Lindsay Adler is such a good teacher!

I absolutely love experimenting with Old Hollywood style lighting. Absolutely loved what you accomplished and shared with us. Absolutely beautiful. Thank you.

I have also been obsessed with this lighting lately!!! You nailed it!!!!

The results are stunning! Thanks for the tips Lindsay Adler.

Truly a beautiful tutorial Lindsay Adler, hooray for Old Hollywood! All the modifyers you used were great can't say one is better than the other. Thank you ADORAMA for having someone of the level of Lindsay Adler on your channel.

No one explains things better than Lindsay Adler!

i am more of a landscape/nature photographer, but these videos capture the glorious days of classic portrait photography using modern equipment. and techniques Always a takeaway from these- Thank you Lindsay- You gotta love it.

Fantastic tutorial! Beautiful model! Stunning results!! Thank you for this, Lindsay 🙌

Thank you, Lindsay. The incredible amounts of thought and hard work that you and your team put in to make this come together are really evident in the finished images (and the production video). You're a generous teacher and an amazing photographer. 😍

I concur!

Beautiful shots. And a great explanation of how you created the atmosphere with the lights. Thank you.

Great explained tutorial and amazing results. Thanks Lindsay and Adorama!

My dad was photographer and I knew that he was always trying to create Hollywood style beauty portraits (and family pictures). I inherited several old fresnel lights from him which I have been using in lighting on stage. So I know the lights and their use on stage, but I was not aware of the subtle effects which are so important when photographing people. Thank you for explaining and showing the effects in the Old Hollywood Look!

Thank you so much for the inspiration Lindsay! I tried it last week with the light modifiers I have. I'm happy with the results.

Great vid Lindsay! Vintage Hollywood is an awesome look.

This was excellent - thank you for sharing! I have a couple of Lupo fresnels and they really produce such a wonderfully different look than the myriad of soft modifiers that are so common these days for portraiture. Great to see other options for creating similar looks. Super impressive!

Love this tutorial. I may try my hand at this style of lighting. Great video as always Lindsay. 🔥🔥

Thank you for being so professional and helpful. Thank you for all your hard work!

Stunning images by a true professional 👌

Thank you for this tutorial. The photos you created with this setup are stunning! 🤩

BEAUTIFUL technique ! love it thanks for always inspiring me

incredible tutorial. so well done, so clearly explained. lindsay has such a great eye and a talent for teaching!

Loved the styling of clothes, lighting, and suggestions. Hardly wait for your next video.

Love that! Can't wait to try a Fresnel myself. Thank you!

Lindsey is one of my favorite photographers but I would love her to do the same video, using her equipment, and then show how you can recreate the same look with basic equipment. As someone on a low budget, the equipment in this video is right out of my reach

Old school,used fresnels will do a better job than this. The falloff and shadow/highlight transitions here look digital and modern, not vintage

Don't really need a video showing cheaper equipment because this already explains what you need to do. 3 light angles (key, hair, and background light), and then just a modifier to sculpt the light. Will the results be as good with cheaper equipment? Meh, probably not. There's a reason that people invest the kind of money they do to buy quality equipment. But can you get pretty good results by understanding the techniques more-so than having the matching gear? Certainly.

the best instructional video I've seen on the subject so far, just great

Absolutely love this video and the lighting!

Nice video Lindsey! I learned this kind of lighting in photography school(1995 NL) as glamour portraits. It’s old style but still very attractive! Thx!

Thanks a lot. Practical setups to test. I love that glamorous style. Keep it up with great videos

Authentic, and beautiful, Lindsay! I was reminded of a similar photo of my favorite dancer from those days, Eleanor Powell. Really nice.

This popped up on my FB feed a few days ago, I was thinking of picking up the guide, now I most certainly will. Thank you for this!

Awesome as usual

Best content on YT for me

Lovely vintage look, I love it 🥰

Lindsay thank you so much!

Whole lotta love to you Lindsay! Oh, I would have placed the model farther away from the curtain in the magnificent Magnum shots in order to reduce the specular highlight bands on it, but that's a matter of personal taste. I would not have thought of the flag - keep forgetting these and that worked really well.

Incredible tutorial, thank you!

Great lesson! ❤️

That was fun I think, with the equiptment I have I might be able to pull this off!

Stunning 👍👍👍

Queen Lindsay!! I Salute!!

