      As we see, the reactions to Irene's "oh so euro-polite" coaching and emoting are spot on. The ease of use of these small lights and the color and even-ness of their output is superb. I love Irene's tutorials. Just like how she knows how she wants her models, she knows what she wants her viewers to learn and appreciate.

    I just bought one of these a few weeks ago and it was AMAZING for the video interviews we did... the light was incredible and I was SO SHOCKED about how much power and control I had. The Fact that it on my C-Stand without any fuss and was so easy to balance made for moving the light in many different ways that you could not do with a bigger LED system and a LOT of sand bags. This was so extremely portable and the carrying case was beautifully thought out and designed. I am thinking of getting another one of these and finding a gel solution to really punch up creativity. *I can HIGHLY recommend the Zhiyun Molus G200, it is amazing!*

  • @SummersSnaps
    @SummersSnaps Год назад

    So... serious question... do you really think you will turn your back on strobes at this point in time?
    I do event work, and when I use strobes its generally to balance with ambient light, my AD200's are quite often at a lowish power. When you factor in some LED's are so soft that they are not requiring softboxes, that they have temperature control (goodbye gels!), and that with MILC systems you get a preview before you take the shot... there's a not to like. I find it quite funny actually to be back in a 'DSLR' experience when shooting with my MILCs and strobes because I once again have to chimp to check exposures. Oh... and AF systems prefer LEDs to finding critical focus, quite important when killing a lot of ambient light.
    So... will you genuinely port fully across to constant light for your future shoots?

  • @Jameshhl
    @Jameshhl Год назад +2

    Your photos come out absolutely beautiful!! And I agree constant light can be used for both photo and video is reason enough, I have bunch of strobe monolights that have been collecting dusts since I got them constant lights. The only time I use the strobe monolights these days is when a photoshoot really need that burst to over power the sun, or freeze motion.

  • @Robterdammer
    @Robterdammer Год назад +10

    The disadvantage of LED light is that the models have smaller pupils. In low setting light and sudden flash, the pupils are wide open. Place 2 of the same photos next to each other, 1 with LED and 1 with flash. In 100% of the cases, the public opts for a photo with flash. They can't say why. But that is because the pupils are open and large pupils are associated with sympathy/affection and small pupils with fear, pain and rejection.

      The only problem with flash light was mainly with small subjects, for example table top, because the modeling light and flash of shadow and light circle can differ because the lamp is in a different place.
      The pupillary issue has been proven with sales results and psychological tests.

    Thank you for giving another comprehensive view of a photo session.
    What century did you take us back to? 19th? 16th? This was definitely *not* the 21st century!
    Morgana's double "Oh... Ooooh" was worth hearing twice. 🤣
    Yes, the continuous light is softer than a flash. A shutter speed of 1/200" allows micro-movements, by either the camera or the subject, to cause a little blurring. The flash duration of 1/2000" would create images with only much smaller micro-movements, creating 'crisper' images. [If anyone argues with you, please send them to me, I love the "It's physics" argument! ]
    Sometimes the continuous light can bother the subject's eyes. At 4:10, for example, Morgana flinches as Irene adjusts the light, shifting the angle of the softbox. Since the rest of the room is fairly dark, the contrast between the light and the room can be optically jarring for some. The typical exposure level used in this photo session [ISO 100, f/2.8, 1/250"] is close to the limit of what people would be comfortable with, perhaps one stop brighter. [Speaking for a friend...]

    • @shanetography
      @shanetography 10 месяцев назад +1

      Thank you for this comment. One reservation I have about using LEDs in my studio would be exactly what you said--the micro-movements at slower shutter speeds. I love using LEDs when I can because of the "WYSIWYG" value of them. But you sacrifice a lot of power, and compensating for that loss with camera settings can compromise image quality. I'm not saying it's a bad plan or a bad idea to use LEDs in studio--heck I'm still considering it. These are just my concerns.

      @@shanetography While technology will continue to improve LED lights, the physics of micro-movements and the physiology of eye strain under bright lights will remain. In many situations, though, people prefer the small amount of blurring. When people say, "I prefer natural light to flash", that is what they are referring to, continuous vs burst lighting. There is also the point-source nature of flash, and they will qualify their natural light preference as excluding direct sunlight.

    I started photography a short time ago . I own a 5D Mark IV and I regret buying this camera. Not because it's bad, it's because at that price I was able to opt for a Canon R6, R8, RP with Some lens. I was guided by ooolder photographers :( .
    Your oldest videos are with a 5D Mark III + 85mm 1.2 and I love them, because it serve me so much right now. Really thank you very much
