THE BEST LIGHTING SETUP FOR EDITORIAL PHOTOGRAPHY IN STUDIO | BEHIND THE SCENES

[@corneliuganea1]

So nice to see a professional model hitting all great poses, holding when asked, adjusting on the go. Makes the workflow so organic and smooth

[@niablee]

The thumbnail IMMEDIATELY made me stop my scroll 😍 LOVED how these photos came out!

[@picturemanvlogs9581]

That was definitely the intention 😭😭🔥🔥🔥 thank you so much

[@markbelden241]

This was fun to watch. Always cool to see what other photographers are doing. Great work!

[@GENEVIVEMUSIC]

Model looks Crazy ❤

[@FullStackWithLawrence]

Kind of relieved to see Godox gear in your setup. That what I've been buying 😅

[@Taytay9498]

In future videos, it would be great if you could turn on the lights one by one, so we can see exactly what each light is doing. Otherwise, great video!

[@picturemanvlogs9581]

I did it for some of my first videos but I can start incorporating it again 🙏 that can definitely be done

[@yanafridabinaev]

Such an awesome shoot! Dope styling, amazing shots.

[@picturemanvlogs9581]

Thank you so much 🔥🔥

[@TM-nc2lf]

Very elaborative on the process . I love it

[@picturemanvlogs9581]

I’m glad you enjoyed this 🔥

[@ltshinta]

The elinchrom shafts are 7mm, how do you find they work with the Godox lights (that normally accept a 8mm shaft)?

[@michaeld1165]

Nice shoot! Impressed by the designer, very creative! How about the models I.G information? Great collaboration! I see you hitting them angles good work by all🔥

[@picturemanvlogs9581]

Her IG is @felice.smith and the designer is amazinggggggg

[@lisamarriott8734]

thank you! cant wait to try it!

[@NataliaOszczudlowska]

thanks for the informative video. I have a question regarding the regular light in the studio, I mean the lamps on the ceiling. Isn't that something that also contributes to the overall effect? On the video it looks like a pretty strong light.

[@picturemanvlogs9581]

Thanks for reaching out! And it didn’t affect my shots because I cut out all ambient light in the studio with my camera settings so my flash is the only light. I have a video on how to cut out ambient lighting on my page if you wanna check it out

[@Photomeike]

Awesome work!

[@picturemanvlogs9581]

Thanks! Means a lot coming from the goat 🐐 🔥

[@toyindawudu]

I love the lighting setup and the use of the scrim. That’s something I have been implementing in my shoots lately 🤗

[@picturemanvlogs9581]

It makes the pictures look so good 😭

[@smellgoodphotography7722]

Love the video and the editorial music too

[@picturemanvlogs9581]

It was a vibeeee right? 😭🔥

[@graceokon5519]

Cool 👍

[@drvyamungu]

Lovely shoot. Love the lighting and your team

[@mohamedezz3540]

it's very inspired bro but i have a question what would change if we used a soft box instead of a strip box

[@emmanuelmugisha2431]

Awesome 🤩 but I got one question are these lights used also for videography 🤭 am sorry I am curious about this bcz I gonna start making my own videos

[@fredmorton9283]

Love this shoot. Great job. Question? What do you do to take care of your white floor. We have a white cyclo wall and floor. We use a hard flat paint but still marks up. Just wondering if you have an added something you use over the paint to keep the surface clean. Thanks

[@picturemanvlogs9581]

We use the same paint lol it’s a lot of maintaining 😭😭

[@akbarabdullahattamimi1080]

thank you for awesome tips

[@vtotheiet]

The SK300/400's only have power increments from 1/1 to 1/16th power. How did you get 1/128th?

[@artistictony]

Clean Work!!

[@picturemanvlogs9581]

Thank you 🔥

[@Altusartistdream]

Great video!

[@josuestr]

amazing

[@rche1876]

SK400II can only go down to 1/16 power, how did you manage to lower it down to 1/128?

[@abhi85shah]

Can't we use SK 400 II V aa main or key light?

