You're extremely kind. Thank you! It's easy when you don't have to do this live and can cut out the Ums and Ahs. lol
Love your shots, Jeff, and your educational approach, too!
Straight to the point and so relatable

Yes, this is an excellent series.... Your post processing is spot on, and I would like to see your workflow and general editing tips, especially the b&w edits - Thank you.
Thanks so much! I'll see what I can put together. :)
Great stuff, Jeff. Thanks! (Fantastic images, too!)

Another 5 star tutorial. Awesome photos for such a small space.
Thank you kindly Jim! :)
I am glad things have pickup. Wish you great success next year.
Amazing! Thank you ever so much.
This video was insight for me... I have a small garage studio close to the same size as described... I working toward a style that I can recreate as my signature look... this video helped...
Jeff, you are moving higher and fast on my list of influencing photographers. Thank you for the wonderful insight.
amoledor you’re incredibly kind. Thank you!!!!
Hey Jeff , I'm just starting out on working with off camera lighting ,and working in my living room . Just treated myself to a hand painted canvas , little dark , but I'm after a certain look . thank you for these videos , they are such a help ...
thanks for the video, Jeff. You are correct in that for the images you showed one really does not need a whole lot of space. And that's a great thing. Love your images, by the way. Keep the videos coming
Jeff, I love your videos. You’re a great communicator (with a beautiful voice by the way!). This 60ft series is really useful, please keep on doing it.
You're very kind Ana. Thank you so much for the kind words. :)
That was great! Really appreciate the advice
Anytime! Thanks for watching! :)
Great job and alot of inspiration. I'm in the process of making my own studio in my garage.
Those images are SPECTACULAR!!! I enjoy your videos!!! You explain everything & I like the way you have that warm lamp behind you lighting the wall behind you. I’m EXCITED for future videos with more details
Thanks so much! I have a great space to work in, and it definitely makes my life a lot easier. :)
nice simple and short videos!
I like this video, Jeff. Gives some great suggestions and ideas for my small environment.
I'm glad that I could be of help! Thanks for watching. :)
Love every one of you videos. thank you for sharing you knowledge with us ! I recently purchased my second speedlight and I having problems with shooting in a very small space, can't wait for your future videos !
Thanks so much! Speedlights is something that I'll absolutely be covering in the next few weeks. :)
Thanks Jeff!
This video is helpful. I started photography some months ago. I have a little space and I have been struggling to use my 130cm umbrella with Godox AD600BM. Now I see how to manage my space without the light spreading out. Thank you 🙏🏻
Stunning work , very clever use of the limited space Jeff, You have provided the inspiration I was looking for
Thank you infinitely! It's something that I'll be producing more of in the next couple of weeks. :)
The portraits are amazing - I would have liked to see more of how you position the lights though.
Excellent video. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much for watching! :)
Excellent work, Jeff. I'd particularly like to see more detail on how you're able to use and control the large reflective umbrella with diffusion in a small space. And, if you're combining and balancing available light from your north-facing window with strobe within a small space. Thanks for sharing your insights and experience.
Always phenomenal work my man
Thank you kindly! :)
Thank You!
Keep them coming , nice!
Thanks so much Juan! :)
👍 well done stay motivated
Keep the videos coming, man! Great job, and thank you!
Thanks so much and thank you for the kind words! :)
Great stuff, thanks for the tips!
Thanks so much for watching, Corey!
Great Jeff ......... Thank you very much
Thank you and thank you for watching! :)
Your vids inspire me, bud. Great work as usual.
Jason Bodden Thank you! :)
The the first time I use speed light ( One Light ) following your techniques so far so go thank you
Jeff, I just this morning found you and your u tube channel. I'm so grateful for your work and your educational forum of shooting in small spaces. I'm currently figuring out if a small bedroom in my home could be converted to a studio. I'm hopeful thanks to your work and your videos. Thanks
I watch your videos regularly... Miss you making photo content and sharing of your knowledge
Nice work Jeff! I'm from NY too, I love NY style!
Thank you for this. Please do more.
I definitely will! :)
I made my very small living room in a studio ( I am a beginner) . So the those images created in a space like mine gave me hope lol
Thank you for sharing your knowledge ! 🙏
Very informative!
Thanks so much! :)
Bro. Damn. Saw the first photo and subscribed.
Great stuff. Please produce more videos on working in smaller spaces.
