How to Photograph a Model: Photo Studio Tips : How to Use Studio Flash for Photo Shoot

[95kate17ah]

is it me or does this guy shave his arms?

[ildiclaudia]

Thank you Rob for these videos, they are really really helpfull. as for these who think they know it better, how come they aren't up there doing it themselves? Keep these videos coming

[slikmastah]

good thing for that switch cause you'd be screwed with your "equation"

[lambeertje2]

Expert?! No way!

If you want to sculpt the planes of the face use a relatively hard key light and a very large soft fill light to manipulate the lighting ratio. Too many people are attempting to sculpt using a diffused key light and the result is generally a lifeless rendition with low micro contrast.

good tips!

[MarcoVallentin]

TRULY an "expert" !!!

[ZioZambe]

You're TRULY an idiot.

He said a lot of correct and useful things. In 2 mins he explained why and how to avoid lighting the subject evenly on both sides, gave a basic idea of what do you mean by "stops", and gave an important tip on how to move the light to compensate. These are the basics to approach studio photography correctly.

I have to admit though that the inverse square law doesn't work like that: if you double the distance you'll have not 1/2 but 1/4 of the power you had.

thanks for sharing

[KRSchannel]

fucken hate these ads...

[guydownthestret4]

the distance is wrong. inverse square law states that doubling the distance will give you 1/4 the power previously, but by doing the math if you move 40% farther you will lose 1/2 the power just like f stops. 2.8x1.4 = 4.0 etc... this dude just takes pictures and plays with lights.

[tropicallanterns]

I'm going to go ahead and give you a thumbs down (not that it really matters anyway), but you're right, his distance mathematics are off. However, you didn't have to be judgmental of his expertise, after all, in reality photography IS taking pictures and playing with lighting, not meticulous mathematics and physics--but you tried to make the man sound like a joke and I hope that if you're in the photography field, that you gain a more professional approach to criticism and correction =/

[LORDOFDASITH]

what ever happened to the inverse square law ?

[kluzz]

Hehe, it's still the same, but the guy in the video doesn't seem to know about it. :-)

[c1rcu1tn3rd]

Exactly what I was thinking about.

[tschobbu]

What a wrong statement here...

Each time you double the distance, you quarter the amount of light getting on the model, not half. That's basic physics, guys!

[iggie950]

good...school is on....oh wait... wasn't it about photography??

[54spiritedwill54]

Very good!

[FlowingGeisha]

What's the black tool with a roller ball on the top and placed in front of the model before the actual photo taking?

[maxbarros]

photometer

[PartTimePhotography]

Good stuff - I'll pass this along to all my newsletter subscribers.

[mightymike1988]

you were wrong about the light fall off - it's inversely proportional to the square, not proportional!

[adickted2]

Lighting is much better in this vs prior videos

[policeNerD]

Thanks for this ! :)

[SHAGERLANDY]

Yep, plecavalier (inverse-square law)

why did a professional not know that?

[McGuywer]

Well, he probably work more with trial and error.

[plecavalier]

The intensity of the light is inversely proportional to the square of the distance.  You double the distance, the light intensity is decreased by a factor of four or two stops.

please do some more

great video, thank you

[mungkey]

Very good! Please create more videos.
