Thank you for watching this video about portrait photography. Full disclosure, I don't have a hamster called Jeremy :( please like and subscribe so I can buy a hamster

:-)

[@abrahamesua8878]

hi. pls i will really like to know. This is a ONE LIGHT TUTORIAL. aside from the steady strobe pointing directly to the model, i could also see speedlight flashing in the background as you snap. where was that positioned please?

[@MarkB-te3sj]

@@abrahamesua8878 That might be the strobe which is pointing to the model. Studio flashes often have a modeling light build in, which is a weaker but steady light to see the shadows. When you take the picture it will use the flash bulb inside of the same flash.

[@jlthakad]

Can you also display the link for where to buy the chair the model was using please?

[@zi3417]

lol!! Could you tell me which Edited app you used, please?

Show 👏👏

[@Aboutthatimage]

Great video! Subscribing

[@pictureeyecandy]

Honestly, when working with strobes, You should only learn and only use one strobe before ever using more than one strobe. The same goes for modifying light. Learn the ends and out before adding more different modifiers. Great video.

[@tigertoy201]

thank u for this useful video in which program used to edit the pics befor photoshop

[@stephenmatthews5437]

Great examples and instruction. Sounds like you have Cliff Richard commenting 🙂

[@zander1971shorty]

Quick question. What do you recommend for ambient light? My studio is in a large basement with very little natural light. Thanks.

[@Rossie123able]

Just ordered some soft boxes. This video helps quite a lot

[@milkman7674]

Good stuff. Love shooting one light. Awesome posing.

[@happysweat6442]

Hi Bach, thank you for sharing your knowledge. Is the strobe and softbox the same device? I can see the softbox in the vid but what about the flash which i just learned called strobe. Where should it be positioned?

[@kallumbamber5598]

I subbed, tell your hamster I’m a fan

[@Brave3538]

Pls say about back drop grey u used its company details it looks pretty cool

[@axzman22]

Liked, shared, subbed,..... electricity bills paid.... excellent vid bruh

[@LoveChristJesus]

Man... first thing to take a beautiful portrait like you take is to have a BEAUTIFUL MODEL like you have.

[@BachPhotography]

i'm Romanian it definitely helps :)

[@marclabro]

super shooting tuto. what is the octabox you are using ? is it a ad600pro finally as mentioned in your gear list ? should it work same way with a ad400pro and ads-085 octabox ?

[@kANAB1S1994]

I want to do some homestudio and are currently looking for a strobe. Do you recommend continous light vs flashlight in a softbox? Thanks :)

[@jameshillblue]

He's back!

[@BachPhotography]

Jay Hill Creative I’m back baby!

[@maheshaswami3367]

Nope..he is bach!

[@collinhills2937]

What did you use for your ambient light? I can see a light on the model?

[@kapilsahaniya5980]

Which photo editor are you using...? And which one i should use please guide me

[@onyinyesarah1226]

So in the second strobe did you have anything on it like an umbrella or it was just a regular strobe by itself? Also where did you get the flash that you’re using from

[@jordanortez4085]

Hey what lights do u recommend?

[@lauraandrews8319]

My version of Lightroom doesn't have the feature where I can go in with the clarity tool to smooth out parts of the photo do the skin like you did. I would love to be able to do this, is there a certain version of lightroom that I need? Thank you so much

[@GranCraft168]

What type of modifier did u use?

Please what white balance and picture style can i shoot with canon 5d mark iii

[@kimyerimiese5474]

what matrial did u use in your background?

[@god-lightbulb]

What do you use that old white iMac for?

[@shaunZ96]

does this strobe have both continuous light and flash light functions?

[@wrkumar6754]

Hi how u edit after the shoot? Bcoz I did a shoot for a brand but my editor made me too hard to edit for my self

[@pmip8477]

which software is this? Capture one? Thanks

[@benlow5834]

Can you do this same thing with a white umbrella??

[@DhruboNil]

What's that backdrop called? where can i get it? 🙂

[@javijoseph101]

Hey, I didn't see the raw files for this shoot in the link?

[@DAPSGDP]

I want that stool! Where'd ya get it, sir?

[@alexromo7990]

so it it 1 light or 1 light plush a flash?

[@firlin.5978]

Me with my table lamp and camera 🧍‍♀️

[@Bentrizzle]

Whoa! So when you are making adjustments and using brush the tool, what do you click to avoid making adjustments on the adjustments you just made? Ie: face smoothing and saturation to jeans

[@alexmcculloch6021]

you just create a new adjustment.

[@gamersvalley5734]

Where did you position your flash?

[@audiecruz6390]

is the color of your backdrop grey?

[@douglasjoyaphotography3316]

This is incredible. However for the flash, are you saying to put the power the lowest? I have a Godox strobe and despite putting it the lowest, it still blows up my subject way too much. I don't understand why...

[@BachPhotography]

lower your iso, speed up your shutter speed and increase your aperture until you get the desired results, happy shooting

[@ana-il7ht]

Are you editing in Photoshop?

[@kenkho]

Nice photos thanks for sharing. Can i get that style using a small flash like the Godox TT350 and Godox AD-S7 18” softbox? Using sony a7iii and Tamron 28-75 f2.8. Planing to buy a small compact flash for indoor and travel use.

[@BachPhotography]

Yeah sure, if you could get a bigger softbox that would help a lot

[@kenkho]

@@BachPhotography thank you :) will you recommend 60cm or 90cm softbox octagon? For that small flash

[@imatthewryan4076]

why dont you have the texture slider in 2020?

[@samanthac1804]

Hi, I was hoping you can tell me what editing software you use, an where to get it? Please and thank you, you are amazing!

[@BachPhotography]

Just plain old Photoshop :)

[@samanthac1804]

@@BachPhotography I have photo shop but it doesn't look like that. I guess I will have to research on what one I guess, I appreciate that you replied.

[@wanderingyoana]

I have just one softbox and today I tried shooting a video. So I placed my softbox at about 40-45 degrees and about 2 meters from me. The background got really bright, so was I, and basicly there was almost no contrast between me and the background. Any advise on that? I would be so greatful!

[@bobniel8314]

Did you try turning down the power on your light.....and also moving yourself away from the background. Basically, the further away from the background you are, the less light will fall on it, making it darker.

[@McflyVintez]

Wait where did you get that stool though ?

[@MrAGeezie]

I sub for the hamster!

[@sylt5498]

No joke I only subscribed for Jeremy... 😂 jk very informative video!!!
