Very good photographer she knows how to get the best light possible for the moment really like her

Thanks for the tips and use of reflectors. very creative.

That was a great, quick tutorial! Thanks so much Lindsay!

These are great tips Lindsay. Thank you for sharing. You teach very well.

A great instructor. Her tips on editing photos, lighting, and much more is awesome!!

Today is the first I saw one of your vids. I like the way you explained everything.

Holy cow that giant reflector!

Very smart experienced photographer! Thanks for the informative video.

I love the model smile 😂😂😂

I learned a lot! Doing pictures in the Blue Bonnet fields, there is never any shade. Going to grab my boards and try these new techniques I just learned. TY!

This is great info thank you so much ! Time to get some foam core ! lol

great video!!

13:36 flawless portrait, great job

Thank you!

Thanks Lindsay and Creative Live. I enjoy your videos all the time. And tune in live whenever I can. You are appreciated! :)

Thanks Lindsay!

🎉Thank you so much Master Instructor ‼️

try the gold reflector for brown and black skin tones, only use silver with the pale skin ppl and white with everyone else

Great teacher

awesome video. i learned a lot! :D

excellent tips

That’s a very enthusiastic model.

It will be very helpful if you can list out ISO you used for those photos . Some tricks you taught in the guide really inspired me . Thanks a lot.

I love your camera belt, first of all

What about using an off camera flash? Put your subject's back against the sun, meter for the background, and use flash for fill on their face. To avoid blowing out the background, use high speed sync to keep your depth of field shallow and to avoid overexposing your subject and background. If your flash doesn't have high speed sync, then stop down the aperture and compose with the background in mind.

Or you can just knock down the ambient with an ND filter, to bring the shutter down to sync speed.

You can under expose the ambien light about 2 to 3 stops and use your flash with your camera in aperture mode to take care of the rest.

Some people don't like the overflashed look, and it's a bit dated in appearance. But yes, it definitely works!

Great video! on the shots can you share the Fstop and shutter speed?? thanks!

I prefer to use a couple of Speedlights to under expose the ambient light using HSS.

Obviously doesn't want to model. No personality. Probably too much work involved. Great instructional video by Lindsay though.

what if you photograph solo no helpers. how would you setup those add-on light sources

Can We soften the light with a speedlight and a softbox?

Tnx

Amazing result with the foam core, I agree was the best capture of the group. The model's expression was distracting.

Not sure I agree with her custom white balance comments @ 11:04. I use my digital calibration target all the time without any problems. Great tips other than the CWB.

where can I get that huge difuser?...thanks!.

What if you dont have any assistants to help you?i think hss flash will help you too.get your metering for the background,then a shoot with a flash.then everything is going to work even with shades or without shades .

You use reflectors a lot what about on or off camera lighting?

niceeeeeee

She doesn't show the before pictures?

I think the model is very pretty. She doesn't need to smile all the time. It kind of gives her sense of mystery. My best to her.

Is that Nastasia Scott from ANTM College Edition?

I would simply use ND filter and Godox flash, but a good video and foam board is a good idea that I learned.

@jamilgotcher365

Yes, I'm going to use a Godox Flash and high speed sync. I have to shoot several outfits of a model at the pool in bright direct sun.

what is that lens she is using? Looks like a Tamron

would have been great to see the 'before and after' pics as she was taking them. a split screen would have shown side by side results.

That is a huge umbrella, I have studio ones where did you get that ginormous one?

Photographing during the middle of the day with the strong patches of bright and shades is difficult for full length portraits taken in shades of trees, because one has to make the patches of bright spots on the subject spread uniformly all over the length of the picture is, what I think, very difficult to get away with even with the help of reflectors. How do you combat the problem? Reflection from grass on the subject look sick and I don't think a silver reflector can solve the problem. What you do to make the model look healthy at the hours of shooting we are concerned about?

@ared18t

You need to either put a diffuser or flag above or put the patches of light behind them so they don't pop up. Another option is to find where the patches of light look most interesting on their outfit but doesn't mess with the face.

that's Nastasia from ANTM !!

