I am glad these videos are here for refresher course for personal or campaign. I see if I do an update of personal pictures. Great work Jeff. Wish you great success this year and next.
Yes, this is an excellent series.... Your post processing is spot on, and I would like to see your workflow and general editing tips, especially the b&w edits - Thank you.
This video was insight for me... I have a small garage studio close to the same size as described... I working toward a style that I can recreate as my signature look... this video helped...
Jeff, I just this morning found you and your u tube channel. I'm so grateful for your work and your educational forum of shooting in small spaces. I'm currently figuring out if a small bedroom in my home could be converted to a studio. I'm hopeful thanks to your work and your videos. Thanks
Just have to say you are amazing! I am glad you are introducing yourself different. You are an educator at heart. It easily comes through in your speaking style, presentation of yourself and your topics. Thanks so much for sharing your countless videos.
This video is helpful. I started photography some months ago. I have a little space and I have been struggling to use my 130cm umbrella with Godox AD600BM. Now I see how to manage my space without the light spreading out. Thank you 🙏🏻
Hey Jeff , I'm just starting out on working with off camera lighting ,and working in my living room . Just treated myself to a hand painted canvas , little dark , but I'm after a certain look . thank you for these videos , they are such a help ...
Jeff, I love your videos. You’re a great communicator (with a beautiful voice by the way!). This 60ft series is really useful, please keep on doing it.
Excellent work, Jeff. I'd particularly like to see more detail on how you're able to use and control the large reflective umbrella with diffusion in a small space. And, if you're combining and balancing available light from your north-facing window with strobe within a small space. Thanks for sharing your insights and experience.
Thanks Jeff, I just created a fairly small home studio, a little bigger than yours and the tips you gave here fit my purpose exactly. Thanks for sharing your amazing amount of knowledge.
Love every one of you videos. thank you for sharing you knowledge with us ! I recently purchased my second speedlight and I having problems with shooting in a very small space, can't wait for your future videos !
I couldn't agree more! I produced something with CreativeLive years ago on that subject, but it's something I absolutely want to revise and recreate. :)
Really great video and inspiring to us with out much space. If I lived in that apartment, I would look at installing two eyebolts in the walls to hang the backdrop and do away with the two support stands. I am not sure how much the backdrop weighs, but I don't think the eyebolts would need to be very heavy duty...If needed, they could be easily removed and the holes filled etc so no permanent damage done...
Those images are SPECTACULAR!!! I enjoy your videos!!! You explain everything & I like the way you have that warm lamp behind you lighting the wall behind you. I’m EXCITED for future videos with more details
I really do love this series and the last set of videos you have put out (not that I didnt love the other ones, but these are fuego) . I need to play a bit more with a one light set up in the apartment and test some things out because when I do try it, its a hit or miss. Thanks Jeff!
Love it! Im facing the same issues with space here in Queens as well! lol, yea Im in NYC. Would be lovely to if you do some workshop some day! I down to it for sure! Great content!
Love the work as always Jeff. These videos keep getting better. Love this one because it give a look at the high quality results without the breaking the bank studio. Keep instilling your wisdom on all of us.
Thank you very much for these helpful tips! Your images look stunning! I'm curious if you're using a make-up artist? Because the skin looks really amazing.
I’m really enjoying your videos Jeff. Great presentations and you have a unique voice that’s easy to listen to. Also very impressive use of your small space in NYC. I’ve rented a few studios in Manhattan/Brooklyn before, but I’d love to make some projects just work in my little apartment if I could. Thanks for the work you put into your content. 👍🏼
Thanks so much for the kind words and for watching! I know that shooting in small spaces isn't ideal, but it's the reality that many of us work in. I'll be producing more content regarding this in the next couple of weeks. Please stay tuned. :D
thanks for the video, Jeff. You are correct in that for the images you showed one really does not need a whole lot of space. And that's a great thing. Love your images, by the way. Keep the videos coming
hi Jeff, I'm really looking forward to the series. I love photography, but due to family and work I haven't got the luxury to go to big places. So I try in a small place.. my room. I'm sure your videos will help me a lot.
As always Jeff, you prove how a talented photographer can create so well with so little. Amazing images - I love the B&W but I would love to see the one with the girl in color as well.
