Great video! What is that remote looking thing on your camera? What does that control?

[FontanaKnowledge]

@IPOXstudios It is a radio control to make the flashes fire.

Just goes to show that the equipment doesn't make the photographer. I couldn't make it through the tutorial because the shots that were inserted were ' less than OK'... I am sure that there are couch photographers that find this informative... and that's OK too.

[FontanaKnowledge]

These are very basic and "safe" shots to teach the basics of studio lighting. I will be getting a little more fancy pants in future videos.

The images are also not shopped in any way for this tutorial which can lead to sub par final images but this video is more about very basic lighting not amazing final images.

Nice vid. Fontana do you have a flickr page?

[FontanaKnowledge]

Not quite yet but I am working on it

verandagril38, if you dont agree, make your own video and teach, this is just one point of view to teach people that are new to the field, not to offer a degree in photography. Put your money where your mouth is and show us something "Spectacular" I like the teaching style, keeps me coming back for more, not the dull mundane teaching style that many are used to. You take out of it what you want...

One question please. Why don't you get lower to your subject mid level? Its just me or pictures look like they are made from the above?

Thanks for sharing your advices.

@FontanaKnowledge, excellent videos you have here... I love them! Just a question regarding the background lights. Is one lighting sufficient enough to get a solid white background? And is a 75 watts enough for that effect? Thanks!

Im just starting out taking photos and I've learned alot from your vids. Its unfortunate that you haven't made any since 2010. Im pretty sure your a whole lot better now. What's the deal?

BTW, I love the squish your head tip. It really works!!

Thanks for the tutorial. I've been working with available light for so long because studio lighting had me daunted. Too many thin and motion-blurred negatives (why is it so hard to get your subject to sit still for a second?) and now its time for me to dive in to some proper lighting... thanks for helping me off the ground.

Hey Robert,

Thanks for the vids. I thought I knew a lot about photography until I started watching these.

Question: You use soft boxes in your shoot but would using an umbrella make any difference??
