FASHION PHOTO SHOOT WITH MODEL ON THE BEACH

[mumbaiprincess1]

2:47 JUST WOW O.O

[carnalhernan]

la modelo lo hace bien, pero cuando editan las fotos sale asta las WEBAS

[teenapelech]

love your work!!

[PoesKlap133]

Natalia Taffarel biggest retoucher in the game, look at her work! Id kill to have her knowledge! I spend atleast 8 hrs + on certain pieces of work!

[PoesKlap133]

And besides this isnt even HDR!

[MakeMeLaughHaHa]

@PoesKlap133 this has an HDR feel to it. i wouldn't classify this as true HDR. this is just brilliant post processing. any1 who thinks u can achieve these results straight from the camera is out of their mind. I shoot w/some of the best gear (canon 5dm2, canon 24-70 f/2,8 L, profoto strobes), yet i still can not achieve these results. every photo published in a fashion magazine or any billboard or any advertisement relies on much post work to look polished and presentable. ask david la chepelle.

[boxofdeadhippies]

little too much contrast in the edit for my liking..

[Peichen01]

The weather sure looks cold. Love the HDR photos out of camera.

[popovskipredrag]

I like the lighting , however i do not understand why did you put second light next to de beauty dish at the same angle ?

[DollFacePookie]

what combination of lighting and camera settings do you use?

i always end up having a low ISO to avoid grain, a nice big aperture, and i put my flashes really bright to just overpower all the other light. i like the way my images come out, i just think i could probably find a better way of preserving battery power and not blinding my models

[PoesKlap133]

@DollFacePookie you just gona cook your flash tubes sooner than later! Shoot on 400 iso (Grain is barely even noticeable) Fastest shutter sync speed, flashes on half power and use the aperture to control flash intensity! <--- thats just a guide line more or less so you preserve your flash tubes and models eye sight! :)

[PoesKlap133]

@DollFacePookie Also depends on shooting indoors and in studio, i love studio!

[barbi1258]

Who can identify the type of lighting equipment he is using? Also, could it be connected to a portable generator? Arthur, you have everyone wondering about your post-processing techniques. Write a book - you would make millions!

[motivatdguy2000]

@barbi1258 It looks like he's just using 2 light sources -- One studio strobe with a beauty dish attached -- One smaller strobe (Nikon SB700 or maybe Canon 580EXii?) firing into an umbrella. -- And he's got some pocket wizards to wirelessly control his strobes. He seems to be using some HDR effects in post. He's getting some great shots using very little equipment on location. Having two assistants is also a MAJOR benefit. Hope this helps you out!

[PoesKlap133]

@motivatdguy2000 its not HDR dipshit!

[motivatdguy2000]

@PoesKlap133 You're a idiot. Do humanity a favor and go play in traffic.

[PoesKlap133]

@motivatdguy2000 And explain where you see speed lights?????

[metronomic1]

@barbi1258 This stuff is powered by battery packs and there is almost no post processing done. When using strobes properly this is what you get straight out of camera.

[PoesKlap133]

@metronomic1 Are you on drugs? No post? hahaha whatever!

[metronomic1]

@PoesKlap133 When using strobes and proper exposure ZERO post is necessary. ZERO.

[PoesKlap133]

@metronomic1 Sure thing, ive only been a retoucher for 4 years! I must not know what im talking about, silly me!

[metronomic1]

@PoesKlap133 Professional retoucher? So in other words you fix incompetent photographers mistakes. If you get it right in-camera, no retouching is necessary.

[notfromchicago12]

@metronomic1 so, what are you made of then? what are your profession? how much do you know in the subject? why call out everyone as "sucking" if you have nothing to back it up? just makes me a bit questioning when you put things out like this.

[metronomic1]

@notfromchicago12 I'm a photographer with a BFA in photography. Dumbfuck.

[notfromchicago12]

@metronomic1 okay, can you show me some of your works? just intrested, thats all, you do not have to be so harsh.

[MakeMeLaughHaHa]

@notfromchicago12 i agree with you. metronomic1 has not class. just hates on people. a big talker. he has a BFA in photography but can not show us his work. just a big talker. all bark and no bite. hiding behind a screen name. show us images that are perfect and published without post processing (high fashion glamour models). maybe you should contact Playboy, or Maxim, or Vogue, or GQ, or Elle, or designers and ask them if they accept RAW unprocessed images. they will probably laugh at you.

[MakeMeLaughHaHa]

@metronomic1 you are wrong, again. NO PHOTO IS PERFECT STRAIGHT FROM CAMERA - - Every Image needs some type of post processing.. EVERY. if you are so confident that a good photographer can create amazing results just out of camera, show me examples.. show me your work since you seem to know so much, you're so confident, show me the photos you take. just curious. you seem to talk so big and know so much, yet have nothing to back it up with. just putting people down. does that make you feel good?

