I like the (Classic) photo shoot. Kudos to the hard work of the photographer, stylist, and of course the model for her hard work. I want to thank Lindsay for giving back to the community also.
I think my absolute favorite part of this decon is you walking through the CULLING. One of the most tedious, difficult parts of a shoot that can make one feel like an imposter is getting the posing and framing absolutely just right. In the case of some subjects it can take HOURS and tons of experimenting to just get a select few good shots. It gets tedious for a subject but also makes one start to feel the imposter syndrome of not knowing what you're doing. Seeing someone as incredible as you going back through the very extensive process it took to get the shot is so inspiring in that it's never the easiest thing in the world - for anyone!
Thank you so much for the kind words! It's definitely an important process to go through your selects carefully. It's not always the most glamorous part of the job but it's one of the most necessary! :)
hey Lindsay, just wanted to tell you, your work really inspire me, I'm a broke ass Makeup artist form Brazil, don't have a camera or the studio lights, or the fancy backgrounds LOL I shoot with my smartphone, a ringlight, and a diy softbox + some fabric taped to the wall, and I really, really, need to thank you, so many tips and tricks you share really help me out a lot!. Please keep being this awesome, if you don't know you are helping so many people throught your videos! because people like you, I discovered I love photography and realized I don't need all the expesive gear (of course it helps), what I need is the knowledge and the artistry! thank you again!
What a wonderful message-- I am so glad I've been able to help. And yes, sometimes I use a lot of gear and other times I use hardly any at all. Wishing you the very best!
amazing in deep analysis of various aspects why this model is such a great match to your vision for the old-style Hollywood photo. On top of all the great details I think it also shows how immensely supportive you are to push the personality of the subject to the its best! Which might be the ultimate ingredient for the extraordinary photo you and your model friend created!
Lindsay once again packs a ton of information into a short video and somehow makes it easy to follow and retain - even for a relative noob such as myself. 10/10!
Ever since your visit and lecture in Israel, I closely follow you, truly enjoying your artistic view, professional tutorials and pleasant character... Thank you Lindsay!
I genuinely appreciate you including the things you "didn't like". I didn't even consider shooting tethered so you could actually see what's happening in near real-time and make adjustments.
I learned a lot from this. Didn’t know you waited years to create this masterpiece. I think it’s safe to say, you’ve successfully conjured the essence of Old Hollywood (Circa the Roaring 20’s). Job well done ✨
Thank you for sharing. Always learn something from your videos. I would love to see how this sort of portrait would have been done back in the day. I know when I want that classic little slit of light across the eyes I will sometimes use a cookie or flags but every now and then I like to use a narrow mirror I got from a piece of wall tile and reflect the light back onto the model. Gives nice crisp lines.
@@lindsayadlerphoto mirrors have a lot of creative uses. I'm still wanting to try that kaleidoscope trick you shared a while back. I have even set up mirrors in the studio to bounce the natural light into a v-flat to soften it and direct it where I want it to go. The great thing about mirrors is how directional they are and it's a very hard light.
@@lindsayadlerphoto gafters tape on it to create a pattern and then reflect that onto your subject or background. The mirror I have I cemented a connector to the back so that it can go on to a magic arm. Did the same with a prism and it works great.
ah the joys of digital...as opposed to an ole 8 x 10 camera, and sheet film of asa 4, and thoose ole hot lamps and fresnel lenses :). Great work Lindsay
Incredible work and videos!!!!❤ I started to know you via RUclips videos just a few days ago and can't stop to watch all of them. Huge information and inspiration from you Lindsay 🙌 I never work yet with all this light systems, but already feel me much stronger 🙏. THANKS A LOT FOR YOUR ART WORK
Super stuff! As a vintage hollywood fan Im getting ready to work through your new Hollywood Recipe guide. I noticed your camera setting of 400 ISO. As a speedliight guy I tend to be at 200-400 ISO to put less strain and drain on my lights and even on my old 700D crop sensor the images are nice and crisp and fairly low noise. Im wondering if there is some unexpected benefit Im not aware of for using your more modern noise free camera at ISO 400 even with your powerful strobes - why not 100 ISO? Kind regards John London UK
Sure! Same as you for the most part. Honestly some modifiers (like optical spot, grids) have to be somewhat high output of strobe required and I dont like to max out the strobe for heat purposes. Other than that, I just think the 400 is clean enough, so why not save the strobes from always having to be high output!
I really want to buy your course and I will, but I will have to control my anxiety. For us in Brazil, the value is like 2 times a basic salary (due to the dollar conversion). It will be worth it, I'll keep an eye on the promotions ehehe.

