This is the best video I've seen, I'm a beginner and really needed a video like this. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!

All basics to studio photography and the variables are what make a studio better and more unique over other studios. Flash or Still, Soft box or Umbrella, CFL light or Tungsten - and many more. This video was clear and easy to see how a 3 point lighting set up works. Thanks.

I don't usually comment on KZread videos but I have to say, as a rookie just learning all of this lighting stuff, you are hands down the best teacher I've found. You're a natural. And I say that as someone who occasionally teaches college. So, keep doing what you're doing, brother.

OUTSTANDING video! Short, simple & to the point! This helped me a great deal. THANK YOU!

I like this manner of instruction. It's direct and to the point without a lot of useless chatter. It appears to be well planned and thought out so a few minutes do not turn into a lengthy gibberish production.

Simple, Short, and Right to the point,...thank you.

This is a very illustrative and comprehensive video tutorial on the subject. The graphic animation does the explanation justice by hypothesising the lighting situations in real time while eliminating the actual human factor. Compact and precise. GREAT JOB. I will definitely follow your other tutorials. Keep up the good work.

This is a very clear explanation of 3 Light Setups. It helped me to explain to a person better than I could have just by speaking. Thank you, this is a really great video.

Thank you for this, doing my first shoot this weekend and been trying to figure out exactly how I want to do the lighting, this helped me a ton.

Thank you for this video...just got a home studio lighting kit this week for my birthday. I'm really comfortable with outdoor photography, however indoor studio lighting is a whole different ball game...definitely subscribing!!

New to studio photography and I wish to learn more as I am a self taught photographer . Your videos are easy to learn and straight forward also I have just got 3 Courtney lights and I wish to learn portrait photography and your videos will help me .. thank you ..

This is so simple & an easy explanation with great instruction. Thank you!

Clear, straight to the point ! Very good tutorial. Thank you .

Thank you. This has helped me an upcoming project.

great tutorial! im a bit of a beginner when it comes to flash lighting so this was quite helpful

Excellent, I needed this video.. provided Great clarity

I realy love these videos. With an addition of information on flash power, they would be perfect! Would LOVE to see more.

Many thanks very useful for me will try it out tomorrow

To. The. Point. Easy to understand and follow. I learned. Excellent videos!

this is really helpful and excellently done! THANK YOU

that is a sold, fundamental tutorial. great work!

THANK YOU for making this so easy to understand!! Any idea where can I get a good back light?

Well presented. Great graphic effect. Thank you.

Nice loved the animations really helped alot

Love this example of a basic three-light setup! A couple of thoughts: I find it interesting that you used a strobe for both the key light and the rim light, but a flash for the fill light. For myself, I either want to use strobes or flash. Pick your poison, and stick with it, I guess. Regardless, keeping your color temperature consistent has got to be paramount! I really enjoyed the diagrams you used in the video to show the lighting setup, and I appreciate that not everything was spoon-fed (like lighting ratios and specific modifiers). Gives me the room to be creative!

Thank you for a great video. !

This is great! and so easy

Best Lighting setup Vid. Thank

Keep on creating, Brother. Thanks, it's so helpful.

Perfect!

Excellent video, Excellent Graphics

thank you, great teacher!

I use a regular flash zoomed to max and with a piece of black paper (elastic band) as a snoot.just aim it at the head and experiment a bit with power.

Very nice ~ thank you!

Thanks great vid for beginners.

Great video! Thank you!

Nice video. Very direct and informative.

thanks for nice simulation, i'll try it :)

thx for this video ! nice job !!

good very simple but very explicit keep rocking bro

Are you using continuous lighting in this video? How many watts for the key and the fill light?

Very professional!

I really like that demonstration you used, is it a software? if so, can it be purchased?

Short but great

thanks you very much this really helps

thank you, very helpful

So many PRO in photography posting on YT, and etc....but NO GOOD TEACHERS !! I'm a beginner in flash photography and the way you explain...is THE BEST !!! Now, because I find you, i;m one of the subscribers, and ...student.

