Always good to see the Adora-ble team at work - Daniel - Marisa - Seth. At the other side of the big pond, Gavin ran a video in which he demonstrated differences in light distribution depending on where the light source is, in the modifier, AND the stray light in his studio that may be the normal size for a beginning EUropean photographer. Here, NYC, the diffusion panel is much like a shoot through umbrella in that sense, causing stray light, but without the problems that became visible in Gavin's demonstration that illustrates how facets in the umbrella cause a varying lighting pattern. There's a lot more superficially "nerdy" to be tested for beginning photographers, and to consider in deciding what modifiers to buy - than in this single video. In this video, rather than the diffusion panel, I would have used one of my 4'*6' softboxes. Why? Because this prevents stray light and gives me precise control. If I want stray light, I'll throw in a speedlight that bounces off a large area of white ceiling. One thing that needs "testing" is the actual light circle or pattern that a modifier projects on a surface. At, say, between 2m and 7'. You'd be surprised to see how similar they all are, irrespective of shape. The size however of the light source relative to the subject and distance makes a difference indeed.
Daniel, one of my friends has a company and he'd like me to take some corporate shots of him and his co-workers... No drama shots. On this video I like how the octa was lighting the background at the same time it lit Marisa. I have two octas, a 36in and a 44in. No other lights. Any advice on the "best" way to place them (height and placement) to have the most evenly lit background while they are the key and fill light ? My background is grey and I need an evenly lit grey bg, the pics are for the company's website. Thanks a lot !

Great demo! Thanks Seth, Marissa, and Daniel. Excellent.
Thank you for the DETAILED DEMONSTRATION of the types of modifiers used in this shoot. It's very helpful
i’m going with white umbrellas. i love the contrast it gives to my subjects’ face, made me think it’s from nat geo magazines
my go to for portraits indoor is a 42 inch softbox with an optional hairlight with grille and reflector.
The camera pictures look great. Love Nikon, Canon, and Sony cameras.
Wat about canon cameras
Hi Daniel🎉
Mrs Roper what a model

I’d love to see you use large shoot through umbrellas rather than the silk. Seems like way more trouble than it’s worth.
I love how Daniel for years thinks stuff will be edited in post and it never is
