Seth, great demonstration! A tip I've learned over time when going for even white backgrounds in camera when tethering is you may need to correct for light falloff under your lens profile. If you find yourself troubleshooting slightly grey corners no matter how your lights are placed, or the amount of power, and you're going in circles, a slight light falloff correction for your lens profile in your tethering software may be all you need.
@LastXwitness
@LastXwitness День назад
This is true it could definitely be a factor I will say some tether softwares are better than others when keeping up with lens profiles to where you might not even realize this at all if you keep things updated and I feel the key here is most people starting out need to stay up on noticing these issues while shooting instead of seeing it after the fact or never notice it and wonder why the shots look off once a client puts them on a site that has a white background showing how gray those corners are in comparison

@LastXwitness
@LastXwitness День назад
Well it can get complicated for a lot of good reasons There’s really an infinite set of options to get a set up dialed in for commercial white and a lot of the issues can come from the variable being your environment you’re shooting in so understanding what to look for and what to do to achieve things you want is really the key and sometimes those things can get complex

With lighting the options are always endless the key is to resting all your decisions on the principles to make happen what you want to have happen. Or maybe what you didn’t expect but if you like it know how to get back there again

Thanks a ton Seth, this video cleared certain doubts that remained after watching some videos on the same subject by others. Specially taking the light meter reading hitting her head from behind to match the exposure set on camera.
@LastXwitness
@LastXwitness День назад
If you don’t over expose the back based on your exposure on the front you won’t lose details to over exposure so it makes sense especially if that’s technically just the exposure for the light bounced back from the wall that’s getting hit direct which we only need to go white right? So it’s a good base point to mitigate a bunch of things at once

Very helpful!!! I suppose one could bring some white foam core board for a background if no white wall. Then there are tradeoffs depending on the size of it. I didn't know about metering the back of the head. I always learn something new from you. Thank you!!!
@LastXwitness
@LastXwitness День назад
As a guy that’s gotta hop on a train to get somewhere. Brining a big piece of foam core and hoping it stays pristine just isn’t realistic lol. The umbrella background set up is a more practical and controllable set up .. or a 53” roll of white paper isn’t the hardest thing to get around with either but yes like I said there’s infinite ways to pull off a white background

@AaronAubreyPhoto

Interesting way to meter the back of the head.. I'll have to try that! One thing I've always done on white BG setups is to take a photo with just the BG lights, and have the key light off.. You can then look at the edges of your subjects hair and clothing for ghosting.. I like to get their silhouette crisp, and then dial in the key light. If I remember correctly, I learned this technique from Zack Arias.
@LastXwitness
@LastXwitness День назад
Yea again infinite ways to get it In this method if you start with the light on your subject metered then you know where your threshold for the back of the subject is. So f8 front f8 back and that back of subject exposure is metering a bounced light thus thus the direct light hitting the white will def be over exposed in comparison giving you pure commercial white sooo I just felt this method mitigates a few things at once and also shows things to look for . If you’re no experienced balancing I feel you can get in a sand trap of starting with the back lights since all you need is white back there not a exposure to show something in frame where as the key light exposure gives you a base point for the entire set up to fall into line which is a more crucial exposure than anything else in the frame . This also changes based on the conditions of the environment like how much distance you have the luxury of working with or in my case having to deal with an all white room bouncing light everywhere pushing your sanity over the edge when you’re looking for more control. lol
@AaronAubreyPhoto
@AaronAubreyPhoto День назад
@@LastXwitness Yee!! I generally don't meter unless I'm shooting on white. I found that when doing the method of metering your white BG about 2/3 to a stop over what is on your subject, you can get that ghosting due to all those factors of the environment you talked about..I just always tried to tweak and find my way to where I wanted to be by getting a sharp silhouette of my subject first, while keeping my BG 255 white. Sometimes I'd be more than a stop over, sometimes 2/3 of a stop. But I really see where you're coming from in metering the back of the subject to match what you're putting onto them. I'm definitely going to give your method a go next time!!
