Great explanations. Thorough, detailed, quick and concise. That is four for four in my book. Thank you both for your time!

I love your presentation, you seem excited, interested and smart from the first 1 minute, it makes me feel safe that you know what you are talking about, which after all these years you obviouslyly do!

Thank you Mark! This is an outstanding side by side by side comparison of the 3 light sources. And your running commentary explaining how to evaluate each is very helpful. The difference between the umbrella and softbox is a much greater difference than I would have expected. Thank you to you and Adorama who does all my prints and photo books.

Hey Mark , great tutorial , beautiful model ,and your Spanish is great too ...

This was really great/helpful; thanks, Mark!

Thank you, excellent demonstration!

This is a really Great and professional video, thank you so much man!! ❤️

you guys are doing good for us to learn and elevate our skills

This is great, and I'd love to see another with a Fresnel and a gridded 32" softbox

Nice tutorial Mark!

lovely..have to give thumbs up and save this video :)

Great video

Great video :) very helpful

Dios mio, I think i just fell in love.

good comparison, good video. congratulations! one question; Did you do any photo editing? like contrast color correction and others? or simply not edited.

Thank you :)

PERFECTO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi. Nice video. You are very close to the white background using f8. How do you manage to avoid the wrinkles and imperfections in the background appearing in the photo? Thanks

14 minutes and 25 seconds of Annabella. I had forgotten what I was here for.

It hadn’t occurred to me that the silver parabolic would actually increase the resulting light output. Would the use of a fabric diffuser cover, similar to on a soft box, work well with this without having a net loss of light output?

Can You tell US what f You used with the softbox?

This was really great. I have a studio shoot coming up and I’m looking forward to trying some of what I’ve been learning from you here and also from several other of your tutorials. Also, I like the perspective in these images a lot. Would you mind sharing the focal length you selected for these?

Exactly the video I have been needing! I’m trying to pick 2-3 modifiers to start a in-home studio. I really like that magnum reflector! What 3 modifiers would you suggest to start with?

White umbrella. Medium softbox. Small ocotobox.

With the hard light, what chin shadows we're you trying to reduce? I started to read more shadows when you directed the models face toward the camera

It's the shadow on the neck. It's a "slash" across her neck when her head is turned instead of even when she faces the light.

Mark, you’re so predictable. Your vids are always perfect and always deliver a punch! Thanks! BTW, OMG she is sooooo beautiful!

Very nice. I was just missing a deep octa, because light produced by that is also very different. Even from the same 3 foot size...

Sounds like a good follow up video. We can start comparing modifiers used with different positions (as you would normally use them).

Good video Mark so is better softbox o umbrella? Can you doing a video tutorial how to use Sekonic L-478DR-U i have 2 light Profoto 1bx, i can get to work Thank You!

That was informative. The shadows from the magnum reflector are excellent. I noticed some posterization in the shadows - is that there in the original or is that KZread compression?

@MarkWallaceVideos

That's the compression from KZread. Sadly, we can't control the compression from KZread.

great video. But Im confused, is the lighting continous or strobe? I see the light is continous throughout the shoot, but still seeing strobe flashing at the same time.

The strobes have modelling lights

@jpdj2715

5 жыл бұрын

In addition to Dale's reply, studio strobes generally come with modeling light. These are of two kinds: proportional or not. Proportional means the amount of modeling lights is reduced with reduction of the flash power setting. This gives the intended effect only if the heads in your studio match: when one head is 2 F stops lower than the other, the modeling light allows you to see the effect. Why stull using flash? Because it gives many times more light than halogen or LED lamps. A strong on-camera speedlight compares to about 75 Joules of flash energy. When output in 1/880 sec, the power of the flash in Watt is 66,000. Monohead studio strobes go easily to 1,200 Joules (also known as Watt.seconds or Ws, the micro version of kWh) each (generally using more time at full power: 1,200 Ws in 1/200 sec implies only 240,000 Watt - 2 F-stops more than the camera brand speedlight. Some studio strobes would release the 1,200 faster.)

Excellent explanations but...where is Natasha?

perfecto 😂👌🏻

Man now to pic the one best for dramatic cinamtic photos

Thanks for the video it looks like there is so much light that it's really uncomfortable for the model.

Beautiful model and great tips! Don't think her instagram is correct though?
