To be honest, instead of having Markus' knowledge on lighting, I wish I had his energy for setting up the lights and going through the motion! I'm so lazy to set up intricate lighting set ups!!!
I love how you go through all the standard light theory with real world examples and personal anecdotes. The fact that you are not selling or promoting anything only sharing knowledge and passion is inspiring. Your unpolished way of teaching how to be polished in truly genuine. I'm sure you could grow your channel by doing reviews on new equipment. Please don't. This is so much better and more respectable. You're definitely winning and are setting up a much better long term fanbase. Ironically, I learn more of what to use or not watching you than others peddling the latest camera tech!
Its funny, she's very impatient with everything else in life, but as soon as you hold a camera on her, its like she's instantly tranquilized. It's amazing.
This was indeed Epic......the logistics and planning of such a video must be quite daunting.Watching your content is like riding a wave of enthusiasm and by the end you know it's been time well spent.....another Markusfix.......wonderful
That Sony Z90V 4K camcorder is awesome. The clarity, magnification and color are great. The only thing I have problem getting is the blonde model. I haven't given up hope though. Thanks for sharing. Good insight on desert lighting...
Definitely showing stuff that most photographers don't share and some don't use. Thanks for this video glad you are giving many options that many don't know about from Hollywood Sets.
I have learned so much from many other professional photographers and video makers........I can tell that you got more experiences and skills....love that! Much appreciated❤
I cannot imagine how talented an artist this guy is! What he’s done is truly amazing. He looks very young but he was gifted in e very respect. He had a horrible sickness that galvanised his life. Another weird gift. I love that he shows not just talks how to do things that work on the extreme cheap and deliver a great product. I like this no excuses anyone can do it teaching. A very interesting guy!
I've watched dozens (hundreds?) of lighting videos and this one is by far the BEST I've ever seen as far as explanation and showing what impact each setup has on the scene / subject. Thanks SO MUCH for sharing this.
Wow , you are both so wonderful 😁 , the tenderness is inspiring. Thank you so much for sharing these great tips and your wonderful examples of love ❤️ .
this sould be named..... MASTERCLASS HOLLYWOOD OUTDOORS LIGHTNING!!!!! Thanks for sharing and thanks for your effort Markus!!!!!!! Blesswings to you and Cara!!!!
Markus, you are the best, again teaching subtractive lights, additive lights diffusion light and mixing day and artificial light for balanced pleasant look, many thanks sir for what you do , u and your beautiful lady.
Markus you keep outdoing yourself on these videos. Knowledge is time saving and money making or in my case... for the quality and FUN! What a great video and Cara is such a super patient model. Good job team. - Jim
After seeing this video I really wonder why people are so obsessed with cinema cameras, giant aperture lenses and soft backgrounds because these shots are gorgeous and SHARP. The Nevada desert is blowing me away with how beautiful it is. The entire scene is in focus. Then Markus shows how to light for a certain purpose. But just the wide shots look so awesome. Just about every camera gear video on youtube looks like soft mush compared to this. 1" sensor camcorder for the win. I know it's not an either or thing, but seeing sharpness after so much blur is a real treat.
First Comment -- Nice outdoor lighting tutorial ! You use a Sony A7III and the A7IV has just been released -- You should rent one to see if it's something you'd like. They say the new A7IV creates amazing videos as well as excellent still photography. Thanks for sharing 👍
Can't get over all the options you show in your videos! Your experience using all the things you show is great and I bet that if I had gone through a local course I wouldn't have been shown all the details on scrims, white vs silver reflectors and all those diffuser options. THANKS FOR MAKING THESE!
Wow...great advice delivered well; and your energy is contagious! And the heaviest thing you had out there...those rocks you used to hold the stands! Good workout just moving them about!
I've always enjoyed your videos, but this one topped them all. The amount of information you share here with detailed, hands-on examples is absolutely incredible. I don't subscribe easily but this one made me hit the bell. Keep up the good work.
AWESOME ambient lighting demonstration video. Very well explained and demonstrated. Great content. Great model. Great location. So many creative shade, diffusion and reflector options for different creators and budgets. 👍👍☀🌗
I've been using the Fovitech 4x4 for several years...it's bulletproof, and I love it! Also, thanks to your video a while back on knocking down backgrounds, I now travel to my location shoots with a bunch of chiffon. It has saved my bacon more than once, calming windows in the background, and it's SO much easier and WAY cheaper than using ND filter on a roll. Thanks for everything you do...you ROCK!
As usual what a wonderful and very informative video. the energy in which you describ and explain what you're doing is intoxicating(in a good way of course) big props to Cara, not only she's beautiful but she also has the patients which is very Pleasant to see and of course the chemistry between you is so fun and delightful. Must admit at first when I came across your videos I fantasized of having a chance to win freebies but after you decided not to include International viewers it did not matter because your content is so good that of course made me stay tuned to your wonderful Channel😊💙
Video after video you keep impressing me with the content rich, analytic and practical lessons you provide! Invaluable gift from a gifed person! Thank you!
New sub here! just found your channel yesterday and by far I am loving your content - it's more practical, easy to follow and best of all no BS. What's amazes me is that your videos are long but I am watching the whole thing. Model is gorgeous!
Hi Markus! I Love youe hehe, you have solved a heavy question that I had about how to solve natural sunlight, step by step, fully detailed, thank you! Without a doubt this video is invaluable material!
