This video changed my life. I was an amateur photographer, but after watching this video, I was determined to became a wedding photographer, and I did and I found my wife thru photography circles and had a beautiful baby boy. Love you Jerry…❤️

The BEST, by far, video on how to use light. AMAZING!!!

Out of all the presentations I have seen B&H put out, this one was the best, the most informative, most useful, this guy is good and he has a way of showing it. His work speaks for itself, but his way of explaining everything is amazing. Bring him back to do more presentations. Loved it.

Can’t believe I watched the whole thing non stop. I was hooked. Learned a lot. Now I want to go out and find pockets of light 😌 Amazing!

i've been taking photos for well over thirty years,and have been surfing the net like crazy.ever since i've just purchased my first canon,and may i say i've learn't the most out of your lecture,and would like to thank you ,for sharing that experience,on the net

I had the pleasure of meeting Jerry in NJ and his seminar has helped me to take my style and creation to another level. Thanks B&H for this video

There is no reason to make everything so complex, simplicity can take you so very far. Great talk. Thank you

have to comment again, this is the only video i actually want to watch again and again. I'm blown away with the simplicity, yet totally beautiful images. Thumbs up from me!

Thanks for this talk, ***** . This is one of the most informative and detailed discussions on the subject of light. On the subject of focus: "I have a very low tolerance for lack of sharpness, in the sense that if I want to focus on the person, and if the closest eyeball to camera is not in focus, I delete it. I have very low tolerance. If it's deliberate it's totally fine. But for me, if it's just slightly out, I can't - I just can't - my heart hurts a little bit. Most people - you know what they do if it's out of focus? - they make it black and white, add some noise, add some vignette and it's art. I can't do that." :D

This is one of the best workshop so far from B&H Jerry makes anything looks easy and fun.

the man has got a talent for both photography and teaching. #1 tutorial video.

i would just like to say a big thankyou to BH for making these videos available on you tube, they serve as great inspiration for photographers like myself and many others. Thanks BH :)

I really like this guy. He speaks very clearly and in simple terms and is not haughty. I am at his webiste at the same time and his shots are amazing. I love using strobes and have been mainly a strobist since i started in 2011. Now i find myself learning natural light. The shots hes pointed out are so inspiring especially the couple with red sign as backdrop and the large shadows on the wall.Thanks for sharing.

I used to think that professional looking photos needed complex lighting set up. This totally changed my mind

I recently attended one of Jerry's workshops. He did shoot live and tethered so we attending could see what he was getting out of camera. I can't speak to any of the shots in this video, but I do know that what he was getting out of camera was high contrast and looked photoshopped. In a good way. I would have to do a double take to look at what was being photographed and what my eyes saw and what he was getting out of camera. It was pretty amazing. I thought most of his work was heavily post processed, but I have to say, after seeing it live, The guys seriously knows what he is doing in camera. He's like a magician.

Simply amazing... One of the best and most inspiring videos I've ever seen. Thank you so much Jerry for sharing your knowledge and talent with us!

We are actively seeking another presentation from Jerry Ghionis. Thanks for watching.

Jerry is a master of taking control of any situation and MacGyvering it!

We are working to bring Jerry Ghionis back to the Event Space this year. Thanks for watching.

First time I've watched a product video where where I felt I wasn't watching a product video, very useful information. Thanks Jerry.

I've watched this presentation several times, and I have learned something each time. Thanks, Jerry.........Thanks B&H!

@MegaMADvideo Glad you enjoyed the presentation. Thank you for watching.

I like and love this tutorial because it's not a camera technic, but a mind one. And it's the most important thing to inspire an artist. This inspire me. Thank you

@Sean Mason Thank you for watching the B&H Photo KZread Channel and for your participation. We are very pleased that you derive value from and find our presentations useful and informative.

I *love* light and thoroughly enjoyed every minute of this video, gaining even more inspiration from Jerry Ghionis. Excellent.

Very, very good seminar!!! Peter Hurley should watch it over and over again!

