Absolutely incredible to watch someone who has perfected their art to this level. You know exactly what effect/result you will achieve beforehand and then proceed to prove the theory which is a testament to your skill. Thoroughly enjoyed watching and subscribed.

Love these! You’ve improved my wife’s and my photos so much and made it something fun we do together! We love studying with you! Thank you thank you thank you!!
Fantastic follow-up to Lighting for Males. PLEASE - will you do lighting the couple in a future video? That would be soooo helpful. Thank you, Jerry. This kind of quality and honest transparency is so needed in photoeducation! You have the confidence to show the "normal" photo, which makes it clear how subtle it often is to go from zero to hero!
One of the very best photographers and teachers in the business. Thank you for inspiring me so much in my work. Covid has taken a toll in NYC but we try to keep on growing. Your posing tutorial at BH was pure gold. Ive looked at that several times. I showed up at a few of your teachings in NYC. Love you! Keep inspiring us!!!
That's awesome! It's not a scary subject, it just takes a moment to breath and figure out what you CAN change. You have models!! A friend, family member, even a mannequin! There's nothing stopping you from practicing🤓
This video is so helpful. Always a great refresher. I share it with lots of people when I come across someone lighting women directly full frontal. Thank you for your hard work and dedication to this field!
Jerry, you're a rock star! Thank you, thank you. You have a gift, not just for photography, but for distilling information down to digestible and meaningful pieces.
@@JerryGhionisPhotography JUST PURCHASED The Art of Wedding Photography AND The Pose! Last night's tutorial tipped the scale for me, so committed learning more. I'M SO EXCITED! J.R.
That's great! I'm so happy you enjoyed it. Remember...repetition, experience and practice will always be your best teacher. So my recommendation to retain that information is to go out and practice as quickly as you can and then keep doing it often.
AMAZING VIDEO! This is what photography is about, understanding lighting. Tired of the videos about how my camera can shoot 30 fps and can aquire the eye 1 mile away and track a person trying his hardest not to be photographed.
I have discovered your channel by luck and I am a photographer. Your tips are first class! A top photographer is the one who can master the light! And you certainly proven that. Thank you so much for all your tuitions. Please do some more🙌👏🙏🙏🙏
your explanation is excellent and you are a true teacher. I feel everything you say is a pearl and a practical lesson and there’s no B.S. I’d love to buy your books and watch your videos. Photography is my casual hobby and I love taking good photographs of friends and family. There’re times I don’t like the photos I take but don’t know what to change. Your videos had been a tremendous help. Thank you so much. 👌😊
I've watched lots of videos on YT about the lighting, how to.. etc.. I've got to say It's first one, when during watching it I grabbed my camera and tried to do what I just saw. Awesome job Jerry 👍 I'm checking now your other videos. P.S. what a beautiful model 👌
generally as noted by a great Classical photographer Joe Zeltsman, one area where the female can be photographed in a non feminine pose is an elderly person. Also dark clothing can be photographed in the masculine pose on a woman where the body and head is toward the direction of light. JG was just masterfully showing the feminine pose. Females are lucky -- just not a great idea to use a male in a feminine pose.
“Take your time“ seems one of the best pieces of advice besides how to turn. As a pro, can you predict most lighting outcomes, or do you still have to test, which of course, takes time?
It depends. If I've been in that environment before then you can very close guess what your settings will be. When working in a studio, for example, I always do a test shot before I begin. But I find that over the years (and the more experienced you get), then the amount of time it takes to test the lighting because shorter because you're able to more closely guess what it will be.
I'm glad I bought a flash with a modelling light. Your tutorials make that a necessity so I can see the light before taking countless shots before getting it right.
It's such a joy to watch and learn from a true professional photographer with years of experience. I hope people who watch appreciate this video appreciate the value of what is being shared.
Just found you on RUclips, and I am VERY happy I did. I only recently came out of a coma. To my horror, I have lost 35 years of my past. From 1986 to a year ago is all I can remember. From1986 backwards I am fine. My wonderful wife, Josie, has put out a SOS to all our friends around the World to fill in a very large gap. Part of my (more than hobby ), was Nikon based everything. I found your page and thought, YES… found one! The One being the levels you range from that I can watch to get my brain a back on the road from one source... You. I cannot go out yet as I have to learn to walk again. After my daily physio instruction from my hospital team, I go into my studio the my wife made for me and spend the day catching up on history and also what is the latest in Photography. None of my 8 Cameras have 1,000 actuations so I have decided to stay wit the gear I have. Kudos to a great presentation on an important media,
@@TwoBuddiesFabrication Fortunately my wife has a file (hard copies) of all our passwords and I.D. Keys. Without that I would be sunk. Thank you for the good wishes. I am taking my RUclips page live very soon. I hope you pop in to say hello.