Thank you Markus. This video is really all in one natural lighting modification. I have said this many times but I have to say it again, you are the most inspiring photography videography channel on RUclips for someone like me who never learnt Hollywood lighting techniques. Greatly appreciated. Your enthusiasm and profession is second to none. I have recently started my vlog channel to provide information about inexpensive yet good image quality setup for vlogging. Everytime I wanted to buy a new piece of fancy gear I always remind myself Markuspix can achieve the quality with little spending on gear. Regards, Frank from Australia.
Hey Markus, deine Videos stecken voller Liebe - vor allem zu Deiner Frau - und zu den ganzen technischen Details. Genial! ich mag Deine Videos sehr. Danke für diese vielen Infos. Macht Spass Euch zuzuschauen. Ihr seid klasse!
This has to be one of the best videos I've seen on lighting. My wife would freaking kill me if I ever brought out one of those giant diffusers. She likes all her photos overexposed cuz she says you can see more. I'm gonna put my marriage to the test and invest on a giant made in china 5 in 1. And a nice strobe light. Another awesome video
@@MarkusPix lol when you say it like that it actually sounds like it could work. I'm gonna go ahead and make the purchases and then try that line out xD She wants to go camping in the snow this winter so that sounds like the perfect time to try everything out. To try and get some nice background shots of mountains and keep her and the kids looking nice in the shots. Hope she doesn't mind the 4x4 reflector and the diffusers coming along with us on the trip xD
Great channel. Absolutely LOVE the DIY and inexpensive approach to Video and photography. Most of the other channels are flogging the latest Uber expensive gear. That's great, but I live in the land of realistic normal budgets. We need to make do with what we have. Keep it up.
Wow lots of information. I love the comparison showing expensive stuff and cheaper options or even diy stuff. Thanks for providing such great information. I have a RUclips channel myself and I appreciate how long it takes to create content. All your channels are awesome
I've been working on all kinds of productIons and shooting film& photography for decades. Still, I learned from you on several fronts. THANK YOU MARKUS!! Pleasure!
Now that I have seen a few of your videos, I have subscribed. I am surprised that you are not one of the most viewed. You instinctively know that everyone does not have unlimited funds to create good photography. I am in the process of moving but I will certainly view your vids when I am soon in a free country that does not have Corona madness.
Another great video! Really interesting. I know most of this stuff, but you always show it and explain it well and I still learn something. Cara is such a great model.
🇹🇹🇩🇰💃🇹🇹🇩🇰 I admire Cara's little girly fancy dress🤣🤩. I am not into all that photography, and all that things Markus is telling about, and explaining but I love to watch and Listen👂👂. Educational for the Camera Lovers, and Photographer's, people in that sector. I am nowhere close. Thank you Markus, great information and presentation. Awesome!
All great tips. But boy, I'm sure you're probably glad you did this on a non-windy day! Me, its always my luck that whenever I do an outdoor shoot and I'm by myself (me and my model, no assistant) there's always a gust of wind here and there, knocking my light stands over!! hahaha!
To be honest, instead of having Markus' knowledge on lighting, I wish I had his energy for setting up the lights and going through the motion! I'm so lazy to set up intricate lighting set ups!!!
Especially if you have big heavy equipment. This is why you have assistants
I wish I had his energy period. 😅
I love how you go through all the standard light theory with real world examples and personal anecdotes. The fact that you are not selling or promoting anything only sharing knowledge and passion is inspiring. Your unpolished way of teaching how to be polished in truly genuine. I'm sure you could grow your channel by doing reviews on new equipment. Please don't. This is so much better and more respectable. You're definitely winning and are setting up a much better long term fanbase. Ironically, I learn more of what to use or not watching you than others peddling the latest camera tech!
Cara is so patient. Thank you Cara! These lessons are so great. So thanks to you both for sharing.
Its funny, she's very impatient with everything else in life, but as soon as you hold a camera on her, its like she's instantly tranquilized. It's amazing.
Neat trick :D
@@MarkusPix lol!!!
@@MarkusPix I bet it helps she enjoys seeing you enjoying photographing her so much. You make a great team. So happy and thankful for you both!
The connection....the chemistry.
I really like these DIY lessons on lighting
Youre true
Thats so true.
This was indeed Epic......the logistics and planning of such a video must be quite daunting.Watching your content is like riding a wave of enthusiasm and by the end you know it's been time well spent.....another Markusfix.......wonderful
Glad you enjoyed it!
I am very impressed. You did all that for this video without all that big bulky stuff! And your sound is great. Your good!
This is a masterclass in natural light modification. Great video!
That Sony Z90V 4K camcorder is awesome. The clarity, magnification and color are great. The only thing I have problem getting is the blonde model. I haven't given up hope though. Thanks for sharing. Good insight on desert lighting...
I've spent more than US$25,000 on gear and this is the first time I have heard of many of techniques mentioned in this video. Thank you so much!
Beautiful wife and beautiful shots! That scenery is amazing!
Wow Markus, I wasn't expecting a video tonight. thank you!
Definitely showing stuff that most photographers don't share and some don't use.
Thanks for this video glad you are giving many options that many don't know about from Hollywood Sets.
I have learned so much from many other professional photographers and video makers........I can tell that you got more experiences and skills....love that! Much appreciated❤
Oscar winning Photography. Great couple. Very loving and cooperative to each other.
Another great master class, brilliant keeping the costs down tips also.

