My New Favorite Light For Photography and Filmmaking

[@very-ratti]

Every video feels like a masterclass on lighting. I love that you have so little focus on the camera gear itself. You have your kit and you've mastered it. It's refreshing.

[@linusandhiscamera]

thank you so much!!

[@patjepeeyayo]

You're the only one who can make me pause everything and give your video my full attention.

[@linusandhiscamera]

dude thank you what?? so sweet

[@ollitumelius4608]

These are all bangers! It's not the light, it's you.

[@linusandhiscamera]

thank you so much man!!

[@geovannarivera2715]

when i tell i screameddddd at that gorgeous double exposure shot, also the way you just started playing with the light and the amazing results you got 1000/10

[@wilkinsswiger2306]

almost every frame of this video is unbeatable.

[@linusandhiscamera]

thank you so much wilk! love you

[@zora7658]

bro, I came for the light review and almost wanted to move on immediately because I thought it would be sponsored glaze. But, I am so glad I stayed, once you started taking pics I stayed for your talent more than the light! Insane work

[@rickwink]

Everytime you amaze us even more with your creative ways of using light and posing your models. Keep inspiring us Linus!🔥✨

[@linusandhiscamera]

than you fam!!

[@nightsbeatswitchgood]

that last setup with just the basic soft box... Ive spent so many years watching fashion photography breakdowns and it's so funny to sometimes pull back and realize a big soft key light is literally the only thing you need. no need for vflats, fill lights, rim lights or catch lights. plain and simple and it looks GOOD!!!! absolute favorite shot from this shoot is the one at 9:33. looks like a poster for an edgy early 90's psychological thriller with political undertones. somethin about running from the cops, cheap motels and with a pack of marlboros in his old man's leather jacket.

[@HerculesImages]

Linus, my favorite is the double exposure at 10:06, so 🔥

[@linusandhiscamera]

thank you!!

[@elliotwalker4182]

Is your friend Jim Morrison? Excellent video as always, endlessly inspiring!

[@linusandhiscamera]

haha he really does look like him. thank you!!

[@Oscariver]

Great video 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 How do you do the white balance with RGB colored lights?

[@linusandhiscamera]

thank you sm! the light has RBG and white mode

[@Calderonvideo]

good video, like how you combine old school (film) with new school (light). Also, its amazing how Aperture is so late to the party of cob rgb or full color lights, but they get all the attention. Hive / Arri lights had similar lights in the market for 10 years already.

[@carlosxaviermusic]

Super clean and creative work!

[@junoworldwide]

You absolutely killed it. Your calm to enthusiastic demeanor definitely helps with an amzing studio sesh. That double exposure was top-notch too!

[@linusandhiscamera]

thank you so much!!

[@ttoniross]

Dude, you look good. I imagine how happy you're when developing these photos. I love how you see things, I feel like, if I were your assistant I can learn a lot from you. Beautiful portraits as always. 👏👏👏🇵🇭

[@agustinalvarez4661]

Your art is amazingly beautiful, every time I watch your videos I get so inspired, makes me wanna go through rolls

[@linusandhiscamera]

thank you!! hope you shoot some film :)

[@trentandjessie]

Such a great video and those images are incredible! Amazing how much variety you could achieve in just two rolls. Love it 👏🏼

[@linusandhiscamera]

thank you!! so glad we got some good ones in 2 rolls lol

[@Coco-ct5ix]

What a fantastic vid - it felt like a class on lighting! Great job! Major props to the model - a wonderful collaboration! Zack looks like a young Willem Dafoe!!🎉❤

[@linusandhiscamera]

not the only person who thinks this!

[@Renzsu]

Yeah man, that hit all the spots. Great work! That last Pentax 67 image was my favorite as well. A bit of a bittersweet video as well for me, I used to have hair like Zach.. but 20 years later, and it's gone.

[@linusandhiscamera]

thank you so so much man!!

[@ericmenu5408]

Great ideas and superb results, you’re very talented and we’re very lucky that you share that content ! 🙌 film powaaaa !

