I only have one constant light... SL60... This just gave me something to work with cos I don't have budget for multiple lights yet. This is brilliant. Practical and straightforward.
@@EmilyTeague I literally just got into this a few weeks ago, friend pushed for the Godox, and I didn't like my first attempt at shooting with it. Just didn't know enough. This kinda thing really gets me excited to go at it again with more knowledge about my options. Thanks for being so clear.
I've only ever shot natural light and outdoors. I'm shooting with constant lights to dip my toes into controlled lighting. This was super helpful thank you!
Great video Ms. Teague! I love flash but I am just starting to use constant lights in my portrait work and I really like them. Please keep the great videos coming!
Lovely work. For the reflector in the clam shell lighting, rather than have apple boxes supporting it, some folks put the reflector across the arm. One end is A-clamped to the arm and the other end in the knuckle. It allows more flexibility in positioning as well.
with my constant light, I've started to migrate away from softboxes and more toward panel lights and scrims. Not only do I feel they pack down a lot easier, but I like that they provide a much larger, potentially softer, source even though the catch light doesn't have the same qualities.
The PavoTubes are awesome - lightsabers!!! …the FS150 looks like an awesome light at a pretty decent price… now I’m wondering about a constant light set up over a strobe 🤔
Thank you, Emily. Always love watching your thought process played out for us to see. Did Laura have any complaints about the constant lighting? I know it is a little more powerful compared to the modeling light from a studio strobe.
@@EmilyTeague this is true, but I like the possibilities the longer ones offer, particularly as practicals like you did in the elevator. I'll just have to save up for them!
I must admit that I have more constant lights than flashlights/strobes (one...), but one of the reasons is that I want to make videos as well - living portraits are one option, something enabling TikTok for example. Same light and framing as in photos, but with model moving.
cool thanks for sharing - my trusty Canon700D is quite noisy at ISO above 400 so would cope fine with the mixed daylight and LED panel scen at the start but with my budget LEDs panels and COBs in darkended room means Im at 400 -800 so does get that noise coming in - so can allow more daylight in with shutter speed/aperture combo , buy more powerful lights or upgrade the camera!
It's the camera. I was able to save some money with upgrading to a reasonable full frame (since full frame catches sensitivity better and less noisy) even an older full frame would do a better job.
@@johnleighdesigns Mirrorless is a total game changer. I upgraded from Canon 750D to Canon 6d mkii to Canon R6. Each one has seen a significant jump in quality. The R6 is the easiest to use with the eye autofocus and more than 2 extra stops dynamic range.
So basically, u need giant BLACK dividers to pull this off. Can u explain about those and how it handles the light? You didn't go into it, but it created your solution.
Ive tried contestant LEDs off and on for the last year. My clientele hate it! They don't like it frying their eyes. Indirectly takes away the sting but requires fast aperture of high ISO. Works for me but I wont put another client through a blinding session.
Light is light - with the same mods etc it doesn't matter whether strobe or continuous (Physics!) - the advantage of strobes is obviously their ability to have very high output allowing one to easily overcome ambient and also their ability to freeze motion- continuous has the advantage of being able to 'see what you get' and to also do motion/video (a real plus for a lot of Social Media now). If you can light with strobes you can light with continuous - no need to reinvent the wheel as a photographer....
How do you handle white balance when shooting the colorful shots, like in the elevator? My camera tends to be orange-y on AWB, and I'm concerned adjusting in post will throw off the ambient colors.
I started there because if I kept my light at this distance, my aperture is already wide open at 2.8, and I don't really like going under 1/160th to prevent any shakiness, raising my ISO becomes my next choice. With the camera I'm using you're not going to be able to see a noise difference at ISO 100 vs 250, so I'm fine starting there :)
Interesting video, definitely show that it's possible to do something great even with constant light but I feel overall like you have to compensate and troubleshoot more just to get the same effect of a flash while having less control over ambiant light, mostly if you don't have access to V-Flats, and if I was the model I would had been blinded with my sensitive dry eyes by these huge leg panels constantly lit. I only find constant light to be very nice in studio settings, when it's with ghost LED tubes but God those things God a fortune for absolutely no reason! No way I'd buy 4 of them when 1 from Godox is already like over 200$. I mean if I'm to invest that much money for a few of them then I'll just get a strobe like a secondary AD400Pro that will serve me far more often.

