This channel is all about photography and videography. I really love playing with light, so there is a lot of light setups, either in home, outdoors, or in a photo studio. I have gear reviews, do-it-yourself, and DIY builds. I do photo retouching, and I even share my knowledge of how to shoot or edit videos. Basically, I like to share my tips and tricks from my years of film and photography.

    Thank you for another great video! Question about the second styleout, with that light to the right of the camera that was gridded and diffused for the inside of the cabinet door, the modeling light shows a harsh shadow to the left of the cabinet. In the photo that shadow isn’t there, is that because once all flashes are fired the key light eliminates that shadow?

  • @austinlindsay
    @austinlindsayАй бұрын

    Thank you! And yes, you’re seeing a hard shadow because I only have the modeling light on for the light I was explaining. And since it was at such a low power, as you correctly pointed out, the hard shadow from that particular light would’ve been filled in by the other lights. :)

    Can this light be folded in half and then rolled up? I don’t want to damage any part of it, but I need it to fit into a tight storage space

  • @austinlindsay
    @austinlindsay4 ай бұрын

    I’m gonna say no. I haven’t (and wouldn’t try myself) so take all this info as being not tested. You can sort of fold it over (think hanging it over a towel rack) if you needed to for a specific shot, or simple storage, but the moment you crease the fold I feel it would be permanent. Again, I haven’t tried so I can’t be certain, but it seems like it may not damage anything. But, the moment you crease the fold I don’t think you’d be able to ever get the crease out. But, yea personally I’d answer your question with a “no”. Hope that helps.

    Very impressive work! I really like that you walk us trough your lights and the reasons behind it. But just out of curiosity and for learning, does the other fill light on the left also kinda work as a bigger key light? Or would that ruin the direction of the light that is coming in? I would love to spend a day on set just to learn everything there is to it! Seems like you are someone that you could learn lots of things from! Greetings from the Netherlands!

  • @austinlindsay
    @austinlindsay5 ай бұрын

    Hey thanks for the kind words! In a simple answer to your question, yes. In essence, all the lights are to mimic the sun. So, every light from the window would be like a “key light”. But, I call (the first light mentioned in the video) the key light since it’s the brightest source, and because it creates the hard shadow. The other lights create what would essentially be all the “fill” light coming from the sun, but gets diffused by the atmosphere. Hope that makes sense.
