Thanks for this, its great, so easy to understand and see the results. Umm, so now how/why do I use the light modifiers that came with my lighting kit?

This gave me a better understanding on how to move lights around to get the effect you needs for your portrait

[emanuelbief]

I love the look of those old cd covers with direct flash because it removes all the texture as well as on a sunny day it's easy to reflect that light from anywhere

Hey Vanessa, I have watched this video a few times I really like it, I think it is very informative in regards to light placement & effect. I love the way you move describe, move the light around and show us the effect, super stuff! Actually sometimes I stand while holding the camera in front of me and start moving in the direction of a 360 to find what I think is the best lighting.

I would be cool to actually see your studio light set up since you lighting is ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!!

Do you teach classes in person in different locations? Vancouver, CANADA we need you here.

Is it seemingly spooky that you have a model in this video that looks exactly like a young Jane Birkin; the day after she died 😮😮😮😮
