I had to watch this twice. OMG,...LINDSAY!!! You doll up SO beautiful!!! WOW!!! So the first watch,....all I could see was YOU. I had to watch a second time to learn your lighting tips. Great video, great tips, Great look Lindsay!!
I knew about looking for natural reflectors and open shade. But I appreciate you pointing out looking for additional light sources that you can take advantage of to create subtle highlights on the subject. It will cause me to pay more careful attention when using natural light.
Excellent video and message Lindsay Adler! Yes, there is so much one can do with available light but as you pointed out we got o look for all the sources creating the lights. Thanks ADORAMA for having Photographers of the level of Lindsay Adler on your great Channel!
Excellent insight ! Excellent pointers ! Priceless educational information ! But, when using this kind of natural lighting, you have got to keep in mind, while some lighting opportunities may be incredibly stunning, it can be fleeting, and you had better be prepared to work quickly, or lose that wonderful lighting opportunity !
Lindsay is a master photographer and talented instructor giving away great lighting secrets. See her channel for even more tips and useful information.
A real highlight among your enthusiastic and inspiring videos, Lindsey. You understanding of the perception of lighting is a Liebeserklärung for the core of visual arts in general and beauty in particular. Thank you. And greetings from Nuremberg, Germany.
absolutely beautiful work. wow so no flash needed. I wish I had a friend or model friend or even a family member who supported me enough to help me practice. I'll keep trying though.
A good technique I’ve always used is to hold your hand out in front of you and spin around 360 degrees and watch the quality of light change on your palm 😊
This is beautiful! And great tips! It's amazing how just a step or a slight tilt of the head makes a more flattering photo! Great job! And I love that lens it's my go to and hardly ever comes off my body!
She mentioned using an 85mm f/1.2 lens. Notice the distance between the camera and her subject, and the subject and the background. Hmmm. Not much depth of field there. Now, remember the old sunny 16 rule? An object lit by full sun usually will be properly exposed at f/16, 1/60 sec and ISO 64. Well that "rule" also suggests that good exposure for an object under an overcast sky is about f/8 and full shade is about f/5.6. Lindsay seems to be no more than 2-3 metres from the model, and the model is no more than 1-2 metres from the background. But she didn't get that nice soft background shooting at f/8 or f/5.6. Lastly, what's the point of having a nice f/1.2 lens if you don't use that feature. I doubt if Lindsay would shoot at f/1.2 but she definitely would at f/1.4 or f/2. She also likes some "wiggle room" in terms of ISO, so I guess she is at ISO 200 even ISO 400. So doing the math from the rule, +3 stops for ISO 400, and +3 stops for f/2 equals +6, which from 1/60 sec is 1/4000 sec. The combination of f/2, ISO 400 and 1/4000 is well within the capabilities of the R5. I'm probably out a bit, but that's where I would start.
Thank you very much for such good advice. 👍 How do you deal with changing the color of light reflecting on different colored surfaces? To give an extreme example, how would you handle if you have the model in the shade of a tree which gives the shadows a greenish tint and the highlights are coming from the reflection of a brick wall which gives it a reddish tint?
The grip bulge on the right front side of a modern camera really helps holding it comfortably. Camera straps and the female anatomy can conflict or feel uncomfortable and she also has a wireless lavalier microphone that would be plagued by contact noise. If she worried about dropping the camera she could use a hand-strap that connects the right eyelet with the tripod mount. Some L-brackets have a strap mount and some straps come with Manfrotto or Arca mount plate (with such a strap). Gitzo has one, or Camdapter. But to her a camera is a business tax deductible expense, so ...

@@lindsayadlerphoto haha. It’s all good.
I’ve been trying to notice all the details in photos I look at.
3:52 Lindsey amuses me 😁😁😁
Thank you very much for such good advice. 👍
How do you deal with changing the color of light reflecting on different colored surfaces?
To give an extreme example, how would you handle if you have the model in the shade of a tree which gives the shadows a greenish tint and the highlights are coming from the reflection of a brick wall which gives it a reddish tint?
Is it possible to miss a shot with Canon RF 50mm 1.2 or Canon RF 85mm 1.2 ?
How do you read the ligth to have the proper expococion.
Why are you not using a lens’s shade shooting into the sun ??

Really good! But I get so nervous seeing you using the camera without strap. OMG!
