Ngl, Westcott has been on fire lately with the educational content 🎉 and this guy is in GOATED (Quantz and Brad Deel) territory in the Sportrait world
Thank you for the helpful BTS and the tips!
Thanks for having me!
Come back soon!
Very professional of you to share so much of the information relating to light positioning, camera settings, types of modifiers. So often, these types of video simply show the results without the pertinent information relating to setting and positioning. Paying it forward! Many, many thanks. I'm going attend your seminars simple because of your decision to share.
thanks.
Great tutorial with some fantastic images! Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it!
Really enjoyed this video Jason! The new FJ touch screen looks fun!
Amazing results 👐 Thanks for the helpful (and lovely down-to-earth) teaching ☺
OUTSTANDING!
Great instructor! Quick and concise with great results.
Thank you from south-western France
Amazing. Thanks for this great content.
Great tutorial.
Fantastic video. Thank you for sharing
*To keep the on-location photography safe for the athlete and others, I would have sandbagged each light!*
Nice!
Great video….one question though: why crossing fill and main and not having the fill on axis?
The reflection action shots are amazing! How can I achieve the same reflection effect?
The lower you are to the floor (with your camera) the better the reflection is in the floor.
Great video! What fog machine were you using?
I did some digging on Amazon and it looks like the "ADJ Products VF 1300 1300W Compact Value Fogger"
What are your thoughts on the 45 degree deep focus reflector vs the 70 degree? I have both but I feel I do not get as much light using the 45 degree.
Great video, thank you. Can you tell me how much weight was used as counter on the easy boom? I just purchased one and the filled bags it comes with, is not countering a AD600 and softbox, so wanted to use the weight setup instead.
Canon needs to fix that. You shouldn’t have to tun the trigger off to check your ambient light. Sony has a setting that shows the real ambient light even when the trigger is on.
Nikon has that, too. It’s just quicker to turn the trigger off than find the setting in the menu to show live exposure.
Just curious - why high speed sync vs flash duration to freeze the action?
Same here... totally unnecessary!
Curious What camera-+lens were used? Is that a Z8+24-70mm f/2.8?
Thank you!
For that shot he was using a Z9 with 24-120 f/4
@ thank you
I clicked because the thumbnail looked like the girl was farting out steam.
You need a back light ! (not just a rim/skim light)