[MakeMeLaughHaHa]

@metronomic1 contact all the major magazines/designers, ask them if their images are edited or raw from the camera. they hire the best photographers such as annie lebowitz and david la chepelle.. their works are all post processed. look at joel grimes, award winning photographer, his work is all post processed. he even has a video on here that shows how he changes backgrounds and manipulates photos. post processing is part of our society now. those that hate on it are the ones that can't do it.

[mattemus2006]

@MakeMeLaughHaHa i dont h8 it i love it! just cant seem to find the right videos to learn :( 

[PoesKlap133]

@metronomic1 Im not even going to argue because its pretty clear you know nothing! If you got a BFA why the fuck are you watching this then? you should be so busy and pretty much shooting atleast 4 times a week and the rest of your time in post! Get real, you just a wannabe!

With that lighting setup its pretty much impossible to acheive that look in camera, hahaha, shoot raw and then post! Ive never ever heard of anything being untouched these days, this is heavily retouched!!!

[mattemus2006]

@PoesKlap133 its a shame its so heavily retouched as the final shot looks really good and as a noob at photography we got a lota practice to do! ;p;

[PoesKlap133]

@metronomic1 go to modelbase.co.za and look at some of my older stuff my page number is MB#: 22252

[MakeMeLaughHaHa]

@metronomic1 i dont agree with this whatsoeever... even if you have the best camera, the best lens, the best strobes, the best make-up, the best skin, every photo needs re-touching and editing. i shoot with profoto strobes (the best), i have a canon 5d mark 2 (considered 1 of the best - full frame 21 megapixel cameras) - i have all canon "L" lenses... i hire the best make-up artists, i shoot on full manual. yet i still can not achieve the results seen in this video. post production is necessary

[metronomic1]

@MakeMeLaughHaHa Maybe you just suck as a photographer then. All the expensive equipment in the world cant fix that.

[MakeMeLaughHaHa]

@metronomic1 you have no class. you're a hater. all you do is hate. karma's a bitch and will come right back to you.

[PoesKlap133]

@metronomic1 Wheres your work?

[GmodNerdz]

what's the music?

[cifcap9]

Great behind the scenes clip, beautiful model, KILLER, location, and overall nice work (a little heavy on the smooth skin for my tastes). That said I would outsource the post production. I would much rather spend hours shooting than sitting in front of an LCD.

[MobiusCoin]

wtf... I demand for you to explain the lighting set up and your post-processing methods!

[LucidLiver]

@MobiusCoin It would appear to me that the lighting setup= "Whatever works" and the post production was different for ever image. They weren't a consistent set in terms of the "look". Other than that I thought it was cool.

[JamesFreeman86]

Why does everyone insist on asking about the lens that was used? What does that have anything to do with these images. This is a great video but the questions should be about what editing technics were used. I'm 100000% positive I have a better lens in my bag than what he used here but would never be able to get those shots since they are dependent on PS rather than natural raw style of photos

[QuantumEra]

@JamesFreeman86 There is no "better" lens. All lenses were created for a purpose. The lens he is utilizing seems to fit his needs for the shoot quite well. Thus there is no "better" lens.

[JamesFreeman86]

@QuantumEra There is a such thing as a "better" lens. I am a VERY established magazine photographer and know from experience.You can shoot the same exact shot with the exact spec lens with lets say a Sigma and a Nikkor lens and see different in quality. Better glass = Better glass. Still doubt it? Go buy a Bower 17-120 and a Nikkor 17-120 and see which one gets you a better shot.

[QuantumEra]

@JamesFreeman86 Another magazine photographer I see. Its quite obvious a Nikon o a Canon lens would destroy for instance a Rokinon but in this case of the video he was either using a nikon or canon lens. I see your point however.

[potentinhibitor]

@JamesFreeman86 Better equipment doesn't make a better photographer. I love how everyone hates on people that are actually successful. This guy has done several shoots for a lot of mags and retailers. He knows what he is doing and what to use to get the shot he is looking for. PS can't do everything. You have to start with a good base to end up with quality in PS. There is an art to PS just as there is an art to shooting.

[javierlocutor]

@potentinhibitor Better equipment doesnt make anybody better photographer but it makes you achieve better shots if you know how to use it, otherwise we wouldnt see EVERY photographer using lots of gear but instead they would use ONLY cams. On low light conditions, you cant do the same job with camera only than if you would have at least one off-camera flash, but I agree w/y about starting with good base.

[Sonnys502]

Great post work, love it. Photo shoot is awesome!

[MrJanreiner]

good day sir..

i would like to ask what is your work flow in your post processing..

it's really amazing..

or can u give me some link for the editing tutorial..

thanks sir..

