interesting, thank you. although taking a headshot of a model looking into a light didn't really illustrate the struggle of lighting a portrait (lets say at least half body) in a small space.
Always interesting to learn. I will say that it would have been better if the model did the same pose each time instead of moving his head in different directions. That way we can compare apples to apples
Great video. I am guessing the 100s is a medium format camera, so the conversation lf focal lengths to 35mm would increase not decrease the equivalency? I.e. a 55mm on medium format is possibly 70mm and not 40mm?
I think if the subject was very close to the modifier, or the modifier was very large then the grid would have to make the light softer, because the angle from the furthest part of the modifier would be greater and so the grid would block that light and effectively make the glowing surface smaller. Maybe that rarely happens in practice.
@@memcrew1 Why not? If you look at a grid from very close you'll see it makes the effective part of the light smaller, as it blocks light coming from the edges as that would require an extreme angle. And a smaller light is a harder light.
@@memcrew1 You said that but you're not giving any substantial evidence for it or explanation of it or engaging with my argument that it must make the light harder in some circumstances.
@@barneylaurance1865 I don’t have to give you anything. There are plenty of ppl in the business who have explained this, even the guy in this video said the same.
One of the top instructors like Gavin, Lindsay, and Daniel. Great for startup or show.

Thanks for the tips. Shall do some grayscale photos also during the fall.
Chris Knight the king , thank you Adorama :)
💙💙💙
Love watching Chris in action,he is amazing !!!!!
Chris sounds like Kenny Florian.
Profoto not firing! 😮
Fantastic video. Really useful 👌🏼👍🏼👍🏼
wonderful presentation! Always enjoy Chris’s teaching style & lighting.
master in his job. Great examples step by step. Nice job!
This was great and very informative. Chris is an amazing teacher and photographer
very helpful and hope you do more complicated lighting.
I've not seen Chris before and really enjoyed watching how he used so many lights in that restricted space and created such great images.
Studio lighting is my favorite thing to play around
Seth, Gavin, and Daniel are my go to people with portraits but Chris is right up there with them. Love every demo this guy does.
Agreed, what a list 🙌 🙌 🙌
who are Seth, Gavin (Hoey?) and Danile? thanks!

Glad this pop up again. Doing research on men photography.
Never seen one of those Avenger D570 grip arms w swivel before..now I want one!!
I'm four months late...Chris Knight!!! Love this!
I might have missed that info but that is his lens? The depth it gives is quite nice!
This was excellent
Thank you for joining us! Chris is awesome 😊
Love what was explained at 11:00. Makes so much sense

@glassosiris - MF goes down in mm fov, crop sensor gives more mm fov … mf 55mm will equal 44mm fov in FF
This was dope, definitely saving this
Were you once a sales person in Donaldsons in Sayville NY?
now THAT
is a portrait model. wow lol
Pro demo. Excellent work from the model as well.
Excellent as always, from Chris. Such a master of light.
First time I saw a profoto light failing
He’s a good model

Grids don’t affect the hardness or softness of a light.

And a smaller light is a harder light.
