Rather than the bare lights in the rear with the separate flags, would the use of strip softboxes be a good alternative? (ie, 1x4)

@ToddEckelman90 3 года назад

You can use softboxes if you like. I just like the hard light look with the grids.

@krisgreen 2 года назад

You’re correct. A strip box with an egg crate will direct the light directly at the subject to the point you won’t need the flags. The light will still be very hard and create those chiseled hard edge lights on the subject. Additionally it’ll rim out your subject more evenly from head to toe.

@deandrajarboe8280 Год назад

What are your tips for working with the brim of the cap? How do you avoid a shadow across the forehead?

@ToddEckelman90 Год назад

Have them keep their chin up a little, and don’t let them pull their hat down too far. That should help.

@michaeld1165 2 года назад

Awesome work and thanks for the inspiration!!!! I have a question for you. Is that a clothes steamer that you are using? I was going to get a fogger however this would work better for the environment that I will be working in.

@ToddEckelman90 2 года назад

Yes, it’s a clothes steamer. It works better because the steamit dissipates

The steam dissipates quick it what I was trying to say in that first reply.

What computer program are you using to have the photo pop up immediately on the screen? Still photoshop?

@ToddEckelman90 Год назад

I am using Capture One. It is a great program.

@brandonisaiahcunningham2929 3 года назад

Great tutorial. I have a few question. I see you are using a few strobes. Am I correcting in assuming your only using one as an actual strobe/flash and the rest as monolights?

@ToddEckelman90 3 года назад

HI Brandon, They are all strobes. You could use the aputure led lights as you edge lights and strobe as the main light. Just keep your strobe on low power so you don't over power the led lights. You could also shoot second curtain sync at a slow shutter speed to get some cool movement on the edges. You could give that a try. Hope this helps. Have fun!

@indrajitadvani3742 Год назад

Todd....you have an attachment with a grid on your 200ws strobe. What is the function of that attachment?

@ToddEckelman90 Год назад

I am using a 7" reflector with the 30 degree grid. This way you can control the direction and the amount of spill the light has. You don't want the light getting on the background.

@indrajitadvani3742 Год назад

@@ToddEckelman90 So that's what the grid does (right?) but what about the reflector. Sorry if this is a dumb question. I normally shoot with soft light (diffusers) so I'm curious as to why you don't

@chicubs2099 4 года назад

Hi Todd. Awesome video. Question for you: I used the Godox AD600 strobe, and I'll be using that as my key light for some studio sports portraits here in a couple of weeks. But would you have any recommendations on edge lights if I can't afford additional strobes? I was considering some cheap soft box white lights. Would those suffice?

@ToddEckelman90 4 года назад

Hey Joe Which cheap lights are they? You could also use some cheap led lights and go with a 1/15 of a sec shutter speed. It could give you some cool movement on the edges.

@chicubs2099 4 года назад

@@ToddEckelman90 Hey Todd. You're awesome for replying. I purchased some ESDDI soft box lights ... 900W. Just for edge lights. Black backdrop. I will be shooting football and volleyball shots. Mostly stills but might attempt to incorporate action

Hi, new subscriber here. Can you share the info on your steamer?

@ToddEckelman90 Год назад

Yes, I use the TRAs Steamer model # E-8 and Jiffy Steamer model # J-2. I use both and both work great. The Jiffy is more expensive but it lasts longer. I use them mainly for steaming when shooting apparel.
