Shots look great man

Just what I need for now. I've been doing different types of headshots around town and I've learnt a lot from Miguel Master.

Hello Miguel, just want to say Thank you for this great Tutorial and your friendly and calm kind to teach. Greetings, Tobi

Amazing as always sir!

man i just love your vids..great job miguel..

I enjoy your videos but I wish you'd shoot shots like this with something less than $6000.00 worth of equipment. Something like a Sony A6500, 24" Octabox , and speed light.

Light is light. If you try what Miguel is doing, you would have to adjust very little, even with an entry level camera, to achieve similar results. The gear is not important. Pay attention to the technique.

Actually, common sense would tell you that it's a light and a light modifier (one light setup). It really IS a simple setup. You actually could get a BUFF Octa a bit smaller than that, load it with speedlights, and do the SAME exact thing. That being said you could get a vagabond, a white lightning from Alien Bee with even more light, not have to use HSS, over power the sun for way less than the setup he had. The only difference here is that it's profoto, nothing more. Not sure why you all are bitching and crying. Use a bit of common sense. This had nothing to do with strobe type, there was nothing special about that strobe vs a godox 600, Broncolor, or a wired light like an AB. Stop the crying.

I can understand your point, but for those of us doing this professionally who CAN afford the best equipment, we do like to see what other pros are doing and how before sending 6 grand downrange.

The camera isn’t as important as the lens and the modifier. And a Godox AD200 with a Glow 36” Octa will cost well under $500. Grab a good lens and you can absolutely create photos that look like this.

Hi I really enjoy your page ☺ Keep it up!

Hei sweet page ☺ Keep it up!

5:46 actual photography starts...

Hei awesome channel ☺ Keep it up!

Excellent! Hook me up with one of those Sony shirts LOL!!!

simple and nice set up

Hi Miguel, I have a question which I hope you can help with? I recently did a shoot similar with the green background and also under green trees, how would you compensate or edit to remove green lighting/shadows from your subject? This has been plaguing me for sometime and hope you may have time to answer. Thanks from Australia :)

Thank you, this was great! What's the background music?

Hii sweet channel ☺ Keep it up!

What a lovely headshot

you said you shot at f2.0, 1/160 and ISO 100. I am going to assume that was your metering for the ambient light. Your model appears to be mostly in the shade. You then adjusted the strobe to give you enough output to light up her face just enough to remove any shadows but keeping the background from going dark.

A 5 foot octabox is almost a compulsory bit of kit these days and it does give a beautiful soft light that I love. But I'm finding I'm being unfaithful, at least in thought, and I keep taking sneaky peaks at large parabolic umbrellas. I know the light is different from the umbrella, more specular and crisper, but it's drawing me in.

Did you meter the background first and shoot your strobe on manual or ettl? Need more setup details.

lets see video of him trying to open that 5ft umbrella up!

I noticed that the photos took a light green hue is there a way to avoid that with green foliage as light imitates its surroundings?

having looked at the flash on the face the model your profoto soft box is creating a key light not a fill light. you’re the first person I saw who is advertising Sony on a shirt.

I almost never shoot more open than f. 5.6, particularly for headshots. I can easily blur the background in post, but usually i like some blur, but not too much so that there's still a sense of place and context.

Did you meter for the flash, or just choose a power setting and adjust from there?

I would have loved to hear more about your actual method of metering the situation. You mentioned your settings.... was that the ambient reading? Also, how did you come up with the right setting for the flash? Was it just trial and error?

With the Profoto B1 and B2 Air Remote (Sony, Canon or Nikon), you can meter off the background. Then shoot a frame with her face filling the frame and the strobe on TTL. Switch Remote mode to manual and adjust background exposure via shutter speed. Perfect exposure.

Was your light setting on TTL or manual

Miguel how do I get one of those Sony a shirt 👕 like your wearing?

not sure you could have had less actual information. you spent so much pushing your sponsors gear that you forgot to actually talk about what you were doing. sad, Adorama videos usually hold a better quality.

