Love the way you teach! You and Roberto are the best teachers out there! You make it so simple and clean! My passion for OCF is for you! Saludos desde argentina 🇦🇷

Thanks so much!! Means a lot to me, and I’m sure Roberto too’

Amazing job Vanessa. I felt like I was in a photography class. This exactly what I needed. Thank you so much!

[@VanessaJoy]

Glad to hear it!

[@biswajitbhattacharya7558]

Nice 2 see another photoshoot of yours. Love your commentary too. Great effort in a simplest way!

[@davidjb9199]

Nice to see a wedding photographer talking about taking a little bit of time to use some lighting to good affect. I was a bit disappointed with my daughter's photographer that she did not do that at least some of the family shots in the chapel. When I have covered weddings I have always provided additional illumination where I felt it was needed. Nice job.

[@VanessaJoy]

Thanks so much! Means a lot to me

[@nando829]

Loved the video! Honestly, I never thought of using my reflectors in that set up. It's a new tool in my box. Thank you !!!

[@stephendouglas4545]

Vanessa is a lot better than she thinks she is. If she continues on this ambition course she will eventually turn a corner, and maybe another, and all this hard work, professionalism, and humbleness, WILL pay off for her and she will become "great and popular", for better or worse, and I am proud to be a witness to it all.

[@VanessaJoy]

Aw i really appreciate that :)

[@alanhuelin403]

Thanks so much for this useful tuition Vanessa, I will use this setup.

[@VanessaJoy]

So glad you like it

[@ianphillips8729]

Hi Vanessa, could you put the flash on camera & bounce it into the above reflector (with white side on) & have a 2nd reflector underneath to fill in the shadows to achieve the same results???

[@VanessaJoy]

You sure could but might not fill the whole reflector depending on how far above you it is

[@EdwardKilner]

Liked the content, hate the vertical format. Makes me feel like I have tunnel vision.

Amazing pictures take some time to setup, that's what I learned to day. Take my time to get the best lighting with the tools I have. But what really makes me wonder, is how you can hold that heavy camera with one hand and take pictures that are sharp and not shaky...

Great tips for an outdoor portrait shoot, not sure I could manage that without a stand though. Using TTL to meter off is a great way to find a starting point you can lock in to. I was wondering about your bag! Looks great and I'm in the market for a new bag would you care to share the brand?

[@VanessaJoy]

It’s similar to this one: adorama.rfvk.net/XbdPX

[@VanessaJoy]

Here thx

[@buzbragdon9282]

I have trouble with reflectors and diffusers on breezy days especially when can hold with only one hand.

[@VanessaJoy]

Haha same

[@ElizavetaSoldatenko]

Why not a speedlite with a portable 40 or 50 softbox instead of 3 items + an assistant?

[@VanessaJoy]

softbox won't give the same lighting pattern and essentially I'm showing you a 1 item setup since this is easily used with just natural light

[@mibpro3030]

Q: Why not just use the white or silver side reflector? Could it end up being the result?

[@rsphotography2307]

You changed my whole world by using the white/gold/silver cover lmao how stupid that I never thought about using it like that.. Thanks for that.

[@VanessaJoy]

Haha fantastic

So smart

Fun right?

[@marktomphotography]

@@VanessaJoy right! I'm selling all my Profoto lights and just getting a bigger reflector.

[@WildExposures]

love this girl....but why dos she hold a camera like it has no vertical grip, when it does? Maybe I am missing something:)

[@p4inmaker]

Probably because of the strap mount.

[@VanessaJoy]

You got it 😉

I'm disappointed there wasn't a nose hair joke somehow thrown in there hahahaha. Thanks for the tips! These look great!

New York is truly cosmopolitan place. Only in New York one can find a model with a typical Cossack haircut...although no doubt she was told by her hairdresser that "it is the latest upper trend in the art of modern boutique hair dressing". Nothing new under this sun. Julianne looks so "hopelessly" traditional after that.

[@junichinomura4810]

ok to do it you need at least 1 or 2 assistant 🤔👍😅😊📸

Lol sort of. I could use stands and clamps too but not outside in NYC without a permit

Godox V1, $140 bucks The manufacturer of the brand Profoto ! Buy direct save money !

Whatever floats your boat, this concept will still work 😉

@@VanessaJoy America does not make a flash, it's all China and I like doing business direct. I never needed service on a flash and I owned quite a few. $140 from the manufacturer or 1k from a middle person . Only a newbie would bye an imposter !

[@varunkamal91]

Way too much trouble with that clamshell lighting just to be able to click a passport composition. Why not just put the speed light in a small octabox and fire. Advantages: You can do any pose even full body, no assistant. Less cumbersome!

[@VanessaJoy]

Bc this is a budget option 😉 note title of video

[@varunkamal91]

@@VanessaJoy Think about how much it costs to have an assistant on salary or pay someone each time to hold all that. A cheap godox v860ii speedlight is just 170 dollars and has lasted me 3 years and you need a small quick pop up modifier. Newer photographers need to be able to shoot flexibly without assistants. It's more profitable when starting. I had to shoot alone for the first year.
