[@ajbley99]

Another great tutorial from Phlearn!!! Always a huge help!!

[@mambi74]

thanks for going over the lighting set up/diagram! helps a ton to visualize the entire idea behind the photoshop editing. another great job as always!

[@ForsythJC]

Awwwww, I love the ending with your mom!

[@BinniamEskender]

Haha, yo moms cracked me up at the end...great tutorial like usual!

[@MrBaldmanTT]

I love looking back to some of your earlier videos!

[@kingmuhu]

Awesome. You should do more of this! Thanks.

[@WilliamLesourd]

It’s old (2019), but is still useful and fun to watch. Love your mum...

[@pivotsweeter]

Yes, loved it :) was looking for this a looooong time :)

[@Maxippouce]

[@artat777]

Wow fantastic video

[@willjames7119]

Would be great to see a studio photo of the lighting setup

[@dynamitedixie]

Awesome tutorial. I love the part where you added more highlight to the face, I've been wanting to do that for some time as I want to avoid having flat-looking portraits. Thanks a lot!

[@rezasharifi1274]

[@shimarlie1]

Great stuff.....

[@leerikinada5818]

awesome!!!!!! I LOVE YOU PHLEARN!!!! there's a guy in my class also learn photoshop technology on phlearn ,too.many other students call him photoshop master of our class.and one day one of my Japanese classmates asked the teacher of digital technology class to teach him how to retouch the pics look like the ps master's cool work,what a shame that the teacher said分からない（i have no idea）

[@bnkakl]

love mama !! cho chweet

[@randomlypersonal]

I believe Winter is using an optical snoot to light the face. It gives those high contrast drop offs.

[@lizardinarabia]

Thank you very much!

[@hthazee]

awwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!! MAMA NACE!!

[@gregsheppard7773]

Main - 22" beauty dish with grid. Fill - ring light. Background could be a number of things, but a spot w/grid is what I use. That's it + the flags, but your placement is off. Kodak 8x10 neg film with some custom processing

[@bartekdabrowski8391]

Greg is right. From what I've seen, Dan is using one of those big ring lights as the fill. Check the shadow under Toms nose. If Dan had used a simple light source to light the ear in shadow, he wouldn't have lifted the shade under the nose.

[@soenaryomuliadi]

yeah you got my first comment dude! Congratulation!

[@Sintake_1]

awsome

[@montclairseetheworld]

How did you use your levels on the copied blue channel?

[@jingxiubian9236]

very good！

[@yuking9176]

很受用 谢谢

[@QuantumLegal]

Like the vid, less certain though that I would attribute light styles to anyone in particular - not like I haven't seem similar lighting styles long before. It's light, no one owns it.

[@jrusovich]

Yea, his comment was absurd. I use different lighting styles all the time depending on mood and circumstance. No one owns light. LOL

[@dpsx0016]

hey may i request something? try to recreate Justine Tjallinks's photography style¡¡ it's very beautiful

[@bnkakl]

awesome vid! along with the lighting diagram you could just add an image of the BTS also to help us :-)

[@jaegerschtulmann]

Opps a little late to comment on this, the catch lights on his eyes are too small: 1.-get the beauty dish a bit closer in the right angle or add a soft box or umbrella at the back for fill (3 stops darker) right to the camera and behind your key light. This will also help to soften your shadow loop on the nose. Nice tutorials though!

[@DrJamesT]

70-200 lens for a portrait why?

[@JosephCultice]

Hi Dan always use a ring light for fill, it's an allmost the only thing he knows. Look up Chris Callis, he asst him and that how he learned to light. just saying I worked for the same guy at the time.

[@LucidLiver]

Awww Mummy :3

[@kaizey]

UUUUGHHHH No Wix I don't need a damn website!! RAGE! (Btw thanks for all the great tuts!)

[@justinmckie4239]

At about 10 mins in, the whole RGB Add Levels / layer in white stuff was badly explained in my mind.

[@justinmckie4239]

I have been through other tutorials, so have got this now... I really like the style adjustment stuff like this.

[@paulrichardson5810]

Justin Mckie couldn't agree more. And it was like listening to an old 45 record sped up to 78.

[@hypertext66]

OMG Twins

[@klaas-jelmersixma6566]

Just curious, did you get a reaction of Dan Winters? Let me know!

[@eksine]

The lighting setup was all wrong, he was right when he said it was a 7" reflector with 10 degree grid, why he then abandoned that and went with a 2 light setup with a beauty dish nobody will know. the background was also another reflector, why he went with a stripbox doesn't make sense, either he didn't want to get sued or he didn't care. this tutorial was about fixing everything in photoshop, that's not the way to do it!

[@eksine]

+Bradk Smyth Bradk go back and look at Tom's portrait and then look at the supposed "identical" one they made, either you have bad eyesight or you don't know anything about lighting, they're recreation looks nothing like the original. the entire lighting is wrong, photoshop couldn't even fix it. this isn't complaining, this is someone who can tell the difference between a real Van Gogh and a fake, this is like a crayon coloring compared to the original portrait of Tom Hanks. technically aside, it looks like shit, to be technical

[@robertblackadar7246]

This photo was just supposed to be "inspired" by Dan Winters, not an exact copy of his lighting setup.

[@eksine]

Robert Blackadar it's not inspired, the title of the video says "recreate" which means to to redo, remake it, to create again

[@robertblackadar7246]

Throughout the whole video he says it's inspired by Dan Winters. And either way, when someone recreates something, it's not an exact copy of the original.

[@eksine]

Robert Blackadar It can be close and if the artist is great he can surpass the original. What was your point anyways? I don't even understand why you brought this up.

[@nielsvolders9190]

Dan Winters uses photoshop, he scans his negatives and edited them in photoshop!

[@DrStoCazzo]

in fact it would be strange if he didn't, most photographs are shot with post prodeuction in mind after all

[@jrusovich]

Correct and well put. Back in the day, I scanned all my negatives and threw everything into PS for exhibitions. Nothing new there.

[@Xi-phar]

Came here to check his first video
