That model, Eliana has a lazy eye that is perminately half closed. I asked her if she wanted me to photoshop her eye and she replied "but then it wouldent be me"...

Sure, if this wasnt a youtube video photoshoot, and if this video was called "check out worlds most perfect hot chicks and models" then yes, i may have corrected the eye before uploding, but its not.

whole point of this video is about being a strobist, lighting and equipment.

How many times did you say "here"? ^_^

Nice video BTW

[cabaran]

I counted 15 lol. Thanks :D

Sir you mean the SB 800 wont work in outdoor photoshoot? Tnx..

[cabaran]

The SB 800 is an excellent flash my friend. I was refering to using it with the SU-800 IR transmitter. It works good indoors, but outdoors it is not very good, because he invisible IR light cannot bounce off the walls

[qetuo99945]

woops, I meant how did you get the rear flash to fire

[cabaran]

Its all wireless using the nikon SU-800 commander. It uses IR to trigger the remote flashes. No sync cords, no radio, just IR. its good in small spaces like indoors as the signal can bounce off the walls, through transparent objects etc. Outdoors it cannot bounce hence it is less effective and does not fire. Its all cordless, he SU-800 does all the work

come on guys be nice. if you disagree, just move on. if you think this is beneath you, move on. I applaud his effort at sharing. if you think you can do better, then post a video that is better.

the results are fantastic....i like the background as well ...the red makes it even better..thanks for the vid...

[robertmroczek]

@cabaran just a piece of advice... having the smaller eye closer to the camera and the bigger further (i.e. pointing yr model the opposite way) might not make them look exactly the same but would surely help. also u could try shooting from a little lower position.

ps. love the lighting and the red background that greatly connected with her lip color.

goodluck

you fucking morons, nikon sucks ya know. canon 5d2 pawns that piece of shit

[azodyze]

@cabaran if you have to photoshop the girls eye to make her look better then photography aint your field

[jerrytoddphotography]

Is that a McDonalds sign in the window???

@cabaran

Are you using any Gel Filters like red,yellow etc in last shots. Moreover please tell me why many photographer don't use speedlights instead of Monolights like you are using? what are the pros and cons?
