Thanks again Jay P. Morgan! I love how you break everything down into clear, concise steps. I'm going to apply this approach into a series of life story interviews I'm working on in the near future. Megan put that extra spark into the demo with her claps, smiles and comments at the end.

Loved it!!! Gonna practice this when i go to my studio. Easy to understand this video

Oh, I really liked how you did that 3 light setup with only one light in the end of the video! Not only does it give an idea how to build a setup with less gear, but also helps to understand how the direction of the light works. Great job!

A convex magnifying mirror works well as the hair light working off the key soft box since it concentrates and focuses the light. I've also used silver card stock and form it into different "U" shapes to also focus the reflected light.

Excellent video my question is with grids on softboxes does a grid reduce the over all size of a softbox because of the reduction of light, say a 36 inch box with a grid is really a 30 because of the narrowing of the light therefore making the shadows harder.

@TheSlantedLens

5 жыл бұрын

i wouldn't say that it reduces the size of your softbox, but it makes it more directional. yes you will be losing power, but i don't know if there's a quantifiable difference.

Great presentation, very clear. I wonder if you have any ideas on getting rid of shadows cast on a face by spectacle frames? I'm using three point lighting, but very primitive. I'm using it to live stream. Two LED lights at 45 degrees to the face, and a third light behind. There are black bands on the eyes caused by the shadow of the spectacle frames.

@TheSlantedLens

Usually you use your key light within 6 feet of your subject matter, but it can be more. As for the background. Get it as far back as you possible can without it becoming too small. Then you can light is separately. One of the biggest mistakes people make is to get the subject too close to the background.

Thank you guys for the video, I joined a platform called Bark they have leads where you can choose from people looking for photographers I have been getting a lot of leads for Headshots for corporate and acting as well as different other events like weddings ext. I have thought about the headshots but honestly, I am afraid to mess up. I was shooting All-Star Cheer for 10 years and now I am doing photography at my kid's High School, I shot the football games and soccer games ext I do have lighting and soft boxes and would like to learn how to shoot for corporate and acting how can I get started I don't have a model to help me so would there be other options?
