One Light Portraits Using Bounce Light For Stills & Video

[@jer3006]

This is becoming one of my favorite ways to light portraits in my hobbyist home studio. However, your video shows I can really improve HOW I'm bouncing the light. Thanks for the techniques, tips, and explanations that will make me a better light-bouncer. This was a great topic!

[@TheSlantedLens]

Glad it was helpful and great to hear you have already been working with bounce light!

I have recently decided to take a huge gamble and pursue photography full time as a 30 year old starting from nothing. I think I have a good eye, but I’m a complete beginner. Your channel is a savior. I’m learning so much from you-thank you so much for not gatekeeping this information and putting it in a format that feels comfortable to listen to and easy to understand.

It’s so awesome to have a lighting tutorial done with continuous light and video. Much more informative than just seeing finished portraits shot with a strobe.

[@TheSlantedLens]

Glad you found it helpful and informative. Thanks for your comment!

Brilliant! In my journey I had got to more and more complicated setups with my lighting using 3-5 lights, with gels, softboxes, umbrellas, snoots etc and often it felt like thats the way to do it as otherwise its not "professional" but going back to minimal really helps re-set the mind on approaches and is a great reminder of what can be achieved especially if like me on a budget and with minimal space available so bouncing plus some hard directional in some combinatinos can be fantastic for portraits & fashion

[@TheSlantedLens]

Well said! Thanks for your comment!

[@fletcherdavies8749]

Simple but very effective use of bouncing light in relation to angles.

[@TheSlantedLens]

Thank you. Hope you learned some good tips!

[@lucschoonjans4540]

This was very informative indeed. I thought I knew bounced light but now I realize that I only knew very little. BUT having these lighting diagrams updating in real time was really the icing on the cake. Great video

Wow nice lighting

[@TheSlantedLens]

Thank you, and thanks for watching!

[@eltonfoster]

Great video! There’s any situation that you choose bounce into a card instead use a softbox?

[@TheSlantedLens]

Yes, there are many situations. If the room is really tight I may bounce off the wall or the ceiling. If the soft box light looks to harsh I will bounce it.

[@Michaelajacksonfilms]

Thank you

They are all talent from the Los Angeles area.

[@mikedahmm5482]

@@TheSlantedLens Do I need to move out to LA. Just kidding But I do really enjoy all your videos Wish I had more talent but I’m fairly good

[@jsavak99]

What kind of strobe is that?

[@TheSlantedLens]

It was an LED. The Aputure 300x.

[@Pissarrio]

Now if you could show us using same techniques in an interview setting with 2 or 3 people in the frame. Also if you could show the same lighting set up with a GEL, etc....
