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.

Wow. I just stumbled upon your channel, and you were the only one able to deliver EXACTLY what I wanted to hear. A side by side comparison for premiere rush vs final cut on the iPad. Thank you so much!!
Hey! You’re very welcome! Thank you for the kind words. It’s kind of a random bunch of info, but I’m glad it helped you. :)
Great post ,weḷl done ! Could you please propose an alternative that is as strong and portable , but the light can be remotely fully adjusted through android app ?
Thank ya! The only light of this size I currently know of that has an app that’s available on iPhone and Android is the Aputure MC.
r5 is so natural, a bit dry of natural truth where 5d3 color is more fun
Not sure I follow. Could you clarify a bit?
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?
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. :)
Nice sir I'm hendcraft photographs from🇮🇳 your explain very good im very hepy
Thank you! I’m glad you like it. 😀
@@austinlindsay sir one video make post production pelese sir
@@superstudio9705 post production is done by another team. But, I can ever show it, I will.
@@austinlindsay ok sir
I dont know who you are, but i will find you, and will thank you
You'll need a very special set of skills. XD
@@austinlindsay i send video like this to my customer, becose he think , to make photos like this, need just a camera. Not 5-6000 usd lightning, 4-5000 equip. and 5/6 years of skills
@@ARTGaming1 yea you need more thank just a camera. Skills, and experience definitely do go a long way too.
@@austinlindsay yes, but with canon 1100d, and 18-55 , you cant do good job, some teenager with iphone have better photos, so need a upgrade, and fix or prime lenses
What a bad luck for beginner photographers like us...KZread never ever recommends channels like these without specific keywords. I literally found you in a fb group. Shame on the youtube algorithm.
Thank you. Man, I wish I knew what exact keywords to add to put my videos higher. I’d love as much exposure as I can get. But, I’m happy you found the video. And thank you for your kind words.
@@austinlindsay Actually when I want to learn about lighting, usually I use some generic key words such as “product photography”, “hard-light photography”, fashion photography etc. but it never showed your channel. KZread always suggests some useless channel and never these type of channels like yours. I assume you should take help from people who are experienced about ranking channel. Cause your channel is gem.
@IshtiaqueAhmed-ew6yl very interesting. I like that “hard light photography” one. I hadn’t thought of that before. I’m gonna add that. Yea, I probably need to find a social media guru or something to help boost my content. :)
beautiful work!
Thank you kindly! I really appreciate it
Trying to use my FC keyboard in Premiere pro 2024--used to work with the PP
Exactly a video that I want. Considering to go for older cameras and save money or just go get a new model.
If you have the money, new can be good, if you need some of the resolution, or frame rates, etc that new items can provide. But, I’m still using my 5d3 without any issue for paying gigs and hobby stuff.
Watched a couple of your videos and i'm really enjoying them. Quick question about the photos shown at the end of your videos, are they used to showcase interior design spaces or are they product photos of different furniture items?
Hey hey. Thank you for watching. And for the kind words. The photos are to showcase the items within the space. Just about everything in there (chairs, plates, rugs, vases, glasses, etc) is sold on the companies website.
Haven’t even started the video yet and I am stoked. Love seeing the alerts that you upload a video. Thanks Austin!
This makes me so happy. I’m glad to see someone likes the few videos I upload a month. Haha Cheers!
oldie but still a goodie
Thanks. I can’t believe it’s still getting views after all this time.
Guys if you purchase the Godox AD-B2 bracket it has built in LEDs which makes bare bulb useful for using the modeling feature on the flash. It's crazy bright when using two flashes set to level 3 on each flash. I love it.
That’s good info. Thank you.
That's amazing, thanks alot, I am going to photograph the exact same and your videos have explained it well, will use the exact same setup, I was just wondering the power of the light used across the room is how much?
Thank you. I appreciate it. 🙏 I don't keep track of the power of each light, or the lights overall. I just start with the camera settings I want (in this case ISO-400, f-7.1, SS-1/50th) and then I turn the power of each light up individually till things look the way I want.
@@austinlindsaythanks for your kind reply. is f7. 1 enough to get it all sharp, no need to go for f9 or greater?
Which lens are you using
I explain all that at the end of the video. :)
Looks great! I have a shoot coming up in a studio with no windows and this has helped me feel super confident going into it!
Glad to hear! Yea, big soft lights definitely will help. :)
how much do you charge for this kind of gigs?
It depends on the client. These people were my good friends so it was $700 a day, if I remember correctly.
Really nice high key look 😍 I love your approach, I'd like to recreate that on location but I dont have vflats. Is shooting thru silks can have the same effect?
Thank you! Yea, v-flats, silks, bouncing off walls or large white surfaces. Anything to soften the light will work. :)
Man I love your job 😀 For the sunlight, why don't you raise your light a little to have the window frame acting like a flag? I see so many 3D and AI out there, I really please to see real studio still exist. Awesome work!
