    Lol, glad you said the part about the 5' octa, as I was about to try that. I do have two strip boxes though, so I think I'll give that a try. Really great, informative vid. Thanks!

    • @JohnGress
      @JohnGress  Год назад

      Thanks Wayne! You could pair the 5' octa with a 20x30 piece of foam core and shoot a headshot too.

    This comment came before the 3:00 mark. I’ve already taken great value from this video and plan to try this setup during my next shoot. I’m going to have to do a workshop next time you’re in central Florida.

    Can we do it with single light with 65cm softbox??

    • @JohnGress
      @JohnGress  11 дней назад

      No, because a 65cmm softbox is smaller than the black background width.
