We try to show you all the BTS of what's going on, thanks for sharing your thoughts with us! It really helps us to know what helps our subscribers to learn :)
" How the light see" or "How the reflector see" great concept, !! Also what mood you want using specific reflector , very well explained . I have now a clear idea what I need, thank you.
Very good and well articulated video. I like how you talk about what the softbox "sees." A good way to put it. More, and more understandable, in seven minutes that a lot of guys do in triple that time.
Once again, I'm most great full for your off camera lighting videos. You truly help me build a foundation of what it takes to understand how to light my subject.
Thank you not only for making this video but making a whole series of Laws of light. I was about to purchase Amazon lighting/studio setup for my product/portrait photography setup but I think I should watch this whole series before I spend anything on anything. P.S. You are an amazing teacher and after watching this clip just once I can teach all that to anyone. Thanks once again.
I can’t help but laugh 🤣 I’m actually waiting for her to literally fall asleep and fall forward. Omg I’m sorry lol. I love your videos, JP. I learn a lot
And yet so many girls want to be models, that's because they don't see what models do only the final results. A tleast she didn't have to stand there in her bra and underwear like we used to have to do at fittings for high fashion shows.
What a timely upload! I'm about to do my second studio job this weekend (first one was disastrous). This is exactly the info I need. Thanks for your work, Jay!
Purchased a softbox and haven't used this much. Doing a mini photoshoot with a friend's baby tomorrow and this video helped me tremendously! Saving this video for future reference!
This is hands down the best video Ive ever seen on the subject of using a softbox. Thank you for having made this easy to understand and very informative video that is very helpful to me.
Thanks for this video. There are way to many videos of people just talking about soft box lighting. I don’t really understand how that helps anyone lol. Nice to actually see the effect of it.
Brilliant video. Thank you. I just got my first Umbrella/softbox. I took pics of my family going for a Rembrandt look. Worked ok but my subjects were not very willing models.
Thanks for this, it answered the exact thing I needed. Was trying to figure out the best softbox to evenly light a wall from about 2-3m away. But at that distance it seems no to matter that much.
now was that so difficult? Great video - I have been waiting for this information in video for years (from all sources) should have known you had it all along.
Great! We are glad that you learned a lot from this lesson, check out our laws of light series to get the full course: ruclips.net/video/6GJ4P1T7OHI/видео.html

I am always getting harsh hotspots on model face Using 120 cm octa Far or close Using Godox v1 With grid or without always hotspots on forehead and nose
You mentioned in the video that a large softbox gives more wrap into the shadow side of the face, my question is, is the amount of wrap affected if you add a grid? Great video, thanks sharing. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
@@TheSlantedLens also just wondering if you could help me. I'm preparing a better gear for my youtube videos with a better camera, mic and a light + Softbox. The idea is to have a softbox on a 45" angle to the camera to give me a nice light in one side and shadow in the other. I want to use the grid to minimize light from going to the background as I will have different lights there. I'm only being able to find round softboxes from 80cm and up. I'm recording in a very small space in my bedroom, so the softbox will be close to me as I don't have much room. In this case, do you think a 80cm round softbox is too big or in a good size? I can't get a smaller one, it has to be 80cm or over. Will this work fine to me? Thanks a lot.
Interesting concepts. For me, I prefer contrast. A big mod is great for things. Base exposure. Then a tight contrasty light on the impact/model, to make them stand out. Soft light is wonderful but it makes the model/impact blend in. I want the model/impact to stand out.
Thank you very much! ! Very useful, professionaly deliverd to the audience as usual with your lessons, thank you Master! P.s. Tennis balls at the end of tripods! 😎🥳 P.s. beautiful girl🥰

I am always getting harsh hotspots on model face
Using 120 cm octa
Far or close

With grid or without always hotspots on forehead and nose
Have you tried using translucent powder on the person's face to keep the shine down?
Nicely done, very informative.
