Great end result! I usually have an assistant flip the material and shoot that without the model in the shot and stitch it all together. Otherwise you'll just continually be doing the _'black brush/white brush boogie'_ and changing the previous shots of the model to match each upcoming image of the model/background/ etc. and hope they match up.

I was totally inspired by this session and tried to create something similiar with my own flare to it. Thank you for this

subscribed... You actually explained layers better than ANYONE...i have EVER listened to...Thanks..

Have been buying a few bits amd bats over the last few week to aid in indoor shooting. Your videos are a great help

Neil you nailed it. Thanks for sharing. 🔥🔥

Perfect, your videos are inspiration to me!

Excellent job Neil! The end photograph has turned out so good! Really enjoyed helping you create this masterpiece! 🤩🤩

Thank you Neil, very good. Just one point, I always auto-align after importing to PS as well as I tend to accidentally nudge the tripod sometimes between shots. The location looks like where I used to play band rehearsals in the early 1980s, amazing natural reverb.

Thank you very much Laurence! Great point, this was the first time I had ever done this and because I had used a tripod I assumed I wouldn't need the auto-align too but you are probably right and it's probably better practice to use that option! I appreciate that :-) It's an awesome space, it's called Atlas Studios

Fantastic. How did you get rid of the smoke and smoke machine in layers? One other question, why did you use photo mechanic first, what's the benefits, could it not be done in light room or straight to photoshop? Love the final image. Well done.

Maybe helpful, when taking multiple shots like this, using back button autofocus for initial focus, then set to manual focus. Obviously don’t turn lens, but if you accidentally pressed the back button focus, then focus won’t change

Enjoyed the video, great concept and the final result was worth the effort. My question is why did you send the image back to LR instead of using the ACR filter option, perhaps converting to a smart object first? Do you think it was just easier in this case? Personally I find it easier to do things in LR than ACR so probably would have done the same as you.

@NeilRedfern

Thank you very much Trevor! Great question too, to be honest I did it this way because 90% of the editing which I do is in Lightroom so it was purely through habit and because I feel I know Lightroom pretty well. You're right though in that in this instance using ACR would probably make more sense :)

Excellent. I wonder what else this technique can be used for? Scarves? Fly fishing?

Very nice. Any regrets on shooting at 1/4 second or do you think 1/8 might be better? Just curious. Great video.

Brilliant as always Neil. Your a true artist. I'm always inspired by your creativity. 👍👍 Can I just ask about one thing which popped up on the video. You mentioned back button focus. I've heard it mentioned a few times on different videos and channels. I've tried to look for tutorials, but it's the one thing I've really struggled to get my head around. I'm not even sure if I would be able to set it up on my Canon 1300d? Is it difficult to set up....and is it worth the effort of trying to learn? If there's any advice at all you could provide it would be much appreciated. Thanks again for your videos.

Thank you so much James! Very kind. Great question. Personally I love back button focus. Basically it means that the button you currently press to both focus and take a shot, only then takes the shot - it doesn't focus. The job of focusing moves to a button on the back of your camera. Combined with AFC (continuous autofocus) it means that you can easily continue to focus on one particular area by keeping the back button held down as opposed to constantly half pressing and full pressing. It's a huge help for the bride walking down the aisle for example. It also means that you can choose your focus then take as many shots as you want without constantly having to refocus. It's hard to explain how much better this makes focusing but once you get use to it, I am sure you'll prefer it. For me it's invaluable. I may make a video on this in the future as it's a good subject. I hope this helps :-)

Great video. What tripod are you using?

Neil as usual great bit of work. Just wondering if you new you could just mask out Toni and she would not have to run out of frame like normal. Just my 2 cents mate. Cheers for all you do.

Hi Neil love that composite..... Can I ask what is the tripod you are using and lastly do you find the Magmod handle for the flash good. I looked at getting some of these for 3 Phottix Mitros flash guns but in honesty £180 seems a bit steep. As always enjoy your content.

Hello Neil, How do you decide on the numbers when you start shooting? I didn't see you using the incident light meter either. Can you please clarify that? Thanks.

Striking result!! The resulted photo is amazing. What is the tripod you are using?
