Now, take your fill light and place it directly underneath your key light. If the effect is too strong and your fill light is obliterating the shadows, turn the power down. The main thing to look out for is that you need to ensure that your fill light is not overpowering your key light.
This would result in your image being lit from below with your shadows being filled in from above. This is not a good look to go for. This is not a good look. Now that you have two lights sharing the same vertical space, stand behind them and shoot through the gap. Clamshell lighting is really is easy to set up and with a bit of practice you will be able to get it up and running in a couple of minutes. Although I suggested using two evenly sized softboxes, to begin with, that is by no means a restriction of any kind.
Feel free to use any kind of modifier you want and experiment liberally. Have a pair of strip boxes you want to use? Go for it. I think dude was going for more sponsors so why not give a mention to everything including the Savage paper backdrop.
I keep hearing that the Eizo monitors are great, I'm going to have to give them a test, although I will admit my monitors Samsung SyncMaster are great and I get what I see on my prints Epson stylus pro and that is all that matters. Do I need a camera that outputs 50mp files? Ok, there you have my endorsement of 8 product brands lets see which one comes to the party. So make that 8 product placements in this comment. Now can I reproduce what was shot, you better believe it.
And let's not tell anyone what was used - it's a secret. Tutorials are a balance of technique and equipment use. A Deep Brolly with perform differently than a standard brolly, and a Profoto beauty dish will perform differently than a different brand.
I'm interested which camera was used, but I don't have to use the same camera myself. The fact that a particuklar piece of kit was used makes me want to know about that kit - more info is better than no info. If we need less pixels, then that's fine too.
I wouldn't mind if the tutor had said he was using a medium format and mentioned the model number. He's not saying we have to use it. He's just offering us info. When I teach, I mention my kit. I list some of the specifics so that a little research can be done afterwards. And if needed I'l say why my choice of kit is important. But the tutorial is free, and it's a good tutorial. Little harm in a few bits of kit being mentioned.
Some of us value that info. Oh I'm all for giving free advertising to the products being used and the reason for their usage.. I was having a bit of tongue and cheek with some of the other comments. What's wrong with mentioning the products he used? He gave us a great "free" video that was very informative. So what if he mentioned what he used?
I think it's good that he did that. Would it be better if he added a disclaimer that one can get the same results with different gear? Regardless it's a really well put together video that's better than some videos I've paid for. If you were a commercially sponsored educator you'd understand that this is how things are. Sponsors reach out to photographers for the purpose of getting their products out there.
I don't find it "offensive" that the products are mentioned in the video, it's not overt to the point that ruins anything Sponsored video or not Not trying to be a hater I understand the guy is trying to make a living but come on, this is just recycled nonsense.
Not to mention everyone knows that this guy is a clone and has no style of his own lol. No style of my own? I'd love to see it keyboard warrior.

Lee Christiansen Alex Cooke - June 24, And exposure consistency - important when I'm shooting a number of portraits, each with maybe strobes. Lee Christiansen Motti Bembaron - June 24, I woprry less about colour shifts because I've never found that to be a major issue from shot to shot with other brands. Motti Bembaron Lee Christiansen - June 24, Do you mean that because each light is on different power settings the color changes?
However, I think speedlights just don't always recycle fully and light changes as a result. Lee Christiansen Motti Bembaron - June 25, I'm meaning that each subsequent flash needs to be very precisely the same exposure. Motti Bembaron Alex Cooke - July 2, Sorry for very late reply and, well, very narrow space to comment Target K was Broncolor was between KK a K variation. Godox was KK aK variation.
Profoto was the worst, KK a K variation. I'd much prefered them to list what they were actually using, rather than using a generic term. Not all softboxes are the same, not all brollies are the same, not all strobes give the same wuality of light, just ask the people who argue between flat face and open tube designs , If memory serves, this video had a mighty big disclaimer that it ewas sponsored by Eizo.
I'm sorry you're feeling too old for my comments. Jeff Rojas Motti Bembaron - June 25, "And please do not start with "you don't like, don't watch", I am way too old for that. When you pay me, then I'll listen to your opinion. Who are you lying to? Jeff Rojas davidlovephotog - June 25, Damned if I do. Jon Miller - June 24, This was a very nice and simple tutorial, all I kept hearing however was product placement.
