this is why you gotta watch tutorials from a black photographer. no shade but a lot of these youtube photographers ain't using black models like that. please give us a video for darker skin tones in low-light situations as well! rich skin tones ad undertones really pop in low light but I've seen so many photosets where they make people of color look washed out.
@@1985Photos ain't that the truth. right. cause you have the main tone and the under tones. and looking at a photographer's word especially in terms of them working with people of color. tells me a lot about their skill level.
I appreciate the amounts of tongue tied you can get as well as hype/vocal you get while shooting and feeling your own work - 100% with you on both! Glad you're making more videos man!
I have a photoshoot for my online business soon and I’ve been learning here and there. However, the way you just explained everything helped me exhale, bc I’ve been freaking the f out! Thank you for using a black model with great lighting bc many photographers here were not giving it like that. And my models are black, I need to do them justice with the lighting.
This was clean my brother, very good work👏🏻👏🏻🔥🔥🔥, and the model was beautiful. I learned a lot as a new photographer getting into using off camera flash. This allowed me to start thinking more creatively about using a 2 light setup at some point and incorporating gels. Keep up the good work, much love. Blessing 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you for the video. You took your time, shared layout drawings of the lighting setups, I learned a bit more and I look forward to others from you. Nyla, great job.
Sir! Just the type of information I needed. I am setting up a home studio in my basement and this information is so helpful. Keep up the great work, I will be purchasing your lighting guild also.
I want to see you shoot a hair shoot because I will be attempting to do my own this summer I’m so nervous trying to grasp all infos that I need ‼️ Love your work by the way 🤌🏾
I know you've seen these massages already but we really appreciate your content and the time you put in to your videos. Glad to hear your getting booked and your busy!
Tommy, I've been following you for a while now. Great job my brother. I've been also sharing your videos to other photographers as well. Keep doing what you do. I agree with the other photographers, you break everything down really simple. Keep pushing out those videos bro.
Tommy, you did a really good job, the way that you explained things with the lighting setup was very clear. Thumbs up & keep it up. I also subscribed to your channel.
Thanks for the great tutorial! Very simple and easy to understand with wonderful results. It was so helpful to see the final photos next to the lighting diagrams.
Lovely model and nice tutorial; however, the first setup is not butterfly lighting as there is no butterfly under her nose. I guess you meant to say clamshell lighting. Keep them coming

Thank you man I just want to do what I can to represent us right!

Plus black photographers show you how to do things on a budget. A realistic budget under 1k
Facts cause Black Rich Skin hits different

Keep up with such content brother
Watching you from Africa Zambia 🇿🇲
Loved the setup and results, especially using the gel on the white background. Most photographers stress dark grey as the choice for gels.
Dark grey shows colors the best but you can still make white work
I love the way you explain things and the way you touch base on everything !!! You got me learning and hook
Sooooo glad I found you!!!!!! Lifesaver!!! Dope photos!