Wow Jeff you just have smaller Space than i have. Nice that i have seen you using an Reflektor for your Shootings. Thanks for the really nice Content. Grreetings from Frankfurt Germany.
I made my very small living room in a studio ( I am a beginner) . So the those images created in a space like mine gave me hope lol Thank you for sharing your knowledge ! 🙏
Great content, Jeff. Liked and subscribed right away. Lots of us with super tiny spaces who would love to learn more about how to make the most of them. Thank you for sharing that knowledge.
Antti Mutka thanks so much! I've been using a canon 24-70mm f2.8L II on a full-frame Canon 5D Mark Iv without any issues. :) The results were in the images shown here. :)
Thanks for the info! I've been thinking about a more dedicated space at my home but my beloved 85mm is a bit tight. Time to check out some 50mm and 35mm glass soon :) ps. Shameless plug if you want to take a look at my work, big fan of B&W too instagram.com/mutka
Hey Jeff, I recently discovered your channel and I'm really enjoying the content, so thanks for what you're doing. I find you are addressing some really important questions that are very relevant to those of us who aren't doing this full time, but still aspire to a high standard with aim of creating more value. Would love to see more on shooting in small spaces. Two questions for you about this - 1) unfortunately, I only have 8 ft ceilings in my current space, but otherwise have good width and distance to subject. My main modifiers are a 31" Octa from Lastolite and a 48" Glow parabolic softbox from Adorama. Obviously, it's tough to get either one overhead. I need a beauty dish, but I'm wondering what else you would recommend in terms of prioritizing new modifier purchases to contend with the low ceilings to get that light higher. Is there a really flat softlighter out there? 2) Given your short distance to subject in your space, what's the widest focal length you're willing to shoot for a half length portrait? Can you actually do full length in that space? Thanks!
Hey Jeff, that big light pointing almost straight down, does that style of lighting have a name? Also do you ever use curved reflectors like an Eyelighter? Thanks! Really like your content.
super tuto. How do you manage the shadows on neck when light is on top ? or does 165cm softbox diameter make the job ? It also seems that your umbrella is very close from the head of people, not 1m above.
Hi Jeff, I like your videos a lot. Please keep up the good work. Question: can you use V-Flats as backgrounds instead of seamless? I know they are designed to reflect or absorb light, but it seems like they could make a decent background too.
That's a great question! For a few years, I'd use V-Flats as a background alternative. You'll want to be sure that there are no rips, tears, or holes, or you'll have to fix it in post-production! :)
Love your work Jeff and I´m reading one of your books. I would like answering you... how do you avoid highlights when your shooting with the umbrella so near of the subjects? Thanks and best regards!
Hi Jeff! I've been through about a dozen of your videos now, and they just keep getting more and more helpful - thank you! I am about to move into an apartment and I was hoping to use some of my space similarly to what you're doing. I'm worried my ceilings (at 8ft) might be too low for the overhead umbrella. Can you share your experiences with ceiling height?
Thank you infinitely for the kind words! 8ft isn't ideal, but it's not IMPOSSIBLE to shoot in. Remember that regardless of the area that you're working in, learning to CONTROL light is the most critical aspect. Make it work for you. :)
@jeffrojas hey bud! I really appreciate this video a lot. I had a single question about your set up. I notice the claps you were using, can you please give me the name or link to them? I been trying yo find those? They seem really seamless to move the backdrop up and down.
I cant wait to see more love watching your videos this is a style im really wanting to learn . May i ask when shooting like this in studio are u shooting at f8 or lower .ots has a window light feel to it..
Thanks, so much! It honestly depends on what "feel" I'm photographing and what I want to keep in focus. Second, how much light am I working with plays a huge factor. If I'm shooting with window light and it's relatively dim, opening up my aperture is essential. If I'm shooting strobes, I can shoot f/8 all day and be okay.
I'm gathering he cancels out the ambient light in the room altogether with camera settings before turning on the strobe. Flash is inherently supposed to be within daylight colour temperature range anyhow. So even if blending both types of light (flash with daytime afternoon natural light type thing) is something one would want to do so it won't be an issue really.
Jason Bodden Is absolutely right! That's exactly right. By eliminating one light source or the other, I can better correct for one color temperature. :)
Amazing photos! I would like to try the overhead lighting setup but my ceiling is a bit too low and I don't have a huge softbox. Would bouncing a light off the ceiling give a similar light?
