Dramatic and Moody Lighting for Portraits- Sony A9 using the Rotolight Aeos and a 2 Stop Diffuser 

a great example of no pain no gain... tough on the model so worth it with those awesome images.

That's a real model. Great images too.

The more of his videos I see.. the more I like this guy... what an engaging and creative photographer.. way to go Jason.

Another great shoot. the photo are so amazing. beautiful model. well done

Jason your photos are amazing no matter where you shoot I can not wait to take a workshop of yours!

So much fun to watch. I always learn something new. Great job Jason.

By far the most magazine-worthy model you've used for your shoots. The model's facial structure is made for commercial shoots. A9's AF at night seems to be just fine.

Definitely the biggest assistant you've had dude

She's beautiful, loved it.

Incredible shots! Outstanding model!

Damn shots are INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!

Fabulous shots Jason. Some of your best in my opinion!

Great job Jason and awesome model

I'm usually not fond of rotolight results in older videos, but these actually look good!

As always Jason beautiful photography. See you in Vegas, on the strip shoot.

That image at 3:08 was stunning! Well done to Alyssa in challenging conditions!

Excellent as always.

Outstanding images. Beautiful brave model. Great when people dare to push the limits.

Great photos, and this model... wow! How can't anyone fall in love with her? :) Amazing.

killed it! I love that moody lighting

Awesome !

this is what i call, go the extra mile, awesome work!

J, my first thought was that I would have probably shot this at a slower shutter speed than 200 and used less ISO 6400. You always have good reasons for what you do so I'm asking to learn what that might have been. The model is nothing short of stunning. I'm certain she was miserable but what an incredible trooper and I'm sure once she warmed up she was blown away by the result.

Amazing Model :D

Great shots

awesome shots!

Great model, great pictures Jason, you relly took amazing pictures!

Great video, Jason, thanks for sharing !!! From all the models since day 1, I like her the most (for shooting) , okay also for sharing breakfast .

Wunderbar

Awesome...

Lips and eyes! One of your best models. Find some snow location. Swiss Alps? You're laying on the floor of the chopper and She is hanging from a strut! A Bond like series.

Jason, You've shared some nice photos in the past, but these as a whole are some of your best ever. I also have to say I'm impressed with the lack of noise at iso 6400. You can be sure I'll be copying this setup....

Amazing model!!!! I would like to see if someone could take a bad photo of her.

I just want to say that when I first came across your videos, I thought you were cocky and I was turned off by the argument that if you don't shoot with flash, you are limiting yourself. I'm 36 and got my first dslr at 20. I never liked the way flash washed out everything and because I was trained in college as a photojournalist using only natural light, I became super stubborn and anti-flash. Let me just say, that I started to pay attention to your videos and I got a different impression. I'm finally going to admit that the biggest reason I avoid flash is that I never learned how to use it. I learned manual, I learned how to get action shots and write captions for news stories, but I never thought that one day I would say that I need to learn flash. I'm totally looking into the Rotolight system because you were able to keep the ambiance in the background while beautifully illuminating your subject. Thank you. I'm a big fan. Sorry for judging you at first. I guess my ego spoke for me ;)

Amazing shots yet again Jason! Well done! Looking good on the weight loss too btw!

Did you see banding from led light at 4:28? Anyway great shot Jason thanks!

WOW

Jason this shoot was crazy awesome............. I shoot Nikon, but the grain at ISO 6400 is awesome, not sure if its the lens the camera or your skill as an editor. but these photos are sick awesome, I will try it with my wife if she is up to the task..

Fantastic images. Kudos. The resolution is mind-blowing. And I shoot Nikon, lol.

She was made for the camera.

Beautiful Jason and how do you find your models stunning

Jason, you should have shot some images of Phoenix. 😚😆

grea!t just never give up on your dreams, find a gear that works for you and keep on shooting and remember you only have 1 chance to make it right!

Sony is looking really good, I'm just waiting to see Nikon's D820/850 release or a Nikon mirrorless before making the switch

great girl! :)

Not too much grain at 6400. I've got an a7rii and don't know if I could pull that off. Looks like I've got more learning to do. Seems like the eye focus works well. Great shots, as always.

Thanx again this is super fantastic unbelievable gorgeous shots and she s awesome..Just a question dear Jason hope you can help me when i shoot wide open and focus on the eyes the tip of the nose is soft how can you shoot that wide and have all the face super sharp especially when your subject is that close..thanx again for all your videos ..

