The lights are called modelling lights they just give you an idea where the actual flash will fall ...it automatically turns off when the flash fires...

hey, do you use matrix or spot meting in the camera menu or doesn't it matter on this style of photography because i don't see any diffrence ?

I have a nikon D70s with 18-70 3.5 but i cant get the right foto's

it looks even worse then a new compact camera ??

is it the lens ... ?

Are foto's so much better with a lens of 2.8 f

am saving for the 50 mm 1.4 and hope the pictures are going to be better !

thanks

@Megasromanos

Matrix & spot metering are only valid outside, use Matrix for general photography and spot when you know exactly what you are doing. The 18-70 3.5 is a good but budget lens, all kit lenses are best at middle apertures, f5.6, f8 and f11, use the lowest ISO setting that the light allows.

Thank you for posting these. I completely forgot about clam-shell lighting because I'm out of practice. These videos are a great refresher! They also make me want to buy the D1 Air Kit.

I don't understand the flash--aren't the spots providing all the light?

[profotovids]

@faerthen The lights used to create the still images were the D1 flash units shown in the video. Other lighting that appears was used only for the video production

Troll. Haha, its not easy to be a model. Posing is actually pretty hard. I've gone through several models as well as just everyday people, and you really will appreciate a model with experience.

Whats not hard is going on youtube and writing negative comments.

@xxmortimerxx I think she does a great job at posing, but she makes a few smirks and eyerolls (like at 1:37) throughout this D1 series that can be interpreted as typical stuck up model behaviour. Who knows.
