You are a genius!

[PolkColorado]

Dom, great videos. Question for you, what are your ISO, F stop, and shutter speeds when you do these effects? I am having some trouble figuring this out. Thanks!

what are you using to trigger your flashes in this video?

[SuperBupi]

hi

i have a question =D

Do i have to have a white background (maybe white paper , like in professional studios ) , because you didnt use a white paper or something like this and it looks nice too =D

[YouAreDead77]

hey dom , can you make a video about your camera gear (what's in your camera bag) i would like to see it thx :)

[jonathan645169]

Hey Dom could you do a quick vid on how to darken the background using lightroom.

Many thanks

[Dombowerphoto]

@jonathan645169 i didnt use lightroom in this video just flash. check my video on low key lighting, check it on the blog

[deadkennedys909]

Seen your photoshop videos, you have alot of talent behind the camera and with editing! I have a question, do you only use photoshop? or do you use lightroom aswell? I used photoshop, then used lightroom and havn't really touched PS since. But that holding your head video was genius!

[Dombowerphoto]

@deadkennedys909 99percent is all adobe lightroom editing. photoshop and gimp is only for very rare occasions

[MidiMinded]

Hello.. GREAT VIDEOS... Thank you Thank you... I will be getting a camera soon.. Was wondering what kind you recommend.. Cannon or Nikon... And which model.. Thanks a million times once again!... Keep the videos coming! :)

[Dombowerphoto]

@MidiMinded really depends on your budget. my blog as a good bunch of links for you to search through for more details

[ruckowner]

Thanks Dom, I going to go practice!!

[cukixela]

I am learning and I think I am going to do a stupid question, but..anyways,... How do you focus yourself?? I mean, For me is not that easy, How do you do?

Sorry for my English.

Saludos desde España!!

[Dombowerphoto]

@cukixela stand with the camera and point it at my tripod then put the camera on the tripod and presto it is focused on where i stand

[spreepin]

Not just creative but nudistic flash portraits =) Thats what I care about!

[RobyllPhotos]

PUT _ ON _ A _ SHIRT !!! >.<

nice video :D

[TheGuyTakingPictures]

Hi Dom,

Do you use a gray card or histogram to set the correct exposure for portraits or do you just eyeball it?

Thanks.

[Dombowerphoto]

@TheGuyTakingPictures use eyeball on the screen after the shot. histogram is good, gray card is for getting your white balance not exposure

[ExportAli]

Awesome videos Dom. Really informative.

[GadgetAddicted]

Dom,

Fantastic video! I have questions! Firstly, I notice that you are not using pocket wizards or any remote flash triggers...how are you triggering the flashes then? I use a Canon 5D. Secondly, what settings are you using on your camera? i.e. shutter speed, aperture, iso etc... I love the fact that you don't let any ambient light in but I need to know what settings you are using. I'd appreciate your reply to this comment! Thanks so much!

[Dombowerphoto]

@GadgetAddicted settings are set high, so fast shutterspeed, small aperture so that there is no ambient light. i am setting the flashes off with nikon cls, canon doesnt have that

[johanneswingerlang]

Dom, you are making me wanna have flashes now!

[bundi3180]

Awesomely helpful Dom... Can't wait to try these out...

[asander127]
