    Great video! As a woman who wears lashes it's hard finding photographers who understand lighting and how to work with their model without losing confidence. Lighting is important! Great job, Manny.

    Man… Thank you for this! Straight to the point but very informative. About to start my off camera flash journey finally and this helped ease my frustrations with lighting “the basics”. Btw those long eye-lashes… hate ‘em with with a passion lol. I always tell the models that I’ll be working with to keep them as natural as possible.. not blink then fly away 😂.

    Sorry to hear this news Manny. Glad to hear PPA insurance was able to help you in this situation. It is a shame. I have quite a bit of photography cameras, lenses, expensive camera bags, etc. I try to be vigilant also, & try to limit the gear that I take with me & use bags that do look expensive, when carrying my gear. I live in a neighbourhood that has a lot of crime & I am giving serious thought to obtaining a concealed carry permit. I hate that this is the “reality” that we all have to deal with in America & through international travel as well.☹️

    Very brief video Mr Ortiz but every second was packed with details. Appreciate it so highly. Got two questions if possible. 1) What the (Manny Ortiz) beauty dish produce that a regular softbox does not (I have MagMod 24 inch MagBox), and 2) in the video you had your beauty dish overhead a Westcott modifier below. What was the latter exactly?
