[@MannyOrtiz]

Miguel is beast guys. One of my portrait inspirations!

[@dannycastro1826]

Wepa! and you're one of my portrait inspirations Manny. (Boricuas do it better) 🇵🇷👌

[@Ish98]

Manny!!!

[@TonyAndChelsea]

OH SHIT MANNY'S HERE!!

[@MrJenishbek]

If Manny says so, he must be

[@ba553y]

He's Mine now! Thanks to yours and Chelsea's video. He's so damn calm...hate that guy!

[@bujabusiness]

When I first started talking photos 5 years ago, I was lucky to be able to work with a gracious model who constantly told me, 'I'm not going to bite you, get closer (I had a 50mm lens), give me directions, move me if you need to.' That one session helped me more than any degree in photography could have. If the photographer is confident and having fun, the subject can then be confident and have fun. Great video.

[@chelseanorthrup8787]

Miguel is so fun to work with and he’s also an incredible and generous photographer! We have another video that we did together coming out soon on his chan 😎

[@tallandlong]

Great job with this vid.

[@ExploreThroughMe]

Thank you Chelsea and Miguel's it's worth watching this videos.

[@davidtaylar8870]

Just got my first softbox and speedlight. Talk about lucky video. :)

[@doctorlovera]

:-) I dont understand mirrors either. When someone uses his left i just use my left. :-) I cant help it. Tony must have a tutorial on mirrors. Doesnt he? BTW Great vid.

[@mikemuha7537]

@@davidtaylar8870 me too!

[@crismonroe24]

These people who would always argue whether gear does matter or not, are missing the point of Miguel's tips. If you're a beginner and just starting up doing photography, don't spend so much on gears focus more on your knowledge on how to be confident (tip#1), communication skills (tip#2), learn to pose your model/s, learn to position your model for natural lights and/or position your lights for your model to get the proper lightings-it doesn't have to be an expensive light gears. Then get yourself a decent camera and a proper portrait lens-you can start with 50mm, then get you gear out, and keep on shooting to improve your skills. Nobody will and can stop you from buying expensive gears,if you want. But the main point of this video is to make you a better photographer, and not a better GAS phototaker! Great job Chealsea and Miguel! Keep it up guys!

[@cjvpjackson9350]

This is so the Best explanation of Portrait strategies ever! ... I learned Volumes from this episode and totally felt he was describing me and how I feel at times...second guessing myself and trying to understand myself as a photographer. He is so right it's so tuff balancing the artistic and technical side of photography. I have so learned what I need to work on just through watching this. I also love that he is more objective and less condemning.

[@kipkipful]

jedi posing is the best tip anyone has ever given in the history of the planet Earth

[@JMM496]

My daughter and I were lucky enough to have our photo taken by Miguel. He's super nice and really put us at ease. We aren't prof models. Fantastic tips in this video!!!

[@malveac]

Not a professional photographer but enjoy photography as a hobby. I subscribe to and watch several photography videos daily. Gotta say Tony and Chelsea are probably the most objective when it comes to the truth about particular brands, body or lenses. Thank you for your professionalism. Great info and you are building an audience that truly trusts your reviews and opinions.

[@one4allall4one91]

The one light setup is one I learned to grasp. Especially outdoors. It can make a world of difference.

[@PhannyObsession]

I have to watch the whole thing again! I wasn't paying attention the first time. I was mesmerized by the model! She's beautiful!!

[@francoisperras8186]

Love it that you KZbinrs are collaborating together. Great idea to bring outside talents. Miguel is great. Thanks

[@steveyinasia]

This is an excellent teaching style, please keep the collaboration going guys

[@joeprotege]

These are such awesome awesome tips, I have lots of confidence, it's just that it's hard to get people to pose . The mirror trick is great I'm using that from now on

[@paulinefollett3099]

Miquel's tips were fantastic. He is such a great guy. Thanks for the brilliant video.

[@PranavMoreyApertureEye89]

The way he told how to pose a model. Amazing. keep bringing this kinda content.

