Hey! I’m Laura, a Spanish Photographer and Creative Director. I left my country over 11 years ago to pursue my dreams in the creative industry in London. I didn't have a job, I didn't know anyone, I didn't speak English, and I was sharing a hostel room with 15 people when I landed in the big city. I was sleeping with my camera bag! 😄
After a few years of struggle, I managed to become a full-time freelance photographer and creative director doing what I love for a living. But in November 2023, I decided to move country again to keep growing creatively. Bali, Indonesia is home right now. 🌴
Here, I help you to make a living from your creative skills and I share with you my solo adventures around the world. Always camera on hand! 📸

Hi! Can you walk to that point at sunrise for photography? From the website, they say they have a day limit but we can't understand if it is only between 9.30 to 19.00 or all day.
Really really appreciate your videos, photography, information and what you actual give(ie. Model release forms) and provide. Very inspirational and educational with the tools to do it. Thank you !!!
I just got in Getty Images. I'm excited to venture into stock photography.

I just got the Sony FX30 for my video needs.
Many thanks again for a great video 🙏
Love the content and love your accent. ❤ I have a question about lights. I don't have a strobe flash, but I have video LED lights. What would be the difference in handling? (for portraits) Can they be used outdoors?
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and wisdom Laura! 🫂🤍 I’m so excited to utilize these tips to grow my business! Much love to you! 🤍🤍
When it comes to hard drives, do you back up files to just one, or do you have a 2nd hard drive to backup the first one?
I love parabolic softboxes and umbrellas because they are fast to set up, I have a couple of softboxes that I have to assemble every time, so they take some extra time, but they are awesome as well. I also don’t like the rectangular/square ones!
Thank you for sharing your feedback! 😍 I love love love parabolic soft boxes. As you said, they’re great to setup. I’m glad you agree about the square ones. 😄
@@LauraBC so sweet, I love it when I get replies from creators, it makes me feel special 😂😂😂😂 you’re awesome, Laura! 🥰
@@GabrielEscobosa 🥹❤️ Thank you so much Gabriel! Thanks for being here and being part of my channel. 🫶🏼
Right now I’m using the godox system mainly because they are more “affordable”. The first “big light” I got was the LA200D, after that I got my first flash, the AD300 pro. I use both for photography. I’ve just purchased another LA200D, I really like these lights! HOWEVER, they are quite bulky compared to these ones from zhiyun you just showed, I really liked the 300 one, it’s more powerful than the ones I have but much smaller. Maybe in the future I can sell the ones I have and invest in the portability zhiyun lights offer.
Thank you so much Gabriel for sharing your current gear! Godox is great! I was using Godox for a while as well. But now Zhiyun is innovating so much and after getting used to such tiny, compact and light studio lights, I got used to them. 😄 As you said, keep with your current gear if you’re happy with it. And maybe in the future whenever you want to upgrade, you can try these. 🥰
Awesome, excellent information
Thank you! I’m glad you found it useful. 🥰
For my use i like having more focus on strobes, which i have a few of (also one speedlite), but i also have 60W LED i can attach strobe light modifiers to, and also 3x 6w RGB LEDs. I also have color gels to change color of strobes or the 60W LED. I very rarely use the LEDs, but they are good to have just in case i need video, and also they can do some cool stuff if combined with strobes, like freezing with flash, but having light trails with LEDs using longer shutter speed. Also if i do video, i dont do video of large things, so i can keep the LEDs very close, lowering the requirement of power. But somoene focusing more on video should definitely invest more on LEDs. Still having both gives most versatility, but whether someone needs the versatility, well they might not and might be ok with only LEDs or only strobes, but only strobes means no video. I would argue that parabolic soft boxes are bullshit. They dont differ from octabox of same diameter at all, the depth of it is not effecting anything at all. Actually working parabolic lights are very different from these "parabolic" soft boxes, and soft box saying its parabolic is just a marketing scam and waste of room. For something to actually be parabolic and get some difference from it, you need to take off the fabric softening the light, and also you have to be able to adjust the position of the light inside the light modifier to focus the light properly. There are videos on youtube testing this in depth to prove it.
Hi Laura, nice informational video as usual on the studio lights. On the Bird theme another saying is 'a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush'. 🙂
Thank you so much! so glad you liked it! Ahhh I love that saying too! 😄 Thank you! It’s been well noted. 🥰
The phrase in English is "to kill two birds with one stone" (I didn't know the Spanish one but in Czech it's "zabít dvě mouchy jednou ranou" = "to kill two flies with one hit") 😄 The differences between languages are funny 🙂
Haha amazing! So that saying is universal. Just in a different language then. 😂 Thank you for sharing how it is in Czech! Love it! 😄
Laura, thank you again for all the work you put in to pass on your knowledge and experience to beginners. It is greatly appreciated! Love you break everything down to simple digestible pieces of information. This was a really helpful and timely video for me!
Aww thank you so much Patrick! I’m so glad you liked this video. Your good feedback means a lot! ❤ It’s so nice to know that this was helpful. And thank you always for your amazing support. 🫶🏼✨
I uploaded an amount of about 30-40 pictures to shutterstock and haven't sold one single photo 😔. Any tips?

I fairly recently bought the SK400iv sorta on a whim? But this video hit the nail on the head. I thought I was buying what I needed but there’s just so much info out there but it’s all just very generic! But now I’m sorta kicking myself for getting it.
Hi Lisa! I worked with the SK400 for years! So please don’t feel you’ve made the wrong choice. 🫶🏼 It’s very powerful and I loved using it. I love shooting with flash and I still want to get one as now I’m just using continuos lights. The SK400 is great! 🥰 I think you’ll enjoy using it. Keep me posted! ❤️
@@LauraBC oof 😅 well that’s certainly refreshing to hear! Thank you!
@@lisajanene haha Yes! Don’t worry. It’s an amazing flash and powerful enough. 🥰
very useful, thank you!
@@kamitGameplays you’re most welcome! 🥰❤️
The zhiyun x100v at least, if not the others, can develop an issue with their battery that causes the battery to burn out anything it is attached to. It burned out a motherboard and 2 chargers of mine before I realized what happened, since that just never happens. Some part of their design allows such a huge backflow of power from their battery it can burn out anything, so be careful with their products! The size is great but they don't know how to build a battery!
The battery is to use with their lights. 😅 If you don’t pay attention to the power outage of the battery and the power that the other dispositive can bear, of course you’ll burn it. This is something to take into count with every charger and battery, from any brand. I never use the batteries of my Zhiyun lights for other purposes. For what do you use it? Just curious. 🙏🏼
I can't stop watching this video 😅
🥹❤️ Thank you Sara!
Thank you!
You’re welcome! I hope you found it useful! 🥰
