Solid, concise video with great info and examples. I also like your calm demeanor. It's refreshing compared to other I-am-so-super-hyped presentations.
Wow, this video is an absolute goldmine of photography knowledge! 📷 Thank you so much for sharing these invaluable tips and techniques. I can already see a significant improvement in my photography skills just from watching this. Your explanations were clear and easy to follow, and the visual examples were spot on. I especially loved the segment about rim lighting and gobo lighting. Keep up the fantastic work and please keep those tutorials coming! You're making a positive impact on so many aspiring photographers like me. 👏📸
Amazing video! 🔥🔥🔥Just 2 questions. 1: in your next video can you explain a little more about the lights you use? I'm still learning about all the different kinds of lights the difference between them. 2: after you go over all your favorite light setups, can you do one specifically with color leds and / or color strobes? Ty!! 🙏🏾
The lighting I use is the AD600Pro heads. Best bang for your buck on the market. As for color leds, maybe, I don't tend to do a lot of mixed color work :)

Great video! You totally got me by Squarespace not being the sponsor :D
If you're asking about the camera I am shooting stills with, it's the Nikon z6II w/ the 85 f/1.8 for 95% of my work. For my BTS camera I am using a Sony a6400 with the Sigma 16mm.
I really like the results of the 4 setups you did. I want to try them all and I will try to use cheaper light modifiers, it would be nice if you could specify the flash power in each setup. Thank you, this clip is accurate, creative and you can learn small things. 🖤🙌🏼
Awesome video, on your rim light light facing forward it looks like you would be getting flare in your lens the way it looks from the video and where you are sitting...
my name is Jin from Korea. and wanted to say thank you. this tutorial quality is so great and it was really helpful about set up lights or how to use optical lighting. really thank you. I mean it. of course subscribe you as well. please make more video about your skills please haha.
Great video! Thanks for posting. I was curious how you prevent lens flare in setup four. Are you further back and using a longer focal length to get out of the throw of light from the rim? Thanks.
Nathan, I don’t know but those awesome images as viewed on RUclips are set in a bright white frame that is twice in area than the photos. Is there a way the photo presentation be set in a gray frame like the old 18% Kodak gray. Your images would be so much more impactful.
Hello good! Excellent work! A question, in the spot at minute 3:18, do you use continuous light or flash? If it is a flash, at what power do you shoot it? From already thank you very much!
Thank you for another beneficial lighting video again. I will try to find this sweet spot in those two umbrellas to the backlighting. Haven't paid attention to it so far. Why are you using an umbrella for the rim lighting in the last scenario? I always go with my striplight with a grid to avoid spilling in any direction. Using an umbrella seems to me way more tricky. What is the advantage?
Solid, concise video with great info and examples. I also like your calm demeanor. It's refreshing compared to other I-am-so-super-hyped presentations.
Couldn't have said it better!

Amazing work, very well explained and informative. Thank you for making this video
Also I almost forgot, good tips!
Fantastic ideas. Thank you for sharing
Weird question, great tutorial by the way. Thank you again. For your flash, do both the key light and the fill light flash or just they keylight?
Both lights are firing 😉
@@NathanElson Thank you! :D
Amigo muchas gracias que serio tu canal. Balon de Oro total!
Your explanation amazing & work incredible !
Glad it was helpful!
Tremendous - enjoyed seeing - in the rim light set up is the key light gridded as there appears little light from it on the backdrop
Nope, I don't use grids, it's just in how you angle the lighting.
Excellent video great deal of information and ideas presented.
Glad it was helpful!
Absolutely stunning work and styling! Thanks for going over so many details on how you got the shot too!
You can mount it on the 300 for sure
Your video is straight to the point and easy to understand. Might I add the shots are top tier!
Thank ya kindly.
Thanks for sharing with us ! great work !!
Nice video, very informative. I like the first the best. Technically it would be Short lit Rembrandt lighting with the way it's set up in the video.

Very helpful information in an easy to watch and smooth flowing video. Thank you from Hawai'i!
Lovely camera work, and styling. Great job! Nathan what's your camera setup for a shoot like this?
If you're asking about the camera I am shooting stills with, it's the Nikon z6II w/ the 85 f/1.8 for 95% of my work. For my BTS camera I am using a Sony a6400 with the Sigma 16mm.
Amazing tutorial and photos. I learned so much🙏Suscribed!
Extremely helpful! Thanks.

Flash power varies depending on modifier and its distance from the model, but it's typically metered to f/8 in the studio.
@@NathanElson thanks!
Magical!! thanks for sharing!!
Awesome video, on your rim light light facing forward it looks like you would be getting flare in your lens the way it looks from the video and where you are sitting...
I get that comment a lot, and I've even had my assistants on set ask me about it, but the light is out of frame, so it never flares on me.
At it again 😎👊🏾. Nice work as usual Nate.
Thanks bud! Hope you're well.
A really nice video. You definitely said rim too many times, but the video is perfect.😂
Oooweee I definitely need to try the wrap around lighting setup 🔥

Hey Nathan. What’s the difference between wraparound lighting vs. rim lighting? Is it the position of the fill light?
my name is Jin from Korea. and wanted to say thank you. this tutorial quality is so great and it was really helpful about set up lights or how to use optical lighting. really thank you. I mean it. of course subscribe you as well. please make more video about your skills please haha.
You're welcome :)
@@NathanElson I wish you could make tutorial about black and white editing from Lightroom or capture one. I really like your black and white mood
I have presets / styles that handle all of that: www.nathanelson.com/store

Solid thought. I'll give it a go on the next video. Thanks!
The best 📸
Love these, especially the one with the two medium umbrellas. I'm guessing they are 41" are they White or Silver ?
You betcha, and white all day every day.
The pictures are so stunning! What camera did you use for the photoshoot?
I had a D800 for some of the shots, and my latest camera is the z6II
Hello good! Excellent work! A question, in the spot at minute 3:18, do you use continuous light or flash? If it is a flash, at what power do you shoot it? From already thank you very much!

4:50 the size of umbrellas please and did you use diffuser as well?
Many thanks for your videos so educational 🙏
41" umbrellas with no diffuser
U SO TALENT !
Thank ya
awesome video bro
Awesome! Sigma 50 on there?
Can we say the 1st demo is kind of flattering light?
We can say whatever we like
great thanks
Welcome 😊
amazing

Why are you using an umbrella for the rim lighting in the last scenario? I always go with my striplight with a grid to avoid spilling in any direction. Using an umbrella seems to me way more tricky.

The way I position the umbrella makes it so that I don't have to worry about spill, and umbrellas are so much more portable.
Great work, what F-Stop are you shooting in?
In studio, typically f/8
