  • one thing, you took a full length shot of her in her all black outfit and the white background, but when you showed us the example its a white background but the model is mysteriously wearing a denim jacket, please teach me this trick i am no0t able to do such things with my camera!

  • @paulietang55 In 3 years you're only the second person to comment on the mixed up images.

  • Great tutorials. I would just like to know what would be the minimum size room to setup a studio to get a full size shot. Thank you.

  • @AnGkEr67 Hard to do in less then a 10x20 space

  • I'd use a reflector instead of the umbrella and used the umbrella to highlight her hair from the dark background.

    I'd also use a bigger apperture to blur the background, futher highlighting the subject thus making her stand out.

  • Not sure about the reflector and umbrella but it's worth a try.

  • Backdrop looks like hell

  • should you be using a white vinyl so theres no wrinkles??

  • Should you not have a light behind her to isolate her from the black background?

  • dont see the point of using the flash with the white back ground when you have white walls and window light.

    close the blinds would be the first tip i would give when creating dramatic portraiture shooting against a black back ground, second would be burn the muslin and by some paper back drops.

  • So what is good about this. TTL - why bother to use anything but a strobe on the camera. What is the value balance? Why two lights. You have said nothing to teach...

  • These vids deserve a better image quality.

    anyway, this is very useful info.
