Seriously i hate photographer/RUclipsr showing off the $3,400 profoto B1 strobes. Or see photographers showing off their godox AD200/400/600 pro portable strobes. Makes me sick, I like your style and you budget setup. Please please please do videos with you equipment 1/2/3 flash setup portrait and fashion shoots I would we all would love to see it. I’ll even share the video on Instagram and Facebook groups. You want more viewers this how to get them to subscribe. Show them that they can make money starting out with a budget in hand show his to use the equipment and how to manage a portfolio. How to get models to do a photo shoot free then how to charge after you have it all together. Please take my advice there’s very little amount of youtubers publishing these type of videos. For instance Jason leaner shoot with a Sony a6100 budget mirrorless camera, Sean tucker shows how to be portable and how to be a story teller, manny Ortiz how to setup your shoots.
I spent 40 years as a camera operator and lighting designer for television studio and field work. For me, it was all high-end equipment, the best ABC could afford. And they could afford anything I needed. After lighting gorgeous anchor women and vain anchor men, along with egotistical reporters, various old celebrities in the field interviews, (Tony Curtis told me exactly how to light him, and it was how I was going to do it anyway), and such, I got quite good at making them look like magazine covers, even in the field. This is a good into to flash lighting. I am retired and do still photography for myself now.
finally something straightforward and really helpful as I cont. to try and figure out what to buy to start my home studio because the weather in Berlin in so awful. Thank you
Thanks man. I had to look at 10 videos of people talking 10 min before I realize they just like hearing themselves talk! Thank you for getting to the damn point. I look forward to learning more from your videos.
What a wonderful video! In a world filled with people touting their own skills or accomplishments, you simply explain what a photographer would need to get started. Thank you.
Those flashes are great. They do have their limits, and eventually they die (or more often, get killed by me...) But they earn a living every day, I think of them as consumables. Since I mostly shoot on location, I really like those collapsible soft boxes from godox (I see you have one, structurally like the reflectors) and many come in a lot with the s brackets. Do they have limitations? Of course they do! But man, you can certainly do a lot before you can honestly say there was something you couldn't do because if you're equipment. Another thing, those triggers have ridiculous range. I use them to light interiors while shooting exterior shots of buildings and quite often in hundreds of feet away and they just keep working. Great video, some great advice! Personally I would add a light meter to that kit, but I come from film, and I couldn't chimp, but I suppose you can just check what you guys and adjust. But... I do think there is very valuable knowledge to be gleaned from a light meter that will really help understanding what's going on down the road for a beginner.
Sheeeshhh!! That's a really, really good well put together video. Thanks a lot for bringing clarity to the matter of how much quality work can be done on a decent budget, and a rough estimate of how much power those speed light put out 🙂
@@DenimSuitPhoto I ended up buying about half of the items linked in the description. I found your video while I was looking for a guide to buy the necessary gear to start my beginner photography and video studio and you provided just that. Thanks again for providing so much valuable information in such a short video and not dragging it unnecessarily. You've earned a new suscriptor.
This is such a straightforward video. Thank you! I’m switching from natural light photography to indoor studio for my twin babies and it has been so hard to make the switch. This video is great!
THANK YOU sooo much for this video! I'm starting on photography and wanted to know exactly WHAT would I need to have a somewhat full equipment for versatility.
What an amazing in depth 5 min review. I searched for 3 hours on youtube to find a review of gear I need to build a studio setup. I saw your video and ordered about 8 things off your list... my bank account hates you, but sir I love you for teaching me so much in such a short period of time. Cheers mate!
I liked it, very simple. Easy to understand, even though I have been shooting for a LONG time. And know all what you talked about, it was fast and easy for most all people to understand.
Absolutely superb introduction to the equipment that one who wants to start off doing studio work can get and try out without putting out an insane amount of money. They is especially helpful to the amateur photographer who wants to learn and try out studio effects. Thanks for this very helpful video. Ngai Yee
Thank you for this. I wish I'd found it sooner. I live in Panama and because the items you describe aren't readily available (and I'm impatient) I've ended up with some "interesting" work arounds to achieve what folks with access to Amazon could have at a days notice. It really sharpens your ideas of what your lighting needs are when you have to make adapters etc yourself.🤩
i loved this and the music you chose kept me present. thank you, you're a breath of fresh air as i had no idea where to even start and the things that popped up were over $1,000 as far as equiptment..
Immediate sub! This video is so helpful for beginner photographers! It's so satisfying to watch a video with such a high practical informational density that saves hours of browsing and reading
As one of the many hair-challenged photographers I can assure you that pulling your hair out isn’t going to help. If anything, the glare off my dome makes things worse.
This video was very helpful to me as I'm a beginner photographer, so its really tough for me to arrange high-end equipment, though now I have a complete idea how to get stuffs like this in low budget.
Great video. Love how to explained what is potentially necessary vs extras. Also letting me know not to freak out, as even the pro's set up manual lighting.
I really appreciate this video. I've been looking for a video that easily spells out studio flash photography. Your video was easy to understand and actually has encouraged me to start using flash instead of continuous studio lighting.
Great freaking video. Hooping this comment encourages you to do more. One quick suggestion: show the lighting set up in action. Placing the object, the lights and your approach would be fantastic. Thanks again.
