Where was this video when I was starting my channel?? Seriously, amazing tutorial. You know how to teach.

@ishepard2 12 дней назад

There's a bunch of things to consider. There's the inverse square law that basically means that the farther away your lighting sources are, the more power you need on them to produce the light that you had when it was close to you. Also the fact that once you add a soft box to a light source, you're spreading the light out, yes, but you're also reducing the overall output because that same amount of light is now being redirected and flattened out over a wider area. So if you go with a very large soft box you will need a very powerful light in it to evenly distribute the light and have it remain as powerful as it was before.

@Vighnesh.M.Productions 7 дней назад

Something you did not mention but is important to note 11:38: LED panels used in studio lighting can produce aliased shadows due to their design. Each panel consists of many individual LEDs, not a single light source. As a result, each LED casts its own shadow, leading to multiple overlapping, slightly offset shadows. This creates a jagged or aliased shadow effect, as the individual light points are not perfectly aligned.

Not it you use a softbox which you should

@klugblogger-mitsharyreeves8229 8 дней назад

Good video come from TV myself and have been working with light for a long time... an addition that you might not know, but if you do something in this direction again here we go… there is still the difference between people with light and people with dark skin (like me, here it is different because of the mixed colors) accordingly I have to adjust the light color, because especially with dark skin the color nuances vary is absolutely necessary with the light source to adapt accordingly... In the analogue era I come from, there were Kodak and Fuji, among others, one was adapted for light skin and the other for Asian skin, so there was a different color management for cameras for a long time, ergo Sony vs. Canon... Color combinations didn't just come about that way, they should also support the reproduction of skin nuances... whenever you would like to know more let me know… a really good video thanks 🙏🏾

@MrPaulXavier Месяц назад

Thanks! So this was a little more about the "gear" not so much the "how to light" but yes you would want a backlight and fill light in different scenarios as well.
