Lindsay is a beast at everything she does I love her ❤️

@myminiadventures 3 года назад

I love shooting with Strobes but on this occasion, the natural light shots rocked!

@lindsayadlerphoto 3 года назад

Thank you! I'm torn but yea I think I agree this time. I like both! lol

@ba553y 3 года назад

Dang it Lindsay! You make it look too easy. I love the first one. The yellow theme just works it perfectly on my eyes.

@teleking58 3 года назад

I think you learn to do both. Not every situation is the same. I will admit that when someone says they are are a natural light only shooter I assume they don't know how to work with strobes.

@user-ir7ch5vp1c 3 года назад

blue one! and lindsay best photographer

@alz1188 3 года назад

Lindsay... your magical with the camera. I like them both. The 2nd one is my choice. The blue and yellow colors together, fantastic. The look of second shot is so much more dramatic.

@micknificent 3 года назад

Lindsay, my goal is to be able see the vision and to direct models as fast you do. The equipment doesn't matter so much without the vision. You're amazing at what you and its the reason you're one of my favorite photographers.

@PierreBurnaugh 3 года назад

Great shoot and video! Beautiful model and gown, also. Intriguing challenge to chose one. However, since that would be the case for a magazine piece, that’s the reality of it. I really like the first of the four (daylight exiting the taxi). But because it’s an evening gown, the the ones on the right really stand out in context. As the lighting and gel give a more night appearance (even though, shot in shaded daylight, awesome work). So, I like the lit ones more, and of those, the full body shot (third from left).

@andrewchisholm3665 3 года назад

WOW. Natural light ones look so New York and could be advertising it to tourists etc.The blue ones look so sci-fi and futuristic, very Bladerunner like. So eh I love both

@johnleftwich650 3 года назад

Love this photo shoot! My favorite is with the yellow taxi since it's more of an environmental portrait as opposed to the second which is to me a posed portrait to sell the gown. Both are great.

@larryfitzpatrick4673 3 года назад

I liked the dress highlight brought out by the strobe. But, the taxi made it a NYC shot that I liked. My choice is the taxi, because of content not lighting.

@jodyknight 3 года назад

I really loved the natural light shot as the model was getting out of the taxi/cab the line of her arm leading into her body was just so beautiful. I also liked the strobe and blue gel shots they're quite different from the other shots but still very beautiful. Thanks for the video.

@jessestarks3128 3 года назад

Both are good shots but the natural light shots have a slight edge in my opinion.

@farzinfarhang 3 года назад

Great job Lindsay, I'm a studio rat and I shoot with moonlights and packs only BUT in-this-particular-case I like the cab shots better because you still had a complete control on the result. Thumbs-up for you like always!

@jeffsimbro7742 3 года назад

I love your work! My issue is that it's hard to compare one against the other since they're two completely different scenes. It would have been nice to do natural and flash comparison with just one scene to see how it made a difference.

@Stone1108 3 года назад

The drama that the strobe gives and the tones from the dress with the reflective light contracting against the under exposed ambient light. That why I like this shot the most. However, it depends, as you say, what the purpose of the shot is. The natural light shot is cool too, especially with the passing cab in the background.

@xpy1 3 года назад

the blue was more dramatic and i do not feel it was editorial.......but the taxi shots were on point fashion editorial all day

@odinsoffphotography 3 года назад

Very impressive how many great shots you got in such a short amount of time! I’m going natural light on this one

@alexanderpons9246 3 года назад

Fantastic side by side of natural available light and studio light gear! Both images are perfect on their own, I feel that some of us photographers may be intimidated by lighting gear but ultimately it will be beneficial for our own good because in the end aside from letting natural light inspire us mastering artificial light give us more control and that will lead to more posibilities. By the way at one point in your video when shooting the yellow gown against the blue wall I loved how all of it looked, from the model on the wall, the lighting gear and the city background it could have made an interesting shot too. Thanks Ms. Lindsay Adler for all you share and thanks ADORAMA for having great profesionals on your channel teach us more about all the great gear you guys offer!

@paultranter7379 3 года назад

Much prefer the ambient light images not because of the ambient vs flash issue but due to the blue gelled light. I have a health professional background and unfortunately the blue tinged skin on the model ( who is gorgeous) reminds me very much of people who are cyanosed due to lack of oxygen. My problem though.

@pictureeyecandy 3 года назад

Both look good. Natural light only shooters can run into a lot of problems and should be adaptable and able to use artificial lighting! Using strobes just gives you more options than Natural light shooters only cannot do.

@fredzh 3 года назад

I prefer strobes for the simple fact that you ALWAYS have the option to use natural light... (better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it).

@Stone1108 3 года назад

The Strobe, oh yes.

@BlackDreadBoy 3 года назад

@king2kx 3 года назад

If you would have kept it natural with strobes it would have been a better comparison for a verses... the blue completely threw the verses out the window

@lindsayadlerphoto 3 года назад

I'll have a one-to-one comparison up on my channel soon for a different setup.

@marclabro 3 года назад

nice tuto. do you shoot in manual or aperture priority in both cases ? what is the shutter speed ? This is the question i ask myself every day, natural light (how to have eyes lighten enough without burning background, refelector or not ?) or OCf with a small diffuser like flashender3, rapidbox 66cm,... I like both types, really amazing images. however in this tuto, instead of a totally new setup with two strobes and one gel, I would have preferred same picture near the taxi with one OCF and compare eyes exposure,... and what is possible in post production to lighten face,...

@lindsayadlerphoto 3 года назад

I was shooting all manual. was super quick too make adjustments. if you check my channel I'll have a natural light vs strobe comparison coming up soon.

