Hello again! So sorry for the delay, but here we are! Our first ballet video and I hope you like it!
I wanted to experiment with shooting a 3-point lighting set up and then compare it to a softer, slightly different lighting setup (but still using 3 lights!) to evoke a very different feeling.

Love the images - particularly the more emotive style with the dresses and fabric - very much up my street. Great lighting and post. 😍 Makes me want to get in the studio an do some of my own as all my past dance stuff has been on location.

@baychick Год назад

I think in addition to the lighting and the technical lessons, I hope other photographers watching take away from how conscious you are of your subjects. What’s safe for them, what’s comfortable for them, their endurance, communicating with them and how the photos need to serve them. Likely comes from your own work as a model, but it’s so important! Love this video!

@ReneeRobyn Год назад

You’re the best, thank you so much! 💖💖🥰 and I really hope people take away more than just the lighting, like you said. 🥰

@shichaosun3298 8 месяцев назад

have some questions. for the first set up, how to avoid the overhead light create heavy shadow on the background paper and floor? Do I just move the model away from the background? or just make the overhead light weaker than the side lights? and is the overhead light directly on top of the model or is it closer to the camera than the model?(since I found directly on top will create weird shadow on the face) Thanks! It is so confusing when it comes to actual shooting.

@ReneeRobyn 8 месяцев назад

So in this case the model is quite far from the background, like 10 feet or so. Which removes the shadow that you would normally get. The overhead light is directly over her and I just have her raising her chin a little to get nicer light on her. :) I also have light bouncing off a white board to help fill in shadows and make it more soft.

@kilbsy Год назад

Great stuff! On an unrelated note. Where did you get the camera winding sound effect and the flash pop sound effect in the newer video, or was it a shutter sound with reverb. They’re something I’ve been looking for and was going to make myself !

@lukaszgudaniec9143 6 месяцев назад

How did you set up 2 shots one after another? is the light output the same for both? What are the strobes? Love your videos and was wondering whether you have an tutorials on shooting the ballet dancers.

@ReneeRobyn 6 месяцев назад

Hey! The power changed for the two different set ups. It’s been a few months since I did this video so I’m not sure what they were set to anymore. The strobes are Elinchrom. I don’t have a tutorial right now, but I do have more videos coming out that involve dancers :)

@mhc2b Год назад

Thank you for this lovely and informative video. I appreciate your added text definitions of basic ballet terms. As a photographer, I'm curious as to how you achieved the beautiful colored backgrounds in the final post images. In particular, the gorgeous teal green background. PS - I just subscribed to your channel.

@ReneeRobyn Год назад

Thanks so much for watching! The color grading is pretty easy, I just added greens and teals into the shadows and warmed up the highlights! Did it all in ACR. Thanks for subbing, I hope you enjoy what’s coming!

@timskinnercanada Год назад

Really learning so much from these tutorials. Thanks for sharing your insights and workflow. Can’t wait to attempt some of these methods on my next dancers photoshoot. Would love to see how you work on-location too. How long would you typically block out for one of these sessions? Cheers from Ottawa. :)

@ReneeRobyn Год назад

Admittedly I’m not nearly as good on location, most of my shooting is in the studio. But we did film one outdoors last weekend, it should be out in a month or so. When I’m shooting a dancer I usually plan for anywhere between 2-4 hours, depending their stamina. We plan shots ahead of time, take lots of breaks, and allow for lots of time to warm up too. The photography part is really quick, but I try to make sure they leave not totally exhausted. Then again some dancers are masochists and work **very** hard for a shot they want. 😅

@timskinnercanada Год назад

@@ReneeRobyn I will stay tuned for the outdoors photoshoot video. I’m sure the results were amazing. :) I don’t have a studio so everything I do is on-location in weird spaces. I like how you keep the photoshoot, objective-oriented, and on-track. I’m trying to learn that skill. :)