[@linusandhiscamera]

thank you so much!! glad to make these videos!

[@weston4237]

Forgot to add: This is for sure one of my favorite videos you've done. LOVE all of this and I have a new inspiration and desire to try more constant lighting. Wah wah weeee wah!

[@linusandhiscamera]

thank you so much!!

[@solargehirn]

Such a joy watching you doing what you love!

[@trevvrun]

I love a big, beautiful, soft box.

[@linusandhiscamera]

LMAO

[@Jonahhjpg]

Linus is the king of creative lighting, There's no contest.

[@pontushenkel3366]

Absolutely sick photos 👌🏻👌🏻

[@IandeNoronha]

My gosh! You've nailed EVERY SINGLE SHOT! Incredible work my man! Subbed!

[@MooreVizions]

You have convinced me, I NEED THESE LIGHTS and MODIFIERS. BEAUTIFUL WORK!

[@kidcoma1340]

Love your results! In my opinion, these will undergo the same process that happened to Astera Titantubes... when those came out, everyone was putting them into the background of their music videos because it was a new look, then quickly people got bored by it (I already find my feed is slightly oversaturated with "spotlight" images). Then they proceeded to just be a nifty tool for more regular appliances, like making edge lights or practical lights. I can see how this Aputure LED could be my GoTo tool for simulating direct sun light with hard shadows.

[@is_your_name_bendrummin]

love your energy bro! Insane photos.

[@Sydney-headshots]

Looking at adding 4 of these lights for a big job I have coming up, and was blown away by your vid man. You've inspired some creative shoots out of me!!

[@tonysluna]

you got a "New Fan Sub"... 1st time i watch your video... I LOVE IT... amazing Video. What app you are using to calculate the exposure...?

[@linusandhiscamera]

Welcome to the channel!! My light meter pro is the name of my light meter app!!

[@Defiance151]

I love how stoked you get when you shoot! Thank you for an awesome video!! 🤘🏻

[@charlesworks6572]

WoW! I like your creative lighting ideas! Thanks!

[@sarahdevoti]

damn making me wanna try out this light! Love seeing your workflow in the studio, let him COOK!

[@linusandhiscamera]

we gotta get you one fr

[@wayanbarre]

The joy and passion that emanate from you are so pleasing.

[@余顯樺-l7k]

Just been planning a shoot, and BOOM this video inspire me big time!

[@linusandhiscamera]

I hope it goes well!!

[@martialonzo]

Another great video Linus! Thank you for sharing your process dude I really learn a lot from you

[@linusandhiscamera]

bro you're my GOAT

[@Chips-Lab]

Love your creative flow and how simply your share it. You very talented. Thank you. Can I ask what’s your fav app for light meter ?

[@linusandhiscamera]

thank you for watching! the app is my light meter pro

[@bdat]

Love this light. I rarely use my 150d cause it just does everything I want it to do for the most part. Also your photos turned out amazing, reminded me of a David Bowie album cover

[@linusandhiscamera]

awh man thank you so much!!

[@albertalexander3095]

very nice photos dude. inspiring

[@bastian8597]

Man you are TALENTED

[@BSinSeattle]

You should get a kickback cause I just bought this set up and a Neewer stand on Amazon after watching this. Take note Aputure- Thanks for the video.

[@arthurh.bezerra1272]

I've loved this vid, mate. Really inspiring for trying myself in studio. Keep rocking content, please. Love from Australia.

[@null4665]

This video is a lot better than other reviews as it shows the light in lots of different real use scenarios

[@scotttate1400]

This is a creative masterpiece in lighting shot on film. Your model is a dead ringer for Jim Morrison.

[@linusandhiscamera]

thank you so much!! and yes, zack looks so much like him

[@nikkibigger]

Such a good video! The light looks incredible and you made some amazing images :)

[@linusandhiscamera]

thank you so much nikki!

[@hellohogo]

Does the iris lock in? BTW I love seeing my city on youtube. I'm in the arts district.

[@gmosworld]

Dude you keep leveling up this is nutty

[@linusandhiscamera]

thank you so much man!! i appreciate you!!

