Watching this almost 3 years later, still works! :)

[@EliInfante]

Great to hear!

[@cesarallforce]

Thank you Eli, I just landed on your channel recently and I appreciate your tutorials, I've a learned a lot just watching a couple of your videos, looking forward to watch more, this tip about removing lights is great, the same technique can be used to remove other things like people, Keep up the good work.

[@EliInfante]

Thank you Cesar! I appreciate the feedback 😁

[@matthewpstratton]

Eli, your tutorials are awesome, learning so much!

[@EliInfante]

Appreciate the feedback Matt! I'm pumped that you're finding them helpful :)

[@sabesyed222]

Excellent tutorial and well presented! Loved the fact that you demo’d with three different images!

[@ArifKhan.]

I will say, using a tripod does make it a bit better...you probably won't need the auto align step. But I hear you about it being an extra annoying step. Using a mono-pod may be a good in-between compromise. Also another thing you can do if you use a tripod, is take a picture of the scene without the model or your assistant/light. Then in photoshop, just 'paint in' your lit model over the base background. Both method work equally well, but I found in some scenarios, the latter is a better option. Good video though! :)

[@thumbsup9208]

I really love your work, but your tutorials and your tags make me have a very good time and laugh 😂 , I have been hanging around KZbin for a year looking something really work for me. I took a couple courses in Domeska (Spain website) to get in to he photography world. Now I got my sony camera and a kit lense, Adobe subscription and capture one and a powerful computer, to approach my dream came true. Thanks for being an inspiration for me and many others. It's a shame because I used to lived in Houston two years ago, now Im in Tampa. Hope you came to visit just to say thank you in person or see you in Texas pretty soon. Success! 😎 ✌️

Awesome work bro, I now have another skill thanks to you ..

[@EliInfante]

Happy to help! :)

[@tommynikon2283]

Been doing this technique for years, but when asked I explained it to folks like this: Shoot two "plates": the first shot is the scene/POV/Subject; the second shot/plate is with the light source IN the photo- and ON the Subject. In post, Erase the Light= Final (a Subject well-lit, a light/stand removed) In this shot....you could even go (3) plates: 1st: Basic Scene, without the horse/model. 2nd: Horse/Model included 3rd: Light added to Model/Horse. I ALWAYS use a tripod so the shots are perfectly aligned.

Use a tripod for both the shots. There, frame will match 100% pixel by pixel.

Absolutely! :)

The modifier is the magsphere? When is better to use this type of modifier instead of a softbox/beauty dish?

Modifier was a magsphere. You can also use a small octabox softbox.

[@alexanderivanoff]

You're a cool guy, Eli. I'd like to point out two things - 1st - use a tripod if you're not too lazy for this. And 2nd - as you said you're doing high-end retouch. If *ANY* filters are involved, this isn't a high end work. FS is a banned technique when it comes to high-end retouch. Just saying. :) Keep up the enthusiasm and the good work, mate. Cheers.