[@InMission]

Great video, I really like how Miguel makes thinks sounds so easy, he rally has a way to explain things in a very simple way to people understand.....

[@pictie]

Good points! On your valentine's show you and Tonny critiqued one of my photos whair i only uesed one cheep studio flash , a small soft box and no backdrop . keep up the good vids and i can't wait to watch the next one.

[@felixbelanger2659]

I still haven't tried portraiture yet, but that tip #3 is pure gold!

[@walkingwithjerry]

one of your best tip video's i have seen. not only good for the photographer but for the subject also

[@barclayjb]

I like this format. Please do more. And keep doing the other videos you do. Now I feel guilty that I am over-working you. Much appreciated.

[@lifesbeautiful3024]

Fantastic video! Great job by all! Terrific tips. Thanks, Miguel for sharing. This is one video that I’ll be watching several times.

[@albertw251]

Miguel is pretty awesome. I agree. You and Tony are awesome as well!!

[@kristofferdarby9713]

Best video ever!!! Love that jedi posing stuff!

[@petersagi275]

Hey Tony! I have an interesting geeky question for you. If you combine two ISO 100 images (same settings, same subject, on a tripod) you get less noise, because it averages out, right? Effectively you double the sensor area and the randomness of light will be less apparent. But what if you combine an ISO 100 image with a noisy (say) ISO 6400 image? Will you get more noise from averaging or will you get less (just by a smaller amount) than in the ISO 100 example?

[@TonyAndChelsea]

yeah, image averaging works exactly like that... two ISO 100 images give you the same noise as one ISO 50 image. Two ISO 100 images of an APS-C sensor averaged give you about the same noise as one ISO 100 image from an FF sensor. Check this out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e16qk6iOip2Mg7M

[@petersagi275]

Thanks for your answer, great video! So it works as I thought. But what about the second example? Would you get ISO 3200 (from combining a 100 and a 6400 image) or something like ISO 95 - in a sense that it's a bit cleaner than a single image at ISO 100?

[@heredownunder]

So good. Simple and honest. Thank you

[@bassflicks]

Jedi poses, awesome, so simple, needed that tip. thank you

[@PhotoBob]

“Start with the one then ask what the 2nd light would bring to this” sooooooooo true!

[@mskvarenina]

Tony and Chelsea, what gear do you use to mic your videos? Audio is always nice and clear and I'm looking for something for my daughter who is beginning to make her own short films with her DSLR so she gets better audio. Thanks!

[@Jimmy_Cavallo]

Really great tips and shooting, Miguel. I would love to know where you got that backdrop in that amazing headshot at 6:03.

[@philg6757]

I really like the way he gets the models into position,very helpful tutorial.

[@johnsorrentino6630]

Great video! Quick concise info for simple stunning photography with one light.

[@emilianozm]

Amazing jedi posing! 🤩👏👏👏

[@lesfisher8941]

Great tutorial, but would you of used him if he was a Canon or Nikon shooter, was this video about promoting good portrait photography or the Sony brand which you seem quite keen on, although its still a great tutorial and there is some very useful tips in it.

[@stuartschaffner9744]

Hate to pick nits, but shouldn’t that C-stand have a counterweight on the boom or at least a sandbag or two on the legs? I thought that was a basic safety thing, or is it something people say but seldom do?

[@TonyAndChelsea]

Ha, yeah, everything should be bagged. I know they brought sandbags, but I guess they decided that one didn't need to be bagged, or they just forgot. It was pretty much straight up-and-down.

[@simon_patterson]

Well that was definitely *not* "BORING"! Great tips - I especially liked the Jedi trick.

[@Suman_Nath6]

Can't wait for 1 million of ur channel tony😍 It's coming very soon

[@TonyAndChelsea]

YAY me too! If you could just get 80,000 of your closest friends to subscribe...

[@Ngcebom]

What camera, and what settings did you use when you were shooting the video?

