HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 окт 2024
- Older people need more glamour lighting than the typical young RUclipsrs who are in their 20s and 30s. This tutorial shows the basics of understanding how to use proper lighting to hide wrinkles, aging, saggy skin and even how to fill out the face more so it doesn't look gaunt and shriveled. Stay tuned for more instructional basics on lighting tricks, including affordable methods that cost almost nothing- not using softboxes or stupid ring lights. Again, this video adresses lighting BASICS. Just because softboxes are used in this video, does not mean you need lots of softboxes to get a similar look.

Cara is a trooper. My wife would never let me show any photos of her in unflattering light. taking her picture for a passport was like a headshot session!
Cara is beautiful in any light. ❤️
Markus is not your ordinary RUclipsr! This man is a genius.. 💯💯💯
I agree, I am learning lots, thanks for this Video and your model is awesome 👍
Yea I'm trying to mention my town on these comments of theirs and get them to get a place near me in Manton California. I really respect them alot and I'm always trying to recruit top notch people online. Manton is one of the greatest places on Earth for healthy living. It's way better than vegas for quality of life, but I get it if u got lots of cash vegas is fun. Unfortunately in this covid world rural remote places with great weather n endless natural resources are for sure the future. These guys will probably live to a 100 or longer so we might as well find a sustainable offgrid place if we're going to live a long life from now.🌞
What I love about this channel is that Markus just shares his knowledge without trying to sell me any products, courses, etc etc. Thank you 🔥
And no Squarespace integration in every video, as other RUclipsrs doing 😅
Not to mention the flat out "I don't like this" when others at least try to be diplomatic about the gear that has been sent to them. This kind of honesty is underrated, to say the least.
@@haraldthi agreed 100%
And he is a pro, unlike most other photo channels here.
169 yr old nerd RUclipsr here, who has been working on lighting for a while .... I must say this was the best lighting lesson I’ve seen. And especially valuable for me given my age. ;)
Wow you should be in the Guinness book of records!
@@MarkusPix I can't go public that way ... as you know, there can only be one.
Agree!!!
Highlander?
She is so patient with you, you lucky bastard ;) great video thanks to Cara especially :)
Agreed, Cara is such a pro and so easy on the eyes in any lighting.
Cara deserves many awards for allowing you to do this. Totally worth it for us, though, as it clearly shows the difference between lighting styles. With a lot of my work (live events with a variety of presenters), I tend to add a retouching plugin into the post processing, which also removes a lot of imperfections.
Love your work here. Showing what works.
Thanks. As a 50 year old RUclipsr this is much appreciated.
Great info! Thanks! And a big thank you to the beautiful Cara for putting herself out there for the world to see. Sure, she's not 20 years old anymore, but she still looks much better than many of the 20-year-olds I see on RUclips. Thank you both!
Every video.... you bless us with new useful knowledge
Cara looks great no matter what
О, Александра! Как круто Вас тут встретить! Здравствуйте!
@@anastasiiafedorenko6208 it’s so true
Wow! Just wow! I have to commend you and especially Cara (as the model) for putting out this video. As quirky and most importantly (as real) as it is, this has been one of the most informative videos about lighting I have seen on RUclips. Your very honest and direct approach is, I think, what did it for me. It really drove the point home in a very straight forward manner. I never realized how much lighting affects the overall look of the subject. Thank you both for providing such great and informative content. 🙏🏾
Appreciate you leaving a nice comment. I really like these people as well.
As an Older woman starting her channel, this is so appreciated.. Love you guys
I’ve watched 100 lighting videos (yes, I’ve actually spent more time watching lighting videos than I have spent actually lighting videos.)
This is the best and simplest most straightforward easy to implement and remember lighting video I’ve ever seen.
Cara is The Best!! You guys show the blessing that marriage truly is ... and such a sport with you TRYING to make her look less than beautiful, My congratulations to you sir, not for another fantastic video but for being the love of a woman like her... that is quite an accomplishment.
Been learning lighting since the 70s, hear I am 50 years later and still learning. Thanks for a very helpful video. Really appreciate your efforts.
I'm thinking of adding a poster of you on my wall. I learn more practical advice from you guys in one video than I do from 10 videos from the "other guys."
