Your "how & why" explanation about camera settings was well articulated so that even I could understand it. Your studio demonstration drove your point home. Bravo Mr. Kelly.
My son just showed me this video. I've been saying the exact points for years. Now he finally agrees that Dad is correct! 😉
Sounds like a great result! Thanks for watching.
We want more so grateful Tim you have thought me how to take great Portrait
Great 👍
You're a great teacher and a master of your craft, wow, what a great video. Been having this problem with the face exposure vs background darkness. Going to change how I do things.
You’re very kind. I hope the info continues to help.
Thank you. There are times I would adjust in-camera and... created more work for myself.
Indeed. Give it a try.
Good useful information Tim. Thank You.
Thanks for watching!
Excellent! Thank you!
You are welcome! Thanks for watching!
Thanks for your patience and understanding some of use are still learning the basics. Your the man.
You bet! In the studio it's very intentional, very "lab-like" until you've drilled it enough. Once you get it you can focus on your variations.
I have an older camera that syncs at 1/60 or 1/250. I like to use the higher shutter speed even though it reduces the flash power. Sometimes I use 1/60. My go to f stop is 8 and up to f 16. Outside I sometimes open up to f5.6, but not often. I'm going to upgrade to a newer camera body as soon as it'll pay for itself so I can use a slightly slower shutter. Shutter doesn't change anything much with flash only, but I'd like to have more range of speeds available when shooting outside.
That would be great. You're right, shutter (as long as it syncs) won't effect flash only images. I think average flash duration is about 1/10,000 sec anyway. Thanks for watching.
Outstanding video great quality great information
Thanks Art!
Thank you sir!
You are welcome!
Very well explained. Thanks for the info.👍🏽
Glad it was helpful!
I see you go central weighted exposure and not matrix….would that be the same for group.?
That was great info. Thanks, Tim.
Thanks for watching
Very good info, now all I need to do is persuade my good wife to sit for me a little so I can practice this (persuading her will be the hard part I think hahaha). Thank you for this video Tim 👍😁
Good luck! Start with an inanimate object first. Progress is most obvious if you have a fill light and a separately lit background.
when i will be mayor, i wanna be like you
Always change the camera. I'll just try in flash. Thanks
Awesome vid. May I ask, what are the dimensions of your shooting area? Thanks for the info 🙂
It's 14'W x 22'L 10' Height. Thanks for watching.
Thanks Tim. This has been very helpful. My preferred look was the one from @5:50. I think when the light gets up too close, there's higher contrast due to how the light falls off due to the inverse square law. @11:28 Under what circumstances do you determine to include ambient with flash for a portrait session? Is it when you want to do an environmental type portrait or?
Using ambient light in conjunction with strobe light is completely different. I'll do a video on that. Image exposure STARTS with getting the base value (ambient only) you want and then adding the strobes to complete your vision. A lot like light painting in philosophy.
@@TimKellysMasterPhotoTechniques Great thank you. It would be helpful to see how you work with Ambient and strobes.
Camera settings are useless. You need to learn to expose. Every setup requires different setting. If you shoot outdoors you may find different exposures from one shot to another because natural light is constantly changing. In studio everything is fixed. But then every studio has its own characteristics.
True, indeed. Thanks!

That was great info. Thanks, Tim.
I was hoping enough viewers would get it. Thanks for watching.