[@raguram9343]

Imo no one does film photography that too studio one's like this other than you, great content bro

[@linusandhiscamera]

thank you so much!!!

[@KoolMeArtist]

omg i have the same lights and i've been playing around with them!! awesome video as always linus :D

[@linusandhiscamera]

thank you so so much!!

[@najmi.d]

wait a minute, so you light his face using projector?? thats dope. love this video man!

[@KikysVision-y6u]

Saw my boy Zach on the Thumbnail so you know I had to hop on! Amazing content Limus!

[@carsofmedicine]

Stellar video and shoot. You really showcased the ability of the light too

[@dhoomKetuKumar]

thanks a ton yo! i am going to redo this session. good compositions sire. i wonder if i'd be using a 80mm 6X6 on medium format how the frames pan out. very good episode sire.

[@Artspluto]

This is amazing! absolutely. Around 8:51, did the projector had double light with little yellow on the eyes and blue on the face ?

[@linusandhiscamera]

yes!

[@Kevin_Fallen]

Hey brother, great light but I actually went for the LA150R from Godox litemon, I believe it to be better for the price range and if people need a even stronger light they can go for the la300R

[@tailewis8210]

man, youre awesome! all hits no misses per usual question! how do you use your phone as a light meter? would love a quick breadown on that, or just an app name :)

[@Amandagooden]

Omg amazing! Thank you for sharing. I was wondering how you did it!

[@linusandhiscamera]

thanks for watching!!

[@borkborkbork]

I love the variety in the shots. Fantastic video bro

[@clmrsmn]

loved the vid and love when you can do that with a light. i modified a lens of mine to attach to one of those "tofu" lights so i can do this and project shapes with shapes behind the aperture, idk what its actually called

[@linusandhiscamera]

what!! that sounds so sick. would love to see what you're talking about!

[@Cats_and_Film]

Great video as always! How often are you pushing the brightness past 50%? Wondering if the 150 would be enough....

[@linusandhiscamera]

for the RGB stuff it's pretty usually at 75% or higher, but for white light i'm usually at like 50%

[@XAVE325]

Amazing!! Great video! Just got the 150c, what projector do you use or recommend?

[@Jmart786]

Really inspiring video, you are amazing at portraits. Have you ever worked with large format?

[@linusandhiscamera]

thank you sm! next week's video is on large format - my first time shooting 4x5! it does *not* go perfectly LOL but excited to get better

[@Jmart786]

@@linusandhiscamera what a coincidence! I just watched it, fantastic video, again it's super inspiring!

[@iragoesandsings]

you so adorable and your work is amazing,🐾! thanks for light from your heart 🌿

[@KAcastillo]

Awesome work! is the amaran 150c enough to do something like this?

[@vigo4ever]

Hey, what app do you use to take the temperature of the light on the model's face? Nide video man!

[@linusandhiscamera]

my light meter pro!

[@tasj-marimyers9011]

beautiful work and helpful video!

[@BenjiSchwimmerDance]

Great vid and incredible images. Which filter did you use to connect to the Amaran?

[@DLivingston]

you never talk enough. also they should have named the spot light "The Linus" because it's such a key part to your portrait work. All Love!

[@linusandhiscamera]

haha that would be sweeeet

[@sabinemetz]

This light feels like it was inspired by your work!!

[@anthonytmedia]

Awesome video my man! Quick question tho...wouldn't the Amaran 150c be enough in most cases? 🙈

[@mlcallegaro]

Amazing results bro. Congrats!

[@PikulBoy]

Wow, that double exposure... I mean, come on! You're killing it as a professional but also as a content creator!

[@linusandhiscamera]

thank you!! it is so hard to do both, espacilly when these videos are just being produced out of pocket, but i'm gonna keep it going!

[@alessandrodiforti8503]

Bro, you are incredible! Regards from Italy

[@TanyaSky]

What light stand are you using for amaran 300c? I bought one after watching your video and I can't pick a light stand for it that is affordable but safe to use ;;

[@linusandhiscamera]

firstly i’m glad you got one! what an amazing light. secondly, i actually don’t own a c stand or light stand - i always use the ones at the studios i shoot at!