Haha. Yea. Ifs a fun job. :) It’s been a while since I shot this. I’m not sure why I’d didn’t change the light. I probably liked where the light was falling overall and didn’t want to mess with it, so that’s probably why I needed up using a flag.
❤
Posted 3 years ago but answered my exact question today. I always find myself going back to your videos. I am trying to figure out how to blend constant with flash for interiors (outside of the studio). I wasn’t sure which light to start with. This helped a lot.
That awesome. I’m happy to hear this has helped you!! Cheers!
Dude. Thanks
No problemO! Glad you dig it!
So good. 🤌🏻 I wish I had one D2, let alone the amount you have access to 😂
It is nice having lots of lights to use. But, you definitely don’t need Profotos, and honestly most of the time I only used about 3 lights in my day-to-day sets. I really only filmed videos on sets that seemed more elaborate.
It’s ok. The designers will end up cropping in tighter anyway when they use the image.
Carpet not straight :(
Love the utility tools part ❤
Yus! I’m happy to hear. I thought that would bore most people. :)
I just have the cheap 635ii and don’t know how to turn the beeping off. Do you?
I do not. I’ve never used one of them. You may try searching the manual online. Sometimes there’s a function button you can hold down to take you into a settings menu like on these lights. But, if so, you’ll need a manual to let you know what the codes mean.
Thanks. It’s not in the manual but I figured it out by holding one of the buttons down.
just a questiojust a question for this room you don't have ceiling light ?????
Nope. We didn’t need one for this set. :)
Workflow just looks faster to me n Premiere Rush.
I was thinking about using memory foam mattresses as a dyi vocal booth. But I wish to minimize sound from a high hat and snare, too. Wonder how it compares over the frequency spectrum to the other options you mentioned and that I've been considering such as fiberglass
I’ve never had to record multiple things at once. I would suspect Rockwool is probably better if you REALLY need to isolate. But, memory foam probably does a decent enough job on a budget
How did you get the forest in the window.
The retouching team Photoshopped it in. :)
contact paper for the vflats next time ;)
That’s a good idea. Thanks.
Amazin photos! Any specific exposure settings? like ambient -1 and TTL 0?
Nope. It’s all to personal taste. Start with your ambient light. Get a shot you like. Then turn on your first light. Power that up or down till that light looks good to you. Then turn on your second light and power that up or down till it looks good to you. Rinse an repeat till the photo looks like you want it to.
Composition needs some work, but the technical explanation was great. Although you're comparing apples to oranges, if you used the adapter with the ef mount, we would have a better look at the difference between the camera
The video is about the comparison of the newest (at the current time) flagship Canon camera body with its 82mm 1.2 lens vs an older flagship Canon camera body with its 82mm 1.2 lens. Not about composition, or just the bodies alone. :)
I am well aware what the video was about @austinlindsay
could you do without flash with some bright lenses and good low light camera?
Yes, If you’re photographing in a space that already has the light quality that you like.
Hello! Your team did a great job turning the idea into reality. You guys are great. The photos are amazing
Thank you very much. That really means a lot. 🥰 thanks for taking time to watch, and for the kind comment.
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
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.
I find that the pen buttons don't work the way they should unless in mouse mode.. whyyyy? T_T
You probably need to change the settings so the buttons work the way you want them to, by going into the settings and selecting the ones that do what you want and changing them to do what you want.
Thanks for this video. I use LumaFusion but I wanted to try an editor that has variable speed control as well as the ability to write directly in the video (right now I use procreate to create an image and then import it into LumaFusion.) I wasn’t sure if Premiere or Final Cut would have these features and you helped me narrow it down. Thanks for sharing this.
You’re very welcome! I’m glad I could help. You’ve made me want to check out LumaFusion. I’ve not heard of that editor before. :)
5d iii still the best canon camera I've ever owned in terms of color and sooc image quality
Very true! It still is a great camera.
Did you ever succeed to make the Bluetooth work? It never connects to the App...
On my iPhone it works great. I’m using the app called GodoxPhoto. Currently the icon is a black background with an orange X on it.
So unbelievably helpful. Applying his to the homes I shoot on site has been tremendously helpful. Of course a bit of a modified workflow but seeing where you place your lights, why you place them there, what your settings are and why, it's just so incredibly valuable.
This makes me so happy. I’m glad you found this info useful. Thanks for watching, and thank you for the kind comment.
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!
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.
Awesome!!
Thanks a bunch!
yow bro i hope you can be more active more and more. your shots are truly amazing. greetings from japan. 🎉
Thank you! I appreciate the encouragement. I do try and be as active as possible. But sometimes life gets in the way. :)
Great video
Thanks a bunch. I appreciate the kind words!
This is what ive been looking for🥺
Nice!! I’m glad it helped.
Great idea for pairing a studio and natural light shooter, shooting at that same time.
Thank you for the compliment! And thanks for watching! 🙌