I’m really enjoying your videos Jeff. Great presentations and you have a unique voice that’s easy to listen to. Also very impressive use of your small space in NYC. I’ve rented a few studios in Manhattan/Brooklyn before, but I’d love to make some projects just work in my little apartment if I could. Thanks for the work you put into your content. 👍🏼
Thanks so much for the kind words and for watching! I know that shooting in small spaces isn't ideal, but it's the reality that many of us work in. I'll be producing more content regarding this in the next couple of weeks. Please stay tuned. :D
Great content, Jeff. Liked and subscribed right away. Lots of us with super tiny spaces who would love to learn more about how to make the most of them. Thank you for sharing that knowledge.
asdrofllmao thank you for the kind words and for watching! :)
I enjoy watching you work! You definitely do more with less! I look forward to the rest of this series!
Thanks so much! This is something that I'll be working on in the next few weeks. :)
Make more content like this!
Your production it's great!
Thanks so much! :)
I really do love this series and the last set of videos you have put out (not that I didnt love the other ones, but these are fuego) . I need to play a bit more with a one light set up in the apartment and test some things out because when I do try it, its a hit or miss. Thanks Jeff!
Thanks amigo! Go make amazing images. :)
Gold dust Jeff, thanks so much. Great to see you covering a much neglected part of photography; the limited space studio. ⭐️
Thanks so much! This is something that I've wanted to produce for a while, so it was a quick way to introduce a longer series.
Please keeping posting content for very small spaces!!! I’m so grateful!! You are amazing!!!
Thanks Jeff, I just created a fairly small home studio, a little bigger than yours and the tips you gave here fit my purpose exactly. Thanks for sharing your amazing amount of knowledge.
Thanks so much! I'm glad that I could be of help! :)
As always Jeff, you prove how a talented photographer can create so well with so little. Amazing images - I love the B&W but I would love to see the one with the girl in color as well.
You're incredibly kind. Thank you! I'll be shooting more women and in color in the next few weeks. :)
very informative
YES. How to do advanced work in a small studio. More please!
Thanks so much! :)
Really great video and inspiring to us with out much space. If I lived in that apartment, I would look at installing two eyebolts in the walls to hang the backdrop and do away with the two support stands. I am not sure how much the backdrop weighs, but I don't think the eyebolts would need to be very heavy duty...If needed, they could be easily removed and the holes filled etc so no permanent damage done...
hi Jeff, I'm really looking forward to the series. I love photography, but due to family and work I haven't got the luxury to go to big places. So I try in a small place.. my room. I'm sure your videos will help me a lot.
New subscriber here! This was such an awesome vid!
Quite calculative, good.
Love it! Im facing the same issues with space here in Queens as well! lol, yea Im in NYC. Would be lovely to if you do some workshop some day! I down to it for sure! Great content!
哇！终于看到了
Wow Jeff you just have smaller Space than i have. Nice that i have seen you using an Reflektor for your Shootings. Thanks for the really nice Content. Grreetings from Frankfurt Germany.
Thanks so much Frank! It's definitely a small space, but given that you have more room, you have a lot more flexibility to make amazing images. :D
Hahah jus finding your channel beautiful models learning so much tips has anything chance with lighting since then 😂
Hey jef. Can you give us vidio for one versatile diffuser ever, and the reason. and how to use it? . Thanks jef you so great 👍
Love your work Jeff and I´m reading one of your books. I would like answering you... how do you avoid highlights when your shooting with the umbrella so near of the subjects? Thanks and best regards!
I have a very small space. Please what diffuser can I use with my strobe as my 120cm umbrella take almost all the space in the room and I cannot even see my model or client
Good stuff Jeff. Next time you should talk more about the light position, height and angle.
I couldn't agree more! I produced something with CreativeLive years ago on that subject, but it's something I absolutely want to revise and recreate. :)
Hey Jeff, I recently discovered your channel and I'm really enjoying the content, so thanks for what you're doing. I find you are addressing some really important questions that are very relevant to those of us who aren't doing this full time, but still aspire to a high standard with aim of creating more value. Would love to see more on shooting in small spaces. Two questions for you about this -
1) unfortunately, I only have 8 ft ceilings in my current space, but otherwise have good width and distance to subject. My main modifiers are a 31" Octa from Lastolite and a 48" Glow parabolic softbox from Adorama. Obviously, it's tough to get either one overhead. I need a beauty dish, but I'm wondering what else you would recommend in terms of prioritizing new modifier purchases to contend with the low ceilings to get that light higher. Is there a really flat softlighter out there?
2) Given your short distance to subject in your space, what's the widest focal length you're willing to shoot for a half length portrait? Can you actually do full length in that space? Thanks!
Hi Jeff! I've been through about a dozen of your videos now, and they just keep getting more and more helpful - thank you! I am about to move into an apartment and I was hoping to use some of my space similarly to what you're doing. I'm worried my ceilings (at 8ft) might be too low for the overhead umbrella. Can you share your experiences with ceiling height?
