  • If you want to improve your toy photography, learning lighting skills is the best way to do it.
    In this video, I'll introduce you to the 4 characteristics of light -- quality, quantity, color temperature and direction -- which you'll use in deciding what kind of lights you'll need for your setups.
    This is the first in my series of videos on lighting, and my ultimate goal here is to take you to creative lighting with flash.

    Thanks! I'll be checking out more of your series here, and you've gained a subscriber. Got into Lego stop motion over a year and a half ago,
    and am looking for ways to improve my lighting of my subjects. I also recently bought a light box setup, which only has overhead lights, but
    they can be changed from cold to warm and dimmed, as needed.

    Great video as always. Unless there is much post editing going on, I would also like to watch a tutorial about how to capture shafts of light through the tiny windows. That particular effect just takes the picture on another level.

    I have been looking for this type of video for weeks now lol. I just started in toy photography 2 months ago. My biggest issue is lighting. How to use it and how much to use. I was referred to this series by a fellow photographer on toyphotography.com. So glad he did. Really looking forward to watching the rest of you series.

      @@FourBricksTall I'm a Toy Collector from India! But I don't have any such professional equipments for lighting. May be you can do a video on household items that can be used for lighting.

      @@IndianToyCollector You can use a flashlight as I showed in this video or whatever light source you have. There are more limitations to them than a flash or a video light that are designed for use with cameras, so you just need to bear in mind that household items likely won't have the brightness or features of these lights. The characteristics of light apply to all light ;)

    • @FourBricksTall
      @FourBricksTall  4 года назад

      Thank you! I would hold off on buying LED panels because by the end of this series, you'll see how much more versatile flash is. An LED vs flash video is on the list 😉