Hi jeff how are you? I am Thomas from Geneva in Switzerland. My question is: would a godox 200 be powerful enough to use with this size of umbrella? If not, what would be the biggest umbrella I could use with this type of light. Thanks for sharing your skills. 👍
Saludos!✌ I love the way how you manage the light, this serie is so interesting, i would like to know how can i get that metallic effect in the skin like in your b&w imagenes...
finally find it.. thank you so much. Jeff just a quick Q, if i want to fill the background as well for a even light will it work if i add more light infront with softbox? thanks you so much. just Subs
Hi Jeff, I have a question about C-stands. I’m from Portugal and in here is hard to buy the Avenger A2030D 40-Inch. However I found the AVENGER C-STAND 33 (product ID: A2033LKIT) in a local store. Can you tell me if this could be a good alternative for the same studio space and lights you show? Keep it going with your videos. They really worth it! Thanks in advance.
Hi Jeff like ur work. im new for photography .just wanna know what stand and boom arm brand u recommend , also i have seen some kinda jib , heavy duty one but could not find it , do u know any good brand but no need to rob banks ? many thanks
I have a very small space. Please what diffuser can I use with my strobe as my 120cm umbrella take almost all the space in the room and I cannot even see my model or client
Jeff,Question: i live in small apartment. what strobe wattage should i get if will be occasionally shooting at wide apertures using 60-65” softbox like yours. also, occasionally full body shots.
So this is going to feel like a dumb question - how did you keep the umbrella over the subject like that? I tried to do that, but the umbrella kept moving position. Like, how did you lock it into place?

Thanks so much! Speedlights is something that I'll absolutely be covering in the next few weeks. :)
Good stuff Jeff. Next time you should talk more about the light position, height and angle.
I couldn't agree more! I produced something with CreativeLive years ago on that subject, but it's something I absolutely want to revise and recreate. :)
Your a real G and great teacher bro. You're appreciated!!!!
Great stuff. Please produce more videos on working in smaller spaces.
Great pictures and amazing explanation!!!! Thank you so much!! Very inspiring work.

Please keeping posting content for very small spaces!!! I’m so grateful!! You are amazing!!!
I really do love this series and the last set of videos you have put out (not that I didnt love the other ones, but these are fuego) . I need to play a bit more with a one light set up in the apartment and test some things out because when I do try it, its a hit or miss. Thanks Jeff!

Hey jef. Can you give us vidio for one versatile diffuser ever, and the reason. and how to use it? . Thanks jef you so great 👍
Nice work Jeff! I'm from NY too, I love NY style!
That was great! Really appreciate the advice
Anytime! Thanks for watching! :)
Studio space is not the biggest problem, ceiling height is.
Cool space, can't wait to see more tips! What focal lengths can you use on the wider end for 2/3 body shots before you run out of space on backdrop?
Antti Mutka thanks so much! I've been using a canon 24-70mm f2.8L II on a full-frame Canon 5D Mark Iv without any issues. :)
The results were in the images shown here. :)
Thanks for the info! I've been thinking about a more dedicated space at my home but my beloved 85mm is a bit tight. Time to check out some 50mm and 35mm glass soon :) ps. Shameless plug if you want to take a look at my work, big fan of B&W too instagram.com/mutka
Bro. Damn. Saw the first photo and subscribed.
Always phenomenal work my man
Thank you kindly! :)
Great Jeff ......... Thank you very much
Thank you and thank you for watching! :)
Your vids inspire me, bud. Great work as usual.
Jason Bodden Thank you! :)
Hey Jeff, I recently discovered your channel and I'm really enjoying the content, so thanks for what you're doing. I find you are addressing some really important questions that are very relevant to those of us who aren't doing this full time, but still aspire to a high standard with aim of creating more value. Would love to see more on shooting in small spaces. Two questions for you about this -
1) unfortunately, I only have 8 ft ceilings in my current space, but otherwise have good width and distance to subject.

@jeffrojas hey bud!
I really appreciate this video a lot. I had a single question about your set up. I notice the claps you were using, can you please give me the name or link to them? I been trying yo find those? They seem really seamless to move the backdrop up and down.