Hermosa luz , lovely light 👏 Lindsey 📸

Good work kid. Great lighting tips. Thx big time !

Thank you Lindsay. Wonderful video, inspiring. Greetz from Germany.

Awesome teacher!

Fabulous, thank you!

Wow this makes me want to get into photography. Great.

Very nice, liked the use of single strips to highlight the model hair from above and side. All good, thanks.

fantastic video - what a stunning look - and great advice re being careful about settings - in particular shutter speed without the strobe to freeze the action.

Brilliant, thank you for this invaluable lesson.

Damn! I mean…I don’t have the words to express how amazing this is 😃! This is some gangsta, old school, and simple sh#t! Those final images 😊👌🏾, just perfect.

Excellent video Thanks you for sharing

5:36 wow....this shot is solid! 🔥🔥🔥

Ever amazing videos and... Photos. 😄

Thanks Lindsay, beautiful pictures as usual and very helpful video. One question, in you first setup, was the Forza 500 at full power ? Do you think a Forza 300 will be sufficient (with the Fresnel lens) for such a light scheme ?

Beautiful ❤…. happy Day

Thank you

I have the guide, awesome. But i cant find a big reflector with a bowens mount!

Love the drama of the lighting from the golden era of Hollywood, the best era of Hollywood. Favorite light was at 7:31, I like the way the light was on her face and fell off when it got to her arm, was the light controlled with a flag to achieve that?

Very cool 🤟🏼😎

This be good for special event or cosmetic add. Thanks.

You're lit perfectly too :)

The hair style sells it

Every time I watch one of these videos I need to shop more gear..when will it end! :D

You inspire me to try XXX

Dear lindsay, One question, don't the nanlite pavotubes, spread light everywhere? Are they controllable in terms of light spill? Thank you so much. You are always amazing, great tutorial, and I loved it.

👍Like for beauty, master of photography

one question that have is what black and white editing did you use was it a preset because its very good and just as important as everything else. you are amazing Lindsay. thank you

Regarding the optical spot modifier, how do you attach it to a profoto light? What kind of adapter would one need and does it come with it when you buy it or do you have to purchase it separately?

@tfinneman

You select the mount type (Profoto, Broncolor, Elinchrom, etc.) when purchasing it from Adorama. Here, she's using the Profoto mount, which is similar to any other Profoto light modifier mounts.

Like Trevor said, you select the mount that you want and there is a specific attachment. You might want to check out my explainer video on the optical spot as well: lindsayadler.photo/opticalspotexplainer

I love Lindsay as an educator and all of these videos, but I have to talk myself out of spending like $5k on more lighting equipment every time I watch one. So...'Mission Accomplished', Adorama!

Very cool and Lindsay’s work is as epic as ever. It doesn’t really help me because I can’t afford all the new light modifiers. Great commercial for Adorama.

Can you post the Models social media info? Thanks. Great video.

Thanks for sharing! I’m getting Greta Garbo vibes.

WOW! $$$$$$$$$$$$$ How about something like this for us poor photographers?

The black-and-white high-contrast portrait was not born in Hollywood, for this place is not the center of the World ! Just an exemple, among hundreds of similar ones... The story of Studio Harcourt began in 1930 when Cosette Harcourt ("koh-zet ar-koor") started to learn photography and snapped her first images. Then, early 1934, she opened her own photo-studio with Robert Ricci (son of fashion stylist then perfume creator Nina Ricci) as her associate. She eventually passed away in 1976 and her studio shut doors four years later. Only to re-open in 2007 and rekindle the thing it has done best : its eternal signature, fully devoted to the art of B&W portrait. Just have a look at what Studio Harcourt creates today, and has been publishing for nearly 80 years. All the Studio archives are publicly owned by the country and kept as a treasure. In Harcourt, no photographer is a star to get all the attention. The place is one for collaboration, and all talents move forward in the name of the Studio. Same thing holds true for most filming techniques, not invented in Hollywood but claimed intensively as "local products". The "mother concept", which real name is cinematographe, being the first one. PS1 : Horst Paul Albert Bormann, know as "Horst P. Horst", lived in Paris (until 1940, when WWII had him leaving France), where he began his career and made himself famous. PS2 : Augustin Fresnel was a French engineer and physicist, who stated light was an undulation and not a ballistic phenomenon, and the lens he invented served the purpose of proving his theory.
