I'm leaving this comment here so after a month or a year when someone likes it, I get reminded of this tutorial ❤

[@Ronny_van_Gerwen]

It already had 19 ❤️, so I will leave a comment

[@Theoldronin47]

It’s a year later, this is your reminder

[@PolarisClubfan]

This is a kind reminder of this amazing tutorial 😊

[@edredBryan]

You have my vote…great idea!😊

[@mikegregory8353]

Brilliant video. Where do you get Delores? Any differences in the light for B&W shooting?

[@Kshitija-Ramita34463]

Might need to try some of these lighting tweaks too since kahma only does so much.

[@seemamiah]

This is the best 'how to' for headshot photography I have watched, and that's including all the online paid courses I've subscribed to! Thank you so much Mark.

[@MarkMcGeePhotos]

Great to hear! Thank you!

[@Photo_doctor]

This guy is so honest and humble.. even with his camera for taking his selfies

[@Humpflicks]

With a multitude of videos on this subject on the net, you have been able to narrow it down to some basic essentials that will benefit many start up photographers. Myself included. Well done. Suscribed.

[@MarkMcGeePhotos]

Great stuff, thanks!

[@ActorFlautista]

This is by the BEST DIY video online! Simple and straightforward.

I take shots of myself, and there are some great tips in this tutorial! 👌

[@mwasdidancestar5844]

The best content for beginners, I really love this... Kindly do a part 2 in 2023 longer video

[@hervebellenger7092]

Awesome, because you really master your lights congrats

[@deewonda1952]

Thank you! While I'm familiar with these setups, I haven't used a beauty dish before. Presently, I use a Canon 5D Mark II with an 85mm f1.2 for my headshot work and I'm working to invest in a mirrorless with eye focus this year! Again, thank you!

[@TheGreyBrunette]

This is pure gold! I've just bought my first light and softbox and I've been struggling to figure out how best to use thenm. Your video popped into my feed at the perfect time. Thank you so much!

[@imerriweather1]

I've seen lots of vids going over the same topic but I really enjoyed his presentation style. Two thumbs up!!!

[@DamienJemison]

Dolores!! Subscribed for that reference alone. Plus your content is A+. Thanks for the great videos.

[@TheRickardJaeger]

Great tutorial! The flash at the back of the subject was new to me! Nice!!

[@Leviathan_070]

Hey man, thanks for this video, I used the same setup for a self portrait and the light look amazing!!!! thanks

[@MarkMcGeePhotos]

Great to hear, Eugenio!

[@PABGames]

Wow that last light set-up was fantastic! Photos look great 😳

[@sovereignacademyfortheperf4591]

DOPE. Best yet by far. Detailed, does not assume prior knowledge but does not dumb down the content (which is empowering and brilliant on your part), and gleefully straight to the point (no waste of my time). You’re a humble, brilliant, and funny guy that has just made my life easier, so many thanks. 🙏🏾 Subscribed.

[@vostok2360]

This is amazing, going to try it out when I get a flash.

[@karenkaptures]

Okay, i just learned a lot and i appreciate that. I want to do headshots in general, so i really need to add a backdrop to my gear list at some point.

[@Shyamalima-Ranjini592]

Never thought about using a self-timer, gonna have to try that.

[@dominiccruz1201]

A great tutorial. I bought a Canon and I have no idea how to use it. I'd like to try to use your suggestion hoping to improve on my work. Thanks for sharing.

[@thatsbronte]

This video was AMAZING! Thank you.. loved going behind the scenes and your explanations were spot on. Brilliant.

[@aw1091]

You channel is amazing your work is absolutely beautiful. Do you have any videos on how you would edit the shots you took of yourself? Thank you soooo much😊!!!!

[@lokitomanny]

Very well done, perfect balance between the given amount of details and the speed of the video, very enjoyable to watch plus all the good information given, you nailed it.

[@MarkMcGeePhotos]

Thanks for that!

[@zacrains7545]

Looking forward to have a headshot session this weekend, many thanks for this!

[@silentsylo9053]

This was a FANTASTIC video!! very informative and one i will definitely be referring to often

[@djtoman6875]

This was more of a portrait than headshot session. But it was really fun and interesting, and the shots came out great. You're a natural on either side of the lens.

[@manuelfigueroa894]

Thanks will practice this this next weekend. Honey get ready!

[@adriannaalba2649]

THIS WAS SO GOOD! Thank you so much. As a beginner most of the tutorials seem like they are spoken in another language. THis was straight to the point and easy to understand. Again, thank you so much.

[@eladiasala8217]

you have given me a lot to think thanks .... from venezuela

[@atanas-nikolov]

Man, I learned more from this video, than in about 10 videos on portrait photography from professional photographers. Well, you too are professional, but also a great educator.

[@lhill93]

I am fairly new so I will save this and when I have acquired another couple hundred dollars to purchase all of this equipment I can try this. Currently have the camera, the two lenses, a parabolic soft box, speed light and 600w strobe. 🤷🏾‍♀️

[@Nathan_as_Always]

This was an awesome watch with some super helpful tips. Earned a sub my friend!

[@CorneliusCreations]

Fantastic tutorial!

[@GiannisVeronis]

[@davec28]

Excellent !! I'm glad I discovered your channel - easy, simple to digest tutorials which fuel inspiration. Thanks !

[@MarkMcGeePhotos]

Thanks Dave and welcome!

[@lyndseya239]

Wow! Really enjoyed that tutorial!

[@ebsrpdb]

I'm from costa rica and i'm a really amateur photgrapher!! you inspire me to continue shooting

[@jonathantyler8106]

I enjoyed watching this tutorial. However, I have a question. I don't have the beauty dish like you have, but I do have a backdrop frame, similar to the one you used for the grey background. I have a black backdrop to put on it. I also have a few strobes (Godox TT600), a snoot, and a couple of strip boxes with honeycomb, also similar to what you have here. My question is if it is possible to get similar lighting using the strip lights in place of the beauty dish as the key light? I do want to try using one of my large umbrellas (I don't have softboxes aside from the strip boxes) as they key light with one of the strips behind like you did. I will hopefully be able to practice this soon.

[@AnthonyFloresCPA]

I started laughing at minute 1:01. That is SO much stuff! I think you’ll stay healthily employed!

[@narimavalwalla3114]

Now that you have shown us, I'll do my own Portraits. Your Videos are Fantastic.

Wicked tutorial Mark, cheers.

[@londonken]

Very good tutorial, learnt a lot.

[@gilcarag274]

Pretty cool video ! And now I’m just wondering why I don’t use more often all the equipment I bought over the years…. I think I’m going to put to the test the Godox v1 I bought end of last year. 😊

[@AdrianaBellani]

Thank you for sharing great tips. Where can I buy the Pixapro lighting system you use? I also have a Sony 7iii. I can't find Pixapro anywhere. Thank you!

[@etranthanhhieu4164]
