a little surprised though considering you worked on the Fine Light series with the master of teachers Dean Collins, that the hands examples was showing light on a shiny surface. Shiny surfaces are about the reflection of the surface of the light. Dean often said you don't expose stills for the light falling on the subject but the source. The result then is a combination of the light falling on the hands, but the highlights are indeed specular highlights of the surface of the soft box in this case.

How do you hook up camera to laptop to see the current shot in Lightroom on the fly? Thks,

[@leeo.alexander2324]

Our photo club, Wichita Wildlight Photographic Society (WWPS), Lawton OK, is scheduled to have Tony Corbell to teach his "one light" technique on 16 Apr 2016. We are looking forward to picking his brain and learn what lighting is and what it can do to improve our photographic skills.

[@natedogly]

Enjoyed it thanks!

[@terrissbrown3134]

first time seeing this. Lot of information I didn't know.

[@altar7885]

Thanks a lot for the video I'm a little confused though. There is a spot light, and then a flash light on top of that? What are the pros of flash lighting vs continuous?

[@BJEPhoto]

altar7 Pros of flash lighting vs continuous... + Freeze motion + More power for less cost + Smaller and lighter for the same power + Batteries last longer for the same power + Colour-balanced Despite all that, it's probably best to start with continuous lighting; you can see the light and that will allow you to learn faster. More photography info on my channel.

[@Ken5imaging]

Awesome! Thanks!

[@fredoriol9933]

Thank you so much

[@ederlei_alcantara]

How the name of the blog and how can I read that. Sorry 😬

[@tonysboris1]

If you don't have a light meter, could you just take the camera and stand next to a model and meter that way? Meter from the model instead of to the model?

[@SirDoctorofTardis79]

No, sadly. Your camera takes a reflective meter, measuring the amount of light being reflected from an object (great for landscapes). You need an incident meter to meter how much light is coming from your source. Hope that helps!

[@thethirdman225]

Hey Tony, what do you think of octaboxes?

[@Marckymarc71]

+TheThirdMan He loves them. Check out his other vids. :)

[@sayeeduzzamankonok]

Nice video if he his book I want to buy

[@sayeeduzzamankonok]

Nice video

[@romiemiller2485]

The problem with Headley is that he's a zone 5, medium grey. Skin tones are a zone 6, one stop above medium grey. A styrofoam head is OK if it's spray painted one shade lighter than Headley.

[@CHF2003e]

One light + a reflector makes sense. If one can do things in a simpler way, Why makes them complicated----The principle of thumb...

[@MrBigwill77]

That Grenade Coffee Mug tho!

[@romiemiller7876]

The store's out of it's head?! :-) * Paint the head a "zone 6" gray, IE, one stop lighter than a medium gray. That will approximate the tone of skin on the gray scale.

[@ChoicesHabitsAttitudeLuck]

jump to @17:40

[@oneamongall8861]

Round of Applause and Drum rolls please...:)

[@blackjohnny0]

These are ok photos, but i think harsh light is cooler than soft light. Just dont use softboxes. Old masters werent using them.

[@newton19861]

Some of the photos didn't match up with what you showed before you took them. 47:54, you show him sitting in a chair as the previous picture, but earlier you mentioned shooting him in a chair before you started recording. Even a few images takes when the flash never went off, and you showed lit images right after that and they were lit nicely.

[@sheasutherland3142]

There's one image that didn't match up with what they took but the point was still concisely made. As far as not seeing the flash discharge that would be due to the frame rate of the video.

Unfortunately studio photography is dying just as quick as the towns & villages that the supermarket rot has killed England.People no longer have local money recirculating in the areas for clients to afford a Photographer.
