@dvdragon The backdrop is standard 9' Seamless paper made by Savage. It can be ordered by BH Photo, but I imagine the shipping is very high.

Thank you so much for this upload.
I found it very educational.
It would have been nice if you could have shown us what the photos looked like that were taken you stupid bastard

@Ariellex0 I'm not stupid. I'm not a bastard either. I loved my father. He served in the Korean War.
There isn't much point in showing photos in a video like this. The look of a photo is created more by the light modifier used, not the strobe inside the modifier. For example, whether you use a hotlight or a strobe inside a softbox its going to look pretty much the same. The real difference is you shoot differently when using hot lights and strobes and that is what the video details.

I like your stand for the backdrop. Very unobtrusive. Did you get that from B&H? I have 10' ceilings

Quite shocking. At 4'28 you say there are problems with using hot lights that they have no flexibility yet at 6'48 you move the hot light and say its an advantage as you can put the light right where you want it and see what you are getting. That could have been done when the hot light was behind her.Big contradiction here.

@danielhicksnz Nothing shocking or contradictory. Video wasn't scripted so some of my language may be confusing, however the 2 statements stand as true.
1) Hot lights are extremely limiting in that you have no power settings. They are always full power and sometimes this forces you to put a light a certain distance from the subject.
2) Hot lights are great in that you can see the actual light on the subject and this makes it easy to see exactly where your shadows are falling.
