My studio photography has improved greatly, largely in part to what I’ve learned from your videos. Thanks for all your help.

@@NileSWPhotography Do you know why he used a strip box instead of a smaller circular softbox to match? Just wondering?

The model is breathtakingly beautiful! The lighting truly flattered her, stopping you in your tracks.

I absolutely LOVE this direction you are taking the channel! So happy to have seen your photography grow into a studio. Thank you!

These instructional videos you have been putting out is beyond everything else. It's next level. You have understood how to explain it in a way that a beginner can fully understand, and you leave nothing out. straight to the point Hat off to you sir

What a simple and sweet video!! Awesome Manny!!

Thanks, Manny! I've been a bit nervous to jump into studio work as a photographer, I really appreciate your videos!

Manny thank you. I love your tutorials and I used this set up yesterday which also works wonderfully for mature skin. The shoot went really well and I was very happy with the results as was my client :)

Awesome instructor. I always try to see his videos when comes out. Happy Holidays everyone.

Going to try this set up this week for sure!!

Extremely helpful. I want to get back into studio and outside shooting and this was a great re-learn. I immediately subscribed and gave thumbs up. Thank you

Love that studio setup

That model is stunning. Makes a big difference in your work.

Awesome Tutorial as usual 💪💪💪

Wow I love this video and thank you.

Thank you Manny for this tip, i should try this next time.

Excellent idea. Thank you so much!

Great job Manny!

I just found that stand last week. It will definitely be the one I buy when I'm ready.

Fire 🔥 coaching as always….can’t wait to try this!

another one great tutorial. Thanks

Great informative video bro! I'm learning alot from watching your tutorials.

Manny, Thanks Great video... I have done that lighting setup for decades! It's the best "go to" lighting for beauty and glamour. Plus add a kicker and/or hair light.. sweet but not necessary

yessir manny best lockdown in the game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the model is mesmerizing

wahou i love this setup simple and crazy good

This is such a good set up and is really flattering for just about anyone especially for 3/4 and closer. I usually use just a reflector for the fill but I really should break out another light sometimes too. Good stuff as usual buddy

Awesome, great video. I am new in to this and I would absolutely love to see a video where you break down all the simple setups Distance of the light from your subject, angle, etc.(With 1,2 lights) Thank you for the way you explain all the simple facts, you make it seem so easy. Greetings from Spain.

First seconds are priceless 🤣🤣🤣🤣. On a serious note, thanks for the video, great advices

Hey Manny, I would love to see a video on tips on getting wide dramatic shots while on location like for engagement shoots. But all of your videos have been amazing!! Keep up the great work!

Can you try it for a full body photography..will love to see that..you doing amazingly well

Awesome video. I will try this setup. Thank you. Do you have any books on lighting setups and poses?

thank you for this video

amazing setup Manny as well as video , but for someone like me I could never afford this gear love your videos man

Thanks Manny.

Saludos desde Puerto Rico. Siempre veo tus tutoriales son muy efectivos. Me gustaría saber el ratio que usaste entre ambos strobes, gracias.

Yes sir!

Good video Manny! Question: How to you control/ combat specular highlights to minimize work in Photoshop?

a gorgeous model helps too!

That light stand is a game changer I’ve been doing this set for a while with a speed light on the ground with a small speed light soft box and the speed light standing kit! Definitely have to get that light stand, thanks for the video!

I never imaged a light stand you could attach a light on the bottom!

Cool!

That light stand is the photography version of the busker one-man-band, with an instrument or three on every limb!

Awesome! So which lighting goes in the softbox and which goes in the strip box? Thanks 😊

awesome

Dear Mr Ortiz. Nice educative video again. Watched this video again and again. Where did you get that the mount attached to c stand that you use for the strip box.

Lovely Vid as always Manny, But when are we gonna see shots of Brothers as well....Am sure there are some hunks you could guide us with some pauses 😁just saying🤷‍♀️

Manny, Great video 🎥 and are you using the Sony Alpha A1 camera during this session?

