THANKS SO MUCH FOR WATCHING!

Probably one of the most informative videos on lighting for beginners out there. And it doesn't require you to splurge on expensive equipment.

[marchinderickx]

I love the way you present things.
You don’t talk about your life during 10 minutes, drinking coffee, … It’s to the point, clear and with affordable gears. Great job!

[vladagorbounova]

Love the way you explain so easy to understand for someone who is not a native English speaker!

[aw]

Sheer genius for the hair light never seen that technique before. This video will help hundreds of beginner photographers or anyone who is on a budget from getting discouraged by thinking they need to have exspensive gear to create beautiful images. I have saved this video for a quick refresher for lighting when I need it. Many Many thanks!!!!

[powerforward]

One of the better portrait lighting tutorials using an umbrella--thanks a million. I always learn something useful from your videos/tutorials. Peace.

[naveenr]

Awesome, love the way you present, point to point in an simple manner, great to watch and learn

[VocalMabiMaple]

I needed to take a portrait shot for my mom on short notice, and I was able to recreate the set up I needed with a florescent light and white bed sheets using this knowledge! Thanks so much <3

[michaellitty]

Fantastic. I'm a videographer working in a very small studio. Most of the examples I see use huge lights, high ceilings, flags, add tons of gear to get the same look you achieve with efficient use of a single light in a small space. I'm going to adapt these portrait techniques for interviews.

[alisonsmith]

Great presentation. Simple and concise.

[AuraSantana]

Thank you thank you thank you, love the way you explain, point to point in an simple manner, great to watch, very helpful !

[alicemusa]

Very interesting, thank you for your video.

[EmmanuelOnitheoneandoni]

Absolutely outstanding!! I love it!! Plus, an affordable budget setup for beginners or pro

[terrysanders]

Covers a lot of ground in little time: the result of practical knowledge clearly demonstrated minus the bullsh*t and embarrassing self-promotion. Very well done

[Wakodaf]

great tips ! thank you i will definetly try this

[shanec]

The backlit shot was a little hot and would look better with dramatic feel or just less backlight amount. Adorama has the best instruction videos

[SkandaTejasw]

Thanks for this great little presentation!!

[ipedder]

Awesome 👍. I love your style... cool as Keep doing what you do man 👍

[Cookerab]

Anyone see how smooth he rolled that reflector up. That takes skill lol. Takes me 5 minutes every time.

[marktomphotography]

If you don't have reflectors or v-flats "Brooklyn reflectors" aka pizza boxes work as well ;) @lastxwitness

[throughmylenz]

Great video breaking down the setups. Thank you. Can you link the grip arm used in clamshell setup? looks like a matthews stand or is it Flashpoint? can you use arm on regular stand or only on c stand?