Group Photos?

She got the general of it her execution is a quick resolve sure. Dean Collins take to a higher level during the film age. Do watch your back grounds with thosemside walk splashing over exposed high lights splitting your horizon. even though its out of focus it is present splitting her at shoulders and waist if not careful behind head. Your 3rd option is balance the exposure using low iso and flash main plus high speed synch the some what balance out background exposure range

1:19 There is shade right behind the model.

Model is Nastasya?

No mention of using flash - or just a little bit to soften the photo and on the camera itself for portability. Done judiciously can have advantages but generally a reflector is still needed.

I would like to know what lens she uses

Oh, I learned so much! Thanks for posting this video! It really helps, specially when I have clients that i can't work at any other time of the day because of their schedule. I've tried some broad day light before and I wished I had seen your video so It wound't be so hard for me. I'm linking a gallery where I do have some images that I've taken during this time of the day. www.dariaratliff.com/Photographer-katy-tx/Senior-portfolio

This is a great "quicky" for basic lighting, indoors or out. However, is it me or do these photos seem blown out? At times just before the trigger, the lighting is great. There is hardly any any separation between the subject and background. This Model wasn't a great choice for this instructional Video because of her features, not to mention her ... uh... well, "personality," LOL All in all, these tips are CRUCIAL for any photographer. Imitate, then innovate!

who is she?

Voice annoying but Good Info.

that lie u have not shown the same pic that u have taken at that time !

3:48: calls for a silver reflector, but the reflector and the person holding it are not shown in the video. The primary purpose of video tutorials is "show don't tell." How large is the reflector? At what height and angle is the reflector being held? Just how far away is it? It takes no effort to show these things in a video, but without them the viewer is missing out on a large amount of information.

what she is instructing is not practical. what if the photographer doesn't have a human light stand? diffusers and reflectors are a decent option, however learning how to use speed lights are what i would consider ideal...especially when you want to combat harsh sun and you don't need gaudy diffusers or reflectors, which do not work in large groups. you can also use ND filters to help combat some over exposure. The difference between a pro and an amateur if anybody wanted to know. Lindsay is a creative photographer, but the technical aspects i thought needed to be stated.

To over power the sun , you need really powerful strobes ..sometimes they are not suitable for a fashion shoot .... speed lights make your photos look flat sometimes ...but I find them great for portraits !

+Jesse M. She's using an assistant because she's located in New York and setting up a light stand in a public park requires a permit. She explains this in several of her courses. Also, this tutorial is from one of her most basic courses (Lighting 101). She covers using flash in other courses.

@sunny8784

I lived in NYC for 23 years..you do not need a permit unless it is for commercial use, as a hobbiest, or a working group as she is displaying for educational purposes does not warrant a permit. I have used strobes for large groups zero issues...again, that plays a huge role in terms of differences. Depending how and where you place a speed light determines if your images will appear "flat" in fact a speed light can generate depth and contrast just like any other lighting source. Lack of experience/knowledge doesn't necessarily equate to blaming the gear.

+Jesse M. Speed lights are covered in her other courses. This course is the most basic course on lighting she teaches. You're complaining that a 15 min introductory video doesn't cover topics that are well outside of the subject area and would take much longer than 15 minutes to explain. And you seem to be missing the point of the permit requirement. The NY law requires a permit if your equipment uses a stand. That applies to the CreativeLive staff and also to the audience they are training (many of whom want to go pro). That is why in almost all CreativeLive videos in public places you will notice they have staff carrying their modifiers rather than use stands. This is all stuff Lindsay teaches, but in other videos. The video shown is just a small portion of a 2 day course that covers many other topics.

Why models and their photographers look similar...

1:51: "... we're going to get a before and after," then only shows the "after." Pretty poor stuff, guys.

While that model was practically useless lol I mean she basically just stood there. Not one little pose not a little smile not anything? May be a hand on the hip.
