How to LIGHT and PHOTOGRAPH a Dramatic PORTRAIT 

This is by far one of the most impressive techniques I've ever seen with continuous lights, thank you so much, I was looking for something like this and I'm glad I've found it!

Hi, I have just found your channel, and cannot stop going through your videos. Just want to compliment your ability as a communicator as well as an instructional designer!

Truly an amazing technique, especially with the first light!! Thank you for sharing your wonderful talents!

Amazing technique once again Jiggie. Most of this type of beauty shot i've seen online always use modifiers and softboxes. But your simple approach opens a practical way to appreciate photography for the budget enthusiast. Perfect!

manual settings also work 100 iso f 8. s 1/125 nikon dslr phottix ring light 😊

I know this is an older video, but great information!! I started photography in the film days on a camera from 1979, and we only had center-weighted metering in the camera....matrix metering didn't exist, and if you wanted to do spot metering, you had to have a separate light meter that was pretty expensive. I have found, for me, the most accurate way to meter is using center-weighted metering, and then adjust the exposure compensation as needed according to the scene. Thank you for putting these videos out there!!

This is one of the best videos I've watched. I love that nuada light, you can see the output even before you take the shot

feeling ko nasa klase ulit ako ang galing nyo mag explain sir very useful talaga pati ibang lahi napapa wow so proud pilipino here

I really like how you explain everything sir in a much understandable way. Since I subscribe here last week, cant help but watch tutorials from your channel every now and then. I hooe you dont get tired sharing your knowledge for newbies like me. 😁👍 God bless and stay safe sir.😇

You have a flair for teaching apart from being a seasoned photographer. Thanks for this video. It opens up possibilities of continuous light in my mind or should I say my mind is lighted!

I ordered the Phottix Nuada R3 Softlight LED Panel (PH81431) this evening! 😀

beautiful images & model, great lights! thanks so much for simplifying the dramatic look with the handheld LED panels 💪🏼💪🏼👍🏼🌟

As a beginner photographer, i found your video so helpful for me specially on how to use the lights properly...thanks a lotand more power po..

whoah bakit ngayon ko lang nalaman na may youtube channel pala si sir Jiggie.. thanks sir i learned a lot..

I enjoy each and every video of you guys. Love the way Jiggie explaines everything with details. Beautiful pics always. Hello from Cuba! Gracias

Incidentally, I am also using Phottix Nauda S3 and two M180. I'm really surprised to see how you managed to shoot low-key portraits with these wonderful LED lights. I so far use the S3 as a softbox fill-light, and the M180 as accent. Seems like there are more creative use of these LED. Thanks for your demo.

Loved your little tips on how to direct or place the model.

Simple and easy to follow, Inverse Square lLw is the key and well explained.👍

I shoot in aperture priority a lot also, especially if I'm photographing children who move a lot. But with adults and teens I usually use ISO 100 AND manual exposure because it's more precise and more dependable.

You rock!!!!! My friend! Thanks so much for your channel! Puede gold!

Dude your the best on RU-vid by a long shot

Wow I just learned so much about lighting. I use to think you needed a black backdrop to get photos like that now I know it's not true! Thanks for the wonderful tutorial.

So this is "Aperture Priority" shooting mode? I'm going to try and do this with my GH4. I've noticed when flip around with exposure compensation the SS and Aperture are following and appeared fixed in according to the exposure. Will see how it turns out.

Been watching your vids over and over. Seriously, thanks for making these videos.

Sir I've learnt new ideas from your presentation. Im just a newbie trying to learn more about portraits pothography. Ive subscribed to your chanel and God speed.

So glad I found your channel.

super shots, really beautiful model

Jiggie I love your teaching style

Great video! In this tutorial and you are hand holding, I am using AV mode for canon. What is the best aperture? I am shaky under 100 what would you suggest?

Hi Jiggie, 1st of all, thanks for your detailed and helpful instruction videos! I got my hands on a pair of Phottix Nuada R3 II, but I’m struggling to find a fitting grid matching the ~35cm diameter. You mentioned beauty dish grids in your videos. Do you have a recommendation? Any help or guidance would be much appreciated!

Simple and Efficient ! Could you please show the brand and model of the circle light? Thanks.

awesome video! you are an awesome photographer and a mentor as well. thank you for sharing this Sir Jiggie! Big fan here!

Nice video. Light is light. Knowing the Reverse Square Law you could any type of light from a house lightbulb to the sun and everything in between! This is for the people below who don't understand light. Sad, because light and understanding how light works is the most important thing in Photography! Not the gear, camera, and even composition. We see light all the time and think we know it but in reality, most don't understand it or really truly see it.

awesome!!! i learned something with this video!!! keep the great job!!!

These video's are so good .. really informative and i've learned a lot! Thanks!

Never ever thought about using the compensator in that manner before, thank you! 😀

You make it so easy to use.

Thats really perfect

Simple but powerful

Thanks for sharing...great tips. BTW, your wedding prints on the wall look amazing!

Great video, thank you. I have a sony a7 iii and I have a question, what measurement mode do you use? punctual to the highlights? use face detection? and eye detection? Best regards.