I've watched this video twice today; B&H, this is by far the best. I've been a little lost with my photography lately, but this has inspired me to get back out there and look at things in a new light. No pun intended!!

best presentation on youtube I have seen yet!!!

Jerry Ghionis & BHP...great presentation. I haven't been shooting during the day much (because of bright light) and my family responsibilities take up most of my "golden hour" time. You have truly given me a gift with your daylight shooting ideas. Thank you so much for sharing. AMAZING!

Our pleasure. Thank you for watching.

loved this one by B&H! so inspirational and am such a fan of this photographer now! i learned so much from this. the way he presented his photos and explained the magic behind them was so great. thank you so much for sharing!!

Yes. He's referring to the use of your exposure lock. Basically, it goes like this: 1. Point your camera at the background to take a reading off the background. For example the horizon, including much of the sky. 2. Press your exposure lock. 3. Recompose on the subject and use your speedlight or other lights to fill in the foreground subject correctly. This should give you an image that is exposed for the background and the foreground.

"Sometimes when you are afraid of something you ignore the possibility of what it can actually be." Wise words! #photography #inspiration

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this presentation. learned more about composition and light than i was able to reading numerous books and watching other videos! please bring him back for more!!!!

The best wedding photographer ever! No one like him so talented and God blessed with a such sense of artistry.

Most welcome. Glad you like. Thank you for watching.

Most welcome and thank you for watching.

This is one of the finest instructions on the subject of light I have ever seen. Thinking outside the box! Love it

Welcome and thank you for watching. We look forward to earning your trust for many years to com.

@clementeen Thank you for watching the B&H Photo KZread Channel and for your participation. We are very pleased that you derive value from and find our presentations useful and informative.

BH help me sooo much as a photography student .. and i would always thank you BH for all what you learn me and not only ! Once again THANK YOU !

What a creative photographer!

Every tutorial I watch with you is amazing. So many golden nuggets of information always. Thank you 😊

Most welcome. Thank you for watching.

This is the best video I have ever seen on how get use with any available light.. thanks

A fantastic tutorial. A lot of the compositional inspiration is obviously where this guys talent exists. You can't necessarily teach that but at least we can draw inspiration from it. It really is all about the mindset. I really enjoyed this video !

thanks Jerry i've learnt a huge amount from this one video. I like the way you teach and your sense of humour. The tips about natural reflectors are helpful as are twisting the on-camera flash. Cheers

Great ideas to stir the creative process! Thank you B&H... and thank you, Jerry for sharing your experience & knowledge. 👍

One of the better presentations I ever seen. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and for the good sense of humor

Jerry makes this stuff so accessible and fun. Thank you for posting this.

Jerry, this was one of the finest presentation that I've come across. Thank you so much, I am going to use it as a reference in day to day shooting. Absolutely wonderful!

sat for 6hrs, watching this inspiring video. Time, just, flew by, just like when on a good sailing day. Took notes, and photos. Excellent presentation from B&H and the author.

This has got to be the best video on light that I've seen yet! Watching it for a second time. Thanks so much!

This is the best video I've seen (period). Informational, entertaining, and inspirational, what more can you ask for!

To see how Jerry gets his exposure look up his other video "Posing Everyone". It is 2hrs 1min 30sec in.

Seriously the best photography lecture I have seen online. I've learnt so much about something so fundamental.

Jerry i cant thank you enough for many things, for letting me understand whats light though im enthusiastic amateur, for the very easy way of explaining big issues, for your extraordinary personality of yours, Thaaaaaaaaanks

Absolutely excellent video, B&H! I wholeheartedly agree with Constantin Gaftoi in saying that's the best use of an hour and forty-four minutes I've had in a long time.

Very, very good! Some excellent tips in there and thanks to both Jerry and B&H, much appreciated.

Yes, Please. More Jerry!!! Love listening to him. So captivating and lots of personality. Would love to know the exposure technique he uses.

Fabulous... Absolutely fabulous. I've been intrigued by the ice lights and this demo put me right over the edge. I've been considering every lighting option for portable video lighting and this did the trick. I used Kino Flo's in the past and don't have the budget for them now. The ice lights will work perfectly for product and interview shots as well as for creative stills! Sweet!

