I'm so happy to subscribe this channel where I learn a lot of creative ideas for shooting pictures. This channel has taken my works to next level. Thanks Miguel for such lovely videos. Love 💕 from India 🇮🇳

I should check out your channel more often. Good refresher course and my pictures gotten better. Have a great weekend and thanks for giving back to the community.

Thankyou so much! This is so awesome! I had a photosjoot with my daughter yesterday. I'm a amateur that love photography. My daughters pictures came out so beautiful. However, the black backdrop looked faded. Thanks for sharing your talents!!!!

Hope you guys enjoyed the 2nd installment in this series! What light shaper would you like to see me cover next?

What about a shoot through umbrella on location?

How about led lights, or continual lighting?

What about using snoots, gels, or a cuculoris cookie? I love the patterns that you can get using cookies, window blinds or other similar accessories.

Thanks, enjoyed the instruction and the model did a fantastic job. Please extend my thanks to her also.

I will have to start adding to my photo lighting gear here in the Philippines so I can experiment with these methods. Thanks.

I am sadly nearly deaf even without hearing I really enjoy the visuals on your videos and this model so beautiful inspires me not to give up thank you both

Still my favorite video. If I do a photo shoot, will follow suggestions.

I like all of the setups and looks but I LOVE the moody look when you placed the umbrella over head and did the "Sandwich"! Thanks for making this video!!

Dont know how to express my gratitude for your work, this video has helped me a lot to start learning to shoot with OCF, thanks alot for your help !!!

Loved this! People like to crap on umbrellas so much but they're my favourite modifiers. Thanks for this :)

Very helpful I like the way you explain things

Learnt a lot. My favourite one is the setup #5 you placing the umbrella behind the object from Ghana.

This would be great for beauty or jewelry campaign. Looks great!!

Excellent video. Great examples.

Dude, these are all killer images. Superb editing too; not long-winded or leaving anything out, just the right amount of info. And the detailed hi-res images and crops really give a chance to appreciate the subtleties of each modifier/setup, and they're left up for a long enough time that I can pause to study it more if needed. Overlooking that part ruins so many other tutorials for me; too many people show video of their tethered laptop or put a fuzzy image up for half a second so you have to scrub back and ninja-pause to see the result. The whole point is connecting an approach to an end product, and this video accomplishes it beautifully. Thanks for making this.

Dear god these are some of the finest portraits and light set ups I’ve seen on KZread! Great job! Thank you VERY much!

Thanks for watching! Couldn't agree more, the whole team made this thing possible!

beautiful images! Umbrellas are still my favorite light modifier.

Wow simple but so beautiful

Hope to see another sample video when not busy. Great work as always.

Even though this video is 2 years old, I've been producing more lighting techniques and found my answers! On 6:42, both photos I DEFINITLEY love, but I would go with the second one because it gives it more pop to the subject!

This my favorite video from since has great music, and video. Kudos to you and your team.

Phenomenal video!! Thanks for sharing

Who can possibly choose? All of these photos are unique and absolutely perfect in their own special way. No way to pick one.

Fantastic insight! Not as difficult now that you've explained this. Excellent content Miguel

Aldo, Wendy, that would be killer content. Miguel, fabulous techniques. Thank you.

wanted to know the difference between a shallow and deep umbrella, was not disappointed, thanks.

Saved. Im buying my first large umbrella next week, maybe two depending on my budget. This bideo will come in handy for sure. I just need to get one more strobe to pair with the one i have, but my speedlites will do for now.

I hope to see more these videos when you have the time. Great work. Bring back itmasu the model when you can. She a great model.

Thank you Miguel.

Thank you for these helpful videos :)

Fantastic video and so much I picked up from. Thanks Miguel.

Incredible man, so much knowledge. God bless you Miguel

Very glad I found this. Thank you sir. The way you put it and show helps me understand it a lot better.

Thanks!! It's one of my favorites from that set too 🙌📸

I would like to see what new in lighting and more portraits of Katylin or other models.

one word : Wow! keep inspiring miguel

I’ve always wanted this video. Thank you so very much for making it with Profoto umbrellas

A very good bit of info st s good length of time, meaning not to much! Just what was needed... Good job, thoroughly enjoyed this

The level of detail is incredible. The fine hairs on her nose are even in focus.

Very informative!

Another awesome video. I am going to try that last set up in my next home studio shoot!

Nice work Mr. Quiles. Appreciate the lessons for sure.

Thank for sharing. Those are simple and easy setup but give great results! I luv this. Thanks

Beautiful shots. There is no best

This is soooo helpful

Absolutely awesome video!!! Love the idea of using the umbrella as a backdrop! Thanks!

That last setup. #Dope! Will try them all!

omg wow these pics are incredible! thanks so much for posting this Miguel!

I'm happy I found this channel. The contents are very interesting and inspiring.

So happy you found it! Much more to come soon :)

Great information. Will have to try a couple of these setups. IMHO it's always best to get it right in camera rather than underexposed and then trying to bring it back in post and most likely introducing noise.

Great techniques...I'm super excited to try these setups

another well done video. I like your style, Miguel

Nice presentation, instruction, and guide... Thank you sir...

I'd love to know your backstory. How you started in photography, the equipment you began with, first flash and modifier you bought, your first images, how to grow from a person to a team/studio, things like that would 1. be inspiring, 2. help me understand where I fall as a photographer and how I can improve to grow my business. More or less give us some insight as to where you came from and how you got to where you are. Loved the video btw

Yes this please.

For the last setup, I would add a diffusion blanket between the light and the subject, as I don't like the umbrella to show up as a background. A second light source in front is a nice addition to avoid having to recover the shadows. The v-flats are a nice touch.

Now I want to see a follow up editing video on this look. Spectacular 🤩

Miguel, this is really helpful. I have been struggling to find the write content to teach me about lights. This one is byfar the best. Thanks a ton.

Each photo is my favorite! Thanks

Best lighting tutorial sir, thank you so much, i just purchased a selens umbrella and can’t wait to try those settings.

Thanks Miguel great info and I'll try what I can but I only have the Rotolight neo2 🤷🏽‍♀️

I really enjoy your videos Miguel, you just get straight to what we are looking for without wasting time on useless stuff. Keep up the great work! Enrico

What a great video! I don't shoot flash photography. You have caused me to want to dabble in it! Nice work and insight.

Very useful video , I learned lot from it, looking forward more videos like this keep it up good work, R.manohar , india,

Very nice Miguel, I love your last setup with two umbrellas and I look forward to try it. Amazing and thanks.

Wow. All of them please.

Awesome simple setups!!!

Miguel, another outstanding video! Just so well done. Really appreciate the attention to detail you give to each video. Thanks for sharing the knowledge.

I'd like to see a video about using spot grids on studio lights. I have a bowens 400 gemini setup but my only modifiers are the umbrellas and a soft box. Thanks MIquel! Keep the videos coming.

Straight to point, no BS no product plugs...short and sweet. Subbed and following. Great work and thank you for this very informative video.

This is so useful I always wondered how to use the umbrellas! Hope you can make another one using color gels and other looks.

Thank you sir I really appreciate the tips and tricks you are sharing hopefully when I start putting out videos they will be interesting like yours

You're the best! I didn't catch you with any bull shit like other photographers on KZread, you really know what you are talking about, you use absolutely gorgeous models and the results are stunning. Good for you and please keep it up just like this! Thank you.

Another wonderful video, Thank you for your detailed instructions...