Great tips and enjoy ur vids Manny!!! even am very far to get her tho :) . Like that أحبك tattoo on ur beautiful MODEL !

Love from india bro 👍❤️

Hi..... Early squad....🤩

excellent

super tuto ! just purchased the new godox QRP-90 parabolic for ad400pro. can it be used instead of westcott 36" ? can we use a ad300pro with 1x3 stripbox ? is 1x4 120cm length really better ?

Hey can you explain with this set up your using a continuous light set up, but they're attached to a flash trigger? Do you have an off camera flash or are these lights flashing at the time of shooting. Thanks man !

I have this exact stand

NGL. I shot this setup WITHOUT this stand back in March and now have this stand. I’d never not have the stand. I shoot clamshell a lot for ports. Shots some stuff with Magmod’s new new and I wish I had this stand for that shoot.

How would this work for shooting male models Manny? Do a video on that and compare it to this video

That intro though 😂😂

Until I buy a second strobe is there a way to make this work with a speedlight?

I also have2 400 watts flahes but i noticed for 2 speed lights are more than good enough for indoors

man where are you getting all these beautiful models bro??

Hiiii Manny, Please review Sony A9II for potrait photography and leave the sample image RAW a9ii and A1 in description :D Thank you so much

Apologize if this has been asked already. Where did you get your backdrop holder you are using in this video? And do you have any recommendations on using paper backdrops vs muslin? I have been looking at muslin but don’t know who has good quality ones.

Dear Manny! Can I achieve similar results, using two speedlights instead of studio lights?

عالی بود😍

For such "clamshell" setup i often see two other setups : a beauty dish 55cm white instead of 36" diffuser (whetever the bottom part eyelighter2, stripbox,...) and, whatever the top part, a 65cm softbox below instead of 120x30cm stripbox to make a "spot in iris" insead of a rectangle. Do you find your setup better ?

i'm a little hesitant on that catch light of the bottom light looking like a white straight line in the eye. Any thoughts on that?

How would you set this up with an 8' ceiling? Would you bounce flash off a white ceiling?

hey manny i cant afford another godox so could i use a speed light in a soft box for the bottom light

Great tips and to the point 👏👏 Just an advise. Be careful the elbow pointing to camera with the perspective and compression looks the elbow attached to the upper body. Thanks 🙏

@mannyortiz is it possible to get the same look with two led bi color 200w light ? If I hat no flash ? Like the jinbei bi 200w

❤️❤️

Love this set up, but I have a question. If I’m using this set up how do you recommend combating the dreaded white background turning grey without a separate direct light dedicated to the background (camera already with custom white balance set)?

@rogueoctobervisualz5723

In that case, you’d move the subject (and light) closer to the background

is there anywhere in Australia to buy the c stand?

Now I'm gonna have to buy a second Manny 😑 thx a lot 😃

How could you get full body pictures with that set up?

Hi Manny what’s the name of that stand?

Yes love this set up, that an adorama C- stand ??

Yeah, but they already look good!!

can you link the reflector stand?

What if 1 round Profoto octa was used as key and 1 Profoto octa fill light on this c stand with Profoto B2's Would it be bright enough ?

High quality content as always, straight to the point I love it. Question though, what about using the cheaper Speedlight for the secondary bottom light since I guess it doesn't require as much power as the key light and even less so considering the short distance? I've got a Godox AD400Pro which is pretty much the same flash but since I didn't want to get 2 at such price, I took 2 extra Godox V860 Speedlight for my secondaries. Pretty sure it would still be much better than a basic reflector.

lighting ratios mean you'll want about 1.5-2 stops less power for the fill. If you used the ad400 at full power, you would want a 100w light at full power (likely 200w). THe v860 might have a different colour to the ad400, I think the speedlights will be much more green. So that could cause issues too

Many were the flashes on M or TTL?

hi this is my first comment here , so can i ask for something please ? can you start tutorial about shooting wedding outdoor with different light setups please ?

what about power ratio of the main umbrella and strip light below, please apologize me , thank you and greetings from indonesia

What kind of other attachments you can think of which could help attach second light to the regular C STAND.
