- This modifier is more often than not overlooked. I have no idea why because it is one of my go to modifiers, the shoot through umbrella. In this video I go through the process of how I use it, together with one Speedlight to create amazing portraits in a small home studio.

Just something about me…
Since prior to my entry into the wedding industry, I have been considered to be one of the most reputable lighting specialists in the Philippines, conducting workshops nationwide and have been featured in various photography magazines. I was also a multi-awarded portrait and advertising photographer.
My expertise is in manipulating ambient and artificial light to create clean and classic photographs which naturally led me to the genre of portrait and wedding photography. Since then, I have shot numerous weddings locally and overseas exhibiting my signature style. - Zábava
Good job team, thanks for sharing
Great video!
Thanks, really helpful, will be trying this soon
I always enjoy your videos .Detailed and lots of information
Glad to hear that
The video is very clear, concise, and delivers its points in a deliberate pace. "Simplicity" is the key point in this video, but it is unfortunate that someone finds this "amateurish". One's skill in photography is not only shown through understanding all the technical complexities that come with it, but the ability to be able to achieve good results, in spite of the physical or technical limitations of the location. The remark is uncalled for.
Thanks to you and your lovely wife. I appreciate all your videos.
Another great video! Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Very well done, yes I'm subscribing
Welcome to the channel :)
great video
Well done! Love the detail explanations.
Glad it was helpful!
Thorough, detailed, the best so far.❤
Glad you think so!
So simple and beautiful. Thank you again Jiggie
You are so welcome
Thank you! This is exactly the information I needed today!
Glad it was helpful!
Super helpful content here, clearly presented. Thanks for everything you do!
You’re most welcome
i use shoot through way more often than reflective. unless i want a bit of pop. then the silver lined reflective gives just a little bit more sparkle. shoot through umbrellas dont have a lot of control of the light so a dark studio or black V-flats might help keep the lighting more contrasty.
another great video and many thanks to your lovely wife Coco!
Great used of space and your lighting is excellent. i love your work
Thank you so much!
Super helpful for tight studios 💯
Glad you think so!
Thank you Jiggie!
You’re most welcome :)
Thank you for your videos sir jiggie. Your videos really makes me hopeful to be a good photographer. Ive been watching your videos on one light setup for a while noe and i recently picked up a sony a6400. Ipon nlng for a speed light and im eager to try out and apply your setups.
Thank you Jiggie. Going back to the basics always helps prior to me going on a shoot, after being out for a while. Much appreciated Sir.
Glad it helps!
Me at the end: WOW!!
Appreciate a lot you take the time/trouble to measure the distances. Very helpful.
The tip of moving up the Kelvin numbers to make the photo warmer in the camera is very useful.
Thanks a lot to both of you.
Glad you like that
Thanks again sir Jigz, I'm writing down notes now regarding the distances po.
Have fun! But remember that’s a reference but experiment and you’ll get even better :)
@@JiggieAlejandrino ok po sir noted!
Fantastic video @Jiggie!
Say... Wy do the colors are so different on the shot comparing with the images of the video?
For the speedlite, are you using the angled head instead of angling the speedlite so it retains its focal range for flash?
thank you sir for the tutorial. Just want to ask what do you call the monitor you are using which is mounted on the your camera?
Question: I only have one light. Amaran 60D led continuous and a softbox. For indoor home. Do I have to have all ambient lights off so that it doesn’t contaminate the portrait scene ?
Yes
Jiggie, I love your way of teaching. So many great videos. Thank you for giving back. I like your subscribe shirt. Very clever. Do you have any discount links for the Phottix umbrella in the United States?
Unfortunately no, just for the PH
Question: do you have the skew or product number of the backdrop you’re using ? I would like to order same one. Thanks.
Great video! What background are you using? Do you have a link? I like the color.
In the description :)
@Jiggie Alejandrino Thank you i appreciate that. But it goes to the website not the specific model.
I see you have a phone hooked up to your camera to display the images. Would love to hear how you are doing that!
It’s a feelworld monitor held in place by the ifootage spyder crabs
What size umbrella?
I looked on Amazon for Kate backdrop and couldn't find the one you used in the video. What is that one called and where to buy one?
I put the link to the website in the description :)
NEVER Good to use HSP 4 numerous shoots - OK 4 once in a while in extreme cases. BEST: f/4 - ISO 200 - 1/125 sec. USE these settings for thousands of shots 4 clients each month. OCF Godox AD200 Shoot Through umbrella 1/8 power set at 8 feet from subject. LENS Nikon f/1.4 50mm.
First of all you should use a black panel behind the umbrella in order to control the spill of the light all over the place ( besides the light spreading ... you are also introducing all kinds of colour shifts since our walls are not white) ....secondly you should use a boom arm to be able to tilt the umbrella in order to give the right/desired angle to the light source . There are other important things to be said but let's not make it too complicated....
This video is very amateurish.