@jerrym8140 3 года назад

You killed it! I love them all but it has to be the use of the blue gel and that dress and model that I just absolutely ❤️ Amazing work as usual and thank you for inspiring 🙃

@marcvloeberghs881 3 года назад

For me both are as successful, my idea everything depends what and where you want to make use of this pictures, the first with ambient light I would use it in main stream publication , with keywords,such as : creation , looking forward, fashion design etc... while the second picture I would use It for publications about night outings where glamour, special creation , avant gardisme is expected. For sure, each of these pics are appealing , a must be able to create similar if ever having the idea to be taken serious about being a pro photog. Thank you for this shooting session, see /hear you.

@coolcat23 3 года назад

What's the point of doing a comparison using two different setups? Not only were the scenes very different, the briefs were as well with the flash concept not being very successful, AFAIC. Oranges and Apples?! Also, the blunt advertising for Canon mirrorless technology was really off putting. Great that you saw everything in the viewfinder with "exposure simulation". Did you see the effect of the flash as well? I guess such a small detail isn't worth mentioning.

@axelleartproduction8493 3 года назад

I like natural light....

@nighatkhan8160 3 года назад

First set of pictures they were awesome, just wanted to know how you exposed the shot. Did you exposed for the model or the background. If you expose the model correctly then background will be over exposed and if you expose for the background then your model will be underexposed.

@lindsayadlerphoto 3 года назад

thankfully I was using exposure simulation in the Canon R5 so fundamentally I was examining what looked best. It was sunny but also haze, so it made it easier to expose for both (rather than hard direct backlight)

@hom296 3 года назад

Lindsay...They are both amazing photos. Like you said ...it's depends on what they will be used for. BTW...I thought that there was an issue with being able to view each photo after each shot with flash on the camera. Or am I dreaming? joe

@shifteleven 3 года назад

I read this more about using the light that works for the photo you're making. I find it clear how the natural light gives you a natural light feel and doesn't require gear and how you can go full drama and control with the strobes. And I felt that the thesis was there is no camp that is 100% right for 100% of the shoots. But if you want something else from the shoot, I get that too.

@lindsayadlerphoto 3 года назад

@@shifteleven this is exactly the point. I didn't think natural light fit the blue wall, and I didn't think the cab needed a strobe!

@coolcat23 3 года назад

That's because she chose a not very pleasing concept for the artificial light scene. One can create very natural looking shots with artificial lighting as well. Absolutely useless "comparison".

@lindsayadlerphoto 3 года назад

@@coolcat23 lol I think it was pleasing! hahahaha

@coolcat23 3 года назад

@@lindsayadlerphoto I think we can agree that it is a different kind of "pleasing" than the natural light shot went for. :)

@MontyVideo969 3 года назад

The natural light shot looks, well, natural and the strobe shots looks "fake" so imo the shots are equally good for doing the two jobs differently.

@coolcat23 3 года назад

The two different looks are a consequence of her choice to go with two very different concepts. One can make strobe-supported shots look very natural as well. I don't think I've ever seen a more pointless "comparison".

@kevincassar8022 3 года назад

It's not the ideal comparison IMO. It's a completely different look. Shooting the same shot with natural light and strobe would have been easier to choose and notice the differences. I feel that many photographers, these days, rely on the exceptional quality/dynamic range of their cameras and rather than light up their subject and getting the best possible quality and light, they tend to shoot with available light and bring back shadows in post.

@coolcat23 3 года назад

"Not ideal" comparison is putting it very mildly. It was an absolutely useless comparison. I agree that some natural light shooters heavily rely on the dynamic range of their cameras. Some of them use available light really well and if the final result looks great, who cares what had to happen in post? Both types of light can be used to great effect; the main issue with available light is that it heavily limits your background choice, time of shooting, likelihood of the weather playing along, etc. Artificial light should be about affording the photographer more control, rather than creating garish looks.

@lindsayadlerphoto 3 года назад

@@coolcat23 @kevincassar hey guys. so the idea was that I wouldn't have shot the blue with natural light (because it wouldn't have had the pop and contrast) and I didn't think the yellow cab needed a strobe. So natural vs. strobe actually impacted my choice of location-- which is part of the story. Either way, if you watch my RU-vid channel coming up I have more of the 'exact location and shot comparison' for you coming up. Just want you are asking for!

@coolcat23 3 года назад

@@lindsayadlerphoto It's all good. I don't anyone is debating your lighting choices; they work very well for the location and what you were after. It's just that you cannot call this a "comparison" in any meaningful way, that's all.

@BobbyGiggz 3 года назад

The yellow cab and yellow dress is interesting. Most Togs would've gone with a contrasting palette of colors. The Blue gel on the Blue wall is unnecessary IMHO. If you really wanted to use a color gel, then a red Back light would be better. Flagged off the subject so that the yellow is intact, the blue wall is clearly visible, and the red back light can act as a vibrant contrast. Much appreciate the tutorial video. Keep up the good work. Cheers

@CaptainJack63 3 года назад

🤨 I really dislike the first photo as there is just too much amber applied in post. While this dress looks best, the amber cast is pulling my eye away from the dress. It looks all washed out as if you used a cheap child's toy camera. The same can be said for the strobe light as there is just too much blue which has made the dress have a green cast. In the third image, the model looks like she's a blue alien from outer space. I wish I had the RAW images to import into Capture One and show how amazing these images can really be. The shots are great. Color grading is poor. Sorry but it's how I see it. While I like natural light in photos, I don't like that I can't control it. I see many photographers use NL because it's just easy. No need to carry around and place strobes. I prefer using strobes as I can kill the NL and use my strobes to put the light where I need it. If the sun is corporative then, I let it in the shot just a bit to fill mostly the background. In a perfect world, we would have drones equipped with strobes to make lighting more of a joy than a chore. 😋
