My Favorite Gel Photography Color Combination | Inside Fashion & Beauty Photography w/ Lindsay Adler

- Color gel photography is a powerful way to direct the eye and create emotion. But how do you choose the right color combinations?
In this video, I share one of my favorite color combinations: Blue/Violet and Yellow/Orange. This color combo is powerful because it creates an epic pop and contrast--the complementary colors and warm/cold mix allow the image to jump off the page. Furthermore, this color combination feels very cinematic and 'heroic' because it is a common color scheme for superhero movie posters!
For this setup I used 3 Lights (Profoto D2s):
Light 1: Profoto Beauty Dish + Grid + Blue Gel
Light 2&3: Profoto 1x4ft Strip Softboxes + Grid + Yellow/Straw Gel
We used a single piece of fabric to sculpt an elegant, eye-catchlight shape around my subject. Notice in the results how the subject's skin takes on a liquid/metallic look and the warm light carves out the edges of her profile for a truly bold result.

Awesome shoot. Love the look. Notice you explain everything and credit the creative team, but where is the Model info? Would love to know who you use for that as well?
She gets tagged in my instagram. If you visit IG you can find the links. @lindsayadler_photo
Very cool
Awesome work Linday!... a question please... How do you sculpt that fabric to stay in position around your model please?
this is epic
😍
Where can I get that lightstand you use for your main light?
OH Lindsay, you're images are so fine
They're so fine they blow my mind, hey Lindsay,
Hey Lindsay
:P
lolo. Thanks Ivan... that was "terrible". :D
How do you get your camera to focus with such low lighting when you use only gels?
Also is the beauty dish using that strobe not always on like the strip boxes? Also where is the stand to hold the beauty dish in the link description? Is it just a remote flash that fits in the beauty dish? Then do the strip boxes just run a constant light with a yellow gel filter?
There is no constant light used in the images created. What you are seeing is the modeling light
I just bought some Jake Hicks gel packs and looking forward to using them when I can get back into the studio
Is her makeup in the shades of blues as well?
Nope, no blue. all regular.
@@lindsayadlerphoto thank you😊
Are the strips double diffused?
Thanks for teaching us...wonderful colors combination. However, did you forgot to introduce the model or mention her name below the video. ?
Its in my instagram-- @lindsayadler_photo you can go check the links to it there
How to get this Colour Wheel? Any Downloable File?
I know that if you Google 'color wheel' you can see many varieties right on your screen, and also buy one inexpensive from Amazon and such.... I bought one at a local art store.
Could continuous lighting with gels still be effective?
Yes but you are going to have to crank that iso open up your aperture. Some people combine strobe and continuous to get some blurred motion
What use white balance in camera?
She's not even shooting into-camera. She's shooting tethered. The white balance is creatively adjusted on the computer while she's shooting. The default is always Flash white balance unless she wants to shift to to blue and changes to Tungsten.
@@longliveclassicmusic Correcto! But the white balance was flash, and then mildly tweaked.
Why don’t you share with us your camera settings and your flash power settings?
Because its largely not important. She would have to provide you distance, light model and watt seconds, gell type, modifier info. Lens and camera combo and settings.
It just does not translate to someone else with different gear.
In the studio she always shoots at ISO 200, 1/200th of a second, and f/8 or f/11. A hundred percent of the time. That's why it's completely irrelevant. Because every image in her portfolio is wildly different but using the same camera settings. Why not listen to what she's teaching and knows from experience is actually important instead of criticizing her based on what you think she should be teaching?
Exactly what Richard says! I have a video about this coming out pretty soon
@@longliveclassicmusic Exactly!!! :D
But I don’t see the strip or grid for sale placed on the strip boxes that are yellow. (Basically I don’t see a grid for sale)
Just get any strip box. No point her listing a Profoto stripbox if you are using another brand with incompatible mount