This is an outstanding tutorial on lighting. Having spent a large portion of my career shooting fashion and glamour in Milan and LA and at times using up to 40 lights it's not about Photoshop it's always has and always will be about the Light
100% honesty: I liked the 'youtube lighting' setup the best. But that's just because I like a natural look and because I feel that a beautiful woman shouldn't have to hide her age. But that's just a personal preference and not a judgment: I totally understand why you would feel different. Either way the effects of the different setups is super evident and you explained it masterfully. I have great respect for your generosity in giving this knowledge away freely, and you both seem like amazing people!
Hi Marcus, I wanted to say how much I love this tutorial. It was excellent that you really broke everything down and showed each step for multiple techniques. My father and I are filmmakers, I directed my first feature film at 17 years old and I wrote my first feature script when I was 19. It took me 8 days to write it! I just watched your other “Who am I?” RUclips video and it’s amazing what you have done and the fact that you’re trying to give your expertise to everyone! It’s inspiring me. My father and I fund our own films and between both of us have 15+ feature length scripts, and we are basically in-house one-Stop filmmakers. We are doing animatics for our latest feature film. We do everything from the voice overs to the editing to the sound design to the film composition all of it haha. It would really be just fun to to collaborate with you or just talk to you if you would want to 🙂
Also one more thing: She looked beautiful in every single lighting shot lol Even though I know that I know the purpose is to show "20 years younger" lighting look but I wanted to say that anyway haha
You guys are just GORGEOUS and most of us in the 40's, wish to look like that right NOW!! 🤗
Markus this awesome how you show ever different angles of lighting . . . .and life does goes "faster than you think"....lol
Wow, the change in cheek bones is amazing
I have consumed hundreds of hours of photography tutorials and done dozens of professional headshot shoots. Though you may not want to copy this exact look, the nuggets of fundamental truth in this video are a game changer.
Hi there. I’m a woodworker and I am struggling with lighting for stills and video. For example a desk, charcuterie board or cutting board and live edge epoxy pours for dining room tables. I want to bring out the beauty in the wood. I’m in my 60’s and this video you did is great. I’m not a 20 something you tuber. You tubes to me were pulling tubes out of a TV in my younger days. Lol! I have the lighting equipment but am off on my settings. Thanks in advance.
Just found this oldie but goodie. Great tips, and such modesty. You two look 30 years your own juniors! And this videos from 3 years ago 😮
This is the only video I've seen about lighting women over 40- a little overwhelmed with 5 softboxes but I'm glad to hear something honest. Most of the lighting on RUclips has been given by young men lighting themselves on one side. ☺️
You don't need 5 softboxes lol, but one bedsheetor umbrella for sure... or at least 2 small lights at 45 degrees from face above forehead level
Cara looks gorgeous also when she doesn't smile. I didn't know there was lighting from below.
THANK YOU. I'm 62, and just starting a vlog. There's nothing on the Internet for older people in front of the camera. Really frustrating and, honestly, a little bigoted the way I see it.
But you guys are great. Smart. Accessible. Easy to understand. And kind.
Your moat recent video brought me here. The type of video that i do means lighting and looking youthful and lying about who we really are is important. 😂😂
Love you, Markus ... and I've said it before but it brings me such joy to see how wonderfully you treat your wife.
You're one of the best channels on RUclips ... probably in the world. ❤
wow .. took some really cool lighting tips from the video .. tough i only hv 1 light 💡... learning always enlighten us 🙂
Markus always has the best stuff. Keep up the good work.
YOU TWO LOOK GREAT!!!!
When experienced person giving tips, really different and more information! Totally different from most youtubers!
True story He is rly a Gold Nugget on youtube
Well this might be the most beautiful wrinkles I saw so far. Aging is a part of our live and they often make a person more interesting than this soft glow faces. But of course I get the point/ this is what people want. Thank both of you.
I don't want the folks on YT to see my neck wrinkles. I get a lot of criticism for that
miles and smiles
Yes, this gives more knowledge than just text book light guides. Thank you both.
