High Key vs Low Key Lighting Beauty Shoot
Vložit
- čas přidán 21. 07. 2024
- In this video I create both a high key and low key beauty image using 2 strobes and the exact same modifiers. The only differences? In one shot I used a reflector, and in the other I added grids while changing the position of the main light. In truth it’s really pretty minimal changes with really dramatic results.
Controlling the amount of light and shadows in your images is extremely important to controlling the mood in a shot… plus honestly it's a fundamental element to knowing your way around the studio.

I am definitely a lowkey light guy. These pictures are amazing!
your level of professionalism, knowledge and ease of communication never ceases to amaze me
Thank you so much! :)
I've purchased many of Lindsey's courses. She's an excellent teacher, due to her skills, experience, and obvious desire to make things understandable.
Thank you so much for the kinds words John! So happy you enjoy the content! ;)
I love your direct and simple way of explaining how light works. Thank you
Thank you so much, Lindsay! I had been looking for that kind of tutorial for so long: simple instructions with the logic behind the decisions explained, doable with minimal equipment. It's also interesting that you also integrate short light, a set-up that we tend to forget sometimes. You nailed the perfect template for a learning photographer to develop his/her chops with!
Good tutorial. You make things easy to understand. Love the Low Key images , they are a lot more interesting to look at.
Thanks so much!
Even just the music selection on this one, from the beginning to the end, reinforced so much why I have subscribed!
The algorithm working really hard, and really well. This is such a perfect channel that speaks to me in all the right ways!
And of course, thank you for this awesome content!
That low key shot…wow. Inspired yet so simple.
The low key takes it for me in this set 👍🏽
Lindsay, I always love to hear you speak. You are so passionate and knowledgeable and it is infectious. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos! :)
Thank you so much for the kind words. :)
As always love the easy down to earth way you present each lesson. I am taking two of your Creative Live courses, and find I am learning more because of the way you teach it.
So glad I can help! :)
Thank you! I like how you go throught steps, it makes a lot of sense ❤
As usual, clear, precise, strait to the point
Thank you Lindsay for your teachings, insight and inspiration 🙏
You're welcome, thank you for watching! :)
SUPER. SUPER , THE BEST VIDEOS
நன்றாக இருக்கிறது வாழ்த்துக்கள் R.MANOHAR-CHENNAI
Nice to be reminded of techniques from time to time but to see them in action brings the concept home. Thank you.
You're welcome! :)
BOTH ARE GOOD IN THEIR INDIVIDUAL STATE!
AWESOME EXPREIMENT 👌 👏
I really love your teachings - so clean and clear! Thanks a lot
This has been the most inspiring tutorial of all that I have bingewatched now that I'm starting with studio flash, thank you ever so much for such helpful content Lindsay!!
So glad you enjoyed it! :D
This is beautiful! You explain perfectly! Thank you so so much. Greetings from Colombia, South America.
Thank you so much. I am a Photography student and we are still taking courses from home so I am jerry rigging stuff to get the photos and this was extremely helpful.
You are a great teacher. Clear, concise and informative. Thank you.
Thank you so much!
Absolutely an outstanding video (as always!😃). Good explanation with appropriate examples to illustrate your points. I especially want to thank you for talking about low-key images. It's a topic that is not always as frequently touched on in instructional videos. Thanks so much again! Wishing you all the best.🙏
Thanks again!
That low key image is gorgeous.
Love this Lindsay!
Great work and stunning images as usual. Love the low key set, those last shots wow. Will have to try it out.
thank you!
Thanks, Lindsay!
Thank you for your energy and teaching style, it's perfect!
Thank you for watching! :D
Great video Lindsay Adler! I must admit when I started taking pictures I thought especially when doing Low Key that the room itself needed to be dark, I like that in your video you show that for the purpose of the video everything is perfectly lit however since you metered for the lights the results were dark. Thank you for sharing so much great information through your channel!
Happy to help! :)
Excellently explained..thank you
THAT soft, short-lit low-key Rembrandt! The pose is superb as well. Great direction!
thanks!
@@lindsayadlerphoto Lindsay, I noticed you have a recurrent low-key approach that looks really luxurious. It reminds me the one you did with hard light (using the magnum reflector). I was really impressed. So I have a request: could you do that lush low-key look (hard light/low light) with a male model... I am asking because you can't play with as many aspects (earrings, jewels, glamourous hair style and so on). Just a suggestion. Whatever. Have a great day!✌
You did it again. Great job as usual. Love the presentation. More blessings
❤️
wow Lindsay, your so talented. Thank you. I think I'm going to steal that setup of - Beauty dish at 10' o'clock featured at 8:31
Lindsay you really are an exceptional educator!!! Thank you ❤️
Thank you for the kind words! :)
I usually lean towards low key, but I prefer the high key with this model and comparison. I love being able to see all of the details in her face and especially her hair. What a fantastic job with both setups and final images, as usual. Thank you for continuing to educate and be an inspiration.
your explanations are so clear. Great video, thanks!
Thank you!
Lindsay, you're a great teacher. Thank you!
Thank you so much!
So lovely video and I love your way to teach Lindsay, your are a great photographer. Regards from Germany!!
Love it! The model is very cute.
Amazing😍😍😍 Love the second set up. Surely gonna use for my best shoot
Thank you! :)

Thank you so much for the kind words. :)
Love the shot at 8:36. Wow
Funny how you can learn the same things over and over but when you show it I still wanna see what you create. #gifted luh you lady :)
Great video!
Both great shots, but the low key photo is absolutely beautiful!!
Thank you!
