I learnt this from Hungary's most famous portrait photographer (he used to work in Hollywood, unfortunately he died a few years ago at age +90): Almost everyone's nose is curving a bit towards the left or the right, and to counter-balance this in photography, you want to place the main light on the "shorter" side. For example: if you look at this video, his nose is going towards his left, but he placed the light on his right. This makes the curvature effect more prominent. So ideally, he should have placed the main light on the other side, on his left - and the shadow would hide / lessen the curvature. This is something that very few photographers know, it was only thought by great masters in the early / mid 20th century.
This mainly applies to photography or still, non-moving subjects such as interviews. For action or moving shots, depending on where the actor is headed, you may not always be able to likgt the subject's "good side." That being said, photography subjects are usually not in motion, and if you are shooting in a studio, you can predict or direct their movement. There are lots of photographers who emphasized how to study the face, as well as how to light & pose subjects to enhance their good side & hide flaws. Two popular options I readily know are Monte Zucker and Clay Blackmore, both who were portrait masters. Monte was a Canon "Explorer of Light," was the United Nations Photographer of the Year, and created the Monte Zucker Pneumatic Posing Stool and Westcott's Monte Illuminator Reflector, along with some of their light kits (many discontinued; he passed in 2007). He had an online social forum for photographers at Zuga.net (also closed) where he taught how to study the face, critiqued images, and coached photographers. There are quite a few current famous high-end photographers who came from that website. He died awhile ago, but I'm sure you can find many books and videos he made about portrait photography and studying & lighting the face. Some of the poses and looks may be dated, but his insight is still worth looking up.
Great video. I’ve been looking for this info for several hours and you’ve nailed it. Don’t worry about the rambling, be confident in your expertise and know that those of us who are less experienced are grateful to you for sharing.
In the opening how you explain how a really good video should be like is so valuable. The details that matter is often the hardest to understand until someone points it out. Thank you
VERY INFORMATIVE video. Something else to hit on is probably the fact that the 300d MK II COB light and P300C are likely around 15 - 20% brightness, meaning a person can get away with much cheaper and less bright lights. Lights the level of an Amaran 60d (no yet available at the time of this video I realize) and a P60c (also not yet available, but I own both these lights) would also light this scene exactly the same on a much lower budget. Yes, there are times when more light is needed for a different shooting situation, but for this dimly lit scene smaller lights (and lower cost) would do just as well of a job. I have only used the full 100 watts of my 100d a couple times. About 85-90% of the time I am using 15 - 35%, and that is why I also picked up an Amaran 60d, which can also be powered off of Sony NP-F batteries for convenience when power is not otherwise available.
Great job man. Fellow Filmmaker sent me, and this was a good video. At the end you mentioned how turning the lights at the back off made it seem more serious... That's something that not enough youtubers talk about, so if you ever wanna talk about what lights create what mood, I for one would be very interested to hear that!
i really wanted to see how you set it up or which light you were talking about, as you talked about it so a pov/bts video, even off a phone camera would've been really useful! thanks for giving the other tips and easy to understand pros&cons list!!
This was by far the most helpful video on this topic I’ve seen. I also appreciate the mention of specific products/companies so I know where to begin my search. All this talk about lights, I couldn’t stop watching the sun moving across the windows between cuts, haha.
Don´t worry about the rambling etc. I think you were on the message all the time and it was all surprisingly coherent regarding how free flowing and understated it all felt. Subscribed based on just this video. Just keep doing what feels right and don´t overproduce yourself, I think you got something airy and nice going there ;)
Thanks for glossing over quickly for the more experienced guys. Sometimes videos can get a little to teachy about bunch of stuff you don't care about or sound like an infomercial Get Job!
At first I thought your window light was just tube lights sitting behind difussion curtains. I thought that's brilliant and looks really good! Then the light changed and realized it was the actual sun lol. Might be something to recreate. It was beautiful.
I've been searching for a video that would explain to me which light is better for me and I finally found this information here in this video. Thank you very much!
Great video, I think YT needs more lighting-related content instead of only camera reviews. It's tough to find good quality lighting videos. Saving up for the Nova now and love my set of 300dii's.
