[@LeninMcDonalds]

Thank you so much for this. How would these 5 vary with an older subject. Where you have to account for skin creases and wrinkles. Thank you.

[@antdx316]

What lighting setup (product names) were you using on this shoot?

[@peeweebarney]

For creases and wrinkles, use a large softbox, or if you have only a small softbox, bring it closer to the face. Then add a white reflector to the opposite side (or another softbox instead of the reflector). Harsh lighting is okay for faces with perfect skin, and soft lighting for imperfect skin. .

[@ericpersson8753]

What really differentiates this from the other videos is that you used a continuous light-source instead of a strobe, and you focused just on the lighting rather than taking each photograph. That makes it easy for us to visualize how the lighting changes as you move the reflector around, and see the changes in real-time. Very well-done!

[@TheSlantedLens]

Glad you liked it! Thanks for your comment.

I've seen so many lighting videos, and unless they're still shots with text that explains, sure they have a continuous light source that is moved around.to show you the different lighting set ups No efance , but where have you been.

That is so good to hear. Thanks for the nice comment!

A true educator if I’ve ever seen one! WOW! I wish college had been exactly like this! I went to college for fashion and felt completely cheated, because the corse work was so diluted with other crap. I dropped out. I love this video because this is the first time I felt like a student (enjoying) watching a teach, since middle school, 15 yes ago! The model is gorgeous she looks like Victoria Beckham!

[@TheSlantedLens]

Glad to hear you found the video so enjoyable and educational!

This is probably the best explanation I've seen so far on YT regarding basic uses of softbox. Very helpful for beginners.

Really well done . Straight, to the point, efficient and effective. No muss, no fuss. Clear explanations and makes it look not fussy or intimidating. I like the views from top and front so you can see the orientation of the light and model better. Great job!

[@TheSlantedLens]

Thanks for watching Jon! We have a new one light portrait series, have you seen it yet?

[@edrymes3653]

Great lesson on basic portrait lighting. All too often people try to explain basic lighting by using more lights than a rock concert and confusing and scaring the newbie. Get the single light poses down and see how to change from one to the other and you have a solid base upon which you can build up the complexity.

[@TheSlantedLens]

Thanks, Ed!

light is a difficult concept for me to grasp. and ive had these techniques explained to me before but watching this is the first time i really understand. amazing video. you are like the bob ross of grip. very comprehensive and you make anyone feel like they can do it after watching this. thank you very much

[@danfuerthgillis4483]

Notice what he is using here? Dollar per dollar any fool can learn this in 20 minutes.Give this guy a $20 LED ring light and Canon T1i the result would be he would not be able to even take 1 single shot. These "Pro's" rely too much on their full frame $5000 cameras and $2000 strobes, not enough using their brains. Any of this information can be learned in a matter of hours, but good luck getting the equipment required to actually use this information properly. All these techniques were made and designed around an expensive setup, never really meant consumer equipment.

[@pennyslacke6442]

Great video!! Each step explained and demonstrated in a lively and engaging manner! I'm starting out in Portrait Photography and your tutorial was recommended by Ann Aveyard, Master Craftsman in photography of The Guild of Photographers (UK) Seeing each set up demonstrated in the harsh light, with the photobox removed, was so effective! Very professional model, with the human touch!! Have subscribed.

[@annkluttz5711]

Agree with MANY comments...this is, hands down, the most (fluidly) precise, informative, and easily digestible portrait lighting tutorial--and you keep things hopping. Viewers site various reasons why this presentation is spot-on, but what I witness is someone who actually knows LIGHTING (the physics of LIGHT; lighting terminology) either from experience, perhaps a formal education in photography, or both? My guess is both. Regardless, it's obvious you know what you're talking about and hence, can explain these patterns in an engaging and simple tutorial. Appreciate!

[@gerardamerongen4209]

i’m sure I will repeat a lot of what was commented on but here goes…. Very very well done video. You captured the different lighting styles with a simple steady light and by either moving the reflector or your subjects face/body, you clearly demonstrated the differences you can get in lighting scenarios. By far this has been the clearest (no pun intended) video on the different lighting styles in photography/portraiture.

[@TheSlantedLens]

Thank you very much! Good to hear you found it so informative!

[@davidblagojevic91]

You're a cool dude JP, thanks for this. You might want to cover controlling the light in these different setups. Gridding, flagging, spills etc. Every setup has it's own challenges regarding to light positions, studio space and the types of background (luma and hue). Back in the time when I was starting with photography, this stuff gave me headaches. A complete tut on this topic could be pretty useful to the community. Cheers

Dude! Thank you sooo much! I have a skylight behind my desktop and we are having zoom meetings for work.

I have been trying to figure out how to position a small ring light to stop that and so my 60 year old neck doesn't turkey out, I am not blinded AND can actually see my computer screen... Butterfly light!!! I watched your vid & placed it much more over my head & back toward me than I would ever have considered and it looks fabulous. It looks fab no matter where I look or how I turn; no matter if I am looking up or down, left or right. Bless you!
