Beautiful Photographs in Your WebSite !!!! Very Unselfish to tell Your Way of doing things !!!!!! There will be haters (but many of them are not able to do quality work) ..... Thank You
You mentioned once about Dylan Patrick that you have been inspired by, but you have also perfected this art if not more than him. I have followed your many tutorials and many of them are really good! I have learned quite a few things from you. Thanks for sharing!
I'm also still using SB-800s for individual headshots. I actually find that the Nikon onboard optical triggering system (Nikon CLS) works extremely well - either in TTL or manual mode. No need to monky with RF, unless you tend to shoot through walls or around corners. When it comes to larger groups or a series of many sitters - I still prefer using strobes. Things have changed and you don't need to spend $2000 for a Profoto B1. Godox and others are making awesome and inexpensive lights with lithium batteries, TTL, HSS, lots of power.
Thanks Rafel for the gear information! I always use Speedlights when I am out of studio. So much easier, lighter than studio strobes. I use Paul Buff Einstiens in studio, but on location>>>I with you on the Speedlights!
Have you try another light modifier than the small deep octa in the kiker light? Could be possible to use a different modifyer And Get a similar effekt? Thanks from Norway.
Yes I have used different ones ....each modifier gives You a different look so its important to pick the one which works best for your look...I found over the years that octa works best for the look I am going for.... the best way is just test them... I know photographers use different soft boxes so depends what You like.
You mentioned you have no studio (is that still true?). Do you have a basic on location gear kit? What's included in that kit? I find I try to create one that is a compromise of between space and weight and necessary gear.
At @5:09 you say you pay 40 bucks for each swivel adapter. These are actually a Godox (AKA "Sacred Cow" 神牛) product, which is known as an S-type Bowens mount adapter, and they are available on Amazon for around US$18 each.
Hello Rafael, I found your channel and I want to give you many congratulations because you share very good advices. But please talk with the music off, because is very irritating and take the attention off. Once more keep giving us your advices and experience. 5 star from Portugal.
Rafal, I dont mind the music. I like it. If Alexandre gets mad about your music with your free advice he can go to another channel. thank you! keep the good work!
Agreed. Why is it that everyone on RUclips seems to think they need music behind their dialog? At least Rafael has the audio level set low unlike some RUclips videos where you almost can't hear what the person is saying.
Wow... talk about rambling. Ive watched have the video thats supoose to be about lighting set up and for the first 10 minutes your yapping about the sb910 and sb900.
Is that a lighting setup just talking about a high speed sync trigger and a small octa and a big octa..Sorry but this channel spend hours of talking and the useful information is very little.It should be the opposite ..Watched many videos all the same you wait all the time to hear something useful .
John Bamouk I deeply believe that all the information I share is very useful .... depends what you are looking for.... taking good photos it's not only a good camera and lighting system... I am sorry if you don't feel the same way....

Cool stuff

Why do you use a trigger and not the Nikon ir system?
Thank you for the video! I'd love to know how you get your clients to POP off the image. Your photos almost look 3D which is incredible!
Thank you, sangat menginspirasi regards from Indonesia

how do you hold the reflector so that it stands straight up?

Interesting video...I'm interested in your comments about profoto A1
What camera settings do you use?
Rafal, did you use the Lastolite EZbox at one time or am I thinking of someone else?
I have never use that...must be some one else.

Thank You..didnt know that... I bought them in local store.

No problem...next vlogs will be without music ...Sending You warm regards from Canada!
Hi again Rafal, thanks. You are Top.
Rafal, I dont mind the music. I like it. If Alexandre gets mad about your music with your free advice he can go to another channel. thank you! keep the good work!

This video should be called the gear i use, and not lighting setup. You dont even mention setup
He has mentioned the setup: background, kicker and main. Adjust distances, angles and power as needed.
Wow... talk about rambling. Ive watched have the video thats supoose to be about lighting set up and for the first 10 minutes your yapping about the sb910 and sb900.

I enjoy your talking and i admire your work. Keep sharing.
Godox may be better, more control and more power.