Hey Jerry: I met you a number of years ago in Toronto at one of your seminars. Still using the cards I purchased (they are with me in my kit) and the technics you demonstrated.
hmm sorry I missed that but likely occurred after I had retired. Would have loved to have been able to have him speak to Central Portrait PPO when I was Program Chairman.
Great info, When other known photographers talk about you (always Positive) then you know you can't go wrong with learning things from you. Definitely, you have mastered light and shadows.
Another excellent video. Hopefully, I’ll soon have the opportunity to try out these tips. It might be difficult to get a patient enough model since it is clear this is neither a fast or easy process. Thanks for the thought process and pointing out pitfalls.
Dear Jerry, thank you for your perfect and detailed revue of lighting. Amazing class. One more question: How do you get the camera display in the video with your Nikon?
Absolutely incredible, two of my favourite photographers being Australian. Loving this RUclips content Jerry. You are an absolute legend. Thank you and stay safe during these tough times.
To sum this up: start with an amazingly beautiful model, find an open big ass garage door with what appears to be a southern exposure and an incredibly sharp Nikon lens with camera. Did I forget anything? Easy peasy! LOL. Excellent tutorial.
actually if possible a Northern exposure is preferred. Artists from all time have always tried to use a "north light" when creating paintings particularly of the human form. Also, anywhere you can create subtractive lighting which as defined by Leon Kennamer as "the creation of highlight and shadow by blocking light from one side of the face" which was so effectively done by JG.
Thank you, mate. As for becoming a Nikon ambassador. There's no application process and although it's one of things I am most proud of, I don't know the process that Nikon used to choose me as an ambassador for them. My recommendation generally speaking (and in life!) would be to work hard, continue perfecting your craft, help others and just enjoy the journey. The journey is much better than the destination.
Please continue to post these educational videos... your photos are always amazing. It’s like you see the photo, before you even begin posing the subject.
It's called a Blackmagic monitor recorder and it's what allows you to see what I see in my viewfinder. Link: www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1578060-REG/blackmagic_design_video_assist_3g_5.html

Lovely. I watched the men's version too. Some interesting differences, I've been wondering about those for a while. Not sure how you found such beautiful models, but but it was great to see how even they can be affected by different light use. Thanks or the great video.
Hello! I'm so happy to find your channel. I'm not a photographer but I like to illustrate, and I have to say that I learned a bunch from your videos too! Thank you so much for making these videos. I wonder if you'd make videos for plus-size men and women, or different age ranges too, if you don't mind and have the time 🥰✨
Nice tips and good teaching 👍 I want your book, but unable to get it in India. Please help me to get one. Actually, black and white photography is very much required that lighting tends than color photography.
Nice video. In fact I've learned so much from all your videos. Thank you. However, can you give some info on the settings you use for sharp photos on this particular video and similar shoots. Thanks
Thank you very much . It s the first time i heard all this . It s fantastic. Can you make more video on how to shoot a model and the pose they can take, and the hand . Bravo !!!
I've come here to learn how to make better photographs of my family, hoping just to catch some tricks. And OMG... you are awesome! It is like a part of a damn university course, by an actual pro, and really easy to understand. I always said that you have to know smth very well to be able to explain it to another person. You do! Pls, make more videos about taking photos of mere mortals, not only goddesses... How to hide imperfections of figure, skin, and so on. I really liked your explanations of how different lighting a person will change her appearance, but we would like to SEE this. Maybe also a more detailed tutorial to upper/lower light?
Great class, thanks a lot! Out of interest, what kind of external monitor was clamped to the tripod? I'm looking to get a monitor for my Z6ii og Z7ii when I receive them.
Hi Benjamin - that's a Blackmagic video assist 5" monitor recorder. Here's a link at B&H if that makes it easier: www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1578060-REG/blackmagic_design_video_assist_3g_5.html
This is superb, Thanks for the tips. My question is, Is it ideal to use V-flat to fill in the shadow and spice it up a bit after turning her away from the light?
It just depends on what you like. If I'm shooting fashion, for example, and I want more detail in the shadows then a V flat would be a great option. Sometimes I will put a black cutter to cut away the light and make the shadows more pronounced. So it depends on the feeling you try to convey.
