    Tommy, the edits at the end of the video was my favorite! ha-ha! I really liked your easy to follow, laid-back attitude. The skin tones and backdrop were a perfect match. And props to the beautiful model! I am happy to say you found a new subscriber. Keep up the great work!

    She's beautiful and you do her justice. It was so interesting to see what the fill light looked like on its own. I wish you would show what each light looks like solo so we can see what they each add to the picture.

    I like the use of the large umbrella as a fill light. I haven’t used it in this way, but like the idea, it’s simple enough. I don’t have an Eyelighter, but I do use a reflector the same way to soften shadows. Great video man!

    As a teacher, I would have showed the audience the beauty dish without the fill light and the beauty dish feathered. I've seen other people feather, a beauty dish, and there were no harsh shadows caused by the harsh light coming from the beauty dish. I also would explain why you don't want harsh shadows on the background because you stated it as if it's an absolute do not want when it could be a creative, or preference based decision

      @@Tommy4k hahaha I'm not ready but meant you as a teacher not me. Video is great but I can ask so many questions off this that I know I was asking when I started out or that I wanted to see so I understood why someone said " not to" or "should" which I then learned should be stated "I would suggest" because I was learning from people who taught photography as a "rule" based skill instead of creative freedom with awareness of technique

    2. What type of camera is that?
    3. What are the brand names and model of the lights?
    4. Why is the background color showing up as brown instead of orange.
    5. Did you edit the pics the model you're showing us or are those pictures exactly how you shot them?

      1. Roughly $5k
      2. Sony a74
      3. Godox ad400
      4. The video is showing color from the house lights which aren’t color accurate
      5. The only edited photos are the ones at the end of the video
