I liked the setup with the 2 softboxes a few feet in front of the model and the umbrella as a hair/separation light with you making the portrait from between the softboxes. Beautiful light Miguel. Your videos are very inspiring! Thank you.

Thank you for the video! Using the double Softboxes standing in between is also amazing adding a reflector underneigh!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, Very Thanks for all the videos over the Years

Sometimes I use a single large softbox right behind the subject instead of a white background, I get an even rim light effect as well as the white background, whilst the subject is light in various manners; beauty dish, v-flaps and reflector, more softboxes...

Great Job holding the camera #Muscles. lol I like these types of videos. Great deal of info without going overboard. Love that you left skin natural. One of the hardest thing to get through to students is that you won't have to spend so much time on the skin in post if you just light correctly.
