You are very welcome :)
The light is for your subject, the camera is for your ambient. I've always known that but hearing you put it like that will seal it in my brain forever.
Jason thank you and miss Emily I was struggling with exposing correctly I normally can't get things into my head from videos I'm a little strange that way , but after countless times I decided to search back through your videos and thank fully found this video and thanks to your none nerd straight talking and simple approach some thing clicked straight away honestly thank you for this video I cannot wait for your uk return so I can get to a work shop stay safe Jason
Best video I've seen on continuous lighting setup! Told me exactly what I needed to know and show a practical application. I would often set my exposure WITH my COB Light, but plan to set ambient first without it like I do with flash, but add in the COB later moving forward!
Great video...you can’t make it any easier than that. Love it!
I’m picking up a set of Roto lights this coming up weekend, thank you for this this information will go along way
Back in the day we called match lighting. Set for ambient and light the subject to match. Even after 50 + years of photography innovation, somethings never change. Keep up the good work Jason. BTW, that's my old stopping ground, Balboa Park. ;-)
great instruction you are one of the best thanks for your instructions keep them coming and thanks
Dear Uncle Jason!! I’m a retired photographer but I wish to compliment you on the refreshing approach you demonstrate and the motivation you give to so many viewers in your videos!!! I experienced film, then digital, and even ran my own Lab! Respect from the UK my man!!!
Awesome Video, Thanks for share your experience.
Jason is awesome at what he does for all you haters. There’s nothing wrong with this video and he shouldn’t have one thumbs down . Keep up the good work Jason I’m hoping to do one of your workshops this year.
Excellent!
Amazing work
I have almost watched all of your videos but this is the first time I found you sharing the settings. Thank you
Great video, Jason. Thank you for all your instruction. Still learning new skills after 51 years of shooting. So much fun!
Wow, thank you, really helpful.
Thank you Jason, that was really well explained
Jason making everything simple...Thanks man
Such simple steps, yet so crucial. I never would have understood the why if I haven't seen Jason's work. Thanks to you and Emily for providing such great content.
Great video guy very informative
Interesting way of working the exposure. Thanks for sharing and what you do!
HiJason ,I Thank You!! so much from the bottom of my heart for all you do for us inspiring photographer's .Your truly an inspiration and I'm looking forward to your next NYC shoot. Bless and stay safe and healthy .
Perfect way to use my rotolight's, set camera for ambient, set light for subject. Thanks Jason
I really appreciate you, your colleagues and your work!!!
This is the best damn video explaining how to do this. 5,000 people just went out and bought lighting. Great job, Jason. As always thank you. 👍🏻
Excellent tutorial, Sensei. I'll be putting this lesson to good use, soon. I have a shoot coming up.
Excellent video ! Thanks for sharing
Thanks again Jason,I have been learning from you a couple of years now and everyone has noticed the change in my work. Models are contacting me now. Exciting times,cheers again
I've heard you say it but watching at the same time is awesome!
Love these videos, brilliant tutorials, thanks Jason and Emily
Hi bro awesome technique my confusion gone today thanks a ton so while shooting with speed light what power should we set on flash and distance between subject and light
Very helpful...thanks...Its actually how I shoot Off camera FLASH...haha..Great Job...I bought my FIRST ROTO LIGHT NEO2 Last month , when you had that special.. Used it on 1 wedding last week and loved it...Thanks Again!!
Really good video
It was a very nice video explaining everything in depth and to the point. Thank you so much Jason for putting this video together. Even being an intermediate level photographer sometimes we need to go down to the basics
Thank you...
Such a great lesson, thank you very much. I just got my first rotolight neo 2 over a week ago, but was sick with the flu. Now that I feel better I’m obsessed with getting out and using it. I don’t even have an elincrom trigger yet....I have my trusty old 5D classic and a 16 foot PC synch cable. Elinchrom will likely be my next purchase....at some point.
muy bueno
This is what I was looking for when I asked for help using the light
I agree who gave this a thumbs down it was perfect to the point and something some photographers just don’t get right. Jason always keeps it simple and to the point and Emily is just so much fun!
I would love to have all the "Thumbs Down" people to actually explain what about this video was bad. Great Info!!!

