    I'll make sure to do a lot more studio portraits in the future. I have so much to learn about light and I'm going to go back to Albert Watson's photography course to rewatch it all and take notes.
    Albert Watson is a Scottish photographer, best known for his iconic images of celebrities, fashion, and fine art photography. He has worked with many famous people, including Steve Jobs, Kate Moss, Mick Jagger, and Queen Elizabeth II. Watson has won numerous awards for his work and has been exhibited in galleries and museums around the world. He is considered one of the most influential photographers of our time.

    I’m an older photographer and don’t usually want to subscribe to others sites mainly because they only seem to be interested in gear reviews instead of stretching there skills even if your deciding to try a different direction. Even at my age I strive to try new things to never stop learning. Great job on this video. Your honesty and willingness to be uncomfortable will stretch your skills and make you become a more well rounded photographer. Once again keep doing what peaks your interest and stretches your imagination.

    Frederik, this video came along at precisely the perfect moment for me. I have always been a natural light or available light shooter, but lately have been feeling like I wanted to experiment with studio lighting. I literally just today ordered some studio lights and backdrops, and then came on youtube looking for inspiration, only to find your video. Synchronicity! Thank you Frederik!

    The best part about Albert Watson's work isn't in gimmicks or tricks or requiring amazing background locations. He just has a mastery of light and contrast in his portraits that look so simple but are just so absolutely stunning. Was great to see you do studio work, you definitely have a talent for it

    If you have an agent, three assistants, two make up artists, a stylist, a fashion editor, a beautiful studio, and some of the worlds top models, great lighting and equipment, you are almost guaranteed to get some great shots. This is why the worlds top fashion photographers usually stay in the top spot for many years and why it's so difficult for the photographers at the bottom to break through. Vogue only worked with the same few photographers for decades. I don't know how it is now in the digital age. Also, all Watson's iconic images were shot on film and had a beautiful warm tome when printed. This would be my starting point if I were trying to copy his style. He was a great photographer but his fame and success were self perpetuating.

    I love this video. Coming from all the tech review videos and keeping up with gear, it was quite inspiring. I have found that continuous light setups are really nice to learn with. The video just covers such good tips with light and how to be very deliberate with it. I will say lighting makes all the difference and sometimes you just need a light bulb and a bed sheet. Creativity is everything and light is a good place to start improving photography before getting to editing.
