Jerry is both a master photographer and master teacher. Looking forward to inching forward in skills with his help.

The KZread algorithm brought me here and I'm very glad it did! These video's are amazing and even inspiring! Gonna binge-watch these video's the rest of the week :)

You sir are absolutely amazing and resourceful. I’ve seen a lot of videos explaining about lenses and camera functions but explaining the light you have done in absolutely great way. Thank you.

I first watched "Posing Everyone" and that changed my whole outlook of photography.

Which video is that? Can't find it. Or is it not fro Jerry?

Two ideas for using continous lighting: first, the edge/rim light on back side of subject opposite the key light and second the backgound using barn doors to create a shaft of light leading to the subject.

I love how specific and technical your instructions are, totally different calibre of advice, really shows your experience! Thank you!

Very informative for those who take photos and for those who want their pictures taken. The tutorials of Jerry are on point!

Ice light stimulated me to pick up my photography hobby again :-). It helped me in 2 ways 1. to study lighting as a hobbyist, without having to go through all the knowledge about controller, softbox, battery mount, etc. 2. easy to set up on location once you get a taste of its benefits. I think the next step is to come up with a kit of 1 light stand, 1 ice light, 1 carrying case to help people shoot more. If it can make people feel easy to carry 1 bag on board for travel photography (as a hobby not for business) and set it up without an assistant (there is an assistant in almost all KZread videos for outdoor shooting), I believe it will make ice light more popular. At the moment I can't seem to find a decent light stand carrying case to pack everything, either the case is not padded, or too big to get on board, or no case such as nano light stand, or no room for ice light...

One of you best. Intensity is through the roof. Editing flawless. I love the thoroughness and confidence of showing the most basic shot through to most outstanding portrait. You cut through the extraneous like no other. Video quality is impeccable. 5 stars.

Wow Allen! Thanks so much for the feedback. That’s really kind of you!

Truely amazing session, love it .

Unreal. Thank you. Your explanations and reasonings have fundamentally changed my way of looking at how light is expressed and what to keep an eye out for. Example, when you described how to position the face enough so the light fills the entire eye socket of the eye on the shadow side @5:50. Also, so many tips on how to deal with different faces, gender, age and "attractiveness", to emphasize and not emphasize certain features. Magnificent!

G’day Jerry, fantastic information mate. Do you have a video on controlling light banding or falloff and how to stop or avoid this banding effect on your backdrops. I often get quite dramatic banding rings when shooting against a grey or black backdrop. Cheers mate

Love your work and have learned so much by watching you. I do have a question though. I noticed that you didn't zero your meter and it looked like it was about 2 stops underexposed, right? So how come his eye isn't in darkness or the bright side of his face over exposed?

@JerryGhionisPhotography

3 жыл бұрын

Great question. It's all in how I work out what my exposure will be (which I do every time I photograph in a new scene or if the lighting conditions change, of course). I can go into much more detail but I'll (try!) to keep it brief here. I photograph using evaluative (or matrix) metering. When you use evaluative metering, you are just telling your camera what you want it to take into account what it sees the exposure in the viewfinder. That you want it to take the entire frame into account. Not just a specific point (as in the case of spot metering). I also always shoot in manual and that allows me to choose my own ISO, shutter speed and aperture. As you adjust any one of those 3 settings you will see your in-camera meter moving accordingly. The classic example that I like to give is that if you are photographing a black cat on a black rug and you are shooting in aperture priority, your camera will see all black and will try to bring the scene back to mid gray (thus overexposing the scene). So whilst shooting in manual, I COULD look at the black subject matter, adjust my ISO, shutter speed and aperture before I take the shot so that the in-camera meter is set to the middle (or zero) point. But I know that the camera is going to see all that of that darkness and want to make it mid grey. Therefore overexposing the image. So I adjust my settings so that the meter moves to the negative side, looking as though it will underexpose the image, but in reality, representing the true colors of the black cat and the black rug. You would face the same situation if you were photographing a polar bear in a snowstorm. If you allowed your camera to determine your exposure automatically, it would see all of the white and want to make it mid grey. But a polar bear isn't mid grey. It's white. So the camera is therefore underexposing it. So if I am in a bright situation with a lot of pale colors I would them have to "compensate" for that by adjusting my settings so my meter moves to the plus side. Looking as though I am overexposing the image, but in reality representing the true colors of the polar bear and snow. The best way to understand this is to go out and practice exactly this scenarios and see what happens to your exposure when you have your camera set to "P" or aperture priority or shutter priority. And then follow the steps above while shooting in manual. Good luck!

Its good to know wats de best side of the models face and use it as the side facing the camera eve if its the darker side

It there a way to take hard ambient light and exposing it as a strobe? Using silver of mirror reflector to strobe the light. Try to prevent blinding him.

What camera is he using in this video to photograph the model?

My boy Jerry is an active shooter 📸

Jerry, what is the brand and model of the head that you have on your tripod? It is awesome!

Can you make video about right using white balance ? How to make right setting of WB at lighter ? How to balance WB between natural light and flashlight ? How it happens at you worx ?

The principles behind this lighting lesson can be used with any light source. Personally I use everything from ambient light, to continuous light to speed lights and strobes. If ambient light works, then I don't need anything else. Of course, I sometimes use a reflector. I am biased to the Ice Light2 for continuous light. When using speed lights I have the Nikon SB5000 and the Profoto A1x and if I need something more powerful then I go to the Profoto B10 plus. The models that you mentioned are great.. Simply buy the most powerful light you can afford and your equipment can grow as you grow.

What kinda camera is that? The colors are nice
