Ultimate Guide to Portrait Lighting - Beauty Dish, Softbox, Reflectors, and More

[@Jwitherow1964]

That’s how I want it, no light meter can tell me how I want it, That’s how I want it !! You go Mr. Taylor

[@skydivejw]

"I'm telling you how I want that photo." Boom! Love it.

[@VisualEducationStudio]

Exactly right Skydive! Thank you.

[@simonmaduxx6777]

that's a great point and it's not something that's specifically mentioned much in many videos. your goal is decided by what you or what the client wants the image to be. sometimes I see flash tutorials and the end image is not what I would consider done, especially when there's hard shadows on a woman's face for example. it's good to know when the photographer is making clear that that's what they were aiming for not just what the result was for the video. cheers!

[@atogweoghieaga2205]

You are truly the master, you have proven time and again that knowledge trumps equipment, from another perspective, you can create magic with plethora of equipments and you also create outstanding images with minimal equipment. I salute sir !

[@VisualEducationStudio]

You are very welcome. Thank you for your comment, it really helps both myself and the team 🙏

[@RalfWeyer]

„No one else is gonna tell me…“ 😂. That is just brilliant and definitely the right way to approach what YOU want 👍

[@VisualEducationStudio]

Thanks! 😃

[@josephchan4198]

You have to watch the video over again to get the tips. I want to thank Karl and his team for great content.

[@givebackdocumentaryproduct5981]

[@baredesigns1]

Your videos are excellent with a whole bunch of information. Am sure your Visual Education courses will be more than sufficient for prospective Fashion/Advertising photographers. Thank you Karl.👌👏

[@VisualEducationStudio]

[@josephchan4198]

[@RS-Amsterdam]

After all the years I follow your YT channel as a subscriber, seen at least 95% of your videos, you are, BY FAR, my KING of lighting ! 👑 Thanks for all the good work over the years Karl.

[@VisualEducationStudio]

Wow, thanks RS much appreciated.

[@kennypringle4580]

[@johnmcnaughton6808]

Thanks Karl you make it looks easy but doable for the less experienced photographer following your instruction’s

[@VisualEducationStudio]

Great to hear John!

[@adrianvanleeuwen]

Thanks for the video tutorial on lighting. I have to work on using my hair light and rim lights more to get the same results for the hair glow pop. I already use a main and fill from the front on left and right for Rembrandt lighting. Careful angles on lights get the results plus power settings. Great demo!

[@duanevaljalo9913]

Beautiful work as always, great explanations. A big thank you...

[@josephchan4198]

[@petrnovoselov1373]

Спасибо, что делитесь информацией. Очень полезное видео. Всегда интересно смотреть как работает мастер. Из России Вас тоже смотрят.

[@VisualEducationStudio]

очень приятно за ваш комментарий, спасибо! :)

[@miguelurzua7230]

Awesome knowledge! Thank you for sharing this! Would you consider to make a video where you make up a scenario where you actually need a light meter? Thank you master 🙏🏼

[@VisualEducationStudio]

Hi there is no scenario where I need a light meter to take an image. If I'm doing something very technically specific like photographing art work and need to reproduce specific values then I will be taking all of my measurements in the tethered software which has a much higher degree of accuracy than a light meter anyway.

The Master

[@YogueDaddy]

Seeing Karl with the Hasselblad on that kid chair gave me PTSD for life.

[@villyribeiro]

Excellent class...but where are the credits for your model?

[@VisualEducationStudio]

I think she likes her privacy :)

[@gameragout2693]

Hi master karl. Why use a box like softbox instead of parabolic softbox?any advantage

[@VisualEducationStudio]

Hi, see my two videos - one on actual parabolic lighting and one on the nonsense of parabolic softboxes.

[@turgayarc1606]

Hello, does your training set have Turkish subtitle support?

[@abwaraich]

What camera settings you using??

[@ernestojr.herrera1633]

[@luizfreire7304]

Keep up the good work, K. PS every time you climb on that little chair my health insurance goes up...

[@VisualEducationStudio]

Hah ha yes I should really get some proper apple boxes

[@MrJupton1]

Where is the reflector underneath her or the strip light?

[@manoharmgr8235]

SUPER. SUPER , THE BEST VIDEOS , VERY NICE நன்றாக இருக்கிறது வாழ்த்துக்கள் ,CHENNAI-R.MANOHAR(MGR) INDIA,*

[@simongentry]

'you ain't got tha reflector mate!'

[@tommynikon2283]

Two words: Apple Box.

[@BrianMorrisPhoto]

Thats not a Brolly? Its a translucent umbrella .......a Brolly is a close backside translucent umbrella which stops leaking light from filling a room.

[@VisualEducationStudio]

For crying out loud man a 'brolly' is an abbreviation for an umbrella, well it is in the UK at least.

[@peeweebarney]

What are your camera settings?
