For the first time, I am coming across a photographer that is so particular about colors like how I am, I feel so good, color matters , color emotes and speaks loud.

We couldn't agree more with your recommendations! This is very helpful (per usual!) 🤩

Thanks for all the knowledge lindsay. I love you ✨

Great video! Thank you, Lindsay. I agree. Setup number 2 for the first model.

This video was so pleasing to the eyes. And as I side effect I also learned from you Lindsay, thank you for these!

Nothing short of your usual amazing, Lindsay! Thank you for sharing not only the backgrounds but how they change with different lighting techniques. Also loving your storage system!

I loved the explanations and learning about lighting. I love #1 with the first model. I think the deeper color really brings out her complexion. I like how it looks contoured under her cheekbones. Very flattering.

This was amazing! Lots of great pieces of advice and insight ❤️

Lindsay. Thankyou again !! Very generous from fou sharing all your knowledge!!! I love your way to teach

These are very beautiful backgrounds .... for my own photos I really like to use a gray-blue one; in my BnW photos it looks really beautiful to my own taste and gives me lot of space in 'playing' lighting the background

for me 2nd for background, 3 for actual lighting the model. Great work as always (y)

You’re literally the best when teaching and explaining. I cannot tell you how many videos I have watched trying to find answers to some background questions that you have answered here! Thank you so much for sharing your expertise. Now if I could only book you for a private teaching session LOL

Wow thank you so much! That's such a wonderful compliment to hear and warms my heart! So happy I can help. :)

Good advice and I look forward to these tutorials as well as seeing your work! For the 1st subject I slightly prefer the 1st set up probably because I liked the bit of contrast but yes option 2 would be my 2nd choice and it did more closely match her skin tone. For the second beautiful subject, I liked the 2nd option as well. I love using fashion gray just because I don’t have space but you can pretty easily make it go near black to white as well as change it color to a degree as well making it a little more flexible for my space and budget. Beautiful work as usual and maybe a gray background doing fashion could be one of your next tutorials 😊. Take care

I love watching your videos, they’re so insightful and inspiring! Big fan of your work and your style 😍

Wow thanks so much. I’m going to use the lighter background color when redoing my KZread profile picture!

Those of us working in small spaces (like me) will need to adapt these tips to the reality of our situation; no room for 8' scrims, and in many cases, no room for more than a single light (or getting your subject more than a few feet away from the backdrop)! But it's still very helpful to see how the difference in light levels affects the contrast between subject and background.

Thank you, really helpful, clear, well explained. Great artist, wonderful teacher! Thank you 🙏🙏🙏

I love the research you put in your picture and the background. We are painting out home and I want every wall to be perfect color for our skin tone - so every picture is amazing in the normal daylight. Our family has brown skin tone and I would love the name of the color that comes out when you brightened up the coco background for the lovely AA model.

Great color choices. How do you feel about orange? I think blue is good for darker skin tones. You chose the best backgrounds overall.

grey and eggshell blue are pretty backgounds

is it better to get lighter backdrops ? that way you can make them darker during the shoot using inverse square law. but if you get darker coloured ones, you will need more lights to make them lighter/brighter...

@lindsayadlerphoto

6 ай бұрын

either way. I regularly use more lights to lighten because I can make a gradient (which creates depth). But lighter would require fewer lights, yes

What if you have 2 strobes? Where would you position your background light so that it looks evenly lit?

Move your subject and main light closer to help, and if necessary put light directly behind subject for more even results.

One of shots shown of the first girl had over exaggerated neck length. I think a tighter focal length would be more flattering in that same shot. I'm assuming you used 24-70mm. Try 85mm/90mm and you would see a more flattering composition. I agree number 2 backdrop is better

It's crazy how we take technology for granted.... I'm sitting in canada watching a video shoot in usa and the quality is good to the point i can tell this girl is wearing contact lenses. 2:21