Thank you infinitely for the kind words! 8ft isn't ideal, but it's not IMPOSSIBLE to shoot in. Remember that regardless of the area that you're working in, learning to CONTROL light is the most critical aspect. Make it work for you. :)
Thank you very much for these helpful tips! Your images look stunning! I'm curious if you're using a make-up artist? Because the skin looks really amazing.
Good stuff. Did you create more "small space" content? I'm about to set up in a 10x11x9(ceiling) . Great stuff
Amazing photos! I would like to try the overhead lighting setup but my ceiling is a bit too low and I don't have a huge softbox. Would bouncing a light off the ceiling give a similar light?
Awesome video keep then coming. @rc1photography @bobbyfingers
Great video. Question for you - what focal length did you use for the waist up photos you showed?
the most important part of this post is finally, someone provided a link to v flats. thank you so much!
lol Yeah... I've been waiting for a company to produce these for ages! lol
Jeff,Question: i live in small apartment. what strobe wattage should i get if will be occasionally shooting at wide apertures using 60-65” softbox like yours. also, occasionally full body shots.
super tuto. How do you manage the shadows on neck when light is on top ? or does 165cm softbox diameter make the job ? It also seems that your umbrella is very close from the head of people, not 1m above.
Saludos!✌ I love the way how you manage the light, this serie is so interesting, i would like to know how can i get that metallic effect in the skin like in your b&w imagenes...
That's a great question! My method is still consistent with this old video that I created: czcams.com/video/ApuKCzqIsco/video.html
Hope that it helps! :)
could you do this with a parabolic?
@jeffrojas hey bud!
I really appreciate this video a lot. I had a single question about your set up. I notice the claps you were using, can you please give me the name or link to them? I been trying yo find those? They seem really seamless to move the backdrop up and down.
I cant wait to see more love watching your videos this is a style im really wanting to learn . May i ask when shooting like this in studio are u shooting at f8 or lower .ots has a window light feel to it..
Thanks, so much! It honestly depends on what "feel" I'm photographing and what I want to keep in focus. Second, how much light am I working with plays a huge factor. If I'm shooting with window light and it's relatively dim, opening up my aperture is essential. If I'm shooting strobes, I can shoot f/8 all day and be okay.
It says the backdrop is fashion gray, is it not black or does it just look black onscreen? Thanks for all you do Jeff!
Hi Jeff like ur work. im new for photography .just wanna know what stand and boom arm brand u recommend , also i have seen some kinda jib , heavy duty one but could not find it , do u know any good brand but no need to rob banks ? many thanks
Great photos and video! I'm struggling to get much light in the eyes with the overhead lighting setup. How do you manage to get light in the eyes?
right, and Im trying to figure out where he has the flash
Hey Jeff, that big light pointing almost straight down, does that style of lighting have a name? Also do you ever use curved reflectors like an Eyelighter? Thanks! Really like your content.
Hi jeff how are you? I am Thomas from Geneva in Switzerland. My question is: would a godox 200 be powerful enough to use with this size of umbrella? If not, what would be the biggest umbrella I could use with this type of light. Thanks for sharing your skills. 👍
finally find it.. thank you so much. Jeff
just a quick Q,
if i want to fill the background as well for a even light
will it work if i add more light infront with softbox?
thanks you so much.
just Subs
Hi Jeff, I like your videos a lot. Please keep up the good work. Question: can you use V-Flats as backgrounds instead of seamless? I know they are designed to reflect or absorb light, but it seems like they could make a decent background too.
That's a great question! For a few years, I'd use V-Flats as a background alternative. You'll want to be sure that there are no rips, tears, or holes, or you'll have to fix it in post-production! :)
Cool space, can't wait to see more tips! What focal lengths can you use on the wider end for 2/3 body shots before you run out of space on backdrop?
Antti Mutka thanks so much! I've been using a canon 24-70mm f2.8L II on a full-frame Canon 5D Mark Iv without any issues. :)
The results were in the images shown here. :)
Thanks for the info! I've been thinking about a more dedicated space at my home but my beloved 85mm is a bit tight. Time to check out some 50mm and 35mm glass soon :) ps. Shameless plug if you want to take a look at my work, big fan of B&W too instagram.com/mutka
Studio space is not the biggest problem, ceiling height is.
So this is going to feel like a dumb question - how did you keep the umbrella over the subject like that? I tried to do that, but the umbrella kept moving position. Like, how did you lock it into place?
Hi Jeff,
I have a question about C-stands. I’m from Portugal and in here is hard to buy the Avenger A2030D 40-Inch. However I found the AVENGER C-STAND 33 (product ID: A2033LKIT) in a local store. Can you tell me if this could be a good alternative for the same studio space and lights you show?
Keep it going with your videos. They really worth it!
Thanks in advance.
