    This is a Photographer doing KZread, not a KZreadr doing Photography. He’s actually teaching technique, not simply trying to push products. Amazing demonstration, definitely gave me some ideas!

    Nice poses with a cute model! Like the idea with the torch, painting the model and surounding. Also the strip light with the shaders. gives a nice narrow beam light. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

    Very informative tutorial. I'm newbiest of newbies planning to tackle my very first project, and it happens to be one of the most difficult styles to learn: dark and moody. It's amazing to see how the video represents your studio as being very bright, almost high contrasty, yet your photos have that dark look. You were even using a speedlight and the background and her clothes just sucked up the light almost to the point that it seemed like you were shooting in a completely dark room. Oh boy, I have lots to learn!

    Also, that demonstration of using the torchlight and a slow shutter speed to draw light around the model for a perfect exposure was brilliant!

    Thank you for your comment. The boards on the stripbox are black corflute panels to control the spread of light. Just purchased from a hardware store. I now have Stripboxes that have grids which make it much easier.

    @@newcastlephotographycollege corflute panels? I have never heard of corflute. Is it a type of Corrugated Panel? And even more importantly: How did you attach the panels to the StripBox? I'm guessing some kind of Velcro. And Thank You for your help. What I love about your adaptation is, It's like a barn door for the stripbox. I have Grid on my stripbox and it cuts down just a little too much. I like the Barn Door approach, It's like a Flag.

    Can you just mention the type of lense and the settings that u considered for each shoot.

  • @newcastlephotographycollege

    @newcastlephotographycollege

    10 ай бұрын

    I could do that because the settings and details are recorded in the meta data for each shot. The reason why I don't usually do it is because it would be mostly irrelevant for you because you are shooting in different lighting environments and different lighting equipment to me. Basically though I shoot at 200 ISO or 400 ISO most of the time my shutter speed for flash is 1/160th second and I adjust my aperture to achieve the desired exposure.