[@TanyaSky]

@@linusandhiscamera Thanks for your response!

[@joyx81]

beautiful video congratulations. What type of app do you use to get the correct exposure? thank you 🙏🏾

[@roberto_lezama]

The projector idea was cool AF 🎉

I've been wanting to buy this light setup since I've first seen this video. Lol!

[@anastasiyazhuk4377]

hi, cool photos, what kind of projector is this that you are shining on his face?

[@WillKelly2020]

I was checking out reviews for the Amaran 300c and stumbled on your awesome video. Love your work and vibe, mate. Have subscribed and followed you on Instagram. You have also sold me on the light and am ordering one right now....haha. Looking forward to checking out many more of your videos. Peace. Will

[@kapibarakapibarovich5804]

Incredible work as always!

[@abdulsalam-oo4cj]

These are super cool. What tripod do you use for the RB67?

[@linusandhiscamera]

peak design tripod! link in the description! it's heavier than the carbon fiber one by PD which is good for big analog cameras, and the head of the tripod is the best one i've ever used for reframing photo or video with. just so compact, easy to use, and just so reliable

[@abdulsalam-oo4cj]

@@linusandhiscamera yea I saw how you were able to easily frame his face with the tripod head. Im definitely going to look into the it. Thanks for the speedy response

[@ekphotography]

Thanks, Nice one, what projector is that or do you recommend ? Thanks

[@brodtkunst]

Thanks for the video, the application possibilities are enormous if you can control the light. What about the fan? Is it audible when recording video in the studio in close proximity? Is the power reduced when the fan is switched off?

[@ryanmoorman7799]

double exposure shot goes crazy

[@linusandhiscamera]

thank you so much, ryan

[@khalideid8463]

Thanks for the cool video .. were u using it at full power ? Or around 50% ? And do u think the amaran 150c will be enough for this kind of photography? Thanks in advance

[@Wasp400]

Do you have a link of the full set of you Amaran 300d? Please

[@markgatus96]

Just discovered your channel and holy crap dude I'm so inspired! Thanks for sharing your knowledge :D

[@billyspocketlife]

Zach looks so cool

[@linusandhiscamera]

nice ass dude fr

[@xicoxk]

Hey ! Amazing. What is that projector and software???

[@linusandhiscamera]

just a general epson home cinema projector and photoshop!

[@PrinZsuN1]

Its crazy how good these images are... You are so good man. I would love to try something like this in the future but I have two question you could maybe help me with. Do you think in your case the Amaran 150c would be enough or did u need the power of the 300c ? And what model is your projector ? Thank you a lot for the Video... Peace and love from Germany

[@linusandhiscamera]

thank you! the 150 is probably good for most people! the 300c is helpful for analog that needs more light though

[@videolaricin8634]

men, crazy good this video! thanks for it.. you have my subs...

[@linusandhiscamera]

Thanks for the sub! Glad you're here!

[@lamodification]

Linus you used 2 amaran 300c's to get two colors on the models face and the Iris is not included and needs to be purchased extra. Right, other than the projector? 19° Spotlight-Lense or also tht 36° lens? Otherwise it's seems too much of an ad. pls clarify.

[@mickstarfighter]

Hi Linus, I LOVE the concept, creativity, beauty and style of your SUPERB - single and dual exposure - portrait photography on good old film and camera. I also mainly photograph on film (timeless BW), in square and on my old reliable V Hasselblad camera. Last but not least, your gorgeous model Zach has that irresistible feline and androgyne look that makes me think about young Jim Morrison, young Mick Jagger, or young Willem Dafoe but in a thinner and wilder style. Congratulations from Belgium to the perfect team of co-creators of Beautiful Art. Do you sell prints of your work Linus? Mick

[@ofthenearfuture]

That mans Chin tho lol but this was an incredible video! Let alone getting to see how you use light, and your photography workflow, the images you created were spectacular. Inspiring even, thanks.

[@sammathew2606]
