Glad you're able to do a Christmas theme on Adorama Event on December 10th. Great work as always. Will check out early videos you did. Take care and Happy holidays.
This was clear & easy to follow, even for a beginner like me. The models, expressions and editing blend so well together! I don't have the same gear of course but there's always some way I can adapt what you teach to my own work.
Thank you Lindsay, you said at the start that because of the strong shadow you were not so concerned when shooting at f8, but f8 is what has provided the really charming feature of the eyelashes against the background glow. At 2.8 they would have been soft. This is an outstanding tutorial and it will make a difference to how I shoot. 5 Gold stars!!
Great video, thx! :-) I'm falling in love with hard light recently (the spring sun was soooo perfect for this with the lower angle!), love to experiment with it. And you gave me a lot inspiration with your work, thank you! Would love to see a good bts video with a hard light fashion line shoot..:-))
0:25 a start of a rap song by L.Adler "Hard light, black and white vintage photos... " you are a natural :) Absolutely loved this deconstruction, the more I watch your videos the more I want to be a part of your workshop :)
05:27 onwards: “Everything is clean and on purpose”. That’s a Lindsay Adler trademark. Clean. Controlled. A place for everything and everything in its place. Very organised. Proper preparation is what leads to those clean results 👍🏼
Loving it, thank you !! Maby you can add the exact steps you do in photoshop...I see some liquify there, her face turned into another person :) , her chin is longer etc But art like U are amazing!!
thank you soooo sooo much for sharing your knowledge and your beautifuuuuul work with us. this is sooo helpful 😍😍. I am a total beginner and this kind of videos are perfect to learn. Again, I am very grateful 😋😋😘😘😘😘😘 thank you!!!
Actually if you scroll back in my instagram feed aways you'll see this done with darker skin. Basically I add a grid to the background for a lot of separation, and I just know the skin will be a little more 'specular' aka shiny. Totally works though just in a different way. lower key result.
The shadow on the bridge of her nose really makes me unease. Being a high contrast photo from my point of view I would have retouch it. Just my humble opinion.Nice work!
Be nice if you explained what a V-flat was and it also wasn't clear why you showed the background light behind thr VFlat? Does it shine through the v-flat? Why was it facing away from the subject in the behjnd the scenes photo? Did you have it behind the subject and thrn reflectibg off rhe v-flat? It was hard to understsnd the lighting setup as you didn't have a proper lightibg diagram! Also, why did you use cinefoil, rather than say a black oiece of card. Would they produce the same effect or no?
Hi there, you can check my many RUclips videos that cover V-flats or any of my premium content for in-depth diagrams and bts. For this, I used cinefoil because it has a sharper edge, but thing card board (as long as it was dark and not reflective) would also do the trick. The light behind the V-flat would also allow me to prevent any accidental spill on the subject OR just the v-Flat to flag the light (block) when I want a more defined shadow edge on the background.
Why waste time in post when you can walk into session with clear goals and mind? Never understood this reliance on post and sloppy work approach while on set.
I like your videos, i really do but just sometimes i think 'that could have been sorted out at the shoot, light corner area, earrings and ponytail". Sometimes there's too much emphasis on 'putting it right in Photoshop'. To take more care at the shooting stage is what surely should be being taught. You actually say something like this in the video and then go and correct all sorts of things. Its a shame. We need to be looking at images by Karsh and the likes to see near perfection in camera. just saying. Interesting to see how it also takes 5 people on set.
I actually don't think that is fair. An artist can use any tools available to them-- its always about the end results. I just choose to share my process with you to HELP people. I got it close in camera and changed my mind about the bun... so I was able to remove it. The result is what counts, no?

lol. xo
Fantastic. This helps so much . Thank you (:
great shot!
I love these videos, thanks for sharing!
xo you are so welcome!
Very interesting. Thank you.
Very nice. But it doesn't work so well this individuals with very dark skin. How would you shoot the exact same photo with a black person?
Actually if you scroll back in my instagram feed aways you'll see this done with darker skin. Basically I add a grid to the background for a lot of separation, and I just know the skin will be a little more 'specular' aka shiny. Totally works though just in a different way. lower key result.
@@lindsayadlerphoto Thank you for responding back, it's greatly appreciated.
Hey Lindsay! What did you do in photoshop to elongate her neck?
Thank You!
good stuff
The shadow on the bridge of her nose really makes me unease. Being a high contrast photo from my point of view I would have retouch it. Just my humble opinion.Nice work!
The shadows is the whole point of the image
Se agradece!
Love it!:))

How do you get the silky effect of the skin?
@linseyadler shooting barebulb gave me way too much light on the subject. I shoot with a Flashpoint 600B the power was at 1/128 power.
Trying shooting lowest ISO possible and move your light further away. Further away will solve the problem. If not, add ND filter/gel.
@@lindsayadlerphoto wow...I cant believe you replied. Thank you so much. So amazing

this photo would look good in sepia, also.