[hpept]

lenses? lights? I think you could shoot that model through a glass bottom and the result would be excellent! Gorgeous woman!

[octap79]

what the fcuk with the questions asking about the lens he uses? Has this anything to do with the result? wake up. As most of you asking I guess you are amateurs...the most important thing that makes the difference in this shooting is the powerful lights......

[skyxwalker]

GREAT JOB.....may I ask what lens u were using?

[nanette70h]

id love to see before and afters ps/lr. and know what you tweaked or what presets ur using!

[gorringeman]

i'd have just taken loads of shots of her ass for a good finger shuffle when i got home

[mitsubishidiamante]

nice work man. 

[taweesinr]

Song: Kaskade & Adam K feat. Sunsun - Raining (Extended Mix)

[usmanikhan]

any idea on which lens it is he's using?

[JAVIESWAVIE]

AMAZING PHOTOS.. BRO KEEP IT GOING

[photobyjewell1987]

AMAZING VIDEO LOVE THE MODEL AND THE BEACH LOCATION AMAZING SHOOTS I WAS WONDERING WHAT KIND OF SLR AND SETTING DID YOU SHOOT THAT SEEN WITH

[vicsweet92]

Im curious..what kind of lens did you use for these portraits ?

[tydusphotography]

awesome shots. too bad im not even near the ocean LOL.

[tHisB3MeE]

A hell of a lot of airbrushing on the final product but it looks amazing (:

[arusek74]

This is not only working technical photography.

[salvoabc]

troppo photoshop

[stmahlberg]

Incredible work.

[kartela100]

SHE IS HOT

[pichamuna]

wow, your pictures are amazing..

[mrbullfinch]

some great shots there !

[ManosNY]

Colors are amazing!!!

[KastroThaDon]

What lens is he using? 24-70?

[moemoehk]

boring

[ShannuhHeartbreakk]

I love the lighting/photography style. The model is beautiful as well but her underwear doesn't match the bra (i'm aware they are both leopard print but the print sizing/colors/hot pink distracts from the beauty of the print on the bra) and it kind of takes away from the picture.

[AmyLeeSwanson]

Perfect Photography.

[pluga]

Nice work. As soon as I get my lights thats the type of work I like to do. Keep up the good work.

[StayMagic]

seems to be a lot of Post work ..

[TheGollyWally]

Gotta love the beauty dish... Your post work is top notch. Inspirational.

[prmass1]

great video guys

[erics1959]

Simple way.....meter for the ambient light , then underexpose by 2 stops. Adjust you flash output power or distance to properly expose for the model without changing you exposure settings. A general rule of thumb when combining ambient light with a flash is : shutter speed controls the ambient light, aperature controls amount of exposure from the flash.

[msksulee]

What lens do you use, if I may ask? =)

[chanellie555]

Dear Arthur. You are incredible :) I would love to know what equipment you use :)

[phirepix]

once again, another great video. My question, photo fans can run you 1 to 2 grand, your using the same fan I got at Lowes. Are you running it from a genset, vagabond or 2500' power cord, do to your location?

[janjan10822289]

great photograph :) love the model, your photographs inspires me to take more photographs :)

[f0t0b0y]

If you dialed back the filter on her skin it would looks so much better.

[Alicialei03]

outstanding photography.

[ptlofts]

I guess you dont need to be a good photographer at all if you are an expert with CS5.

[ELKARASUCIA]

@ptlofts well..... you got to have a diamond in order to have a good ring, right? same principle applies here, you got to have a good image and then polished up in Photoshop if you want, Photoshop ain't going to take an image

[Ifonlyicouldsing1]

the end photos look absolutley gorgous! wow, wish i could edit like that

[marcmc1666]

Song?



[MSCSphoto]

She looks awesome wearing the strip light soft box grid for her last outfit.... LOL just kidding .... Great photos ...

[vatansalvery]

What is the point to shoot at beach? All images look like taken in the studio.

[ELKARASUCIA]

@vatansalvery If you are close to the beach, why not do it on location?, if you want to do it in a studio that's fine, be ready to spend some money on backgrounds and lights its much easier to control that on location

[simonjeacle]

Stills are great, video is badly shot and meaningless nonsense

[pjaylett]

I'm not sure what we are supposed to learn from this.

[leydestunt]

I admire the work:)!

 What's that song? I really like

[ptlofts]

is the roadside part of the beach? :)

[magazinephotoshoot]

truly inspiring work.

[143eyeLoveYou]

this is to die for... just perfection in every way. wow.

[ebnx538]

love the concept.

[atoproducer]

truly extraordinary video.

