Lighting Setup for Posh Sculptural Full Lenght Photos

[hilmiii]

i just thought theri is no gravity effect on hair but on legs and arms. Good work. Thank you. 

[hilmiii]

falling effect? what about her hair?

[amanray]

@hilmiii I don' t see any problem in the hairs as they are attached

[tinotrivino]

I guess she is lesbian...

good video

[Bcordon]

oh my gosh you might be my new best friend!

[mokphoto]

it is very hard to get an audience on youtube especially for new channels.

although everyone is writing 'check out my channel', i think you should do that (i do that aswell) because the videos might be really good although no one is watching them.

so: check out my channel about photography and comedy!

If you think so too: thumps up! Thank you!

[goops2424]

Very helpful tips! Keep them coming! 

[comaltecos]

GOOD JOB.



[skeetddy]

YOU KNOW WHAT, I think that is is very cool to actually see someone out there just giving out tips to people!!! VERY COOL!!!

[gotrottin]

I didn't care for the way he sqwashed the models enthusiam in the beggining of the video. You can have all the money in the world for lights, but knowing how to handle people is a priceless gift.

[iamravenous]

@gotrottin What did he do, exactly? He was just playing around it looked to me.

[amalkadog]

Thanks fella. After a stressful w'end in the studio with 6 heads and minimal ventilation - you're video has returned the sanity to my sore brain. KISS for sure.

[luthorish]

how do you erase the rope from model legs on 2:52 photo? thanks...

[justride275]

@luthorish If you select them with the polygon lasso tool in photoshop cs5 then hit the delete key it will bring up an option to use content aware. It will delete them and just draw in the surrounding material around the strings. If I didn't do it that way then I would just duplicate the layer, delete them from one layer then merge. Just google content aware and it should be the first page by Adobe.

[therearetvs]

I like the way you teach! haha, nice special effects

[eddie918]

[EpicsodeOne]

Why can't I stop remembering Samurai Jack whenever I look at her!

[BuddLightbrain]

The model looks bored to tears while you are talking, it detracts from what is being said!

[paulosemifusa]

Beautiful girl...

[CaptBadazz]

Another fabulous tutorial!! These lighting set-ups ROCK! Thank You!

[treymix888]

I love the Glamour look you gave this video. With all the lights flashing, words popping, and lens flares. I also like the way you put Sasha the Model inside of a like flat screen monitor. Was kind of Video Editing program did you use to create these effects. Would love to hear from you.

[coreyg25]

is that see thru glass or a mirror on the ground?

[treymix888]

I absolutely love the Glamour look you gave this video!! With all the lights popping and flashing, lens flares, and words pulling in and out and everything. What kind of Video Editing Software did you use to create all this? Also love the way you put Sasha the Model inside of a Flat Screen monitor. Is this that After Effects software program?

That's a "Like" from me. :)

[FreePhotographyTips]

@_perzk: Yeah, I took a dive into Aftereffects. Is it too heavy handed? It's just sooo much fun to use all this shiny stuff :-)

[KeelerMediaGroup]

@FreePhotographyTips I use AE alot, lots of fun!!!...LOL and too easy to get carried away ;)

[ChristiaanL14]

@FreePhotographyTips looks cool man

[perzk]

Great video as allways Michael! And I see you really went all out with the video effects ;P

[JoTerified]

Awesome Michael! Thanks.

[biclar]

Awesome stuff!

[ELECTROSAL]

Fantastic Mike! Very helpful!

Are you based in Beijing? I'm moving there soon, would love to see you work! :D

[FreePhotographyTips]

@ELECTROSAL Moving to Beijing? Very good decision! It's an awesome city to live in. I am not based in BJ but I am there every now and then because I like it a lot.

[ELECTROSAL]

@FreePhotographyTips Yeah I know it's fantastic. I studied there for a whole year last year. I also shot some models there (just for fun), mostly in hotels, but also at 798, there is a great factory there. I was limited to one SB-600, so I used walls to bounce it to. I'm definitely going to try to do the hard light set up you showed in your other video. This one will be more difficult, because it requires 4 flashes. Maybe I'll rent a studio for a day. Shouldn't be that expensive in Beijing ;)
