I have never been more overwhelmed thinking about lighting than I am right now after watching all these videos. LOL!

[TankTheSpank]

Honestly the LED + reflector example you briefly showed was better than the softbox in terms of getting details from the skin, and also being soft. Thank you

Ben, this was exactly what I needed and haven't found a good video explaining the difference between the two so well. Thanks for the info! 🙏

After searching for days, i can say, this video is the BEST guide about light. THANK YOU!!🤗🤗

[TheDenBarnwood]

Great video once again, I have followed through with your lighting videos in the past and find myself referring back to your content while I experiment with all the settings. Your honest insights are greatly appreciated!

Not to mention, there is 1 more type of light other than these 3.
The edge light. The edge light is basically a LED panel but with the LEDs on the edge of the light. This results in a softer light than LED panels with the LEDs right in front of you
A great example of a edge light is the Fotodiox Flapjack

Ben, thank you so much for your last live stream helping with me questions. I've started uploading again, my lighting has dome light, two front lights, and a backlight with blue color. Would've never been possible without your help and videos! If you wanted to maybe take a quick peek to critique the set up it would be an absolute blessing boss man! =)

You know how some women never appear in family photos because they’re taking them? It cracks me up that your wife has a huge spread of video of her sitting patiently waiting for you to finish a light demo.

Binging your videos trying to figure out what I need to do. Video idea if you need one - how you’d light both top down hands on a desk and also the persons face, to have two cameras recording a craft or art piece as well as a face cam. In a small desk, of course. I’m struggling to translate everything I’m learning.