GREAT! GREAT! Millions of times over. Both are excellent. Question: are the lights pointed to the background in both High and low key shots continuous or flash? If continuous, how did you exposed for the background? Thanks.
Amazing .. lot to learn from this video .. thank you for sharing such knowledge..
Thank you!
Your one of the best teachers. Great content.
Aw thanks Joseph. :)
This might just be my favorite video from Lindsay. Created amazing imaged, quickly and simply, with the right information to take away and try to put into practice myself. Thank you!
Wow thanks so much John! Happy that you liked it. :)
Thank you for this video! It is so helpful for a new photographer like me!
You're welcome! Glad you enjoyed it.
😍thank you for sharing your knowledge
You're welcome! :)
Amazing video, thank you for this free content!
Glad you enjoy it!
I have to say, one thing I love is how you are SO popular and SO successful with lighting, my favorite, and you only ever use monolights. So many people obsess over super expensive pack and head lighting systems which can be $10,000+ just for one pack. But you actually get results where it counts-with the concept and how you USE the gear!
I could do this with the cheapest strobes if required. Its about how you use it!
@@lindsayadlerphoto Yesssssss 💝
You could benefit from a cantilever boom arm, you have the stands they are a joy to use.
Super helpful. Thanks!
Thank you for creating such useful content!
Thank you for watching!
Perfect
You do everything look so easy. Amazing
Thanks so much 😊
Agreed. She is so amazing.
xoxox
Lindsay, you are an educational treasure and quite beautiful to boot! I am just getting into photography and want to try my hand at portraiture and have been learning quite a bit from these videos. I do wonder about the ratio (mix) of the light coming from the beauty dish (ambient) versus the flash and what decision goes into that ratio? Also, how is that metered. I see a lot of photographers remove all ambient light through high shutter speeds, so I am just assuming in this case the dish is being mixed with the flash?
Your videos inspire me!
I'm so glad!
Great tips and wonderful interview on TogChat.
Thank you!
Learning so much from these videos
Happy to hear that! Don't forget to subscribe + like! :D
I saw you today with Joe Edelman, very nice talk and congratulations for this video too. 👍
Thanks so much!
Calista Flockhart never looked so good... Thanks for the tips.
Great video as usual.
Glad you enjoyed it
Thank you, it was very helpfull and inspiring
welcome!
You made it look so easy! Lol
Great video! 👍
Thank you!
Great video! I feel like this studio fits you better. Idk what it is 🤔
lol much bigger? :D
great easy to understand explanation
Glad you enjoyed it! :)
Thanks!
How do you present so well in one take?!? You are a natural 🥰
It's not always one take lol.
I actually learned something about lighting other than saying place the light at a 45 degree angle
haha good to know!
great 🙏🙏 thank you ❤
Awesome Video . Clear and concise directions👍👍👍. Would be very cool if you included the camera settings as a bonus🙂🙂🙂🙂
I have a video about this coming up soon... they don't matter! :P
@@lindsayadlerphoto I will definitely wait for it and please mention me hehheeheheh. Thank you!
Thanks Lindsey. I am originally a Bronx kid and now I am a high school portrait and sports photographer based in flagstaff and Sedona.
Keep up the great work
I recently just converted my studio to profoto
You're welcome, thank you for watching! :)
I forget to watching model... with looking at ur prety face.. keep ❤️❤️
Fantastic! Grids are the best! What light stand are you using for your strobe that lights the background? I’m struggling with finding short enough stands that aren’t used for GoPros and smart phones.
try the manfrotto nano stand!
I only have one profoto b 10 , is there any way to get the low key lighting along with a little light on background with one light ? thanks
definitely! Check out learnwithlindsay.com and my one light class will break it down!
What I'd do to have you take me under your wing and teach me all you know! You'd be having me knock on the door of your studio daily until you took me in, but I'm in Australia!! : )
Great video. I was wondering about the grid that was used on beauty dish for low key lighting setup. Was it 20 , 30 or 40 degree grid?
Profoto only has one size. :D 25
very good tutorial
Thanks so much!
Another way of doing white background is a flash light with softbox as a background. this gives you a very interesting effect you can see in the first high key picture example - girl's cheekbones, neck and shoulders are lit
Yup. That's a pretty well known technique and I've illustrated that a lot in other videos on my channel.
@@lindsayadlerphoto I'm sure you did :) I have found the channel not so long ago)))
Hey Lindsay, thanks a lot for that awesome tutorial. Quick question for you what was your camera settings please ? Aperture and shutter speed thank you
I actually have a video coming out soon about this. :D. 1/200, F/8, ISO 200
@@lindsayadlerphoto thanks a lot i can’t wait to see that video
Hey amazing work, Just curios how long did it take you to able to switch looks on the fly like that? When I have a shoot I find myself getting stuck visualizing the 1 look and not several other possibilities
I'm so used to doing it that I just already have some looks visualized in my head, or use the situation to dictate what look to do next. It comes with practice I suppose.
@@lindsayadlerphoto Thanks for getting back so quick 🙌🏻
COOL
It's so easy to understand it because you are a great teacher😎. Is short light the same as feather light? Thanks
Aw thank you so much! I assume you mean "feathering" the light, not feather light, correct?
@@lindsayadlerphoto Hi! Yes, I meant "feathering the light" (sorry). Love all your videos and definitely will be taking your course very soon❤️🙏
@@marysanchez4789 Nope! Feathering is about the angling of where you point the light. aka not the position... it stays in the same position but you angle it toward or away from the background (for example).
@@lindsayadlerphoto Got It. Thanks so much! Have a great week🙏❤️
Do you use auto focus?
Can you make lowkey photo outdoor?
