thanks for the info... i am brand new at this and it was perfectly explained...

From my own experience, the best position for the fill is coming from the camera position. I achieve this by either flashing a strobe pointing backwards against a white wall behind the photographer or by using a huge front firing 7' umbrella placed directly behind the photographer. The idea is to get very soft diffused light to fill ALL the shadows seen by the camera. The position of your fill light, and the small size of the fill light itself, will not achieve this IMHO.

Great instruction!! Keep it up

[hendejm]

You guys have some very good information but you seem to be presenting it as though your audience was comprised of 6 yr. old children. You passion is NOT coming thru. I would love to learn more about photography but i need to feel the excitement in the presentation.

[acoleman3299]

Thanks for the comments, Hendejm! As far as the presentation, we never assume, as educators, that everyone can understand technical terms/ language. Therefore we try to simplified instructions as much as possible were a 6 yr old can understand. It makes learning and understanding that much easier for some people. Thanks again for the comments!!

@acoleman3299 Hey I love the way you teach. You can't always assumme everyone knows. If someone is more advanced , they have the option to channel in on more advanced information. I've been shooting for along time and need more focus on lighting. Thanks.

[jeselmira2]

@hendejm Actually, there is an important niche for instructional videos that assume nothing by way of audience knowledge.  There are other videos out there that assume way too much for many viewers. The 'see spot run' stuff is as useful to some as it its annoying to others.

[ancientalkebulan]

@hendejm i agree kinda weird...lol

[ancientalkebulan]

Respond to this video... but i have to agree it was very informative...

[MrsLola73]

Thank you for the lesson. I found it simple to understand. much appreciated... ;)

[AddictedToTheStones]

love it, thanks for the tips.....what camera setting to you use, and which kind of flash?.....if any flash?...thanks

[devarsi]

thank you for the video, just what I wanted to find out, but what is the strength of the lights each please?

[frankieboy180]

[deewonda1952]

Excellent beginner and refresher video! Basic, to the point, easy to duplicate! Great!!

[PryceMan]

Perfectly done for the beginneing portrait photographer...I got lot out of it.

[samdtang]

That was simple, short, straightforward & helpful. Challenging ppl to post their results=good idea. Flickr is a free photo-sharing community where u can get a lot of helpful feedback for those looking for it. Another type of "feedback" can be had from dreamstime, istock or other agencies. Ppl might not make a mint but it's fun to see cmts, views, sales counts, etc. I'm not affiliated with these and u can google 4 others. Just ideas of WHERE to post portraits, etc. & get fellow fotog feedback.

[frostygal143]

This was awesome and very helpful. I take head shot/portrait photos for a non-profit group every summer. I am quite the beginner so this information was very valuable. Thanks@
