Dope! I’m going to try this next time. I ended up getting a AD300pro with a link through one of your Instagram stories. That flash is perfect.

[@AugustRae85]

I used my Einstein modeling lamp for portraits yesterday. Thanks for this.

[@fjhphoto]

Glad to help. That light has a nice bright adjustable lamp.😊

[@anafusion]

Thank you, this was highly educational!

[@JohnMacLeanPhotography]

I'm kind of old school and like the longer lens look of 11:33 Another benefit of the modeling lamps, LED specifically, are the ones that have variable color temperature sliders, so you can match to the scene if desired. I was using strobes with 250w halogen lamps back in the 80s thru till about 5 years ago. There wasn't nearly as many options. On the red wall shots, I'd be inclined to put a grid on the octa to keep the spill off the wall, but again personal choice. Thanks for your insightful BTS and excellent work of final examples.

[@banta1978]

Good info!!! Never thought about using the modeling lamps for portraits.

[@smilesmilefotos]

Thank you for the message and the teaching

[@kombizz]

Thank you for sharing this essential knowledge in portrait photography. I found you thru your site in instagram where you show different stages of taking each of your images which shows other photographers briefly how you create a beautiful portrait shot. Therefore not only do I follow you in Instagram, but also I follow you here. It would be nice that in some of your videos, you talk about the price of these lights, so people similar to me get good ideas about which one would be suitable to their budget.

Thank you!😊

Great video Francisco, I'm going to try this on my next night shoot, thank you so much!!!

[@joy-nq5sc]

You have inspired me in the world of photography

[@chengolivier]

Great video! What about the color and temperature of the modeling lamp, specifically in the Godox products you mentioned? What white balance do you use when shooting outdoor with the modeling lamp? I use an AD400Pro and V1 and I noticed when using the flash light my photos don’t come out quite the same with and without the modeling lamp, have you encountered this kind of continuous light “leak” which seems to not shut down quickly enough when flash triggers?

[@hridaysutradhar3953]

good Information 😍😍😍

[@Godegypt27]

Nice vid as always

[@joeep46]

Thank you for this video. Can this type of light be used for indoor headshots ,day light hours .

[@NasimirCorneretto]

Tnx

Super 👌👌👌👍👍💐💐🏆🏆 நன்றாக இருக்கிறது👌👌👌

[@lnalexander]

I have been following you for a while now and absolutely LOVE your videos. You are so detailed and easy to follow. But I notice you do a lot of work with only one person. Can you do some some videos on couples. I do a few engagement shoots and always try to incorporate your thoughts into my photography but it don't always work. I use a ad 300 hoodoo light with a 70in circular softbox. On a 7D mk ii. Can you do more couple shoots please!

[@jeffjhcom]

I have the studio Godox SK400ii v, it has a good modelling lamp on there, are the modelling lamps on strobe lights only designed to be used for short periods? is it ok to leave it on for 10 mins of shoots? or is a dedicated constant light more ideal? Thanks, Jeff

[@smilesmilefotos]

I'm a photographer based in Lagos Nigeria

[@h3xt0r63]

you should do a shoot with the apture studio light and use an alien bee battery to power it. because why not. LOL

[@fjhphoto]

Lol old school gear🤣

[@sharkusify]

Great shots as usual. What size softbox is the key?

[@miket.1933]

Hi Francisco, I really enjoy all of your videos. Is the modeling lamp on the Godox AD200pro strong enough or would you recommend to get the AD300 if I plan to do shoots like your night shoots a lot of times? gracias

[@smilesmilefotos]

How do you manage to go about your photography shoot

[@carlmazziotti221]

Any thoughts on the rotolight? Just thinking perhaps having the capability of modeling and burst. I'm 100% godox but seen the value of a rotolight in low light situations.

[@blinkfan339]

Good point about the pupil size. What's the smallest Godox light that has a modelling lamp? The V1?

[@Smoothblue90]

The new AD100 has a modeling lamp but I think I read it's only like 1.8 watts. I think the AD400 pro right now has the most wattage modeling lamp.

[@blinkfan339]

@@Smoothblue90 Fair enough, but the 400 is over twice the price where I am. Guess I'll stick with getting an ad200 and give up on the lamp.

[@keepingtherubberdown5715]

So, I get why to use the modeling lamp on the flash. I have never used it but, my question is does it stay on for the shoot or when you snap your photo does it turn off the flash turn on and then modeling lamp back on? Am, I missing something? Thanks

[@realamericannegro977]

Modeling lamps usually stay on for the older strobes but the power doesn't effect the flash exposure since its weaker than flash.

[@thatoletsheleproduction.2306]

the name of the song at the end please

[@RonnieOPhotography]

If all I have is a V1 will that still work to get the same look for studio portraits or outdoor shots?

[@SR337]

I have a question for everyone, is it possible to start a photography business with a Canon EOS 5D Mark IV or Canon EOS 90D?

[@fjhphoto]

Absolutely. I've seen people start with much older equipment.

[@karshi1290]

I’m using 600d I have a studio

[@harshvardhanthombre6277]

Can you make dedicated video on softboxes I'm planning to buy ad300 But I'm confused in softbox

[@fjhphoto]

Sounds like a great idea! I'll make it.😊

[@OldGamerPapi]

What was the light at 1:00?

[@DrexelGregory]

It’s so weird to me that the lights are placed so close to the subject. Doesn’t it get inside the shot if you want to show off some of the background?

[@alirezabehzad5832]

Hi Francisco Happy New Year I have 6000 thousand and i want to buy Sony a7riv sigma 35 f1.2 , sigma 135 f 1.8 Please tell me your opinion or help me to what i buy . Thank you so much.

[@Juliano301280]

Como eu queria saber entender ingles! :(

[@urbankixxfilming3451]

basically at night the modeling lamp is better than the flash when doing high speed ?

[@dreamcrafterx]

bro what about changing the hairstyle? just saying

[@ENELAIRE5831]

[@realamericannegro977]

You get cleaner photos using strobes with modeling lamps
