I have to say a huge thank you for sharing these videos. I know I'm solid at my craft in baking, but taking that and translating it to film to build my youtube channel and company is definitely a learning curve. You are so good at breaking concepts down, easy to listen to, and you are naturally a teacher at heart. So grateful 🙏!

Such a helpful video. Thanks so much. Also, i am absolutely in love with your accent and how you say "softbox"

I loved the use of the bunch of grapes to illustrate your concepts. Great video. Very impressive large monitor on the wall there. I am presently putting together a micro photo studio space to allow me to shoot archaeology specimens, so more hard light than this setup but there is still so much useful information being shared here. Love the confident delivery

OMG Joanie, you're blowing my mind. I had no idea diffusers came in different thicknesses *face palm*. Thank you!

Just what I needed to see on my YouTube feed. Recently purchased my first strobe and I'm researching for modifiers 😄

This video came at just the right time! Bought 2 of the 3 modifiers! Thanks Joanie!

As a new creator, I watch a lot of camera/studio YouTube, and your on-camera vibe is probably top 5. You, John Gress, Curtis Judd, thanks for all the helpful info! :)

Found your channel today, hopefully with the information I'm gleaning from you I'll finally be able to video my indigo vats as they go into solution!

Unbelievable.. as I was going online shopping for modifiers, dang! Joanie has a super helpful video for that ☺️

Thank you, Joanie. I use the Glow EZ Lock with an adapter for use with Profoto B10. It's a great softbox!

You are an absolute joy to watch and listen to. I just found you so maybe you have this, but Do you have a video or, if not, could you make one on like a “starter pack” for a first time small business owner looking to photograph their own food? So maybe like if this beginner can only buy one of each category what would your recommendations be for: lens, backdrop set up, lighting set up, etc. for like the bare minimum and then maybe at the end throw in some splurges a first timer could get if able. 😅 I’m trying to take notes on multiple more in depth videos of each of those categories you have but I tend to want *the best* so maybe an “all-in-one stop shop” type video of the bare minimum/essentials to buy to accomplish professional look at a reasonable cost to market a small business. Thank you for your knowledge! I’ll continue my binge watching of your content now 😂

I love all your work and how you master lighting. I wish you could activate the subtitles, since I know very little English, but I can't.
