This video has some gems! Especially about having a reflector holder! It’s so much more convenient to set it, leave it, & let you model move freely & relax so you can get the shot you want!
Years pass and I cannot believe how great an consistent results you get with gear you already have. You are great example how to not fall in Gear Acquisition Syndrome.
Its not about the gear and we all know that. I guess sometimes people get stack with that idea and they have hard time to overcome that.
So realistic and straight to point!
Absolutely love it!
Your in home studio setup is so similar to ours in square footage with the exception of patio doors BEHIND the setup, which we must block. Clients are immediately put at ease and conversations begin around our three Bengal cats and their overhead catwalks; these felines are "ice breakers" and their antics have our clients laughing!
Thank you for straight forward explaining your setup and the full process.
Thanks RW. Loved you simple presentation and lighting approach. Nothing complicated and it offers consistent results always....Amazing
Rafal, you are one of my favorite photographers!
Excellent work.. straight to the point 🙌👏👏
The second lightning set I love with this black backdrop
Another very inspiring video, which shows that you don't need expensive equipment for very good results. The marketing teams of the companies, who also present expensive equipment as the most important tool in some videos, may be annoyed about this. Thanks so much an keep safe an sound. Greets Rainer
Thanks for the very informative video. Much appreciated!
Just great, thanks for sharing so a lots of tips ❤
Very helpful. Thank you.
Thank you and keep sharing your knowledge/experience.
My pleasure
Well explained 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Excellent video! And I have a client on Monday that requested a "dramatic" headshot and Rembrandt will be perfect for that.
Thank You and I am sure your shoot will go very well.
I’ve seen your beautiful headshots and got so excited to watch this video. Thank you for your thoughts on the Rembrandt and clamshell lighting setups. I am photographing a high school senior studio session tomorrow. While I’ve done many of these, which setup do YOU recommend? And, are your lights on wheels? When you change their placement looking left/right, do you flip your lights? Thank you!!!
Inspiring, thanks for sharing
Bardzo Pomocne.Dzięki.
Very informative. Thank you!
Great video -Thanks!
Super Video 👏👏👏, thanks a lot 👍
Cool video thanks for sharing
Thank you Rafal, Can you please share the link or the name of the background you're using for this video? thanks.

Hello Rafal, thanks for another great vídeo! If you don't mind, I will recomend something I purchase not long ago that will make your life even easier, a reflector holder. I bought the Magnetic Backgroud Support, a Reflector holder by Lastolite/ Manfroto for about 70€ and it is so good! Have a look if you want!
Excellent video!
Thank you very much!
Very nice video an explanation. I love Rembrandt for the look but use clamshell for the ease and versatility. Especially for more candid or dynamic subjects which I tend to shoot. Which reflector holder do you use? I've had a couple but not happy with any of them. Thanks!
Thank you Rafal. Great contents and very informative. I also purchased your first 2 videos. I haven't purchased your ungraded video yet. Soon.
Sounds great and Thank You!
great information. i use some of these same principals in my work. when i can get it
What is the name of that backdrop you are using? I didn't quite understand or hear it correctly as I have searched all that I thought I heard and no luck. Thanks
When you don't know how to set up a grip head properly, the reflector is great for catching the strobe when it falls! 🤣
Thanks really great video!! Regards Juergen
Thank you too!
Thanks so much for your informative video! Lots of great tips here! Do you have available links to the equipment you used taking these shots such as the stand and arm holding the reflector? Thank you. :)
Nice tutorial
Glad you think so!
Great video... So I can do a corporate shoot with off-camera-flash? What about battery life and failing triggers? Thanks :)
Świetny, konkretny film! Dziękuję! Pytanie odnośnie oświetlenia tła (mam takie samo, niezastąpione w maleńkim mieszkanku) - rzeczywiście nie używasz żadnego modyfikatora na speedlite'a? Choćby czaszy, która nadaje okrągły "kształt" światłu? Wystarczy jedynie odsunąć na odpowiednią odległość lampę od tła, aby uzyskać gradientowe oświetlenie?
Pozdrawiam!
Serdecznie dziękuję za tak mile słowa. Jeśli chodzi o Twoje pytanie to giedys nakładałem na lampe tzw grid ale od czasu kiedy zakupiłem ten materiałowy background światło jakoś tak ładnie się rozkłada ze nie trzeba żadnych dodatkowych udoskonaleń.
Hi, I would love to know the stand for main light, I have a c stand which i hate because it is too heavy and worst if i have to shoot at the location. Thanks!
Where did you get the backdrop? Great video, thank you!
Hi Rafal, I have studied this clip a few times and it's on point. My situation is that I'm forced to use a room that's only 18 ft deep. What distance are you shooting from the subject?
Super. Pozdra
wiamy UR
Dziękuję i Pozdrawiam Serdecznie.
First. Looking forward to this.
Thank You!
I have the teaching tutorial by Dylan Patrick and he shows where it was too windy outdoors during his shoot that he had the subject hold the reflector and his images still look stellar: one of his speedlights were sandbagged to keep from blowing over and the other was steadied by an assistant. It turned out great.
Very very nice
Thanks a lot
❤❤❤
I agree 100% with the buy a reflector stand.
Have never understood the mentality that the client or model can hold the reflector. No as it fixes the position of the arms and shoulders.
Why the hell would someone call clam shell flat? It depends on the position of the key and the none active fill/reflector.
Excellent video, Rafal, can you tell me what focal length you typically use (85mm, 100mm)? Thank you!
Disregard - I finally found where you commented on this question in the comments. Thanks
Great work, are you able to provide a link for the backdrop?

@@RafalWegiel Great, thank you!
@@kenhassman4322 If you live in North America, Strobepro, Calgary is the best source for studio gear - you simply cannot beat their customer service, shipping and PRICES!
Great videos...the slideshow of the images could be slower though
What focal length do you typically use for your headshots? I find that I want use a long lens for the benefits of flattening the face but then I have to place myself far away from my subjects. I don’t mind that but when I set up with a butterfly setup. My modifiers are very much in the way. And if I back them up towards the camera, they end up being too far from the subject. Any advice on balancing distance when using a butterfly setup?
Typically I shoot at 160- 200mm I hope that helps
@@RafalWegiel Wow - that is a tight focal length. I don't always have that much room to zoom in that tight. I guess the point is that you shoot up to 200mm by preference so that will be a good guide for me to get as tight (zoomed in) as I can for next shoot. Thanks!
Excellent tutorial. The links in the description about the retouch tutorials does not work.
Thank You for letting me know...now they should work.
@@RafalWegiel By the way, I purchase the new retouching tutorial. Thank you for your inspiration.
@@NoelDelPilar Thank You! I am sure you will enjoy it. Please let me know if you have any additional questions.
Your backdrop is Nedeer? I can't find it... do you have a link?

@@RafalWegiel Thanks a million for responding. And it's affordable!
Your video is interesting but for example the editing is very subtle and is not so easy to see what you did. You should show where and how you did the change, otherwise it has very little educational value
Thanks for your opinion and your video. I heavily disagree with you on the reflector holder. I DO let my models hold the reflector, especially when they are unexperienced. Firstly, they have something that distracts them which means helping to relax and secondly, holding the reflector helps them posing, because they automatically brings their shoulders back und their chest in forward.
Long time no see! I have not downloaded any of your video for a long time.
