How use stripbox for portrait photography on location
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
In this video, I'll show you how I use strip when shooting on location. I'll show you how to use stripbox creatively to get better portrait lighting and to make better portrait photography. I'm using Profoto OCF 1x3' stripbox on my sample photos but you can get the same result with any brand.

Thanks Kyle. Great idea.
Good idea! I never thought of that. I'm subscribing to your channel.
I'm definitely going to try this!
Nice natural looking light
I love my 1x3 strip box. I have a Rapidbox from Westcott.
Nice job, looking at the 1' x 4' strip by Westcott, you sold me...Like your photography also...J

Thanks for the lovely video. No grid with the strip box?

Correct
Great video! Do you think a 14x48 stripbox would be too large to achieve this kind of focused soft light? Would a 9x35 be a bit too small? Thanks!
For my taste it adds to much flat light however as a back light or side light to create separation it’s the best
You are awesome. Thankyou very much for that . :)

Thank you Craig, I'll upload more videos soon. Stay tuned!
I'm going to try my strip box out today
Very nice results! How strong of a flash do you need to accomplish shots in that harsh lighting? Can you accomplish that with a mid-level speedlight? Or would I need a $2k strobe?

To deal with the harsh sun, one speed light won't be enough. You'll need a strobe but doesn't have to be 2k.

1x3 is what I use the most
Where are you pointing the head of the flash? I’m wondering if it’s directly pointing at the model especially when you’re trying to wrap the light around. Thank your for educating us.
Is a really good video and the photos got good result. One question, how do you compare the stripbox and the beauty dish (or 2x3" softbox) for portrait photo? Any particular area we have to pay attention when choosing these modifier?

Beauty dish is good for headshots because it better protect the shadow under the chin, but not so good for 3/4 or full body especially when the color temperature of your ambient is very different from your strobe.
May I ask, seeing that you are getting a nice DOF in mid day, are you using a ND or CPL on these shots? curious what you are stopping down to so its not completely blown out while getting nice bokeh?

Steve Sargente all the sample photos on this video are done using HSS. I did start using ND filter later on. I used 3stop b+w multi coating ND.
hi, great video, are you using HSS for shooting?what are aperture do you use for these photos, thanx for sharing your knowledge :)
@KyleCongphoto

For these I believe I used HSS for all of them. I mostly shoot wide open F1.4

Very beautiful . Did you use ND filter on any of these shots?
Did you do anything like gels? how did you make the strobe match the sun? I always have this weird white flash look in my images :(
@KyleCongphoto

No I didn't use gel on any of these photos. You do need to match the color with the sun and sometimes gel is the only choice, but I found as long as I'm not shooting too close to the golden hours I'm fine without it.
Thanks for sharing! You are so right about horizontal! Question, is that just a normal light stand @ 5:17? Tilted over?
@KyleCongphoto

Yes, just a normal light stand. Boom stand will be even better but they are heavier.
Do you have a preference 1'x4' versus 1'x3' ?

Brand doesn’t matter. I recommend 200-250ws light.

What mount doesn’t matter either. Pick whatever is your favorite. How you use the light is what make the real difference.
I think this is interesting because you never see strip box out in open