Thanks Chris! I appreciate you dropping by. I agree, if there was as much emphasis on lighting as “cinematic b-roll,” there would be much more cinematic content on RUclips 😂
@@TylerEdwards I would like to see a tutorial on lighting a wide interview shot. For example, interviewee on a stool and having one camera wide head to toe, second camera tight. Struggling to get it right since the key has to be far away.
As far as your rambling on dude, the information density remains high throughout so it works great, at least for me. Rambling to me would be more like talking at length with low information density where it feels like time wasted without any new information. Love your format and B-roll example footage choices - just subscribed :D
Excellent video Tyler, very well organized even without the script. I was searching for a panel vs cob light comparison video and I was happy to rewatch yours!
Thanks! This video is really helpful. I'm trying to figure out what kind of lighting I need right now and it is so much more difficult than I first imagined.
As always, fantastic video Tyler. I’m already utilizing my 300D2 to the max just like you are. Utterly salivating over that P300 Nova! That’s the next lighting investment.
Wow! This video was incredible. I love how you talk about the different creative applications. It definitely helped me see the different uses of a point source. I'm trying to buy some lights and this really helped me see the difference.
Great vid. Great lighting. Since you asked for a tip on he video, I wouldn’t say what you’re gonna talk about next, just talk about it. And a script would help, or at least bullet points. Thanks for the info.
Really great, lots of information and nice visual examples, and I like the speed talking. Alas, if you are relatively inexperienced (and the theme is so basic, it addresses the novices ...), you might have difficulties with all the specific names. A beginner perhaps doesn't know what a "Two-by" is, or what the specifics of a "Skylight" are ...
We've always shot with point sources. We have a lot of Aputure point source lights, but we recently got the Aputure NOVA P300C LED Light Panel. And we're really considering getting more NOVA's and only keeping a couple point sources. The utility and flexibility of the Light Panel really blew us away.
I noticed you weren’t doing cuts every couple of seconds and thought "How refreshing!" I’d personally pick that style over heaps of jump cuts. Stay genuine and ramble away!
Well he is cutting He is just talking about stuff in different batch And he is reading prbbly from a teleprompter and in addition to that he is filling in the blank with examples and B-rolls I could be wrong But that's how it feels like And nope I'm not denying he is good at talking to a camera Just telling you how he created that mood 🌸
Really informative and helpful. Thank you for making this video.I am in the market for the best lighting for beauty/makeup tutorials. Do you suggest a led or point source for makeup tutorials? Also, how many lights do you think are a must for filming makeup tutorials ?
Please suggest some set of video light for beginners and Intermediate level so we don’t go wrong in our selection. I appreciate your break down on the video light.
Great clip man! For a guy who’s just starting the hunt to get my first light this was a bang on. I went to look at the apurture 300II and the 60 today. 60 is small and versatile but I feel like I’m gonna grow out of it pretty fast. You think the 120 is a happy medium or should I just go all out and hit the 300 !? Cheers, James
Which heat shield gel do you use on set? I happened to melt my color gel with my Aputure 300d mkII before and was looking for a solution so it'll be great if you tell me which one is right for your setup.
Really great explanation of lighting techniques. I am about to start a kids you tube channel and can't decide between 200x and 200d. The possibility to define exact color temperature seems to be a great and practical feature but then I will loose a lot of light power. Which model would you recommend?
Trying to get first lights and this really helped. Gonna go for the point source light for now. Thanks! wondering, how many watts from single point source would I need of studio portraits?
@@TylerEdwards Nice. We moved here from Chicago and I'm still looking for a solid place to rent high end video shoot equipment from. Not nearly as many options here, if any. Recommendations?
Hi. I have really benefited. I would like to ask something herein. Actually i would like to obtain a light beam in haze in the scene 7:05, for instance. In this scene, a nice light beam was coming from the window behind. Which type of source, i mean panel led or point spot, do you recommend to achieve a haze like that. Thanks in advance :)
thank you for the video! I love your lighting setups, they are super informative and I can learn tons from them! would love to see the BTS picture of the setup if you could include it in the future! thank you so much and looking forward to more of this awesome content!!!