[@ardentdfender4116]

These tips are quite valuable.

[@qalih]

Great video! Chelsea is incredibly responsive to jedi posing, was amazing to watch.

[@richpoinvil9618]

Great video Chelsea and Miguel. I'll add it to my playlist for lighting knowledge. Chelsea, who's he callin chunky??????

[@arbull7264]

So whats the power saetting on this lights for the shoot?

[@jimmyha5212]

Miguel Quiles, I subscribed to your channel after watching this video. Thank you for all your posing tips!

[@Go_to_scale_rc_and_slotcars]

I loved the hand signal posing tips ....I live in a non English speaking country so them tips are super for me

[@pauld2027]

Great stuff guys!

[@madtical777]

my two fav youtubers!! TOGETHER!! WOW!! Miguel you rock!! Great colab!!

[@denniswilson9367]

Daaaaaamn those are some nice portraits! Good video

[@LlamaCasts]

WOW! Incredibly Helpful. Learned SO much.

[@zaidmuscle80]

I like this guy , he is so pro and nice and know how to make a video ( like you and Tony)

[@geriallen7443]

awesome. This Is really goooood... Miguel is superman.

[@arbull7264]

so wwould every model understand your hand signals? Or are you telling them what the different signals are?

[@MiguelQuilesJr]

I explain the signals to every model when I work with them. Takes a few minutes but worth the effort :)

[@gersonmadrid6675]

Awesome, Miguel & Chelsea. Wow

[@markattardo]

Portraits are not my thing, but I love the video. Knowledge is power!

[@numbninja]

This was a really great video

[@BB-pe7vy]

Chelsea's the perfect comic relief :D I was missing Tony's dry geeky humor though

[@billzidis2656]

Good tips,very on point video.Great guys

[@timothycalderwood5695]

Concur with everyone else--this was both informative and motivational. As a hobbyist, I think I'll give portrait photography a shot (pun intended). Chelsea: Could you please list the lighting gear Miquel was using in this video?

[@lucastoppa2840]

Great video, thanks! I have however one (Maybe) silly question: how do you correctly expose your picture when using an off-camera light? Do you play with flash exposure compensation or do you simply keep reducing the flash power until the histogram looks correct?

[@TonyAndChelsea]

Chapters 3, 4, and 6 of Stunning Digital Photography (sdp.io/s) cover this.

[@Robertobinetti70]

Thanks,great work!

[@eolz7311]

Great tutorial video! Incredible.

[@g4money]

You should do this more often! Invite other KZbinrs on your show to show how Great the Photography Community is.

[@antpruitt]

good stuff. I have "cheap" gear, but still get paid gigs. Thanks for sharing this!

[@TheJohnArmless]

Great video guy. Hopping to see more videos like this one ;-)

[@russellinesteinbuhler90]

Jedi posing is amazing!!!

[@Musicaltariq777]

Duuuuuuuuuuuuude...just finished up a shoot with 12 women indoors and had a lot of anxiety as far as coming up with posing ideas...till I watched just video. I took your suggestions for posing and it made it SOOOOOOO much easier than I thought. It made the shoot progress smoothly, and my subjects were very comfortable. It's a lot easier to pose your subject as you go, because you're posing them with regards to what looks good at the time, versus trying to come up with them beforehand. It's good though to have at least some ideas as far as the most flattering poses to start with, but from there you can Jedi all the way....thank you so much for this video!!!!!!!

[@billhasson4528]

More great tips thank you

[@cjmrcjmr]

MORE OF THIS PLEASE

[@GilbertTV]

Miquel Quiles you rock.... seriously great tips

[@ronin550]

Outstanding video!!

[@tybaltzokoala1645]

The tips were good, excellent in fact, much praise to Miguel. But this was less about one-light setup and more about portrait photography. It was shot on a beautifully clean studio. Was hoping to see actual one light setup and shots (yes I know there were a couple of photos samples), I think you get my point.