@@noxtrom better than my $80 Blaine Brown book from film school
Markus that was such a informative video great job and thank you for this onsite. Never knew what to look for befor but now I know and know how to fix it.
the best lighting teaching I have ever seen
Very good exercise and demonstration of how the placement of light affects the human face.
Incredible knowledge sharing for pure pleasure. Thank you for this generosity. Always pleasant and interesting
Both of you are absolutely amazing! OK so I am editing this three months after watching this video. I have a 30 year background in digital color management and professionally educating photographers. And I just learned something brand new, and applied it in my livestream studio. This is brilliant and I have never seen this solution presented. Yeah it is always about the simple setups to light younger perfect faces. OK studied your kitchen setup and it hit me that it was like a slice of melon, high at 45, and a big wrap around, almost like creating a clamshell out of striplights. Similar in a way to some television studios I have seen. That set me to thinking....
So this is what I did, I now have two: Glow EZ Lock 16x60 ARC Curved Strip Lights, zipped tied together at their ends, hung from my studio cage (two light stands would work just as well).
Which created a 6 foot wide curved wrap around strip of light. A melon slice of light, up at 45 degrees. Down close as I can get them without producing flare on glasses. Such a simple rig. This is flat revolutionary to my studio. A game changer. You would not believe how this lighting improves my own funny looking 67 year old face, it is a shocking difference. For clients, every time they sit in the chair for presentations or interviews with their normal human faces, flawless flattering light, no tuning, rock solid, every time. Anyone want a whole stack of different sizes of round soft boxes I'll most likely never fiddle with in the studio again?
Marcus you are a genuine master, the real deal. Thanks for digging deeper with your honest advice, than anyone else on RUclips.
That was *amazing*! The difference between thin-face Cara and moon-face Cara - it's like they were two different people. A great lesson for all of us wanna-be filmmakers. Thanks, Markus!
glad to be of service
Thank you Marcus. That was terrifically clear. I had been wondering how that look was achieved and you explained it brilliantly. As a 59 year old I need lights 🤣😂
I learn so much from your channel. You give so much to us who are in search of real knowledge. PS - I grew up in Sarasota so know Ringling School of Art. Good work and Kara is a gem being the model for your vids.
OMG I went back to Sarasota and its nothing like it was when I was there in 1980. I I used to eat at Wags restaurant at 2 am, its no longer there. The airport was tiny back then and when I raced my rotary engines at the racetrack, it was in the middle of nowhere. The school was still the ratty buildings from 1920 and we had fun flame throwing roaches with aerosol cans and a lighter. Oh the good ol days.
Cara, you were very brave and generous to model for this. The effect of different lighting is very clear to see and I was surprised by it. Thank you.
"Lighting is everything!" Spot ON!!!
Your lighting is beautiful
In my 50s, I always think about the lighting in my vids, really pumped on your channel, always something here. 👊🏻🎬
You and Cara are a great team.
Bro ( and lady)...your videos are fantastic! You get it...
Don't worry about the "old" thing, your forever young spirit shines through every time.
Shine on...
She is such a trooper for going along with all of this! Great personality to go with her pretty looks.
Wow, fascinating! Getting old. This is very informative. Investing in more lights.
My God! This is a full Lighting Masterclass... a gem for budding filmmakers like me... and I'm not even done yet!
I love Saturday mornings when that intro comes across the screen.
I needed this one, a light struggle no more.
Also, the beautiful Ms Cara, is simply beautiful even with less than optimal lighting. You're both beautiful inside and out, without question :)
Love you guys
Markus you've done it again. Kudos to you and your beautfiul wife for having the guts and humility to show us the real side of glamor photography and being willing to "bare it all" do help "enlighten" ('scuse the pun) the rest of us. THe two of you are PROS all the way.
Wow this lighting is so good I thought it was a clip from a tv talk show. Excellent.
Bro, You are a DIY Genius! 🤣 Anything and Everything you say makes complete sense and so tru. Love all your content. I'm subscribed for life. 💯
I appreciate that!
I know many will agree but you guys barely even look adults 😁 God Bless You Both for all the love and effort you guys put on your content 🙏
I'm shocked how good the abs look even with the soft lighting!
Thank you two for putting yourselves in sort of a vunerable position. I appreciate you guys so much more now.