I am just speechless and dazzled by the thought process and perspective what Jerry has. Truly an inspirational figure and an amazing explanation in the video . U have inspired me Jerry :)

Thank you, this is the most informational useful video I've seen in a while. I appreciate it very much. Far more into what I want to create (and how) than any other portrait video I've seen.

This was extremely helpful. He does a great job explaining in words and actions that I can understand. Although I am not a wedding photography I learned a lot from watching this video. Thank you Jerry Ghionis and thank you B&H

The most inspiring video I have ever watched on KZread. Thank you very much for uploading!

The best tutorial I have ever watched! Thank you Jerry and B&H for helping me to become a better photographer! ~ Judy

Best two hours spent in a long time! Thank you for posting this! :)

This was great. It be nice if the exposure settings mentioned by Jerry could be shared. Thanks B&H for organizing these seminars and posting it on the net. This enables amateurs like me who live on the other side of the world to be exposed to great photographers and their craft.

Wow, this guy is like Leonardo da Vinci of photography.. His ability to use every kind of light is amazing..

What a great video, I learned so much! Thanks Jerry.

Best video i had ever seen from B&H! Thanks for this great show!

A whole new world of possibilities has opened up to me, thank you B&H for one of the most inspiring and important presentations I have seen

Lol, I didn't know Jerry Ghionis will be the speaker. This dude is my fav. wedding photographer.

Thank you, I have watched this presentation more than once and it is fantastic. Just love it. Can we see more of Jerry presentations? please.

Amazing! Jerry makes it look so easy :)

Very good info - and a joy to watch

Thanks for sharing Jerry Ghionis and B&H. This presentation was very informative and quite inspirational to say the least.

Great seminar, the speaker was interesting, fun, and easy to understand. subscribed.

Excellent!! Learn a lot from your lesson and understand some of my mistakes. Now I will think more on lighting before shooting.

Great information and inspirartion...thanks Jerry and B&H!

Kept my interest the whole time, thanks for the ideas! And now I know what that shadow from the orange umbrella is from.

Every time I watch this, I learn something new. Possibly the best talk from B&H.

this was great! i loved how early in the video he talked about carrying less gear...and then closes the seminar by selling gear.

Thanks SO much for all of the feedback! @gforgurpreet, the white balance for that image was daylight. When you have someone sitting next to a lamp and using that as your main light source, you need to expose for the highlights. That will result in all of the ambiance to go dark. Look at the before and after side-by-side images for that example and you'll see what I mean. If you expose for the highlights, though, your subject will not be overexposed and the surroundings will fade away.

when you see this and the results is when you understand the hours upon hours of practice and selection of only the most basics of light devices.

Excellent video! Learned so much. I see many comments about him not going over his exposure settings. What I took away is essentially set your exposure for the background, sometimes slightly underexposed, and then accentuate and separate your subject with the added light source. The settings of your exposure triangle are going to be different for every situation depending on the light present so there is no set standard.

Jerry is the man. BRAVO!

This is one of the most amazing and inspiring presentation. Thanks Jerry Ghionis and BHPhotoVideoProAudio

Jerry discussed that during the outdoors portion of the event, which we were not equipped to record that day. We apologize that we were not able to record that portion of the talk. Thanks for watching.

Very nice video, it's great to see creative options and ideas for shooting and working within the environment that you have.

Thanks for sharing your experience ...

I agree with most, that there are a lot of inovative approaches to photograhpy and that Jerry really knows how to make the best out of any given lighting situation. I also really appreciate the sharing of that knowledge. But i think i speak for many people when i say that what seperates us amateur photographers from pros like Jerry is not creativity, but experience on set. And i do not feel like i know how to expose in different situations.

great video.... def gonna watch again

Very few people see extraordinary in ordinary this guy is a natural!

amazingly helpful and such wonderful instruction.

wow, that is amazing to watch and learn. Thank you B&H and Jerry

Jerry's understanding of light is profound. Inspiring.

This is absolutely brilliant, thank you for sharing this!