He showed his camera settings, but he never mentioned the lighting! Was it metered with a light meter, manually adjusted with a few test shots or TTL. Also, I see no real reason (other than to keep the math simple) that he decided to shoot at f/2.0 rather than f1.8. It couldn't make a very noticeable difference.

Where do we get the Sony shirt?

I know this depends on the situation but what percentage of flash would you use to achieve a natural light look?

@EDCGadgets

For headshots you can place the softbox close to the subject, and that allows using very low ratio, and gives a very soft, natural fill. In most situations you can get away with 1/64 or 1/128, that will look completely natural in a late afternoon shot. But it all depends on the ambient light, the size of the modifier and the power of your flash of course.

Less than 50%. Depends though on if it's fill or key.

Everything is great but I personally would have liked to see the background a little darker for separation.

a little to much chatter for a 7 minute video

I only do natural light but would like to try softbox outside and learn it as I go... The air remote you used, did u keep at TTL? How about the power at your monolight?

It looks like the light was not used as a reflector, as you stated. It was actually the main light.

I think I would have the model further away from the shrubs so you get more separation from the background.

omg.....this color.........is it the Sony or the photographer?

Good info, but it seems like this was shot without a stabilizer, the camera is moving around a lot especially noticeable when I'm full screen. Can they use a tripod next time?

I agree, the constant shakiness of the videocamera is very annoying. Next time try it with IBIS or get a tripod :D It's really distracting.

Liked the results, but question your describing your setup as "a really simple"........

You make it quite simple. How far are you from the model when you take those shots?

he said to place softbox 2 feet away by looking at the actual distance in the video it looks like he positioned it 4 feet away.

Talk less, shoot more! A picture is worth a thousand words!

You just need to add 3 people + 3 Bigger softbox and then take if in middle of a crowded square and entitle the video :" How to do a natural portrait , in a simply way without being noticed ! "

im just being sarcastic , but it looks like more a adverts for the products , I was hoping to see a simple tut with a more tiny softboxe like 60x60 .(i have a 120 & 80 ) and ive ordered a 60x 60 for doing natural portrait with 1 flash for making portrait anywhere , whithout caring too much about my stuff i carry !

Julie is totally Gorgeous

The same result could be obtained with a silver reflector

This is just an ad for Sony and Profoto, I didn't learn a thing

She is stunningly beautiful and a bad shot of her would be a sin. Also, please condense the dialog.

I heard every word, but I have no idea what Miguel looks like 😂

she is much more beautiful on video then on photo, isn't supposed to be the opposite

That screen looks very fragile !

Just my thoughts..... I feel far too many photographers shoot too wide open for portraits. I believe his shooting at F2 was still too shallow for this model, and it helped (not in a good way) the light wash out her blond hair. I would have loved to see this done using F5 and pull her away from the background (will help create the same basic washed yet not featureless background). I believe shooting at F5 would bring more definition to her hair and not have it wash out like it was. At first I thought it was blown, but think it is really just out of focus too much (for my taste) which on blonds (or those with gray or white hair as well) can LOOK like it is blown. That is not as much of an issue with darker hair. I think this setup and settings (as he used) would have worked great with a model with darker hair though. And yes.... less talk, more shooting.

omg he talked for 5:40 before took a picture, the video is 7:02 in length your worst than a time share for crying out loud....

bad photos. why did you darken her neck? you lost her attractiveness, blondes are much better than you think

Face looks over exposed

you didn't even give the settings or how to achieve the shot...poor video

Terrible green cast on her skin in the photos shot. Lot's of talking in this video.

Good, but you talk to much!!! Without action! Next time... talk less make more action... shooting 5 mins talking... hmmm

I do like your vids generally but this one is really just here for promoting your sponsor. I think youve learned to disguise that fact a bit more today tho. However...this was just a bunch of bull crap for 5mins 🙈
