I love this vid a lot! I'm still trying to get away from thinking what I like or what I'm doing is "wrong". This vid reassures me that sometimes something might not be wrong, just different!

20Deg. Grid + Diffusion at 3-6 feet feels like a great combo for me. Great information and content, thank you.

keep em coming! :D great video as always ️

I really like the diffusion+reflector combo look, i think it would be easier to manipulate the highlights and shadows in post, but then it's all a matter of style.

Great job man!! this is what we need to know about lighting!
Thank you so much!!

Thank you for all your videos, inspirations etc. I'm huge fan of yours! I discovered that grid with diffusion is the best setup for away shoots in restaurant etc. as I don't have to take any softbox, only very handy stuff as I use big 5 in 1 reflector/diffuser and not a rolled paper :D and the light quality is amazing!

Amazing work! So clean, easy and straight to the point with explaining everything in detail!!