Great video. Question for you - what focal length did you use for the waist up photos you showed?
I cant wait to see more love watching your videos this is a style im really wanting to learn . May i ask when shooting like this in studio are u shooting at f8 or lower .ots has a window light feel to it..
Thanks, so much! It honestly depends on what "feel" I'm photographing and what I want to keep in focus. Second, how much light am I working with plays a huge factor. If I'm shooting with window light and it's relatively dim, opening up my aperture is essential. If I'm shooting strobes, I can shoot f/8 all day and be okay.
Great stuff, thanks for the tips!
Thanks so much for watching, Corey!
Keep them coming , nice!
Thanks so much Juan! :)
Lovely. How do you deal with the difference in color temperature coming from the windows and your studio lights?
I'm gathering he cancels out the ambient light in the room altogether with camera settings before turning on the strobe. Flash is inherently supposed to be within daylight colour temperature range anyhow. So even if blending both types of light (flash with daytime afternoon natural light type thing) is something one would want to do so it won't be an issue really.
Jason Bodden Is absolutely right! That's exactly right. By eliminating one light source or the other, I can better correct for one color temperature. :)
Amazing photos! I would like to try the overhead lighting setup but my ceiling is a bit too low and I don't have a huge softbox. Would bouncing a light off the ceiling give a similar light?
Great photos and video! I'm struggling to get much light in the eyes with the overhead lighting setup. How do you manage to get light in the eyes?
right, and Im trying to figure out where he has the flash
Hi jeff how are you? I am Thomas from Geneva in Switzerland. My question is: would a godox 200 be powerful enough to use with this size of umbrella? If not, what would be the biggest umbrella I could use with this type of light. Thanks for sharing your skills. 👍
Thanks Jeff!
Saludos!✌ I love the way how you manage the light, this serie is so interesting, i would like to know how can i get that metallic effect in the skin like in your b&w imagenes...
That's a great question! My method is still consistent with this old video that I created: ruclips.net/video/ApuKCzqIsco/видео.html
Hope that it helps! :)
👍 well done stay motivated
finally find it.. thank you so much. Jeff
just a quick Q,
if i want to fill the background as well for a even light
will it work if i add more light infront with softbox?
thanks you so much.
just Subs
Very informative!
Thanks so much! :)
When you shot a large overhead light how do you prevent falloff between the head & the knees? Close light, far light ...?
oooh. I like this question. I would think it would be to move the light to battle the inverse sq. law, but this is limited space.
Jim Mauch great question! There’s ALWAYS going to be a fall off of light. Slightly tilting it toward your subject definitely helps. :)
Hi Jeff,
I have a question about C-stands. I’m from Portugal and in here is hard to buy the Avenger A2030D 40-Inch. However I found the AVENGER C-STAND 33 (product ID: A2033LKIT) in a local store. Can you tell me if this could be a good alternative for the same studio space and lights you show?
Keep it going with your videos. They really worth it!
Thanks in advance.
Hi Jeff like ur work. im new for photography .just wanna know what stand and boom arm brand u recommend , also i have seen some kinda jib , heavy duty one but could not find it , do u know any good brand but no need to rob banks ? many thanks
It says the backdrop is fashion gray, is it not black or does it just look black onscreen? Thanks for all you do Jeff!
Hahah jus finding your channel beautiful models learning so much tips has anything chance with lighting since then 😂
Quite calculative, good.
I have a very small space. Please what diffuser can I use with my strobe as my 120cm umbrella take almost all the space in the room and I cannot even see my model or client
Amazing! Thank you ever so much.
Thank You!
Jeff,Question: i live in small apartment. what strobe wattage should i get if will be occasionally shooting at wide apertures using 60-65” softbox like yours. also, occasionally full body shots.
very informative
So you use the umbrella and a strobe? Or was that a speed light or on camera flash?
Great question! Profoto D2 with an Umbrella Deep White XL. Probably the LARGEST modifier I own and still fits in that small of a space. :)
So this is going to feel like a dumb question - how did you keep the umbrella over the subject like that? I tried to do that, but the umbrella kept moving position. Like, how did you lock it into place?
New subscriber here! This was such an awesome vid!
Awesome video keep then coming. @rc1photography @bobbyfingers
