[@StarrMcElvain]

This is a topic that I still need to study but I appreciate the video.

[@jer3006]

I just cannot see your lighting tips often enough- I turn the camera on, my brain turns off! 🤣 Thank you for continuing to present this information; it really helps. Cheers to you! Cheers to Ali! PS: Very happy with my 3 Tamron lenses on my Sony a7IV!

Excellent instructions, demonstrations, and video!

[@TheSlantedLens]

Thank you very much! Glad you found it informative!

[@DandGBears]

As with so many subjects, you want the light to travel across your subject (in an artistically pleasing way) to get the best pictures. Renaissance painters did the exact same thing. Formula worked then, as it does now and will continue to work.

[@TheSlantedLens]

Great point. Thanks for your comment!

Thank you. I don't shoot many portraits anymore, but this is extremely helpful and something I hope to put into practice next time I need to shoot someone.

@@TheSlantedLens thanks for your videos!

[@stephenspiteri_zunkus]

This is great, easy and practical. Only time I would stray from this is when my subject is a lady which isn't young and wouldn't like to show her wrinkles. Broad light may be more flattering in that situation, imo.

[@christhompsonphotography6783]

YES!

[@TheSlantedLens]

Glad you liked the video. Thanks for watching!

[@itst0000]

[@nevvanclarke9225]

[@anthonykent00]

Great video! Simple idea with huge payoff.

[@photozen8398]

I do not know why you keep turning female body towards the light....rule of thumb is : female body away from light face towards it....i commentednon the same issue in another video you did not answee...here the same mistake...teach them proper positions. Teach them right.

[@DamonBowe]

You don’t need to turn the body into the light, just the head. By not turning the body you are losing the curve that makes females attractive. If you can just turn her head, pose her legs better than flat footed, it would be much nicer. I think you have the right idea but this is just a little bit off for my taste in posing.

Watching second video.. Subscribe ❤️

[@fostervf16]

A huge issue that I come across all the time is my models turning away from the light. Yes I move it when I can. But they like to move even after I do. And yes I instruct them not to. Drives me crazy sometimes! Hard to move lights too when using more than one. Best case scenario is the model who actually listens. But definitely easier said than done. Lol.

[@TheSlantedLens]

It helps if you talent is seated to keep them looking in the right direction.

[@rockj8197]

Butterfly lighting allows the model to move around the most without having to reset your lights.

[@Households1234]

Very socially responsible of you to use a plus size model for a change. Thank you.

[@RobinBuckley-fs3sj]

Lol I would not say she is + Size, muscular, yes but not obese. Plus size/obese models are unattractive and unhealthy - what's so "Socially responsible" about that?

[@AbbasBinYounas]

Plus sized??!! 😂😂😂

[@TheSlantedLens]

She was great to work with and athletic.

[@TheSlantedLens]

And very photogenic!