These are workshops that you pay big bucks for!!! Thank you for sharing them free of charge.

This brotha is so talented and articulate
Markus, you are the best, again teaching subtractive lights, additive lights diffusion light and mixing day and artificial light for balanced pleasant look, many thanks sir for what you do , u and your beautiful lady.
best teacher of all time
I think Cara was one tired puppy at the end of that. Well done Cara !
Marcus, just awesome, awesome, awesome, this is what we need, Just Great!
Excellent lesson! Mad props to Cara for her patience👍👍
Markus you keep outdoing yourself on these videos. Knowledge is time saving and money making or in my case... for the quality and FUN! What a great video and Cara is such a super patient model. Good job team. - Jim
Like your longer vids that go greater into depth.
Thanks Markus - awesome. I always learn something every time I watch your tutorials

Still very excited for the audio series. You have some of the most consistently great audio on RUclips.
Danke Markus :) Sie ist so geduldig mit dir :) gutes Video!
Another Great one Markus!!! Love you guys..
Awesome video Markus. I was blown away by the effect of your diy scrim ❤
That is pretty much a perfect video about reflectors ... thank you very much!
First Comment --

Thanks for sharing 👍
Second 😀
Yes they said that about the A7S3, so I bought one and the pics look the same as the A73. Its not the camera as much as the photographer and lenses.
Marcus, make a video of your audio, that audio sounds freaking awesome
Great lesson, Markus and Cara!
Great practical lighting tips!! Thanks so much.
Great video!! The ending is priceless!!
Can't get over all the options you show in your videos! Your experience using all the things you show is great and I bet that if I had gone through a local course I wouldn't have been shown all the details on scrims, white vs silver reflectors and all those diffuser options. THANKS FOR MAKING THESE!
You are so welcome!
I really appreciate how you break these down. I’ve never taken a photography course, have a lot to learn, and these have been a huge help!
I really like the fact that she poses all the time, even when they're not shooting!!
Wow...great advice delivered well; and your energy is contagious! And the heaviest thing you had out there...those rocks you used to hold the stands! Good workout just moving them about!
Really a great one Markus. Thank you very much to both! 👊👊👊
Wow... lots of info and choices for all! Thank you both for making the time to put together your gear videos.

What's amazes me is that your videos are long but I am watching the whole thing.
Model is gorgeous!
A lot of info. Thank you. I need something that will keep some glare off the camera lens. I try to use my hand if I notice it.
❤it! Great info as always and I learn something new yet again, this time about the chiffon fabric.Brill!
Hi Markus! I Love youe hehe, you have solved a heavy question that I had about how to solve natural sunlight, step by step, fully detailed, thank you! Without a doubt this video is invaluable material!

Thank you
Love the great tips! Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
This has to be one of the best videos I've seen on lighting. My wife would freaking kill me if I ever brought out one of those giant diffusers. She likes all her photos overexposed cuz she says you can see more. I'm gonna put my marriage to the test and invest on a giant made in china 5 in 1. And a nice strobe light. Another awesome video
Why would she kill you if it made her look better? 😉 This is where you tell her "this is for your own good dear- don't you want to look fabulous?"
@@MarkusPix lol when you say it like that it actually sounds like it could work. I'm gonna go ahead and make the purchases and then try that line out xD
She wants to go camping in the snow this winter so that sounds like the perfect time to try everything out.

Great beautifil and patience model and assistant....and great video.
Thanks so much for this video! I know it took you forever and we appreciate the effort!
It's the plastic sheeting tip for me. A true master.

Another great video about lighting! Thank you Markus!
This is a MASTER class!! Thank you!
