I have shot professionally for over 20 years and I agree 100% with this method .

@VanessaJoy Год назад

so nice to have your stamp of approval! :-)

@604vancityray Год назад

Love this! I also love how you're showing the lady in blue how to pose her shoulders. It made me realize, as a man, how stiff I am when I try to show women how to pose.

@VanessaJoy Год назад

so glad that's helpful for you! :-)

At 1:06 -- I love it because we all do the exact same thing -- no matter the lens or the model placement, WE ALL LEAN FORWARD to get closer before we hit the shutter. 😆

I am glade you mentioned light color mixing. I had an event shoot that looked really bad, I thought when i saw the light and color of the room, it was going to be a problem, just never heard it mentioned before.

it's SUCH a big deal! Definitely needs to be talked about more

@jeffreyhill4705 Год назад

Thank you for this lesson. I also noticed something new. It looks like you have your subjects mirror your pose. Does that impact your clothing choice? Could an assistant help for a photographer that is triangular in shape

@VanessaJoy Год назад

ha good thought on impacting clothing choice, but no I dress so I'm comfy loading in equipment :-)

@cadmus777 Год назад

This is a great setup and result, but as you explained, without a light source as massive as that it just won't work. My largest is 42", and I don't think that will be big enough, but adding a second small light on the background can be enough to give the same look, just with an extra light (eg. a 42" softbox, medium power light and cheap speedlight will probably still be cheaper than an 85" plus the high power flash to use in it). I also love shooting portraits with my 85mm f1.4 at f2.5, and agree that the eyes are the key - I find a lot of clients actually like having their nose sort of fade away out of focus! I shoot high megapixel too, which allows me to make sure I don't crop shoulders or top of their head in camera, as I can crop to whatever format they need in post. Excellent video, thanks!

@VanessaJoy Год назад

I think that would be big enough actually, it would just create a harder light on your subject, which might not be the end of the world. Background lights and fill lights are a great option too! Glad you liked the video - and thanks for commenting!

@hawg427 Год назад

I agree with Vanessa, the profoto light she's using is only 250 w/s and a lot of people use 500 w/s just set the power lower. Better to have more power than not enough.

@Garbid Год назад

You can put smaller modifier close to the subject. I got 160 white umbrella with diffuser from godox in the building ad200 is enough. If you shoot with ss 160.

@charleschessler4808 10 месяцев назад

I'd also bet that a 42" would work. My go-to is a 53" Deep White Umbrella (I happen to be a Westcott guy, but any brand will do) with Diffusion...works like a charm. The key, as Vanessa says, is the subject to background distance (fairly close) and the strobe to subject distance in combination with the large modifier. It's counter-intuitive, but the farther the light source from the subject, the farther the light travels behind them. My go-to strobe for this is a 400ws FJ400 and that's plenty of power. If, conversely, you want a darker background (regardless of the color) you'd pull your subject away from the background and bring your light source closer to your subject. The closer the light source to the subject, the faster the fall off.

@scottfineshriber5051 Год назад

Thanks for the great demonstration. Would you say the low, white ceiling contributed to the overall look? What does it mean to “black out your exposure?”

@VanessaJoy Год назад

It likely had a small effect vs if it were a dark wood ceiling. Black out your exposure means to start with an exposure that is completely black before you turn on the flash. This way you know that all the light affecting your photo is coming from the flash

@truthsayers8725 Год назад

i love your videos. your results are about the same as what i get (im only shooting self portraits) except my focus is sometimes a bit off. i dont always 'hit my mark' lol. i need to figure out a way to find actually PAYING clients although after the streak of crappy luck ive had this past month, id even take clients that i shoot for free (yes, ive been turned down for FREE professional headshots. from people i KNOW, no less)...

@VanessaJoy Год назад

hope it gets better! Psst... I have marketing videos here: ru-vid.com/group/PLsXiwWyXBJiaRcfoa9bkLpfQQE89eI-7y

@theJaseEdwards Месяц назад

What’s your thoughts 💭 on the RF100mm for headshots? I have that, an RF50 1.2 and the RF70-200 2.8, but not an 85mm.

@VanessaJoy Месяц назад

Sounds like you have your bases covered. The rf85 would be a perk for you but not a necessity ☺️

@airjaff Год назад

What do you do when you do not have or can't afford such a big diffuser to get this soft uniformed light. I was thinking bounce off a white wall, but what I'd you don't have a white wall or a large enough white wall?

@VanessaJoy Год назад

great question! Yes, a white wall is a GREAT idea, you'll just potentially need a more powerful light. You can always use a smaller modifier but the light on your subject will be harder, but not THAT hard where you see hard shadow lines. The more important part is getting farther away from your subjects so that the fall off from the light is lessened, making the exposure of your background and subject more even

@Raheemjones23 Год назад

Can you use a soft box light also

@VanessaJoy Год назад

Yup. The bigger the better though for this setup

@elboogie2324 11 месяцев назад

Yeah, I can afford that setup.

@VanessaJoy 11 месяцев назад

one umbrella and one strobe! Could be godox, westcott or whatever works for your budget :-)

@JustinatorxX 7 месяцев назад

Great video. Love the content, but that is a scary price tag of $10,000.00 that you are recommending for this setup 😂. Would be nice if you could recommend a more budget friendly setup as well.

@VanessaJoy 7 месяцев назад

There are plenty of budget versions of this setup. Generic brand name umbrellas, flashpoint/godox strobes, used Profoto strobes. I just don’t recommend and teach things I don’t actively use and trust (used Profoto gear I do recommend though)

@JustinatorxX 7 месяцев назад

@@VanessaJoy , Thank you!! still I love the content. I've been a natural light photographer for many years, but just now getting into Flash Photography. This is all new to me and the gear choices are vast!

@sportguscom 11 месяцев назад

How does that setup do with people with glasses?

@VanessaJoy 11 месяцев назад

Just as well as any other, if you want to get the reflection out of the glasses, then raise the light higher or tilt the persons face down a little bit. Angle of incidence equals angle of reflection.

@sportguscom 11 месяцев назад

@@VanessaJoy I was just curious since that light source was so large if you had the space to raise it high enough without running out of ceiling space. Would like to see videos like this that deal with headshots to have examples of people actually wearing thin and thick lens glasses. What you have to actually come across in the "real world " of headshot photography. That is what would truly be helpful. '"

@VanessaJoy 11 месяцев назад

@@sportguscom definitely! That would be a great video. Think some cheap amazing glasses just to demo would work??
