this has to be one of the most entertaining seminars I've seen online ... I know you have done a couple of them through the years but every time I walk away with something new learned under my belt.
Hello Mr. Bob, You made all the lighting are simple and perfect. I loved and learned your teaching every minutes. Thank you for showing us what you do best.
I love this guys work. Simplistic, detailed, and he really hammers in the points over and over that people need to remember. What I like about this video? He shoots tethered and shows you the results after he changes the lighting between shots. I thought his interaction with the model was hilarious. Why the hate when he calls her "hun"? I don't see anyone complaining about Ghionis calling girls by the name "gorgeous"
Thank you very much Robert H. I will stop deleting my bad photographs from now on! That is a truly inspiring training video… You make feel like a normal "enthusiast"… Cheers!
good video, I have the flash bender but have not used it much because it was too heavy for the flash, then I watch this and Bob solves the problem, thank you Bob
Watching this video I understand why most studio photographers can't withstand the physical demands of a landscape photographer needs. What a flamboyant photographer!
thanks for the excellent class bob (and, of course, b&h). it was explained clearly and nicely demonstrated. i've been getting interested in studio-type photography but had no clue how to get started in lighting. i'm amazed to see how much capability/flexibility can be had with so little equipment (and without breaking the bank). i've added the stuff to my b&h wishlist and i'm gonna get your book.
Extremely grateful for the detailed instructions, examples, and explanations. I learned more from this video than everything I knew about lighting before; that's not an exaggeration. I watched the entire video and there are 2 things I'm certain of; my photos will look considerably better while utilizing these techniques and Robert is David Hasselhoff's doppelgänger.
Amazing how I keep forgetting that photography and lighting can achieve fantastic results by keeping it SIMPLE. Loved this presentation! On a side note...does anyone know why the Rogue Flashbender XL-Pro has been discontinued?? I was all set to buy one :/
The problem with photographers: I can't find a single f'ing video of pro photographers demonstrating anything without someone going "that's bad because, that's false because."
Thank you Robert for this great tutorial. Clearly shows what is possible with only using a single speed light. As for the super pro's giving all the "expert" critiques I think u forget this was a TUTORIAL not a fashion shoot for a fashion magazine, with a purpose of displaying what can be achieved with minimal gear yet still achieving an end result. One can only ask why it is not you being ask to give a presentation by BNH yet Roberts is........SMH
+Agnostos Gnostos I think a lot of that was from the video. Viewing the high res versions on the projector wouldn't have looked nearly bad or even non existent depending on projector quality
+Achilleas Labrou - Since you mentioned it, the reason the moire wasn't addressed during the presentation is because it was not present during the event. You are reacting to an effect from the filming of the event. The moire is from the video, not the camera.
Great teacher! Really stick to the basics. Minimal equipment. No light meter. Really teaching from experience. Goes to show it's not the equipment. It's the guy/girl behind it.
RonDeeKhailOlivia Bob is one of my very favorite photography teachers on youtube. I really appreciated this video, but I have to agree with the comments concerning the model. Rob mentions that the model was nervous, but his actions did nothing to calm her down. He seemed to be the nervous one...or a silly school boy. I certainly look forward to more of his videos.
16:07 "That's literally out of the camera." Yeah, you're not fooling anyone. Look at the brush work on her chin and the retouching on the skin and eyes. The hood/fur is blown.
+diesel828 ??? What do you mean? Her eyes look fine her chin looks fine.. and the hood/fur are blown because they catch more light.. It is complete plausible that this is a SOOC shot..
Super creepy when he told the model he liked her pose at around the 41 min mark. He says "the one with your head tilted forward a little sneaky, like your mom's around the corner and your boyfriends hiding under the bed" SERIOUSLY WHAT THE HECK IS WRONG WITH HIM. Why would he even say anything like that. B and H surely could have edited that out.
+Hub Towner thats just due to upbringing i think. In the south it is virtually impossible to find an older man or woman that doesnt call a young woman hun or honey or sweetie or sweetheart etc. It's simply a friendly way of addressing someone in that culture not a term of endearment necessarily. If you are from that area its not creepy it's just normal.
Hub Towner yeah. It can still be a bit weird though. I rarely notice younger men do it, I do sometimes but usually I am intentionally being condescending, but the weird thing is alot of southern girls do it. So you can meet a girls down south and within 5 minutes of meeting she is referring to you as darlin or sweetheart or babe. It can be very confusing for the guys.
this has to be one of the most entertaining seminars I've seen online ... I know you have done a couple of them through the years but every time I walk away with something new learned under my belt.
This is probably one of the best one-light demonstrations available.
Superb Bob, I can't believe how much you've packed into an hour and half video.
Please keep them coming.
I like this guy, down to Earth and not arrogant like many pros can be.
completely agree with you. He knows how hard photographer's bread is, so he talks to the audience with respect.
M Shaw for
I love your explanations and teachings. One of the best I have watched. Perfect pace perfect instructions and very friendly. Thank you so much.
Rob's brilliant when it comes to teaching. Probably the best tutorial I've seen on using the Rogue Flashbender!
Hello Mr. Bob,
You made all the lighting are simple and perfect. I loved and learned your teaching every minutes.
Thank you for showing us what you do best.
luv all robert harrington's speedlite tutorials... very simple but at the same time very useful...
Wow - what a great video! My heartfelt thanks to Robert Harrington and B&H.
The best video I've watched on using off camera flash, Excellent.
I love this guys work. Simplistic, detailed, and he really hammers in the points over and over that people need to remember.
What I like about this video? He shoots tethered and shows you the results after he changes the lighting between shots.
I thought his interaction with the model was hilarious. Why the hate when he calls her "hun"?
I don't see anyone complaining about Ghionis calling girls by the name "gorgeous"
This guy is AWESOME!!!
Thank you very much Robert H. I will stop deleting my bad photographs from now on!
That is a truly inspiring training video…
You make feel like a normal "enthusiast"…
Cheers!
good video, I have the flash bender but have not used it much because it was too heavy for the flash, then I watch this and Bob solves the problem, thank you Bob
excellent shooter and keeps it simple...amazing because he knows his camera,gear,and how to improvise//
Excellent! Great for aspiring portrait photographers
Awesome seminar! Thank you
Watching this video I understand why most studio photographers can't withstand the physical demands of a landscape photographer needs.
What a flamboyant photographer!
Excelent teacher, great tips and awesome class.
Love the dark dramatic look. Great video 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Great job Bob !!!