@Lindsay Adler Photography cool, but my target is the "master studio lighting" class. Unfortunately, this one doesn't appear with a discount.😓 When it's meant to be, it will be.
@Lindsay Adler Photography Thank you for letting me know about this detail. Now, it will be a priority in the next investment in my studies. I think 2 months without beers I'll be able to get this on. Maybe a month will be enough. 😌 Thanks for the feedback.
HI! I have a question... how many photos do u pick from the photoshoot? how many photos do u usually take? Is something that I always wonder. Cos when i do a photoshoot with promps and stuff i usually only get 2 or 3. I LOVE i mean I LOVEEE!!! your work and how u teach ive learnt a lot from u. Thanx for sharing
For each different look I shoot between 150-300 photos (depending on if its moving, lots of poses, etc). From there I do an initial pass probably of about 10% 'winners' and then pick 2-3 final shots from there.
I don't have updated classes on post processing at this time. I have some older stuff ut the techniques are probably not as updated. I focus on lighting, styling etc and usually show my RAW processing and explain how the final image was achieved so showing the actual skin cleanup and Photoshopping is inconsequential. I'd recommend checking out educators who just focus on retouching then combine the techniques. :)
Too many lights. Old Hollywood look (especially Hurrell) was done with no more than 2 lights, sometimes one. How do you think he got all those shadows?
If you want to see some actual Old Hollywood emulation, I have a guide that does that. THIS was simply in the loose style of. And they used a variety of lights and you can even find many bts with more lights depending on the time period in their career. But yes, this was loosely inspired not an emulation.
@@lindsayadlerphoto ok, I deserved that ;) however, in my defense, I arrived on your video from an email from Profoto touting it as “Master Old Hollywood lighting techniques…” and I am a big fan of Hollywood fresnel hot lights and studio photography of that era.

Good lens choice. My go to lens for about 95% of my work is the Nikkor 24-120 mm f4.
This is gorgeous! I would so love to shoot with L.A. xoxoxo
Amazing!!!!
Thanks so much!
Thank you so much for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
🔥🔥🔥🔥 great photo and breakdown!
Thanks so much!
Hello from Montana, sister! I just finished a big project. How are you?! Nice breakdown!
I think the hand is brighter because of the angle towards the light. The hand angle towards the light is 'noon', the angle of the face is 6pm or later
amazing!
Thanks!

Great work as always, Lindsay! I can see you did shot it most in vertical and tight. How do you deal with Instagram 4x5 format when you post it?

It's not, no.

Did you use the Profoto D2?
yep!
Gear is listed in the description too. 😉
could you please tell me which modifiers should i buy for profoto b10 to get hard light ?

what is idea behind the overexposeing skin hiding skin texture 🤔
It's a preference and most vintage photos had this look and feel.

@@jackbarron8880 👉 lindsayadler.photo/oldhollywood -- also there's no such thing as too many lights! 😝
First😋
Why are the subtitles only available in Hindi?
It's not something I did, maybe your RUclips settings?
That is not even close to old Hollywood “George Hurrell” style lighting. It honestly makes it look more like ruPaul dress-up lighting.
"Inspired by". I didn't say it was. I'm not trying to emulate. Also, thanks for trolling. ;)