Great video thanks for all the info. What I would say though is that you give so much info which is great, but perhaps try to slow down your talking, because it can become a little overwhelming when you're listening and trying to take in all the data, but it comes at you a little bit too quick:). Cheers
Great and informative video Tyler! What kind of heat shield gel did you get? I was hoping to buy a 300 D Mark II as well, but I need to get around the 3000K range. Does Aputure have a specific one made for their barn doors?
Really interesting and well explained, I just checked your buttery luts and im interested for my R5, but i see that the clog one was made for the EOS R, that was 8 bit instead of 10 bit. Are you planning on releasing one for the R5 / R6? Thanks again mate!!
Great video man! I live in Monument, CO. Where are you located? I do a lot of business filming. But if you ever need someone who does FPV drone work LMK. I'd be happy to come up and film with you for the day.
Lot's of good concise info..but what's the rush? I relistened to this on .5 playback speed and enjoyed it. As presented, I got the impression that you were rushing the presentation to make it to your toilet in time. JACK DOWN !! "Speed Kills!"
Hi Tayler, fantastic video! Lot of great info packed in there and, quite frankly, it's the only video I've stumbled upon that goes deeper into this comparison. Great job! Could you give me your advice? I currently own the and constantly use 120D II, along with a few smaller bicolor panels, but I find myself needing a lot more light. I'm contemplating whether I should go for a 300D II or the Nova P300c? I do plan on getting both, but not sure which one to go for first. Point source is a more versatile option, plus the 300D II is a bit brighter (Is there a very big difference in output in your experience?), but having the color control brings another league of creativity (not a fan of gels on very bright and hot lights unless I absolutely have to use them haha). If it were my first light I'd definitely go for the 300D II, but since I've got the 120D II, I'm not sure. What would you go for since you've got both? Thank you!
Thank you for the video. Are the soft boxes (with regular bulbs) out of comparison because they are less reliable than the LED panel or point source? I want to know your opinion about them, specially those which are marketed with (45w x 12 bulb ... and so on). Thank you again.
I like the video but agree with you about rambling 😄. Not so much 'rambling' I guess, but, you just said everything over all about twice. With each fact and conclusion said twice in a row when it was mentioned. It just feels like you did multiple takes but didn't cut them out to increase video length? I totally understandable because I really struggle making videos and sticking to the script, I always find some tiny way to mess it up each time, You did pretty good in the end haha. Still useful video but it could've been done in six minutes or less
Which light would you recommend for outdoor fashion? The talents are moving but the lighting assistant has about 1-2meter distance from the talent. I have been using an Aputure 300d but wondering if a smaller light setup will work like the godox ML60?
yah, startin w a hard light src is more versatile. and the dramatic glory of using negative fill and creating caravaggio depth is addicting. had a question about rgb / bicolor v max output and gels: seems like for budget end, having a bicolor led spot/hard src is ideal. also, seems max output in wattage is the main thing to look for in leds. so, it seems like, bicolor would maybe reduce output by half, (vs daylight balanced-only light, since the leds are mixed daylite/tungsten) so 300w led becomes 150w in daylite or tungsten. rgb seems 1/3 weaker than total wattage. 180w becomes 60w , etc. then the other route: gels. gels seem to reduce output by at least half. is it better to nuke and use gels or get a higher wattage light and have the built in color options? am a close on the estimated wattage loss (1/2 for bicolor, 1/3 for rgb)? probs too vague to answer, but a probs i'm runnin into tryna light something like a c120dii's 180w, but rgb functionality u gotta go like 500w lupo or gemini type level $$$ lol. #gatedcommunity anyway, yeh, excited to see more filmmakers start to get creative w lighting, return to the 70s golden age.

Panel or point source? What’s your choice?? Comment below! 👇👇
yes!
LED panels 😜
Personally, I think a point source is a great starting light.
both as in your super cool example in this video!!!
Both but, getting a godox vl-150 soon

I have a Nova and I adore it. But I find myself pushing my 60D through a scrim to be my go-to when I'm out in the field.
