Thank you JP! Great idea to explain light with live video instead of only shots. It makes it easy to understand!

Love the tennis balls in your light stands! Great video btw

[erasmogonzales]

JP, I’ve watched a lot of YouTube videos, to many really on light… they are all great teachers… I just always seem to find your videos more educational to my needs! My learning style … thank you good Sir.

[hermansurkis]

OK, that opening was really cool. I'm hooked, now I have to watch the rest.

[babymarshmello]

For me just watching these videos is the best prize I can get as I learn new techniques and more. Great teacher, mentor, and photographer. Keep it up.

[joshmilteer]

This video deserves more views!! Amazing demonstration.

[walteraddie]

Thanks for this video. I think it answers why I have not been quite satisfied with using gels. I was not factoring in the emotion aspect. I will now!

[drumman]

Well done. Clearly explained. Nice to see you go beyond the "how" but into the "why" you would use light in an expressive manner.

Another well scripted, properly presented tutorial that makes the point clearly and succinctly. Very attractive model with loads of personality, although she has difficulty looking evil (which is not a bad thing...) Point is, the model works well with the photographer to convey the point of the tutorial, matching her expression to narrative, effectively demonstrating each point. Thanks . JT

Great video as always. I loved the points of color and light relating to mood. Thank you JP!
