Mastering One Light | Chris Knight 

A free master class in lighting. What’s not to like? Thank you!

Chris knight knows his stuff hence I listen to him 100% . He is the true master of light.

It's an easily digestible explanation and demonstration of studio lighting basics. Thank you for this incredible video.

The autofocus on that Pentax is hilarious. Dinosaur lol

The most thorough lighting video I've seen so far. Great job!

Excellent!

Really good video...he didn't move too fast for those just starting to get into portrait lighting. The real time demonstrations really helped clarify the subtle differences between light positions.

Fantastic learnt so much

Very well explained with plenty of examples. Very knowledgeable.

Thanks Chris for sharing so valuable tips on lighting & the entire crew member .Plz i am looking forward to see more videos about advance lighting .

Light bending for a novice photographer and jaw dropping. Thank you for brilliant work and the illustrations of how to shape light. Loved this presentation and keep up the great work.

Awesome!! Hope to see more of his seminars on the web. Good instructor.

Thank you for this mater class. It has inspired me try new lighting setups.

Amazing master class.

Perfect class on the lighting. Hats off to you

Thank you so much. This is what I interested in.

Chris this is a great video. Thanks!

The closer you get the more contrast you also will see

I really enjoyed this session, very informative and he teaches so you understand it. But I kept looking at his white shoes on the dark floor. Case in point!

Thx Chris. Just watched this. Very detailed and informative. Best video on one light have watched.

great demonstration thanks

Thanks for sharing 💜💜💜

Great! Thankyou !

This is awesome

Flash is controlled by ISO, Aperture and proximity only, Shutter speed has no effect on the actual flash exposure. In one sense one person is correct, the aperture should not own you you own it, if I want a specific F stop I will adjust power accordingly. I don't just through up a flash and modifier and set the F stop to match it. I always choose a Fstop that does what I need and adjust power of flash to give me that and I will set my flash distance for a specific purpose and adjust accordingly. I see to many beginners put up there flash and guess a distance and then set the Fstop to what it shows on the meter. You should be in control of the aperture and distance not a slave to what the flash gives you. There is a reason for the modifier, distance from subject and desired Fstop.

Scrims move... moving a scrum around is a great way to use the tool....

Thanks Chris it was helpful

Why 42 negative. I believe this is very well and great information Chris thank you for sharing your passion 😎🇺🇸💯

Besides all the great information, I think my favorite part of this is his how he pronounced poo-poo. "Puh-poo."

Chris, nice workshop but I really do believe that you need to invest for a good and fast mirrorless camera :)

seems like the inverse square law has a paradoxical qulality to it in photography in that if you place a light closer to someone you need to bring the power down for the right exposure and then this makes the background darker.. then if you move the light farther away you need to bring the light level up for the right exposure and then the background gets brighter.. yeah its farther away but its more bright and the background is more evenly lit than if its closer and less bright.. kind of an inverse square law paradox when thinking about light levels..

So how do you decide whether to make the portrait contrast or glamorous? Does the client tell you how they want the portrait made?

did I miss why his WB is set at shade instead of flash

Man, Colin Farrell lost a lot of weight for this role

im a noob in this. do you use a key light to create the effect you want with the flashlight? or just the key light? I couldnt tell.

Kay...

What strobe is that?

Okay

49:08 poor Phil he gets messed with and also get to control him Ross from Friends I never knew he was a photographer let alone a Phil control freak (:

He's using a Microsoft Surface :)

If someone doesnt mind clarifying. The flash is coming from the camera itself? oorr....

30:17 what did he use ? Lightmeter?

looks like he is using canon camera but the zoom is noisy. good photos though

25:00

Death by PowerPoint! I need to give this guy some ideas on how to present a visual medium.

Great info but was distracted by the Beautiful model.

Is anyone else seeing the flickering light from the modeling light. I wonder if it's quartz or LED. Man that gets irritating.

Ryan Reynold's geekier younger brother.

bottom line is pentex sucks at focusing

Wow...this was painful to watch. He definitely knows his stuff, no question there. It would've been nice to see actual modifiers instead of just talking about it.

Your model looks like a james bond girl

I got bored to death half way through. At one time this type of class would of been awesome. Now more a shill for newer photographers to be sold on gear.

This is not a beauty dish, it's just an octabox with a reflector in the middle... unfortunately this mistake is made more and more often. From a baseball is also no tennis ball when it is painted yellow ...

is that AF drive seriously that loud. and slow.

Aperture value should never, ever use for to adjust exposure, period. Its only for DOF adjustment. We actually have to adjust the light power base on the desire aperture value not the opposite. Please B&H, these are the basics of photography.

The modeling light on the B1 flickering so much that the meter is totaly lost when it's on... it's a shame at this price range, and for a product designed mostly for professionals who always use a lightmeter

Learnt quite a bit from this video. just wish he was a bit more eloquent and charismatic. Because at times it was very tedious to watch.
