    I love this! Very clear, systematic, and practical, with supportive diagrams, and comparison of the effects of different set-ups. I have watched a gazillion photography CZcams videos but I have not found any portrait tutorial that is better. It's like having your own engaging professor of photography. Brilliant! Thank you.

    Great refresher for me. I earned a photography diploma about 25 years ago but only worked in the biz for less than a year. And now I need to take a few photos for LinkedIn. Actually got me excited about photography again!

    Jay and crew, I really appreciate all the effort you put into videos like these and I find them very helpful. Thank you! Do you have a video on planning your light based on moods you want to achieve or, if you want to shoot a public event outside using available light, how do you plan where to go to take advantage of existing light? (How to plan my location or time of day when I can't control the environment i.e. street or travel photography)

    • @TheSlantedLens
      @TheSlantedLens  Před 3 lety

      When we shoot outside with a group we use strobes to control the light.

  • @gregorysargeant6305
    @gregorysargeant6305 Před 3 lety

    Great video,back in the day(the 70's) I was thought that there was another lighting pattern close loop lighting was different than Rembrandt lighting do we not teach that anymore? And to get light in the shadow side of the eye when doing split light is really difficult.

    • @TheSlantedLens
      @TheSlantedLens  Před 3 lety +1

      My understanding is when you close the loop it becomes a Rembrandt. The best way too get that light back in for the split light is to use a reflector like I demonstrated. As always thanks for your comment Greg!

  • @deanverhoeven
    @deanverhoeven Před 3 lety

    I didn't understand the comment about changing the "ratio" in the butterfly light setup. The ratio between subject light and background? How would you change that if you're using one light source? Thanks for the video--I learned a lot. Excellent presentation.

    • @TheSlantedLens
      @TheSlantedLens  Před 3 lety +1

      Light ratio is about the highlights and shadows on the face. You change that by using a fill card to bounce light into the shadows. You might be interested in this video about lighting ratios: czcams.com/video/QTah36HPTPs/video.html

      It has been quite a while since we shot this. That would be buried in our archives.

    5:00 - I really don't see a huge amount of difference there. I mean, they essentially look the same except for her position. The colour saturation looks more so on the photo to the left. What I would ask though, is that if you were using a particularly large aperture for this, which eye would you focus on, the one closest to or further away from you?

    • @TheSlantedLens
      @TheSlantedLens  Před 3 lety

      Personally the one closest. But that is a creative decision.

  • @williambo5989

    does the window have to be north light for this to work?

    • @TheSlantedLens
      @TheSlantedLens  Před 3 lety +1

      No, it does not. If you are getting direct sunlight then put up a sheet to soften the light.