Great and entertaining tutorial, not one boring moment:):).

Great tutorial. Really inspired me to go out there and do a ton of stuff with my one speedlite and diffusers.
Thank you for the demonstration I actually watch the whole presentation
Superb, learned a lot from it.
Love this guy!! Thanks.
Thanks alot sir. Worth it
Great video, thanks!
Love this guy and I enjoy following his work. He really simplifies things. But one problem, everything he does is his favorite.....LOL.....
That isn't a problem lol.
Excellent
Informative vid
One Light 101 With Robert Harrington
What power was the flash set at? Did that get mentioned?
Amazing how I keep forgetting that photography and lighting can achieve fantastic results by keeping it SIMPLE. Loved this presentation! On a side note...does anyone know why the Rogue Flashbender XL-Pro has been discontinued?? I was all set to buy one :/
What Kings of Leon song does the intro sound like?
bravo more more
The problem with photographers: I can't find a single f'ing video of pro photographers demonstrating anything without someone going "that's bad because, that's false because."
Why is it all the B&H videos in u tube not in focus (Clear) ?
santoshkumar vijayan watch in higher quality... jeez! :D watch in 720p
Thank you Robert for this great tutorial. Clearly shows what is possible with only using a single speed light.

What is "house music"?
Music you play in your home.
Super
Pretty girl, great class.
Good video... I wish the model used a different sweater. The pattern makes it difficult to see the shadows.
The moire was unbelievable and the photographer didn't mentioned at all. Great omission.
+Agnostos Gnostos I think a lot of that was from the video. Viewing the high res versions on the projector wouldn't have looked nearly bad or even non existent depending on projector quality

This was great! =)
Eventhough his interaction with the model was sometimes... uncomfortable / awkward =/
It was completely creepy.

He kinda looks like David Hasselhoff

trotamundos Ricardo Now I know you're not a photographer
***** I know so. My photography business is booming.
do yourself a favor and skip the first 20 minutes.
job well done cheer
Would it perhaps have helped you if the makeup had been professionally done? No offense meant at all.
That poor model. Ha.
I don't like the way He treated the Model. Very #handsmaidstale
Wish he hadn't called her hun and honey.
Super creepy when he told the model he liked her pose at around the 41 min mark. He says "the one with your head tilted forward a little sneaky, like your mom's around the corner and your boyfriends hiding under the bed" SERIOUSLY WHAT THE HECK IS WRONG WITH HIM.

Joshua Son Makes sense.
