Hair photos with Toni&Guy - shoot for the awards

[adhamyaadham]

Hi :) I'm somehow new in studio photography, so bare with me a bit :)

have two questions:

1-in the setup for this photo, is there speedlight used on the camera itself?

2-the umbrella above the model, why there is a continues light coming out of it, isn't this a speedlight?

thank you :)

I recently found your videos which are very useful and lots of fun to watch.

Just out of interest, why don't you show the flash on camera and its output power in your diagram?? Nearly every video I have seen so far does not include it or the settings.

hi in the umbrella light what do use is that a bulb? very nice video...hoping for your reply soon...

thanks God Bless...

[noonchaka]

[tomtafola]

[stubones]

[montsrubi]

[dirttydogg1]

hi love the tuturials, real help. I noticed you use a lap top.......nice touch, as you can see in bigger format the results. apart from a lap top what other bits would i need to use this ie cables wireless?

many thanks david.UK

[mehtasahil22]

This is great.. I will be using a very similar set-up next week minus the background flash as I have just one flash.

Thanks Guys.. Watching this video has been very informational.

nice work and fun

[teddyarago]

simply amazing

[acheb1]

i love your work!

[acheb1]

your doing good work...thank you!

[spalonnatura1]

Thank you, your videos are so full of information, I need to start taking notes!

[702Arts]

I can't thank you enough for your incredible video tutorials. I like to think of myself as an AOV trying to find my way in photography. I have doubts like everyone, and your videos have helped me feel more confident and want to continue making beautiful images. In this video what size shoot thru umbrella do you use, and do you prefer a particular speed light for most of your work? Best regards, Brad

[rcxotic1]

I am going to try this today!

[asphaltoll]

I noticed that in your diagram the flash unit mounted on the camera is not drawn. Are you using this unit just to fire the pre-flash in order to control the other two? Please explain. Another thing you might consider in other videos is increasing a little bit the font size of the legends in your drawings.

My favorite subject to shoot is faces. I did not know that a head of hair and removing the close-ess could be so striking and glamorous. And the swirling hair with no view to the eyes was marvelous...who knew? Again, thank you for the small details you mention in your videos.

[barant1]

amazing tips, shooting a hair show tomorrow!

[davewhits]

On this shoot did the 'on camera' flash fire to affect the shot?

[Pur3Kiwi]

Another great video , i have one question tho on the preview photos we see how much post production work has gone into them ie PhotoShoped

[mindyvisa]

you are awesome! please keep making these fantastic tutorials for us! I love the way you explain everything and the diagrams are perfect :)

[FreePhotographyTips]

@mindyvisa Thank you so much for your kind words!

[renilicious]

Thanks so much for your videos, Michael. You explain everything so well! Even a light newbie like me can manage to figure it out. :)

[FreePhotographyTips]

@renilicious Thank you! That's really motivating for me!

[quicksilver19tv]

I'm a big fan of your work, please keep it up. 1 question , apart from ur speed lights, did u use continues/modeling light?

[FreePhotographyTips]

@quicksilver19tv Thank you! No, I did not have a modelling light. It might look like that in the vid because there is a lamp under the ceiling pretty much where the umbrella is. But in reality that's not working at all as a modelling light.

[RaphaelBenDor]

nice work! good luck!

[FreePhotographyTips]

@RaphaelBenDor Thank you, Raphael! Yes, we will need some luck!

[mike194443]

[jademartin84]

Fantastic! I have an assignment coming up soon where I'll be photographing the work of some student hairdressers. I'm going to attempt your set up.

Thank you so much!!!

[FreePhotographyTips]

@jademartin84 Awesome Jade! Please share your results with us! Probably post a link on the SmokingStrobes blog

[slimnupe4]

Hey quick question your diagram had two lights but it looks like the one on your camera is going off

[FreePhotographyTips]

@slimnupe4 The flash on camera just triggers the other two flashes. It does not contribute to the exposure.

[karenicy]

that is just simply beautiful!

[FreePhotographyTips]

@karenicy Thanks for the compliment

[juliosenefranca]

fantastic: simple and efficient

[FreePhotographyTips]

@juliosenefranca Yes, I love to keep my shoots simple - otherwise I'd messe them up anyway :-)

[lopezae33]

[FreePhotographyTips]

@lopezae33 Hahaha, I don't think it's great, but please keep on saying things like that - I'm loving it!
