Thank you so much! A very structured video and I am looking forward to more of these!! Looking at the shadow on the background, would you consider adding a 4th light aimed onto the background?
You're most welcome. I actually liked the shadow which created something more interesting than a plain uniform seamless but if you wanted to eliminate it then you could certainly add a fourth soft light source.
Michael, I wanna give you one advice about lightning setups. I don’t know,maybe you heard already about it, but I will repeat. Do you know about Set A Light V2.5? I did my course about lightning setups there,so, maybe it will help you too). You are awesome
This would probably require planning ahead with a willing participant. I don't have specifics around what this session was if it was regular paid work, but I can't imagine they would oblige to a demo/teaching session whilst still paying a regular rate.
No disrespect intended. I am not even gonna watch this. I can not believe the degree we have gone to to create a plastic, nonhuman appearance. I have had to back way off. Most of my clients don't want to look like that and some are even offended when I present them with something that sand-blasted. Just saying. Please, please, continue....
Michael's work is nothing similar to " Plastic" skin retouch. I understand what you are saying and I am also not a fan of "plastic look". However the technique he is using on his works doesn't smudge the skin texture at all. ( as you can see on his works) It still depends on what kind of image you are looking for of course, but for this particular beauty shot, I believe that Michael is completely on the spot and managed to nail the image to how it is supposed to be. Don't get me wrong, I know where you are coming from since nowadays there are so many false " beauty " skin retouch tutorial on RUclips. But in my opinion Michael's channel is one of the few great channels that provides serious tutorials from real professional perspective.

Thank you for these videos. You're a genius. I love your work.
Thank you for this nice resourceful video. I have only one question: is the main light/flash bare? No modifiers?
Not entirely bare. It’s got a small open reflector on it.
Thank you so much for sharing :)
really helpful again Michael, thanks
Thanks for watching, cheers

Excellent!
The best! Thanks!
Why don't you vlog in the studio at the time of the photoshoot. That will help a lot to understand the positioning of the light setup!
it's a ton more work
If I have time in the future I will, but I usually don't - plus in this case I can't go back in time :)

Great video... I would like to see the shot with @tilliemedland, which you posted on Feb 2, 2016 and @kennidyhunter on Nov 10, 2016.
Thanks Bernie, you're talking about FB or Insta? Cheers

Plastic? Right, look at the retouch, nothing plastic about it.