It was so helpful how you explained what you do not like in the pictures and then you showed more options to correct it.

Thank you very much. Always enjoy and learn from Emily Teague. Well presented, clear and genuine personality.
One of the best videos I watched from start to finish.

I loved getting to teach about this. Thank you for having me!! ^_^
Thanks for this amazing class
Which software did you use for post production?
How many watts was this light?
OMG this is soo cool
Thank you!!! :)
Thank you for making examples of continious lighting, very insightful.
Thanks for the helpful lighting tips and the great teaching style
what a great video! Love Emily's way of explaining her process and just being so down to earth and experimental.
Thanks for sharing!
Glad you liked it!! :)
Love this 🙌🏾🔥
thank you Emily 💓
Great video Ms. Teague! I love flash but I am just starting to use constant lights in my portrait work and I really like them. Please keep the great videos coming!
Thank you so much!!! It was great!!!👌👍👏
Glad you liked it! Thank you!!
Great explanation...thank you
Thank you Patrik!! :)
Very nice. Especially liked the elevator photos, and the adjustments you made after the fact. Thanks.
Thank you Shawn!!
Thank u! Really inspiring.
Had visions of someone pushing the button for the elevator and the doors opening and thinking aliens have landed😂 nice one Emily 📸👍
Not far off from how it went! The apartment supervisor walked in at one point and he was thrillllllled to find a photoshoot in the elevator 😬
Pleasant to look at and very informative 👍👏
This is such an awesome video! Thank you for sharing your knowledge so generously!
Thank you so much for this step by step tutorial amazing

Amazing video 📸
Thank you so much!!! :)
Perfect photo @17:53
Thanks for the video. I am surprised I missed it when it came out.
Great video! We dont see much of the constant light vids,love how you broke everything down! New subscriber!
Superb presentation, Emily. I'm just learning how lighting fits together and learned a lot.
Fun shoot and thank you for sharing and I loved the final results

This is so helpful. Thank you so much 😊 for this tutorial.
Thanks helped me out alot
Great tutorial thanks.👍
feather light . nice
really helpful and very understandable presented. thank you, Emily

Thank you David!! I just asked Laura and she said it didn't bother her at all :)
@@EmilyTeague Thank you!!!
Great video!
Cool stuff! Thank you for sharing your knowledge! I've been looking at tube lights for a while. Just a shame they're so expensive! 😑
Have you considered the 2ft instead of 4ft? They’re a cheaper option :)
@@EmilyTeague this is true, but I like the possibilities the longer ones offer, particularly as practicals like you did in the elevator. I'll just have to save up for them!
nice video.... especially the elevator shoot.
Thank you Sam! 🙂

very informative
So basically, u need giant BLACK dividers to pull this off. Can u explain about those and how it handles the light? You didn't go into it, but it created your solution.
All you need is a stunning model and your own elevator. PRESTO!
This was such a great video. Mustve taken quite some time to shoot and edit. Great info!
Ive tried contestant LEDs off and on for the last year. My clientele hate it! They don't like it frying their eyes. Indirectly takes away the sting but requires fast aperture of high ISO. Works for me but I wont put another client through a blinding session.
would u choose these over flaash photogprahy??
Stating a light goes from 0-100 brightness, means what? Are there any lights that only go to 93? 39?
hope the model could still see after having that light in her eyes lol dilates the pupils too.would imagine they constrict the pupils a fair bit too
Light is light - with the same mods etc it doesn't matter whether strobe or continuous (Physics!) - the advantage of strobes is obviously their ability to have very high output allowing one to easily overcome ambient and also their ability to freeze motion- continuous has the advantage of being able to 'see what you get' and to also do motion/video (a real plus for a lot of Social Media now).

Wouldn't you use daylight settings so the colours do their thing?
Just curious about the iso setting is there a significant reason for 250 iso ?
I started there because if I kept my light at this distance, my aperture is already wide open at 2.8, and I don't really like going under 1/160th to prevent any shakiness, raising my ISO becomes my next choice.

Why didn't she turn off all light in the room and that window
Do you have any recs for budget panels for people to try this with?
