Jeff: "Stay there for me"
I almost made the same comment until I saw yours. Lol.. Stay right there for me!
Not physically but mentally... Stay there for me
Dead. lol
that's exactly the comment I was hoping for
I applaud his dedication. Very submissive as well
big fan of jeff, he actually is the photographer who pushed me to photographer mostly men. Thanks a lot Jeff!
Andre Quattra thank you kindly! :)
This has to be one of the best videos on a single light portrait!! Simplicity in everything! Jeff, thank you so much for putting this up and two thumbs up (I have only two)!!
Thank you! :)
I like the new style of how you made the video, like we are in the class, with pauses between bringing the props and the shots. Ty Jeff
valentin ursache thank you very much! :)
kudos to the model ... an absolute professional... as always Rojas informative, simple and creative thank you for sharing.
Great teacher....easy to understand and clear instructions đđđđđ
One of the best tutorials Iâve watched. Iâm lucky and have worked very hard to have most of the gear mentioned in your video. The one light approach is what I prefer, but natural light, e.g. a window, is another preference. Thanks for producing this video.
Jeff. Your video tutorials are the BEST. The way you are able to show options for those that are on a budget is amazing.
Thanks!
Gary Stanzak thank you so much!

Thank you very much for all these explanations Jeff! It is thanks to you where I learned a maximum! On the other hand I will have a question ... Is the fact of creating a fill-in approaching a flat light? And therefore to lack of contrast ..

Looks easy to use. Helpful tutorial
Holy shit how do you not have a bajillion views?! Your videos have helped me learn lighting quickly and to the point but also with enough information to make you understand why one makes the adjustments they make.
Thank you so much. :)
I love your style man very high class but you break it down for all levels of learning

This was a great style for Glamour shots for a manly look. The light reflectors do a wonderful Job.

Thank you! :)
Going to have to watch
Thank you very much for this straight and clear video. Many interesting tips. The only question I have is regarding the power of your flash. Do you always shoot at 100% power or do you play with the power of the flash ? Cheers
Awesome work. Good tips working in studio or rental. Thanks.
Happy to provide some knowledge, that is what we do. Check us out at www.proedu.com
Waa like zen. Very easy to understand No rush with easy flow following trough.
Tea Hozjan thank you very much! :)
Man Iâm jealous! Love the vid đđŠđș
very good, i love the outfits the models are wearing
It's amazing how much you could do with just one light.
This is often the case, what looks magical can be done with the fewest of things!
I'm trying to learn photography thanks for the new lwarning! :)
Excellent. Thank you.
Jay Barnhisel thank you!

