Thanks for the product training, portrait, and Jewelry. Give me ideas. Thanks.
You are truly the master, you have proven time and again that knowledge trumps equipment, from another perspective, you can create magic with plethora of equipments and you also create outstanding images with minimal equipment. I salute sir !

that's a great point and it's not something that's specifically mentioned much in many videos. your goal is decided by what you or what the client wants the image to be. sometimes I see flash tutorials and the end image is not what I would consider done, especially when there's hard shadows on a woman's face for example. it's good to know when the photographer is making clear that that's what they were aiming for not just what the result was for the video. cheers!
Thank you so much! I'm enjoying to watch your tutorial and I learned a lot. always looking forward to your new video.👍
This reminds me of studio work I did at a smaller scale awhile back. Glad you shared two courses recently. Especially how the model dresses and wear jewelry. Thanks for the refresher course.
The Master
After all the years I follow your YT channel as a subscriber, seen at least 95% of your videos, you are, BY FAR, my KING of lighting ! 👑 Thanks for all the good work over the years Karl.
