Lindsay Adler demonstrates how to create a classic hollywood glamour, film noir portrait by using off-camera flash and Rogue 3-in1 Flash Grids. Flash photography lighting video tutorial, techniques and tips.
Thank you so much for this quick yet very detailed lighting tutorial, Lindsay Adler. I am a new film student and I've always been fascinated with the Hollywood glamour shots in movies where the light just illuminates the actress's eyes and hair.
+Marc Wilkins Thanks for your question, we're unsure how Lindsay processes her images, I would recommend trying to contact her office or check out some of her awesome retouching videos on her channel!
Oswaldo Torres Londoño We discussed this with Lindsay who told us she didn't take specific notes for this shoot, but she often shoots in TTL on location and manual in studio. The power levels will be dependent on exposure settings, flash make and model, and flash-to-subject distance. If you need assistance of have a question, don't hesitate to contact us, we'll be more than happy to help at support(at)expoimaging(dot)com.
Hi MT Nguyen, Thanks for your question. Lindsay unfortunately didn't provide us with any detailed lighting notes, but based on our experience, the farther away a subject is from the background the more separation you can get between the main light and background and more dark it would appear. Our guess is that the subject is 4-5 feet away from the background in this video. Regards, -The ExpoImaging Team
Hi Jacqueline, I'm happy to hear you like Lindsay's video! :) The EXIF data for the final image shows it was shot at 74mm focal length, with the camera set to f/9 and 1/160.
@@ExpoImagingInc HI. So I went out last night to attempt my first ever portrait/light painting. It turned out okay, however Some of my images have large black shadows on one side. My set up was a hand held speedlight that I fired at my model ( I am think I was not quite at 45 degrees to the side and that is waht is causing my black outline?) and a light saber. any thoughts/suggestions/tips? Should I fire the flash at the end, or the beginning? At 45 degress, or straight on? Thank you :)
@@jacquelinemartin9793 Hi Jacqueline, It's great to hear that you're excited about lighting and starting to see what it's all about. Moving your light relative to the position of the subject, or changing your own perspective by moving yourself relative to the position of the subject and the lights will change what the image looks like. I would encourage you to just experiment and see what you like, or if you're interested in a more structured learning experience then I would encourage you to check out some of the educational materials from Lindsay Adler or Frank Doorhof. They are two of the best lighting instructors around. Lindsay Adler learn.lindsayadlerphotography.com/product/master-studio-lighting/#enroll Frank Doorhof frankdoorhof.com/web/education/
luv2croon The image was captured on a 5D Mark III, at 1/160th, f/9, at ISO 125. The flash settings, are unknown and dependent on your environment, distance to subject, type of flash, guide number. Often Lindsay uses TTL, but does use manual in studio. She told us that she did not note the flash settings. Let us know if you have any other questions, we're more than happy to assist. Regards, The ExpoImaging Team
Hi Anthony, Thanks for your input. As Lindsay sometimes uses TTL during her shoots with speedlights, it would be hard to say :) If you have any other questions, let us know. Regards, -The ExpoImaging Team
Hi Jacqueline, Thanks for watching the video tutorial! Lindsay recorded this video a few years ago and we unfortunately do not know what settings she used on the flashes. I checked the image EXIF data and can tell you the final image was taken using f/9 @ 1/160 sec with the lens @ 74mm focal length. If you want to try to recreate this look you'll have to do a little experimentation with your flash settings. erik
Hi Steve, It appears the grid is placed about 2-3 feet from the model. The Rogue Grid comes with a 45 and 25 degree insert that you can combine to create a very small 16 degree grid spot. What grid insert, or combination of grid inserts are you using?
I was using the 45+25 grids together. From the video, it looked like 2 feet to me, though looking again maybe I need to have the subject look more to the side to get the grid to the side
