I like that you almost always say "Use whatever camera you like" because unlike a lot of presenters it's not about the camera as how you use it along with your other gear!

most presenters say its not about the camera. It's people in the comments that know very little about photography that always ask about camera bodies.

Yor gonna love this... the technique where you expose to the background, then add the key and fill afterward, was taught to me while learning live audio. When clubs set up sound systems for the night, the audio tech mutes main sound and focuses on all the peripheral speakers first. Then unmutes the mains, and then add the subwoofers as needed. The logic for the why behind the ratios is the same...

I love the videos so far. I actually learn from these. Some videos from others are so much of their personal thoughts, confusions and gripes and they never get to the point. Just get to the point! Good job. Anyways I’d like to see a series of all the actual named lighting patterns like you showed the Rembrandt. It would be nice to see a full list displayed in action.

The Profoto remote is easy to turn on and off with out taking it off. Just press the channel button to till you get a lighting bolt with an X.

Good lighting examples, but within it I found mistake #6. 12:19 you have your grip arm set up as lefty loosey, not righty tighty. It would not be good to have that loosen and land on your subject. Set safety is #1.
@andreak428010 ай бұрын
😉oooh, you’re correct!! 😮 good catch!! 💪🏼💪🏼 also simply using the end of the arm for the light & modifier which is smooth and not a good place to get any ‘bite’ on the pole. I see a lot of people using like that, and without another grip piece to put in a peg that is gnarled and give it a right angle and set it up correctly. They always have the big gnarly end at the backside near the stand if that makes sense in my description .(??) I used to attach my light the same way many yrs back and try to wrench down the little twist tightener on that amooth end of the arm that has no gnarling for better grip and all I can say is I was very lucky with the different positions I would put the light in and with a modifier that that thing didn’t just fall off !!! 😱🫣 🙏🏼🙏🏼

@MaBricolage8610 ай бұрын
Canon Flashsync is usually at 1/200th a second. The Profoto B10 has HSS wich allows for higher shutterspeeds.
@samuelreyes927910 ай бұрын
If he's using a high speed sync strobe, I think he should have mentioned that in his video. It is very deceptive showing camera shutter speeds as 1/500th if it's not. If he's using a shutter speed of 1/200th and a strobe with high speed sync, that should be noted. Sorry for beating a DH.

11:55 Your "Rembrandt" lighting pattern is NOT Rembrandt. You need to place the key light higher and 45 degrees to the subject on two axes, not just one. And Paramount lighting is where the light is positioned directly in front of the subject and slightly above eye level. Basic factual errors.
@Symptomix9 ай бұрын
in my opinion all the outdoor shots suck. cutting off the feet right at the ankles is a no go for me. the difference between "dramatic" and "natural" was also minimal, why not make it really dramatic like a completely black background with f11? also the octa should have been closer in my opinion, i dont remember the subjective rule being distance= 1-2times the diameter of the light source, only 1 times. the only good knowledge for me was to take the light further away for groups since the difference in distance is less. you also didnt even mention feathering technique. i dont know why im ranting maybe i am bored but all in all this video is so much worse than the stuff you did on adorama.

the correct rembrandt lighting is the highest stand setting, so the "correct" is not so correct
