Yeah, I'm with you on the lighting... when I do a vid on a camera or lens the views are 4 or 5 times as much than a lighting video but the lighting will help the photographer 10x more. Thanks for watching!
the information in this video is invaluable. def saving and will reference it myself in future as well as suggest/share with peers. *idea* could you do a piece of content that would show a portrait/sample and then go through the image referencing where each light hits? im a visual learner, i love the way you break down topics. thanks so much for this!
Great job, again, Hayward! I watched the vid this morning and wasn’t able to comment and so doing it tonight. I appreciate all the direction regarding lighting as I know little, but if one wanted to do (for now) just still life or product photography, which of these lights would be “the one.” I mean, I’m sure that the trigger and reflectors would be important, but which of the lights would be the one that one would need for the aforementioned genres?
You have to have a good key light that puts out enough quantity of light. The quantity is important because the modifiers eat stops of light and you need good modifiers. Something in the 400ws range like the light I talked about in the video would be the minimum to be able begin a studio setup in my opinion. Thanks for watching!
@@CoffeeandPhotographyTalk Thanks for the reply, but which lights in particular do you mean, or is it a matter of getting each of them and using them together?
@@lifesbeautiful3024 Not sure I'm 100% following but if you are asking which to choose to buy first between the studio strobe or the AD200, it would depend on whether the AD200 put out enough light to be your MAIN light. For in-studio work of any kind, I think 200ws is a little light on power for your main light, so I'd recommend something with at least 400ws like the Flashpoint unit I demonstrated. In either case, you will need a trigger on your camera to fire it. Hope that answered your question.
Tripod is a difficult area to save money on. As you’ve found out, if they aren’t sturdy, they’re useless. I use a manfrotto. Check the links under the video, the one I use should be there. Thanks for watching!
Hello, i take photos of watches as stock photos for my website. whats the best lighting set up you would suggest. my Camera is a Sony A7RIV and the lens is a SOny macro f2.8 90m. im struggling with lighting at the moment. Thank you, Dmitri
You have to decide if you want constant lights or flash and thats a personal preference and your own dedication to lighting. Flash comes easy to me since I've done it so long, but constant lights allow you to 'see' the lighting and is easier to learn, BUT will probably require higher ISO settings unless you pay for more expensive lights.
Thank you so much ! ill definitely be going with the continuous option i dont mind paying for more expensive options as i can claim it as a business expense, can you recommend any brands and strength types, as well what attachments to put on them. thank you once again @@CoffeeandPhotographyTalk
I know lighting isn't sexy to most people, but this is probably the most underrated video you've done.

Subscribed!! I just got the keys to my first ever studio!! It’ll be a photography and art studio! Thank you for your video

Ok, thanks for the input and for watching!
I loved the description, thanks a lot
I use a Pringles can with the bottom cut off as a snoot for a speed light. I can even tape gels to it or the speed light.
Old school! Thanks for watching!

@@CoffeeandPhotographyTalk It did. Thank you my friend.
What kind of tripod do you recommend, that’s not super expensive? I have one but the camera is too heavy for the head. Camera just keeps falling down.

I just realized this video doesn't have that link, try the comments in this one: ruclips.net/video/QenhL5Kjpew/видео.html

@dmitrinekrasov9417 I have some manufactures who are sending me some gear to test soon that I will be doing testing videos on!
Is this Christopher Walken's long lost brother??!!
Nope! 🤣
@@CoffeeandPhotographyTalk OMG you could totally do a wicked Walken impression if you tried! You already have the intonations and tone. It's wild lol.