Nice one.THANKS

Thank You!

Thank You Sir!

how much the distance should be between subject & backlight also should umbrella be used or built in diffuser of flash to be used

So helpful Thanks

Great CG.

My concern is when you add a fill light that close to the camera, how do you avoid casting a second catch light into her eyes?

thanks so much

Excellent.

It is an excellent video explains in simple way for beginners. Is back and hair light are same? Do we need to have a fourth light focus on the backdrop to avoid shadow ?

if you get a shadow I would think so

Great Video.. God Bless!! :D

Ed, thank you for the great explanation! I have 2 Bowens strobes, can I use an LED light as a back/rim light?

@feralmode

4 жыл бұрын

that's not really going to work... unlesss you're intentionally trying to mix flash and constant lighting but i'm guessing that's not your intention. best all strobes or all leds

Great video I subscribed!

What kind of lights were all three lights being used? Is the rim or hair light a flash or continuous?

Hi there! Nice way to explain it. One doubt I have, is the main light a flash or a continuous light?

@edverosky

In a setup like this, I'd try to use all flash, it's best if all lights are identical brand at least, but sometimes I show how you can use larger lights together with smaller flash units.

Like this!!

great great for best pic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi! I was wondering how much power that you setup for each flash?

thanks!!!!

Good tut! Quick question, what software did you use to make the tut?

hey bro if we are using polariser filter that time how many lux we need for the photo shot ?..........i am waiting ..............

What program did you use for the 3D Modeling of this video?

Good information

What type of light you recommend for the back light source to get that type focused lighting?

@edverosky

Any will do. I'd use a grid modifier for that.

thanks

Cool

is it any difference to use flash lights or continuous lights?

Have a question: What an essenciall meaning does have the stuff of background used the time of studio portrait photography? Thanks Nino

Hey Ed, what software does that type of illustration? I'd really like to know. The video was really the best illustration I've seen on the topic of lighting yet. Please reply.

Awesome Ed, Thank you. I have a question, what about permanent light, like LED? I have zero experience with artificial light, stop photography years ago and I only deal with natural light, for the type of photography I use to do, but I really want to learn about artificial light, in studio and outside, I thinking of getting the Neo2, I really like the idea of being able to use as permanent light and as strobe, I could adapt a "cheap" softbox on it. I'be being watching several videos about light, but yours is by far the best and really simple to understand.

Constant light, like LEDs can work for still photography but they don't have much power usually. They're great for video. I would go with some basic flash units.

Cool, Thanks Ed, So, what would be the best setup, a powerful flash like Godox V860II-S (with trigger) and a softbox or with umbrella? I want to use in a studio and outside, to get better results, soften shadows and illuminate if is necessary? For a trigger I was thing about the X-Pro-S, so I can use two if necessary. Do you have any suggestion? I'm buying a Sony, since we had a break in to our house and the only stuff left was our furniture and big appliances, so I decided to try Sony, I don't have any lenses anymore, so I can go any brand and the Af of the new A7III looks really promising, I shoot some sport and 10fps is more than enough for me and I as said, I want to learn artificial light and start to shoot portrait as well.

I have the Sony a7ii and love it.

hello. I notice you are using speed lights. Any preference to mono lights?

Probably a stupid question but is there any reason why, in the example shown, the key light is higher than the fill light? Also, the fill light is placed "off-axis" whilst some photographers recommend that it should be placed "on-axis". Your opinion on this would be greatly appreciated.

Also, for good rental equipment to try a setup try googling lensrentals. I can't post the link for some reason, but do it and try the .com site

how do you meter the flash light ??? How do you expose ????

What is the ideal dimension of Photo studio

Thanks, I'm a beginner and this greatly helps, I'm looking to buy lighting equipment may be something that comes as a kit, does anyone have suggestions?
