@RastiSLOVAKIA 9 месяцев назад

Cool.

@Johannes 3 года назад

Beautiful! Just a quick question that popped up in my head; if you would have added a reflector on the right side of her, what would you have been looking for in the light/shadows, or otherwise, when determining the distance, position and angle?

@NathanElson 3 года назад

Thanks! It's really personal preference. If you want it as more of a rim, then further behind the model, or if more as a fill, then closer to the front. As for how much or how little fill you want, again it all depends on the mood you're going for.

@jamesamoh7340 3 года назад

I love your timeless color grading. Not only this one but throughout your work. I still need to improve my editing. It’s the final puzzle in the jigsaw. Any recommendations haha. Thanks!

@NathanElson 3 года назад

Thanks James :) I have a couple of editing tutorials on here that might help you in the right direction.

@requirementswizard 3 месяца назад

Hi Nathan. Great video. Is it possible to use an Octa instead of an umbrella?

@DawidGdybadz 6 месяцев назад

is there also a strobe light? there was some flickers when you shot the photo? Which budget lamp would you suggest to buy for a beginner?

@seeyoosoon 3 года назад

Great video as always from you. I have a general question; do you ever shot with Sigma 50/1.4. Art? I don’t think I have seen you use it in your videos.

@NathanElson 3 года назад

Quite often actually 😉 I do favour the 85 in studio but on location I’m a big fan of the 50mm

@Azeemmerchant 2 года назад

😍🙏🏼

@jaimeduncan6167 3 года назад

It’s amazing that he had so few subscribers, nice tutorials, compact. Maybe that is the problem the algorithm tends to favor videos full of redundancy because it can put more adds.

@NathanElson 3 года назад

That's the issue I think I am running into, and one that I was talking about yesterday :) My longer videos got more traction from the recommended videos on RU-vid, which is to bad.

@john_andresen 3 года назад

Did you do some retouch on the iris or the eyes? I didn’t see any reflectors.

@NathanElson 3 года назад

Yes there is a slight edit to make the eyes pop a bit more.

@michaelosheaphotography1195 2 года назад

love your videos. I see you are now using the Z7ii. I'm looking to do upgrade from the d800. I'm a portrait shooter. would love your thoughts on the Z7ii

@NathanElson 2 года назад

I actually have the Z6II, not the Z7II, and I was using the D800 for a decade before now. I've been really enjoying the Z6II. I didn't see the extra value (+$1500) for the Z7II and I don't miss the extra megapixels.

@JohnMacLeanPhotography 3 года назад

If you want the light as close as possible, a box or octa will get you closer than a diffused umbrella. But it’s probably only a foot difference and probably not that noticeable of a difference in final results. Nice clean look on the images.

@NathanElson 3 года назад

True, I just love my umbrellas :)

@JohnMacLeanPhotography 3 года назад

@@NathanElson understood. They’re much easier to setup too. Check out the Adorama Glow deep umbrellas. A fraction of the cost of Profoto, and they appear to be identical build.

@brizzle3903 Год назад

@MediaByRyu Год назад

Is the ad 400 pro powerful enough to get these results, with a 48-inch ez glow softbox?

@NathanElson Год назад

Yep. Definitely is. I usually fire my AD600 at 1/8th power to get f/8.

QUESTION: I really wish I could understand metering your strobe at f8, etc. without a light meter. That possible?

You can fiddle around until you get the proper exposure, the light meter just takes the guess work out of it.

Where did you locate your flash?

@DawidGdybadz 6 месяцев назад

seems like there was also some flash added

@eltiburon1983 Год назад

one question. you got one permanent light in front of her - where does the flash come from then?

@NathanElson Год назад

That's just the modeling light in the strobe, it doesn't actually do anything other than help the camera focus by casting light on the model. Wen the flash fires that's when the light for the photo comes into play.

@errole 3 года назад

I would love to see more speed light(s) setup.

@NathanElson 3 года назад

Hey Errol, I'm not a speedlite guy. I appreciate there portability, but I've always found more use in having the power and modifier options of a larger strobe over the size of a speedlite.

@Whatreally123 3 года назад

you could buy the Godox AD200 or the AD300. More powerful than speedlights but very cost effective compared to brands like Profoto. (assuming you haven't heard of Godox).

@@NathanElson yes, I have observed that in your videos. My reply was to Errol who asked about speedlights. Is it Godox that you use or rebranded StrobePro? I once got a lightstand with a boom pole from them and am mighty impressed with their quality. I guess they're Canadian as well.

Why the light flickering

@NathanElson 11 месяцев назад

Over head lights in the studio.

@DavidBoyes 2 года назад

Sorry - I do not understand. Why is your umbrella permanently lit? Where does the flash come from? Is it inside the umbrella or elsewhere? Are there other lights present? This is the biggest problem I have with many photography tutorials on RU-vid - they are not clearly explained.

@NathanElson 2 года назад

It's lit from the modeling light, and yes the light is inside the umbrella. This is a one light setup as stated in the title, so no there are not other lights present. I don't think it's a lack of explanation, I think you just need to get your hands on some gear so you know what you are looking at when you watch tutorials.