Always learning something new from your videos.
Thank you
My goodness! Your sincerity and honesty in your videos bring tears to my eyes. You’re amazing!
Thank you so much 🤗
People in their 50s need more lighting from every side of their life. Thank you, Markus, for sharing your world of lighting with us and great thanks to Cara for modeling😊🌸🌞
Cara you still look so great in the crappy lightening!!! You know you are my favorite on RUclips. So humble! You have accomplished so much and you did it all as a single Mom.
Thanks! I'm almost 50, this is exactly what I was looking for
I love watching you guys just having fun like this.
Man, I'm getting addicted to your channel. It would be great if at some point we can collaborate on a video together.
OMG the body language in this video is ahhhhmazing! Love it! Big fan.
I wish my gf had this kind of patience/passion for my nerdy hobby as well haha.
Another great video Markus!
Holy lights! Great visuals that point out the differences.
She is just awsome! In any lighting conditions.
I tried one soft light at 45 degrees and a bounce, like every other youtube tutorial, and I also discovered age spots I didn't know I had, in addition to the wrinkles. I might take the footage with me to the dermatologist, but not sure I'll use it on YT. Thanks for this demo.
I learned alot about lighting from working on TV productions. Some of the best lighting techs examples are on those Barbara Walters specials. And you are so right about the SMILE enhancing the model!
Simply the best explanation on lighting I have ever watched. Thank you Markus!
Am listening to you from Asyl cam Düsseldorf Germany. I love your topics and techniques
My family lives near Juelich which is near Dusseldorf
@@MarkusPix wow Mr Markus when will i see you? I have been Sending you messages and have never recieve responds so i am happy today am chatting with the Legend of photo and videography. I am an African man 43years from Ghana and seek Asylum in Germany and i left my wife and 7children back home, i wish i can start my Photography again here after my Liver Transplantation but i dont have a Camera. I will also be happy to visit your Family as well
Thank you sir the light preparation and how to light
Hey your Sound is soooo good. Incredible good Audio here. This is amazing do you use a hidden Mic? Your Audio is amazing man wow.
Audio series coming soon! 😊
@@MarkusPix cant wait 👍👍🤙
This video is awesome, I was just filming myself for some how-to videos and realized I need to improve the lighting to make myself look younger. I'm 57 but most people take me for 40's, however then I'm looking like a 40 something year old that looks bad for his age (with lousy lighting). If I were just really old with wrinkles I could play up the wisdom and experience thing but not quite there yet, I'm in that awkward middle aged stage :)
Your honesty is confounding.
Markus, I love your channel. I think you and I are close in age and at this age I need to smile and need more flat lighting to look good in pictures these days lol. I'm going to photograph a 30th birthday portrait session for a woman in a couple of weeks and I want to capture video too because I'm going to create a reel for instagram with some behind the scenes clips. These video lighting tips are just what I needed. I agree about looking at catalogues. I love looking at my Land's End catalogue, they use professional models and professional photographers and you can tell. I'd call the style of model poses, lifestyle/editorial style. They send me catalogues all the time because I must be a great customer lol.
My weekly dose of Markus !!!
Amazing tutorial! The fact that u guys look as good as u do at your ages is amazing!
Thanks for sharing and being vulnerable 🤗
I DOUBLE that comment 😃
Wow such a cool video! Loved it! Plus Cara looks great!
This is terrific, and both of you are beautiful regardless of lighting. Nothing beats experience and wisdom; the rest is just a superficial façade.
Yeah! I learned more here today than the last five years on this topic. Thanks
THANKS AGAIN MARKUS!!! I have never seen a more informative video about lighting.
Glad it was helpful!
It’s amazing how with some of the different lighting you showed made Cara look like a completely different person at times. Thanks.
What honest and brave people you ARE 😀.
Unspoiled by being around
"Hollywood" -- just got the
GOOD STUFF 😁
Yes, I feel the same way. Watching these videos is a great education. Thanks! What a great sport the Mrs really is!
Loved to see Cara in this professional mode. Gorgeous somber or smiling. "Life is for the young!" Maybe NOT. You two be good to each other.
this is a great refresher course for any videographer who cares about controlling lights and their looks. Thanks.
