I've not seen Chris before and really enjoyed watching how he used so many lights in that restricted space and created such great images.

Studio lighting is my favorite thing to play around

I'm four months late...Chris Knight!!! Love this!

master in his job. Great examples step by step. Nice job!

Seth, Gavin, and Daniel are my go to people with portraits but Chris is right up there with them. Love every demo this guy does.

Agreed, what a list 🙌 🙌 🙌

wonderful presentation! Always enjoy Chris’s teaching style & lighting.

Pro demo. Excellent work from the model as well.

Love what was explained at 11:00. Makes so much sense

This was great and very informative. Chris is an amazing teacher and photographer

Fantastic video. Really useful 👌🏼👍🏼👍🏼

very helpful and hope you do more complicated lighting.

Never seen one of those Avenger D570 grip arms w swivel before..now I want one!!

This was dope, definitely saving this

He’s a good model

Excellent as always, from Chris. Such a master of light.

This was excellent

Thank you for joining us! Chris is awesome 😊

I might have missed that info but that is his lens? The depth it gives is quite nice!

interesting, thank you. although taking a headshot of a model looking into a light didn't really illustrate the struggle of lighting a portrait (lets say at least half body) in a small space.

Great video. I am guessing the 100s is a medium format camera, so the conversation lf focal lengths to 35mm would increase not decrease the equivalency? I.e. a 55mm on medium format is possibly 70mm and not 40mm?

@glassosiris - MF goes down in mm fov, crop sensor gives more mm fov … mf 55mm will equal 44mm fov in FF

Always interesting to learn. I will say that it would have been better if the model did the same pose each time instead of moving his head in different directions. That way we can compare apples to apples

Were you once a sales person in Donaldsons in Sayville NY?

Chris sounds like Kenny Florian.

now THAT is a portrait model. wow lol

I think if the subject was very close to the modifier, or the modifier was very large then the grid would have to make the light softer, because the angle from the furthest part of the modifier would be greater and so the grid would block that light and effectively make the glowing surface smaller. Maybe that rarely happens in practice.

Grids don’t affect the hardness or softness of a light.

@@memcrew1 Why not? If you look at a grid from very close you'll see it makes the effective part of the light smaller, as it blocks light coming from the edges as that would require an extreme angle. And a smaller light is a harder light.