Dope!!!đđ€đŒ
Awesome ! Good initiative ! But exclusive !
radha krishnan thank you!
reALLY HELPFUL VIDEO
The Shutterbug thank you!
What a cutie the photographer is đ
Awesome...!
Very well and clearly presented. Are the flash units mains of battery powered? .Looking forward to seeing more from you. Thanks.
Excellent video Jeff. What is that roll of translucent material called and where can you get it? It makes a wonderful difference and is a great way to simulate natural window lightđ
awesome men thanks for video
Superb..
Masterfully explained and executed Jeff. The images of the first model and the last image of the second model looked like a magazine cover. The V-flats: if purchased, can you provide a link? Also, would have liked to have seen better the angle of the half of the V-flat that was bouncing light back into the subject. Great stuff. Thanks-Greg.
Greg Schaeffer thank you! Theyâre from Vflatworld. Check them out on IG. :)
Hello Jeff; love your work, love your videos. I have a question. How do you work with men wit bald heads? Specifically the possible reflection of flash. In my experience, the 45 degree angle creates highlights on the head. Take care of it in post? Thank you for any advice you may give)))
Awesome
Cool video
make the light source bigger and it gets softer!
Hello, could you tell me where I could buy those backdrops online? What should I look for? Those arent the muslin/fabric type right?
I love this right here... Quick one please, what's the connection between your camera and your monitor, that makes your shot automatically transmit to the monitor?
Hi - it is a tethering cable.
Budget and Profoto don't go together, lmao. Still awesome video from Jeff!
SweetKicks Videos thank you! Feel free to invest in what you can afford... light is light. đ
You're good!
Very nice
GOOD!
It Looks Like A Hamburger thank you! :)
can you pls tell me what is the head you are using in that tripod? Seems like the set up i want to use..
Beautifull, where can you buy this V flats?
I could honestly listen to your voice all day long. like fucking silk rubbing my eardrums sensually.
You're very kind. Thank you. :)
Though it's a lil complicated for me, but I'll get there! đ
Woow! I just found you and ..... wow!
Welcome! Come check us out in full at PROEDU.com
Thanks, I feel you need longer lens for the head shots though.. Youre moving closer and closer and really noticing the unflatering distortion on the face.
This course used to be able to be bought in rgg edu - but now it seems that it has been disappeared from the site?
Well this is technically one light + many studio quality modifiers :P
Thank u
Obraniak Design thanks for watching!
Nice video - grats - but, my problem is the lights are the eyes of the second model. (cat eye effect)
Great video and build up of a lightingstudio set....however...what is the others dudesâ function? Is he an intern or...?! The guy that checks your monitor after each shot.
Great tutorial. Just wondering what advantage a 90mm macro has over say an 85mm 1.8 if shot at 2.8. The need for a 'macro' is what I'm curious about. Thx
Probably none here. Use what you have. Maybe he doesn't have an 85 - hence the 90.
Edit: I watched more. Using the macro allows him to get in tight with the second shot. The 85 might be able to do it...but it depends on the particular 85 and it's minimum focus distance. With a macro, you don't need to worry about a min focus distance for portraits.
@@shifteleven Thanks. I use a full frame 85 1.8 on a crop sensor, so easy to get close ups ...from a slight distance.
I'm also wondering if he's shooting a medium format body or a full-frame 35mm equivalent.
That will make a difference on what angle of view the 90mm lens will show.
The only thing that I didn't understand is why the hand was cut off on the first model, probably planning to crop further in post.
Nice
Hey Jeff...Which tether software do you use?
great video thank you!!
Just a little problem at the end where you can see multiple times clichés with the model's biggest eye. You can see at 9:19min /10:10min or 10:53 min. But the video is a great lesson of studio strobism!Again thank you !
What lens are you using?
Do you guys offer a tutorial with Rojas here?
Nice bud budget and profoto flash.....
Nice video. Where is the studio?
This was shot in our studio in St. Louis
Questions how do you do this lighting with people who wear glasses?
No need for old school lighting ratio more light a "little less" so eye ball guestimation will work. Please just add a light meter meter the main meter fill and see exactly how much fill it yield what shape come of it when you move your V Flat in and out. Ratio 3:1 no guessing. Clone out the dividing seams line on his black V Flat
Anyone --- what do I search for to find a tall one sided "boom" stand as was used for the roll of diffusion film? Thanks. I'm substituting a microphone stand which has a boom but both the height and the extension of the boom are limiting me to table top sized objects.
Nice!
Only using a direct ligth ? đź
he looks like a robot idk why , great tutorial hermano
Stay there for me!
Hello Jeff , please where can i get the flag.
Where you get those bigo'l rolls of paper * ^ *
ared18t got mine from amazon
Lol, yea, budget light to make up for the 3ft beauty dish...thank you for sharing but its impossible to get what you're getting without a giant beauty dish like u have. The bigger the light, the less harsh.
You can craft a lot of DIY solution to create a similar look, but it does help to have a beauty dish in your gear.
You get very reasonable modifiers. The Glow brand by Adorama has beauty dishes and probably cost less than $100. Need not be expensive in this day and age.
Awesome video, but for the second set up it would be just better to place the model on a stool or a chair.
What camera?đ€
I've shot with APS-C and full frame. Fujifilm and Nikon. It doesn't matter. You don't need to go over 24mp. Get yourself a good piece of glass for whatever camera your using. 50mm is a great start for portraits. Dive deep into increasing your editing skills. Study LR and photoshop like a madman. Not sure if you new to photography and I hope I'm not insulting you :)