I paused the video in the middle and had to write in the comment section to say. Thank you!!! I have been wondering about this for some time in the back of my mind.
Glad it was helpful!
Michelle Pfeifer says that lighting is her beauty secret. Mind you you have to look good with the lighting though. Lighting cannot change your appearance just enhance it. You guys are good looking even without good lighting. Thank you for this video. You two are amazing. I want to know if there isn't something Markus is not good at! :-)
Amazing tricks. I'm not sure I can fit all those lights in my home! It feels a little counter-intuitive (can't I just do all my stuff in candlelight? 😆) but obviously such a difference. Thanks!
What amazing couple!
Thank you for this wonderful lighting lesson!
Pace☮️
My God! Literally my God! This video, this channel, these people are literally true to life! Most, if not every photographer/videographer/cinematographer whether they are professionals, RUclipsrs, or hobbyist, always talk about gears and post process.
Nearly nobody talks about basic which really works.
Endless chase for better and "more better" gears, and they still feel or think their images suck. Rich people can do it. They can even afford to change or buy new camera bodies and lenses. Many of us cannot even have proper meals, let alone keep chasing for "better" stuff to oblivion.
Always start wrong and correct later. Just because they are shooting RAW. I do not think real photographers, cinematographers, nor videographers begin all sloppy and flippant simply because they have extremely high bit depth, colossal light sensor, hi-tech devices that allow images to be harshly post processed. Shoot first, correct later.
Thank you- yes! I talked about just that in this video ruclips.net/video/oZiW4PGURwk/видео.html
@MarkusPix Yes. I realised that after I watched many of your videos in marathon fashion as soon as this video of yours captivates me! I literally forced myself out of bed solely to write that and back to bed.
You really are a combination of old school AND new school. Old school because it is impossible for me to find how people in the old days do what they did. I always itch to know how they heck they actually did those lousy animations and effects. Very lousy but exceedingly realistic!
You know, it is like how acting in the old days are super stupid, bold, and direct, so bad to the degree that it is incredibly easy to watch and super enjoyable. Memorable, as you put it. Acting these days are all about 'weird' stuff because TikTok gurus say so. TikTok has become one of the worst influences of all things wrong. It is rather odd that people in the old days strived to have multiple colours and styles, however, people now somehow want to confine themselves to certain parametres such as MUST be in certain colours (the usual orange and teal), MUST have certain blurriness/bokah, MUST be in 24 fps, shutter speed MUST be doubled the number of fps (doomed if more, also doomed if less), and all other things which Internet University Ph.D (permanent head damage) says that an excellent film must have or must be.
Also, people in the old days are amazing in creativity. I have seen amazing artists in my lifetime, but you are another level. I mean, a real person like yourself on YouToob. And yes, you are right about soldier/army thing. A RUclipsr, Run N Gun, is/was a military photographer, his photography techniques and gears are just that - straightforward and practical. Audiophools and the likes of them would think he has military grade alien-tech Area 51 top secret gears that enable him to photograph beautiful moments.
Unless a person is dead, I never consider anyone a "legend". Legend is literally like the word "literally" being thrown about literally casually, literally, when they should be saying metaphorically or figuratively. Hahahaha!
I am not sorry for ranting, if it is a rant. It is a necessary rant. I am indirectly complimenting you!
This is seriously so helpful, for many reasons. It takes a lot of work to set these kinds of tests up to see what the differences are, and I appreciate you sharing this info, along with your personal insight and experience!
I just got into photography and I discovered this channel. I enjoyed the video and the exchange between Markus and the model. Cara looks great in any lighting situation. Thank you for this Great Video. I appreciate learning from a professional.
Excellent. Simple yet thorough.
... quirky, intelligent, authentic - thanks! ...
Great video. I was supposed to shoot an interview with two yoga instructors yesterday (one mid-50's, one mid-60's) and one couldn't make it so the shoot is postponed until next week when I will use much different lighting than I would have yesterday. Thanks!
I don't do video, but this was really helpful for my portraits! Thanks for thinking to share this.... and I loved how patient Cara was... thanks to her as well!
Amazing and thorough video. She looked fantastic regardless of lightning