[@MrMoonpie001]

THIS is REALLY Spectacular Chelsea!!!! Thank you, such GREAT tips!!! Moonpie!

[@illwill718]

This was very insightful. Thank you!

[@oldgrumpyjim5003]

Learned a lot here!! Interesting

[@acidsnow5915]

great recommendation! thanks for sharing this with us! super interesting!

[@roderickwho1983]

Fantastisch ! and I love the "O'Grady says" game that Miguel plays with Emily and Chelsea. ;-)

[@dropkick63]

Thanks for this guys it was very helpful.

[@59trbryant]

What is the background?

[@OakleefMoto]

Great tips. Thank you for this!

[@MetalZlig]

Awesome video ! :)

[@frankfernandez4373]

Loved this video, can we have more like this, please...

[@Xyz123Etc..]

Soooo Brilliant!

[@dlavardeheshjoo2520]

Link to the light your using!?

[@ZedExGaming]

This was great really helpful

[@millertime6]

I've been trying to get my light game tight.

[@SanMiguelBulls]

Great video, thank you very much...

[@sjwatson7]

Loooove this video! Miguel is awesome and of course Chelsea is fire ❤️

[@TonyAndChelsea]

Haha! Thanks, Sally!

[@TonyAndChelsea]

Haha! Thanks, Sally!

[@jovanjohnson7618]

Awesome video!

[@inpursuitofhappiness4873]

Good advice. But, I do not understand the hand on the side of the head pose.

[@iunderstanphotography2780]

Argh I wish you went into more reasons why "gear doesn't matter" because its such a point of contention, in real life and below my comment. There are limitations on everything, but I shot good photos with my Rebel at the time, I shot great photos with my 50mm 1.8 before getting a 50m 1.4. My studio mate is still using a DSLR from 2007. Will things be easier once he gets a newer model? probably, but its his eye that's helping to create the work, in spite of older gear

[@darrenchandlercoaching]

Great tips! Only the arm up with hand on the head looks silly, no wonder it wasn't shown in the final shot 7:29

[@paulhinchliffe7601]

Great video 👍

[@Nardio]

Great video as always tips wise. I just really wish this was done someplace that didn't already have perfect lighting. I'd love to see them do a photography challenge where they went to places that had horrid lighting and made it work with a single flash. I'm talking hotel event space, casino meeting rooms, horribly lit wedding reception areas. I appreciate the tips, but the setup is already near perfect. Also, #8 Gear doesn't matter... In a perfectly lit place and an A7R3, great flash and a damn good lens.... Come on. Let's see this with a manual Neewer lens & flash in a hyatt hotel event space.

[@chelseanorthrup8787]

Nardio sounds like a good idea for another day! We had multiple videos to film about studio lights and portraits so we shot in a studio.

[@TonyAndChelsea]

Well, the light in the room was completely overpowered by the flash. We'll make a video showing exactly how to dial in your settings for that.

[@dmd1227]

How is this "overpowered by the flash"? kzbin.info/www/bejne/sGabdpaMhc15d9km8s

[@gattie12ben]

Helpful tips😊

[@socratesvela8285]

It is interesting that the model looks intimidate by Chelsea's presence. I am not saying that she is in awe of her looks, she just seems like Chelsea is affecting her game. Thanks for the video and tips!

[@DmitryBrodsky007]

Everyone loves Miguel.

[@IdrissK]

great video tips

[@slaQ83]

One light can do wonders, but you forget to mention that you guys already have the perfect ambient lighting situation going on to start with. In a normal room, with just a single window and a normal light, that situation is completely different.

[@TonyAndChelsea]

We didn't use the ambient light; the flash completely overpowered it.

[@Cortheawwtist]

Ain't nothing to it but to do it. I like it

[@Orions_Journey]

Buzz words...beautiful,yes,yes,beautiful, beautiful 😁

[@powerforward1955]

...jedi posing is extraordinary especially since my wife is my model for now...(smile); but she's a great sport while we both learn. Thanks for a super tutorial. Be well.
