I had no idea these photo shoots were so technical and complicated. It's certainly not just point and shoot. So many external things to manipulate and so many tools to tune before you get to pull the trigger. I'm 5 videos in and I've developed quite lot of respect for the fashion photography game, both the models and the pros shooting them

Yes, I did not think about this earlier, BEFORE watching this video I was thinking the following "the best models are the slow movers" now thanks to you I have some ideas.

Bec is without a doubt the coolest, cutest assistant one can have.

This is very apposite for these lockdown times but also shows how much can be done with simple clothes and fabrics when fashion items are scarce. Thanks for a fun video.

I don't do studio photography but I enjoy watching these videos because Bec is soooooooo gorgeous. A true awesome beauty.

Just wanted to say that these demos are so helpful. I use 1, 2 and 3 light set ups, but can see the tethering really helps quickly judge the lighting... I'm gonna invest! The one thing I have found, is when shooting the waist of a model, or in my case mum to be... the strap of knicker pull the skin in at the side. I generally ask that they use low tack tape front/back and cut off the sides, so their modesty is covered, but far far less time trying to retouch natural creases. Hope that is helpful. 'Boob tape' as we call it (used to stop dresses gaping), works well on tummy/bum to aid this. Anyway, thought I'd share that! Stay safe!

@rupe53

3 жыл бұрын

Clive ... not an expert by any means, but I prefer to skip the tape and work with someone who might be less modest. The constant flinching to maintain the minor bit of extra coverage just takes away from natural movement. Get the gal to "let it happen" and worry about details in editing and sorting later.

Working in various shades of white reminds me of the days when I did B&W film and so much was about the minor variations in the shadows.... or lack of shadows in certain places. The composition of a picture is not just the subject near the center of the shot.

Nice demo of single light, simple “clothing”, and a knowledgeable model. Great job by everyone. At first, I did find it a bit hard to see exactly where the light was pointing. It sure covers a wide angle, more range of feathering than I expected. I know you use professional gear and suspect this is one really good reason why. Excellent video, thank you.

Hi Beca and Peter. another great shoot, thank you all three, beautiful. I like the subtle approaches to what you place in the background, the wall and floor backdrops for example, you shoot a lot of mono which is beautiful especially with your use of lighting, stunning. Do you ever attempt to create atmosphere with smoke for example or gobo’s and even gels when shooting colour or is that kind of thing a bit gimmicky for your taste? I guess it’s knowing what not to do as much as what to try with these things, just wondering how personally you draw the line with these kind of things in your photography Peter? Thanks, Andrew

Better title for this might be ....'without fashion clothing', other wise it makes us come to your page to see someone not wearing ANY clothing. I'd like to add that photography is key and B&W photography is always harder than colour, as that requires understanding of shadows and tones and colour gradients. I loved this tutorial. Thanks

He says: “The lighting system is pretty simple…,” as he points to this giant octagon thing hanging over his head. Man, that is some kind of studio. It feels a little like walking into Tomorrow Land, you know, with supermodels.

Thank you for this very enlightening (no pun intended) demonstration, especially in the interaction between photographer and model. I tried to get into photography (as a hobby) when I was young. When my fiancée and I compared notes, she realised that my problem was that I tended to accept the subject as given. With some luck, I could take good snapshots, but I didn't consider any of the elements of composition or presentation, such as withholding some aspect of the subject to make the viewer look for it.

It's not so much what one shows but what one says when not influenced by trends,after all we just come and we just leave as we really are Well done

I clicked on the video to see what you were going to do with the provocative title. I was pretty sure it wasn’t a swimsuit/bikini shoot or anything like that , but the title suggested something out of the ordinary . I’m starting to think maybe fashion photography is a possible career for later in life now I’m 42? There’s probably a huge history and education to be gained from a lifetime or early experience in the industry which I’m not considering but I’ll probably learn that very soon . I doubt it’s an industry you can just walk in to or everyone would be doing it.
