Very nice video. Highly informative. Though I would say just use a flash meter and get to the exposure quickly.... LOL But really. Great video. Very succinct and easy for a first time Flash user to make things happen.
If you want to “throw a dart” for a good place to begin your camera and light settings for a simple studio setup like this, I recommend you begin with: F/8 ISO 320 SS 1/200 seconds Flash power 1/32 That will likely get you very close a proper exposure, and you can just make micro adjustments up or down from there. Starting in the middle and deciding which direction to go (lighting wise) is always a better option than pegging the exposure all the way and then guessing how much to dial it back. And, unless you intend to have harder, specular light, I would suggest some sort of defusion, dish or other light-shaping methods that complement the model’s skin. Just pointing the light at her is not ideal for most beauty work. If that wasn’t your goal then disregard.
Thanks for the advice. That’s great information you’ve got there. You should definitely start posting content on your channel to get the world up to speed with you.
Why not use a flash meter and simply have the best settings to set and then add your artistic presence from there. Especially considering you are teaching others.
What’s the name of that light your using and the trigger on the camera is all need so when I take the picture it’s connected and automatically use the flash?
I love how you explain however, I would like to see more of the pictures as you’re taking them, or maybe a layout of the series of pictures that you’ve taken, or more before and after.
2 things going on here. The first is that you are most likely setting the power of your gel'd light too high. The second is that you need to use a light that has an adjustable temperature if you want the tungsten look or get a tungsten light.
I’m really interested in the types of backdrops and wall designs you have in the studio. Are those actually built with gypsum or are they styrofoam? I’m trying to convert one of my spaces to have multi backdrop options and would love to know your approach
Love this 🙌🏾 I’ve been a photographer for a while and definitely want to start getting more into creative photography. Also when editing images is Lightroom better or do you recommend photoshop?
I appreciate the hard work you put in just to bring in the sand element. I've done one of these and I don't think people appreciate the preparation that goes into set design. Salute.
@@guyxphoto all love. Gotta always show real love when I see shooters doing their thing. I know the work that goes into creating this content to give the value to the people. Keep doing your thing. I'm tuned in.