This was an awesome video! I have really wanted to take the plunge into portrait photography, and you really made it very easy to understand! Thank You!
Godox speedlights and strobes probably the best value in flash lights these days. They are higher quality and more reliable, and only cost a little bit more than the Yungnuo stuff. I got tired of throwing Yungnuos away after 8-12 months of moderate use.
Very informative! Love how clear all of the information was presented! I especially appreciated all of the links to the products! Would love to see some photos taken with the products described
Very informative video without the unnecessary glitz. One thing I'm confused about though is at 0:50 sec you say the light output of these YN;s are comparable to 200 Ws studio strobes. Where do you get the 200 Ws number from because in my limited experience AA and Li-on powered speedlights are limited to about 75 Ws.
Its not a direct comparison, but someone figured out the math for a general or rough indicator of the relationship between Ws and GN. GNm = SQRT(Ws) x 4 GNft = SQRT(Ws) x 13.2 Ws = (GNm/4)2 Ws = (GNft/13.2)2 The YN560 has a GN of 190 feet (58 meters) at the 105mm zoom position. So that equals about 207 Ws using the bottom equation.
Really nice video, just invested in some used light stands and your video is clearly inspiring me to try studio photography. Thanks for the transparency.
This is a great tutorial for anybody who wants to start a small home studio. Thank you for sharing. I have recently started purchasing most of the items you listed (I prefer Godox for the quality).
The lithium battery change in lighting, plus the strobing led lights are changing everything but don’t take my word ? Camera color technology is also a game changer !
i am using 2 YNIV and i had one nikon speedlite.. my batteries are enelope they are good. you can flash a thousand before recharge again. i had a 42 in umblella by godox with diffuser and 36in. 1 white umbrella for the back light, i used trigger YN RF603. im good to go on photoshoot..
Very nice and informative video! One thing struck me most, the speedlight giving light comparable to 200 WS studio strobe. I always wondered why speedlights specs are given with GN and studio strobes with WS and was having difficulty figuring out how they compare. However I always thought that these speedlights are somewhere between 50-70 WS. How did you make this calculation or is it based on experience? Thanks!
Yo! Thank you for creating this video! This was the answer I've been looking for when doing my own research for an economic light solution for my design studio.
I had to leave a comment. Most helpful video in my photography journey so far. Thanks a lot. Please keep making more. And happy to support your patreon or any other medium if you use any, please let me know. Thanks
good video. I am trying to figure out the whole trigger thing - do you have to use all one brand for each flash or can triggers be mixed and matched? ever consider doing a video on that subject?
That video would be too short! The answer is no. Every manufacturer sets their triggers and flashes independently, so they will not intermix with each others unique radio frequencies.
Hi Scott. Thanks for making a video that explains the ever so confusing world of studio gear (at least to beginners). Can I ask you for a first softbox, what size and shape would you recomend for portraits ? Hope to see some more of your videos. Wes
also i can advice beginners to go for godox speed lights such as v860ii or ad200.. they are better long lasting and quality than youngnuo speed lights.. my recommendation list will be 1 tripod even cheap models 1 speed light 1 softbox with grid 1 speed light trigger 1 light stand 1 s type bracket.. and you are officially in business..
Gday Scott i do a lot of landscape photography and have just got the bug for some studio and outside work so a nice easy video thanks still there goes more $$$ shh she will never know cheers
Wonderful video Scott. Very succinct and lucid. One question. I have several lightstands but when I mount my strobe and light modifier there seems to be no way to angle the light. Ideally I would like to raise the light above my subject (head) and point the light down. Do I have the wrong lightstand?
The lightstand isnt the problem unless youre trying to boom the strobe over the subject The S-bracket is where the articulation comes from How are you attaching your strobe and modifier to the light stand? Are you using speedlites? or actual studio strobes?
@@DenimSuitPhoto Hi Scott. I have a Profoto A1X speedlight which I position on a Manfrotto lightstand and a Profoto B10 strobe, which I also position on a Manfrotto lightstand. In each case the light is emitted at a 90 degree angle. There's no scope to angle the light at anything other than 90 degrees.
@@indrajitadvani3742 Thats because the modifier that Profoto sells in the CLIC family has a tilting mechanism built into it. That flash family is incompatible with the "S-type" brackets I mentioned in the video. However Godox does now sell an S2 version of the flash bracket, it should work with the A1X. You can find it here: amzn.to/3ESQfwE Getting this would allow you to use cheaper Bowens style light modifiers The other option is to just a cheap Impact umbrella bracket: www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/298709-REG/Impact_3117_Umbrella_Bracket.html

I went out a bought the rotolight neo2 three package I regret it to this day spent money and it was a waste. I hate myself for it.
This is great, right to the point. Every other studio lighting video either goes on forever or keeps to many secrets.
well said
I appreciate it, this for sure more budget-friendly than some other RUclipsrs "beginner" lighting kits of $1,000+
Thanks!
finally someone explained so clear, transparent and easy to undersatnd ! thank you
Glad it was helpful!
This is one of the best and clearest videos I’ve watched on speedlighting.
Wow, thanks!
Suddenly a small studio seems to be within reach ...thanks to this video ..

No problem! Thanks for watching!