Dead simple. Easy, compact way to understand how to light. Thanks, Jason!
Thanks Jason That is a darn good tip...
Excellent, Thank you!
I use the NEO 2 with phottix umbrella softboxes I get some pretty nice results. One thing that I would love because I miss doing it is can we please get a NEO that can over power the sun??? May sound crazy but I’m pretty sure Rotolight could pull it off. Anyway Thank you Jason again for the awesome tutorial!
Thank you, it's so simple.....when you know how, now I do. Thank you Jason 🙏🙏🙏
For a starter like me with Rotolight, this was very helpful. Thank you.
Learned more from you in 5 videos than 100 websites.
Awesome, some really great tips. Thanks.
This is the clip I was looking for. I am getting used to my Rotolights and I am overcomplicating it. It is easy as this. OK!
Many thanks Jason, help me a lots, 👍
Very good, thank you.
This is exactly how you light using a speedlight at night. Set your camera up for the ambient, then add flash. Low power and work your way up. If too powerful move flash further away from model or adjust flash power.

Esperaba esa explicación, gracias! Ahora usare con mas confianza mi neo 2
Just wanted to point out a few discussions and charts online about dual conversion gain CMOS sensors like the one in the Sony bodies. ISO 100 and 640 are the cleanest you'll get. Anything above that you are better off bumping in post processing. Of course the theory is one thing, wrapping my head around deliberately shooting under-exposed images is entirely something else. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this.
Thank you so much Jason , I’m going to try this out
Damn Jason I feel like I just stole something from you. Jason dropping knowledge and I’m stealing it.
Very clearly explained.
Very simple obvious logical explanation and real world demo with Emily who is ridiculously photogenic. Great photos.
Perfekt just ordered the neo 2 today and now this Vid! Perfekt. Now getting my project to convert this for Dog Photography further on.
Thank you so much Jason!!!!!!!!
Thank you Jason!
A video on composition or location scouting would be cool...
Wow had to watch this video a few times to actually understand what you saying. I’m wondering can you achieve this same shot with the rotolight neo2
Very simple but a lot of people miss it. Very successful video. Thank you for sharing
I fuggin love this dude I wish I could takes shots and shoot pics and just learn 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽

Forget the naysayers!!!!!! Jason/Em....this vid was GREAT for those of us trying to learn how to properly use our new Rotolights!!! Thanks Jason, it was perfect for me!!!!!
What a great video, Jason and Emily. You are such a great teacher and so forthcoming with information. You'll just never know how much you have changed my life for the better. I love being a photographer and blessing others with great imagery. I could never have afforded the education you've given to me to have made my dreams come true.
Great way to explain love it so simple
Awesome video Jason. It's easy as 1.. 2.. 3.
Great video. It was a,lightbulb moment in the workshop in alexandria.
Great video for me. I have but only bit experience in photography but this just blew away at the simplicity and to the point thanks
Excellent video! Thank you guys!
GREAT video. Very informative. Thank you. Good positive message. :)
Of course! Now I get it. Thank you Jason.
Can you make a video on setting the exposure on your camera when using flashes.
JL, Sony & Rotolight back together. The dream team returns... Bravo brother. See you at pinewood !!
Love this video, learned so much. Thank you for posting it, Jason.
Great video! Thanks guys!
Thank you for your clarity in regarding the lighting. Because of your videos we bought an aeos. I love it for night time shooting, but I have not been as consistent as I would like. Sincerely Janna Davis
Thank you for taking the time to create these videos!
great explanation
Very well done, Jason
Good to see more tutorials about LED lighting. You are the master. Thanks.
OK NOW I get it! When we were shooting at Bella Abzug Park in NYC with you and Emily, I was doing it backwards.(adjusting aperture and shutter speed to accommodate a low ISO). This totally makes sense and I’m excited to get out and try it. Great video!
very very helpful, wasted too much time for get a good ambiance, Thank you Sir
So simple yet so hard for some. Very well explained.
Thanks Jason. I recently got my Rotolight Neo 2 and this video is very helpful.
Great work, amazing tutorial and beautiful model. Cheers.
Wow... thank you good sir! This was new for me, and makes PERFECT sense! I’m fairly new to this hobby, so I have what might be a stupid question... :-) A simple flash with a remote and an umbrella, could be a easy way to get started, and test this technique, right? Anyway, thanks again! Kind regards Michael
Thanks, merci, you’re so inspiring !
The best tutorial for basics. Gj
Excellent. Also, looks like Balboa Park, San Diego. 😎
Great tutorial Jason !!!!
I like the look of cinematic, its really nice and I have one Neo 2 now to just test. My question is what do you do for print with the high ISO? Do you have to fix a lot of the noise for larger prints and say your above 1000 ISO. I mean cinematic is for video, but what about print quality, sorry for my ignorance its just a thought I had?
Great advice. Thanks
Would love to see how you edit a portrait photo in Lightroom or Photoshop.....
