Much attention to detail with specific references to specs adds value to this polished production.

I'm always a fan of how you pose the models on your shoots! The leather jacket was such a good call too. With the light being soft, it creates natural contrast that goes really well with her natural skin tones and blond hair

So the 85mm 1.8 Lens is attached? I would've never guessed that! I'm amazed that the lens is attached.

I'm always excited about new videos you upload! Also have a little idea about a video you could make, It would be amazing if you could tell us a story about your progress and growth as a photographer over the years. I was always curious if your work was so good from the beginning or did it take years master :)

Another great one. Have a problem you might know answer. Using C-stand and 48” deep octave. I would like to put stand to the side of set and boom it out and above model. All that weight makes 40” arm spin so I can’t keep my angle. Any ideas? Was wondering if a boom arm is fixed in position and won’t spin in clamp….. thanks.

@NathanElson

Skip to the C-Stand section in this video. If you set the boom arm properly, it won't ever come loose: kzread.info/dash/bejne/haB5q5Zsj9WnYco.html Hope that helps!

Very nice work. I wasn’t certain what you meant about using the back half of the modifier. Did you mean you were feathering the light so as to half fall on the model? Lovely model as well.

Sounds good! Link to purchase is in the description of this video.

Great final results. For some reason I think it would be beneficial for some more breathing room around the model especially without that leather jacket. The one at 3:10 is my absolute favorite. I am aa strong believer in 135mm for portraits but I am now moving to some other extreme of 24-28mm range.

Ya, like most things I feel like it falls on personal preferance. I often like to close crop when I am shooting like this, just where my brain goes :)

Thanks for the video - it's very helpful for many. I wanted to know, after the latest updates to Photoshop and Lightroom, what connection with Captura Pro do you use to finalize the photo? Capture and Lightroom or Capture and Photoshop? Maybe it's time to make a video on this topic ??

I use C1 for all of my color grading and capture, and PS for any final retouching for skin.

@@airtvua No that's not what I am saying, they are differnt programs that do different things. Lr and C1 are for capture, sorting / tagging, color grading, exporting, etc while PS is more for retouching, also color grading, and manipulation of images (composites and the like).

Everyone once in a while it's nice to change things up. Also, shooting a different angle and didn't like the way it looked converted to B&W. Need to play with the lighting more to get it right.

Great presentation, as always! I had a question, maybe you’ve answered it elsewhere already, sorry to be repetitive if so. How do you decide from which side to light your models, especially using just the one light? Personal preference maybe?

@NathanElson

I sometimes base it off the way their hair parts, other times it's just a 50/50 chance that I light it from either side.
