Photo Deconstruction: Gels on Location (But really in the studio!)

[@Popietro]

Thanks for the video and the clear explanations. But now I cry, I need a 3rd flash xD (Santa Claus if you read me...)

[@greatday2224]

Realy nice video , Lady Adler. Hi. From CapeTown, South Africa.

[@speliotis]

love your videos cant stop looking at your red lips !!!!

[@mariopachon8631]

gracias por la informacion.....boom dia

[@LightsOnMultiMediaMindArts]

I enjoy your work and your work flows quite a bit. Just to nitpick and I’m sure you know this: the opposite of red isn't green. It's cyan. The one thing that bothered me about your final image was the line of the back of the couch. It was close to horizontal, but not quite horizontal. Making it horizontal might have given the feel of stiffness, but left the way you did it feels like I want to nudge it level.

[@lindsayadlerphoto]

So there are actually a couple of color wheels! Which I always thought to be strange-- but they will actually have different colors match up from one another on the color wheel. So in some that is true. And sure, I totally see the horizontal part.:D

[@learnwithmeasala1536]

I love you Lindsay

[@atomickittea]

great job, thank you!

[@frontsideboard]

Thank you. It is so refreshing to see somebody who is all about the creative process and technique rather than gear and preset oriented. I really appreciate all the work you put into this.

[@sprtsrctr]

wow!!! amazing job!

[@dalemartin6828]

Lindsay you're something special 😊. Love your work! and the way you carry your self is 👌

[@carlosread5887]

What if you had placed a main light aimed at her face? (perhaps using a grid or barn doors) I also would have tried with a silver umbrella, instead of the white soft that you used, and used it as a hair and separation light. Not that I don't like your image, it is just imagining what the result would have been doing these changes. i am going to try it myself. Thanks again, Lidsay, you inspire me to experiment!

[@lindsayadlerphoto]

I actually shot this scene 4 different ways... each one gave me a cool and different result!

[@albertw251]

Excellent video and deconstruction as always!!

[@antoineb2271]

Wow! Thanks a lot Lindsay! You're like Santa for giving us such beautiful presents! But... you're real, so basically you're better than Santa! :D BTW I've always wondered how to attach gels to bare bulb strobes. I feel you're doing this a lot so you must have a super hiding technique (aka DIY maybe!) but I find this quite tricky since I'm afraid they kinda melt on the bulb... Thanks again for all those wonderful videos Regards from France!

[@lindsayadlerphoto]

I just use gaffers tape and bend them out so the gel isn't directly against the head. :D

[@lindsayadlerphoto]

And thank you. You are the cutest and sweetest. :D

[@antoineb2271]

Ah ! I thought it was this kind of mastermind trick! :D I'll try that as soon as I can! I love gel photography, so your "Gel photography week" is like a chief meal to me! I can't say thanks enough time. I'm on my way to watch your latest video! :D

[@k.abishekkarthick1568]

Love you mam!

[@aneesbata878]

Just love your work Miss. Adler.. keep doing such video's for us this keep us engaged to your channel and at the same time enthusiast us to do such work... Lots of love and Support

[@AliDrew]

I love seeing how you work with gels, thank you!!!

[@brettida5091]

Never normally use the transform tool in that way - Ill give it a try though now! thanks Lindsay!!!

[@kinguszapapusza]

Thank you, Lindsay! You are a great teacher! I've been admiring your photographic skills and your highly vibrant personality for a long time. (And that absolutely gorgeous mane of hair, I must add :) )

[@lindsayadlerphoto]

hahaha. :D

[@StewartWoodArt]

Awesome, I'm about to do a shoot of a spider on a model :)

[@lindsayadlerphoto]

omg!

[@jedisct1]

How are you attaching gels to barebulb profoto lights ?

[@lindsayadlerphoto]

They have the frosted glass in front (so I don't have to worry about them hitting the flash tube itself). All I do is use gaffers tape and slightly bow out the gel to not touch the front. That's it!

[@jedisct1]

Thanks a ton! That’s what I am doing but the frosted glass quickly gets really hot and I’m always scared that the gel may catch on fire.

[@uptownphotography]

Excellent as always Lindsay. It also makes me want to get a drink later at a night club. Shaken, not stirred!....well done................. Philip

[@wjohnson20]

Great work as always. Can you show us any full length shots that use gels?

[@lindsayadlerphoto]

Thanks! Just visit my website lindsayadlerphotography.com -- I have many!

[@x3thelast]

Damn it Lindsay, you’re making want a 3rd light?! LOL

[@MrJl4you]

Thx Linsay :) Really enjoy this series.

[@tonythomas5978]

Another great deconstruct video Lindsay, thanks for sharing your thought process and how it all comes together. Keep em coming pls :-)

[@peterguman7298]

Always clear and concise instructions, very creative. wish I had all the lighting equipment to work with! thanks.

[@photorekastudio8528]

Thanks for sharing. Really like the lighting, the mood, colors, clothing etc, very inspiring!

[@buffyshillings3138]

I really appreciate how you walked us through your thought process for choosing the color and photo concept here. Thank you very much

[@giannitherock]

Thank you very much. Can you share with us how did you add the neon-like text on the wall?

Thanks so much! Your videos are amazing!!

[@martinekwall4671]

Really cool!! I often look for space behind the subject but this way you really used the "tight" area with a wall right behind the model and it turned out so well. Good lighting made it possible for such a set up I think. Really nice! You got a sub!

[@leo883]

Great breakdown. I always throughly enjoy you videos.

[@mauriciosanchez4972]

I like the way you transform a corner of your studio into a disco or night spot based on light ... extraordinary! I liked that in the end you cut enough so that you don't see a small part of the other leg because that caused distraction ...

[@lindsayadlerphoto]

Glad you enjoyed!

As an elementary school educator and dance/music instructor, I love your teaching/communication style. I just ordered your posing book too 🤗! Do you do photography workshops too Lindsay?

[@lindsayadlerphoto]

Thank you! And I do! You can see them up on learnwithlindsay.com under events. I travel often and teaching intensives at my studio in NYC

[@kenlor71]

Nice job and wonderful results. Could you not have just moved the couch along the wall about 2 feet?

[@lindsayadlerphoto]

No, lots of other furniture in the way

[@matigelman8675]

This is really well explained. Thank you! I have a theoretical question... if I’d shoot this with the same set up, but I’d use a beauty dish instead of the key light and an Octabox instead of the deep umbrella. How would that change the look? Do you think it would be significantly different?

[@lindsayadlerphoto]

I think if you position the light carefully you could get a similar look... the spread of light and quality would change slightly but not significantly.

[@edinaimagery2377]

I don't know how you don't have more views. Your videos really help and thank you for taking the time to explain your set up!

[@lindsayadlerphoto]

lol me neither? though honestly I just started doing these.

[@gregautryphoto]

I liked how you elongated her in the frame, rather than crop the image.

[@albertosandoval9777]

Great content and tips as always. Love the colors, lighting and feeling. I´m just curious only about one thing: what if you had swaped the C-stand and regular tripod positions? That way you could avoid the image left side cloning.

[@lindsayadlerphoto]

Makes no difference. probably just speed.. I only have so much space on either side and it was probably just what was easiest to maneuver. You could do as you suggest for sure!

[@albertosandoval9777]