Lighting has always been that scary thing that I think I'm going to mess up so this was super helpful to just take a step back and remember the basics

Hello... so spotlight vs soft which is more soft putting diffusion panel in a spotlight ?
Really great, lots of information and nice visual examples, and I like the speed talking. Alas, if you are relatively inexperienced (and the theme is so basic, it addresses the novices ...), you might have difficulties with all the specific names. A beginner perhaps doesn't know what a "Two-by" is, or what the specifics of a "Skylight" are ...

wondering, how many watts from single point source would I need of studio portraits?
Great video Tyler! Just out of interest what was your chat to camera focal length?
Thanks! Hm I can’t recall exactly. Maybe around 20-24mm?
Nice job, Tyler. Love the video. Visuals are gorgeous too. You live in Denver as well?
Thanks! And yup, I am near Boulder!
@@TylerEdwards Nice. We moved here from Chicago and I'm still looking for a solid place to rent high end video shoot equipment from. Not nearly as many options here, if any. Recommendations?
Hi. I have really benefited. I would like to ask something herein. Actually i would like to obtain a light beam in haze in the scene 7:05, for instance. In this scene, a nice light beam was coming from the window behind. Which type of source, i mean panel led or point spot, do you recommend to achieve a haze like that. Thanks in advance :)

I'm contemplating whether I should go for a 300D II or the Nova P300c? I do plan on getting both, but not sure which one to go for first. Point source is a more versatile option, plus the 300D II is a bit brighter (Is there a very big difference in output in your experience?), but having the color control brings another league of creativity (not a fan of gels on very bright and hot lights unless I absolutely have to use them haha). If it were my first light I'd definitely go for the 300D II, but since I've got the 120D II, I'm not sure. What would you go for since you've got both? Thank you!
Thank you for the video.
Are the soft boxes (with regular bulbs) out of comparison because they are less reliable than the LED panel or point source? I want to know your opinion about them, specially those which are marketed with (45w x 12 bulb ... and so on).
Thank you again.
Great insight! Thank you! 🙏
I like the video but agree with you about rambling 😄. Not so much 'rambling' I guess, but, you just said everything over all about twice. With each fact and conclusion said twice in a row when it was mentioned. It just feels like you did multiple takes but didn't cut them out to increase video length? I totally understandable because I really struggle making videos and sticking to the script, I always find some tiny way to mess it up each time, You did pretty good in the end haha. Still useful video but it could've been done in six minutes or less
Well that was very informative 👍🏼 thank you
Which light would you recommend for outdoor fashion? The talents are moving but the lighting assistant has about 1-2meter distance from the talent. I have been using an Aputure 300d but wondering if a smaller light setup will work like the godox ML60?
Very valuable, thank you!
yah, startin w a hard light src is more versatile. and the dramatic glory of using negative fill and creating caravaggio depth is addicting.
had a question about rgb / bicolor v max output and gels:
seems like for budget end, having a bicolor led spot/hard src is ideal.
also, seems max output in wattage is the main thing to look for in leds.
so, it seems like, bicolor would maybe reduce output by half, (vs daylight balanced-only light, since the leds are mixed daylite/tungsten)
so 300w led becomes 150w in daylite or tungsten.
rgb seems 1/3 weaker than total wattage. 180w becomes 60w , etc.
then the other route: gels.
gels seem to reduce output by at least half.
is it better to nuke and use gels or get a higher wattage light and have the built in color options?
am a close on the estimated wattage loss (1/2 for bicolor, 1/3 for rgb)?
probs too vague to answer, but a probs i'm runnin into tryna light something like a c120dii's 180w, but rgb functionality u gotta go like 500w lupo or gemini type level $$$ lol. #gatedcommunity
anyway, yeh, excited to see more filmmakers start to get creative w lighting, return to the 70s golden age.
Hi, would a clamp light with a led daylight bulb be a good key light starter for a new RUclips channel in your opinion?
love this setup
great video!! thanks
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!
Do you think Newer's 660 LED is a significant difference from Newer's 528 LED?
I’m not familiar with those lights, but I would assume the 660 has more output and would always recommend more output if budget allows!