[@PrimaYogi-i9s]

SK400 MKII with 1/128 power? I thought it was 1/16 for the lowest power 🤔

[@picturemanvlogs9581]

That was a mistake I should have put it on the screen. It was 1/16 my apologies

[@f.kieranfinney457]

It’s a problem with brand in general. Not low enough and too much color variation between output levels.

[@foreveragain5500]

Superb!

[@picturemanvlogs9581]

🔥🔥

[@Vinoironman]

SK400 II - 1/128? It doesn't go below 1/16th.

[@olasunkanmikolawole186]

Good job...what lens did you used?

[@picturemanvlogs9581]

I mainly use the canon 24-70mm

[@willpower3317]

When it comes to key vs fill vs hair light, how do you decide which light source to go with? Does it matter or are they interchangeable?

[@picturemanvlogs9581]

It really is just up to what the look I’m going for is but for someone like me I just use the first thing that come to mind then build 😂

[@willpower3317]

@@picturemanvlogs9581 so basically I shouldn’t overthink it. Got it lol

[@zoevictor2000]

What's your socials? Love love love these photos! 😍👏

[@dendypramana3341]

I have question pls answer (anyone give opinion to pls) is adding scrim in front of the silver umbrella technically turning it into a "giant softbox" and killing the purpose of the umbrella? or the scrim willl create different look according to the other modifier being used behind them? pls explain to me

[@picturemanvlogs9581]

The scrim diffuses the light for sure so you could say it like that. When looking at it, it kinda doesn’t make sense but when I use the scrim it evens out all of the background and adds a small amount of contrast for me personally. You could put the umbrella infront of the scrim directly on the model and use the scrim as a full light still.

[@imerriweather1]

Not familiar with R6. Can someone explain why he can't use memory card. Or is it you can't tether and use memory card. Any light shined on this would be helpful. Thanks!

[@picturemanvlogs9581]

Hey and yes it’s the tethering to capture one why I’m not able to use my memory card but without tethering I can use my memory card. Not sure why this happens though and it took really long to figure out. The good thing about tethering though is that it goes directly to my hard drive so it’s less work for me.

[@portraitblake]

@@picturemanvlogs9581weird Lightroom allows you to shoot directly to your harddrive while writing to the card. Must be a capture one limitation

[@Zunaisheikh]

Thank you for sharing! :D

[@picturemanvlogs9581]

My pleasure!

[@chuck6354]

Ms.Smith! Still gotta get a shoot with her.

[@picturemanvlogs9581]

She’s amazing!!

[@adolorsolomon813]

Awesome

[@sefakorbinah684]

What's your instagram or website? How do you meet the stylists to work with especially when you started out.

[@picturemanvlogs9581]

My Instagram is @sk_visionz and I just reach out on social media really. If you grow your work to be good enough for them, they tend to reply. It’s hard to find a good stylist though but definitely reach out and the worse answer you can get is no

[@amersongriffin6284]

Do you have a ig i like to see the results on ig

[@picturemanvlogs9581]

My Instagram is @sk_visionz

[@LILKIZIGUWAZ]

F11? thats ridiculous

[@tylerfukuda]

Why?

[@mukandzadalberto8975]

Why? If they want a different background light

[@mindcave]

You know who else often shoots at f11 for these kind of shoots? Lindsay Adler. You should probably write to her and critique her choices also. 😂

[@ShaVFotos]

I think it depends on the lens you're using and the aperture range of that lense. Usually the middle aperture will result in the sharpest image. F11 for what he's using could be the middle. Usually for me, with the lens I use, it's f8.

[@f.kieranfinney457]

F11 allows the model to move freely while always being in focus. It does require high watt lights though. Probably why he’s shooting ISO 200. He could use a background light though. Not getting pure white on the bg.

[@JihadzVizion]

man your videos are always informative and your stylist is 🔥

[@picturemanvlogs9581]

My goal is to make it informative alwaysss!! Appreciate you 🙏🔥