Nice pics Jason good work. At 4:27 whats all the little squares on the picture is that because of the low light 😀

Jason, great video. You said you couldnt accomplish the same thing with flash. what are some of the pros and cons of using video lighting

U r a man! U work 24/7. :D

Love the Rotolights light! But you can not do that same thing as you could do with a strobe can you ? Can you do a moody dramatic portraits to black out all the scene during a bright day?

Just out of curiosity, how often did you shot at f1.4 this in this photoshoot?

Would you have been able to do this with the NEO? What would be different? The ISO to get the same shots?

6:58 you can see the muscle check his guns out lol !

Great video with a fantastic model. By the way I've just subscribed to your channel, as you seem to have calmed down about Sony since your meeting with The Angry Photographer. Good work. ;)

Bitchin' shots bro!

4:28 are those post effects or some sort of banding issues?

Jason Lanier tell me please what is better for wedding photography sony a7 - sony a7 II - sony a7r whats your opinion ? on what is better to buy

At ISO 6400 you're probably not having the problem I'm experiencing. Right now, Sony wise, I just have the a6300. I was doing some low key studio shots and my only problem with it is that the EVF and the back go almost black when I try to compose the image. I'm shooting at ISO 100 and 400 because I want as little noise as possible. Any way to overcome this without turning the modeling lights up to full power?

Why could you not shoot this with flash?

check that face at 5:50

Beauty & The BEEF!

So please help me understand this... if you can’t see the background in the shots, why are you taking them in cold water outside at midnight? I could get the same result in a kiddy pool at home and at least then I could put warm water in it for her...

some models look real nice but when you shoot them there just not photogenic. or they project nothing from there eyes. but this girl i wasn't expecting much. but when you started shooting she was very photogenic. her eyes have intensity in almost every shot. good model. the only thing i can say negative about the shoot is that most of the shots i couldn't even see that she was lying in water. but still nice images.

I loved your models expression when she got wet. yes the things that models and photographers do for Art!

After about 5 min. in that cold CO. water she probably just went numb. LOL son, why would this shoot be impossible to shoot with strobes?

Because you're so tight on her, I'm not sure this location is even beneficial. Could you not have accomplished the same thing with a landscape rock and a garden hose?

Dear Pinewood Studios, Want to see a disappointed face? Come and see mine when I opened your two thousand priced AEOS On Location Portable light kit to find out there's no batteries included and there's nothing On Location and Portable right here in my hands because I need to get it plugged in to some wall if I want to use it. Did I just spent so much for PORTABILITY and did not get it out of the box? How dare you do such a thing? That's like selling a car without wheels. "What do you want, our product is fine and fully operational? Offcourse you can't use it for the main purpose you bought it but we are not sorry. Where did our offer said we sell our cars with wheels? We sell cars not wheels." Now please try and imagine your main competition, the flagships like Profoto B1 or Interfit S1 On Location Portable light kits coming out of their boxes without batteries. Can You? No, you can't. You know why? Because it's not enough to make a good product, you need to be able to make your costumers satisfied and happy all the way. I'm sitting here not being able to understand your marketing "logic". The least you must do is to ask all your dealers to add in bold capital letters to their offers: "ATTENTION! BATTERIES NOT INCLUDED" All I can do right now is to leave your Portable On Location light pack behind and hurry because my flight is due and I have a lot of professional work waiting for me and my professional flagship tools to arrive. :(

Hello Jason, Is this banding for silent mode? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TOQgnKnURh4.htmlm28s I have a A7rII and I have this with flash HSS

You and the cops must be the fedora makes you look alcaponesky

Jason, as much as I admire you as a person and a photographer, I have to admit I generally don't like your portrait photos. Something about the way you compose them always seems off, especially given the context of the environment. I don't have any right to give specific criticism since it's largely just a difference in taste. Even here, I agree with others where the picture you shared had very little to do with her environment. A similar shoot could have been done in a dark bathroom. That being said, I love this model! her eyes are intense and I actually really loved the eye makeup with the dark lips. Her hair and outfit really work as a whole character. like... edgy classic. She is a trooper and I hope to see you shoot her again :)

you're losing weight Jason you're wife won't like this .
