Nice to see and hear a guy that is knowledgeable of what his light is doing when shooting a live model! Nicely done!
I have been using the Forza 500 for the last 4 years and have not used flash since. Unless you need people jumping or very fast movement, Flash is dead. And since video and reels are hot now you can use the same light to film videos too.
Depending on the circumstances, I prefer LED light especially because switching between video and stills is a must (for using LED lights) on those occasions. With LED flash option getting better (more powerful + no recycle time) GREAT that's the future. Obviously you know that.😀
Thanks so much for sharing!!
Hello from Tampa! Thanks for another great video tutorial. Be well and stay encouraged.
Hope the storm wasn't too bad! We have had a lot of rain and wind here in Orlando but we survived. Thanks for watching!
@@MiguelQuilesJr Glad all is well in Orlando, nothing but wind and rain here in Tampa. When's the next meet and greet for your channel followers? Wouldn't mind driving to Orlando.
Sweet!! This would be also great for video. I notice the picture is much better on your camera. Thanks for the video.
Great video - thanks
Thanks for watching!
I’m doing a studio shoot this Saturday with Gold Leaf. Might try this with my Aperture 200d instead of my FJ400’s. Just to see if I like that.
Great video Miguel. I was wondering about your use of f8 on such a close and tight studio shoot. I may come from old school where we did not want the background to be in focus but act as a "separator" point for the model, but I notice that you like to have the background in focus. No question that it is how each photographer wants to portray their pictures, but just wondering what you have in mind. Old School does not mean being inflexible, it just means different, and good photographers who have some age on them should be willing to learn something new every day to stay current.
Thank you, and great question! I personally like shooting stopped down for my studio work so that you can see the texture of everything throughout the image. Its just my personal opinion, but shooting everything shallow is the look that every beginner gets when they buy their first f/1.4 lens. I've found that one of the easiest ways to set my work apart is to do the opposite of that. As a matter of fact, if you look in any high end fashion publications (Vogue, Harpers Bazaar, etc) you'll see that there are more stopped down images than shots created wide open. I might make a video about this in the future, it's an interesting discussion.
Hi there from Waterloo Canada Great video but I still feel as a photographer that does fashion Photography that having a 400 W strobe gives the photo a nice pop to the Photo and lights up their eyes and face real soft and smooth gives it a nice feel do it.....
Miguel, amazing work man. How do manage multiple shadows in this situation since you're using the same lighting for both audio and vid?
Thank you, and good question! It comes down to where you place your lights and having them at the right power. When you soften the light with various modifiers it also keeps the shadows under control.
Thanks again
U sing such a thin diffusion on that 300b means that while you are getting a soft source from the diff, you're also getting pretty hard light at the same time. This is evidenced by the hard shadow you can see behind the model. The same is somewhat true for the softbox, which also has a very thin diffusion and no inner baffle installed. Yes you are getting output, but if the goal is soft light, devoid of sharp shadows, then that's not really what you're getting.
I call it SHARD light 😂
You really don't need that powerful of a light for this. I do this all the time with 120W LEDs and just shoot at ISO 800. With good light and a modern camera you would never be able to tell its a higher ISO. The benefit of doing it this way is also you can use lower powered color LED lights as an accent and get better color saturation because they aren't being blown out by a full power 800W light.
Doesn't constant bright light shone on your model hurt her eyes.
Good question. She didn't say anything about it and as you can see in the video she wasn't squinting. If you look directly at it, it'll hurt just as much as if you looked directly at a flash going off. 📸
I don't get it.. The end photos just don't seem good.
👍