[OfficialPolkaDot]

hey just a quick question how do you make those colors like well intensifie the colors

i have no idea how to do

anybody out there that wants to help a noob!

[arthurstjohn]

@OfficialPolkaDot hours and hours on photoshop.

[OfficialPolkaDot]

@arthurstjohn lol but no really if you know please tell me, i use photoshop but im more of a video guy so i dont use photoshop a lot but im familiar with the basics please help!

[catalin205]

@arthurstjohn more like, minutes!

[q123ert]

@arthurstjohn

Yeah hours,days and months on photoshop.We like to see the original pictures!

[crowinarow]

@arthurstjohn Yup. I spend hours on one photo, and still don't quite get that effect! lol

[timaquin1]

@arthurstjohn hours and hours? what about actions? you can do your own and save hours and hours XD congrats!!!

[mamusa70]

@OfficialPolkaDot underespose at least one stop the ambience light...

[cre8tivity06]

@OfficialPolkaDot Is there a youtube "How To" video that explains how to get pics to look like this by using photoshop? I have been asking this same question for a while now and can't seem to get my images to have that "pop" that i see in a lot of these videos.

[ELKARASUCIA]

@cre8tivity06 First of all you got to fine tune color balance in Photoshop, its basic

[tvi3t43v3r]

@OfficialPolkaDot Use Topaz filter

[ELKARASUCIA]

@OfficialPolkaDot. If you want to make the colors richer in the background, you exposed for the flash lights, and underexposed the background (ambient light) how to do it? lets say your exposure for ambient light is F16 @125 ISO 100 If you make your flash to be F22 @125 well, you already are under exposing the background by 1F stop and if you increase the flash sinc speed to 250, well, your background will be under exposed by 2 full stops, practice, good luck

[XxDJCyberLoverxX]

@ELKARASUCIA Curious, would using an ND filter achieve the same effect, if you're running out of sync speed on your camera?

[ELKARASUCIA]

@XxDJCyberLoverxX No,not with the same camera settings, because a ND filter not only is going to alter your exposure in the back ground but also in the fore ground (the girl in this case), what you can do instead is to increase your flash power output if you are able to.

[zenithjcoke]

@ELKARASUCIA

Actually, if you're running out of sync speed on your camera amping up the flash alone wouldn't help since the background would remain the same. By using an ND filter to make all the light darker and THEN increase the flash to increase the flash to ambient ratio.

[mkashifqamar]

@OfficialPolkaDot hi dear would you Like to Learn How to get these type of Vibrant Colour I know how to..... Just Let me Know if you are Still there.........

[OfficialPolkaDot]

@mkashifqamar yeah im still here lol

[crowinarow]

@mkashifqamar you'd just better learn photoshop. That's where the finish work happens. No photographer is going to get those effect with a camera alone. I don't care what you shoot. I've got the 5d mk II with the 24-70 2.8. Not even close to looking like that from the camera.

[xposhr]

@crowinarow there is obviously post work on his stuff, but you can get it to look like that w/ out photoshop if you know how to light and use gels. having expensive equipment doesnt mean you know how to use it

[crowinarow]

@xposhr My good man, I'm not sure if you watched the video if you really believe someone can produce those effects without post production. No lights and gels are going to give you that effect. I'm sorry. If you think you can, or anyone has, matched something like this, then please post a link.

[reynardtcoza]

@OfficialPolkaDot You have three options mate.

1. LucisArt

2. Topaz Adjust

3. As @arthurstjohn said, ''hours and hours on photoshop''

[acierman7589261]

@OfficialPolkaDot ever try using the picnik editing tool on flickr dot com ? plenty of free tools to do it

[Axlcamachov]

@OfficialPolkaDot 20 min of lightroom and pro lighting, good optics plus sensor

[redcarpetphotography]

Arthur if you keep doing these breathtaking photo shoots I aint gonna have any air left to breath!

[ytwatcher123321]

Can someone tell me what kind of lighting he's using?

[arthurstjohn]

@ytwatcher123321 hensel integra 1000watt/sec monolights

[minimite312]

@arthurstjohn What is the ratio of the lighting between beauty dish and umbrella?

[ELKARASUCIA]

@ytwatcher123321 He is using two lights, one umbrella that will be the fill light, and the one that looks like a dish will be the main light, stop the video at 1:02 so you can see the set up main light will add harsh shadows to the subject that will be softened by the umbrella(fill light) you need to know the lighting ratio about 1 to 1/12 f stops between main and fill light

[TheGILBERTnetwork]

@ytwatcher123321 - does it matter?

[ytwatcher123321]

@TheGILBERTnetwork Uhm maybe cause I want to know cause I'm planning on becoming a photographer and wanted some tips? does it matter to you why I want to know?

[SoUThinkUCanModel]
