Great example of how you don't need a lot to do an amazing portrait. We use the same technique for portraits and headshots. It comes out beautiful and depending on where we position the light, we can make it more or less dramatic. Thank you for sharing the technique. Great to see and reconfirm that others do the same.

@@NeilRedfern Thank you very much. Yes, we like them a lot and our customers are very happy, so overall, it is a win / win experience.

This is an amazing shot and educative video

I love the look of the single strong overhead lighting in these photos. Very dramatic, mysterious, and beautiful. Reminds me just a little bit of the lighting that was used in parts of the famous original video for Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody. Thanks for sharing this one!!

Ok, I admit...I had to look up "4 candles" on Wikipedia. I totally get it now! & with that said, Thank God for closed captioning for some videos I watch. But, I'm here for the astounding lighting technique, & you didn't disappoint. But then, you never do.

Neil, I love your sense of play and creativity. May I suggest you try an old vintage lens, something like a cheap Helios 58mm or an old Auto-Takumar 55mm F2. I’m sure you’ll love the effect those give you.

Thank you so much Stephen! I really appreciate that, as that is what I want to come across in my videos. Ye,s, I have the Helios lens, there is a video about it on my channel, and I love old lenses. I will check out the Auto-Takumar 55mm F2 as I haven't heard of that - thank you!

Hi Neil its a popular shot, but the magbox is just too cumbersome and heavy , I use a clic octa with a grid which is much easier to use and less than a third of the weight inc speedlight.

Hey Neil one question. can u tell the power of flash light used in these pictures 1/8,1/16/ or 1/32 ?

@NeilRedfern

Жыл бұрын

Yes, it was at 1/32 power

Nice! With these new "computers" that take pictures, photography seems like it has gotten dumbed down quite a bit. It's nice to see a photographer these days that actually understands things like Inverse Square Law.

No..... the closer the light, the harder the light will be.... OMG,- you got is all wrong. Inverse Square Law,- look it up..... But hey,- you make some awefull images,- so who cares.... greating from Denmark....

@NeilRedfern

Жыл бұрын

Thank you very much for your comment but I’m afraid you are incorrect - the closer the light source the softer the light because it becomes larger. Inverse square law refers to the fall off of the light. Think of it like the sun - if there are no clouds then shadows are harsh - because the light source is far away, if there are clouds the shadows are softer because the light source is closer

I thought you are professional.
