The Power of Using

- In the last video ( • Using a Virtual Studio... ) I went over the basics of using the virtual photo studio -- Set.a.Light 3D.
Today we'll head back into the virtual studio where I'll share my insider tip on why using grids with gels can be so powerful when trying to control the placement and saturation of your gels.
I'll be using a only 2 lights, a strip softbox and a beauty dish with both gels and grids showing you the differences.
I'll even show you a little tip on how to light your background with just these lights (no 3rd light needed!).

Lindsey Adler's teaching is one of my most important foundation--plot twist i learned from her teaching via e-books, back when she didn't have an active CZcams yet.
Miss. Adler is the best photography tutor one can ever have. Like a mother to photographers. 💙❤️
Wow, thank you!
Glad you are sticking to the terms "Controlling the spill of light". Often people talk about grids focusing the light. It does not, it only 'seems' to.
Also light wrapping. Light never wraps. It always travels in a straight line. But it seems to.
And I have been guilty of misusing the terms. It is normal to ascribe terms of physical realty to what is only an appearance.
And this vid may be the one to open my wallet. The software is not cheap, especially for a hobbyist.
And as you commented elsewhere, boy has it improved since I first started drooling over it.
I think it's a worthwhile investment for sure. You can experiment in the comfort of your own home (or couch lol) and gain some confidence on how to do it in the real world -- especially if you can't practice in real life right now. If you do decide to get it be sure to use code LINDSAY-15. lindsayadler.photo/setalight3d
Excellent.
Superbbb video no one demonstrates the way you do each elements very well explained. The best part how u created entire studio setup to deconstruct the light. Keep up the great work.
ty Lyndsey!!!

It was super useful when I couldn't go into the studio and work during Covid, it let me pre-plan and visualize a lot of what I wanted to do!
I just purchased the software.
What’s the name of the software?
Literally mentioned in the video and in the description...@@user-dx6mn3fz6u

You're welcome! :)
Loved the way you taught this. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

Well, this was an amazing intro to gels and how grids dramatically change the effect. Never knew grids were that useful.
So glad you liked it! :)

Thank you so much!
Awesome. I like set.a.light 3D. Do you have a community profile?
I don't think I have one currently, but I'll look into it!
do u know the difference between the set.a.light 3D Studio vs the Basic one? planning to buy the software soon, thank you!!
Great tutorial Lindsay! Could you share some of your saved setups from Set.A.Light? I got the software at your recommendation! I love it so far.
Hi there! I'm probably going to be doing this soon. I'm working out the best way to release these. They might end up on the community platform that is part of the software or I might just make them available separately, haven't decided yet but stay tuned! :D
Great vid, this software model how accurate is it? it looks like a very useful tool for pre vis
I'd say it's pretty accurate. I enjoyed using it.
As always, love your tutorials! Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge and insight 😊
I do have a question tho; What is the brand and model of the silver mic you have in your video?
I do a podcast and am in the market for a mic with a stable base and stand like you have.
Thanks in advance and look forward to your next video!
It’s a Blue Yeti microphone. They’re available in a variety of colors.
warren is right. Yeti!
best vidd
Having taken your 'Lighting 101' course on Creative Live, I bought my first 'proper' light. But the funny thing is, the dedicated trigger for my camera (a Canon) isn't accepted by the camera! I've tried everything and neither of the two companies involved (Canon & Interfit) can help me to resolve the issue! I really wanted this light, as it impresses me so much. I see many professionals like yourself using lights from brands other than the camera's manufacturers and would love to know how you get the two different 'machines' to talk to each other? Otherwise, it's back to the drawing board for me! I loved this video by the way! I've only had problems with gels so far, yet this explains it so well!
Sorry to hear that the lights aren't talking to each other. Generally this has to d with radio receivers, are you using them? Maybe trying a different radio receiver could help.
What software is that? I would like it because I just began photography business, and would like to have a better idea of exact set ups before shooting
It's mentioned in the comments and in the video itself. Set.a.Light 3D
Great video Please which software is that
I mention it in the video AND in the description lol.
Thanks so much. Excellent presentation. What is the software you are using?
Bill Johnson check in the description
@@anniewu5600 Thanks
It's in the description but also mentioned in the video.

Hurh, I can relate so much on what you explain, it will be so much helpful, can't wait to test it !
But I've always wondered, and I didn't find a satisfaying solution yet : how do you gel your beauty dish, softboxes etc ? Bare bulb, bowls are ok, I almost master the ancestral and sacred art of gaffer :D Though, I managed to gel my beauty dish once, but it was a ferocious battle through which the gel didn't make it alive :P
As soon as I can afford your gel photography tutorial, I definitely will buy it ! Thank you so much for your teaching !
I actually keep an extra gel kit ($35-$45) where I have cut the pieces into circles so it easily fits in the beauty dish. :D
@@lindsayadlerphoto Damn, clean and elegant, Lindsay Adler style no doubt ^^ Kinda feel dumb for not having thought about that by myself though :D Thank you, I'll do this for now !
Loaded question.
Given your experience in the studio and working with gels, how accurate is Set a light?
BTW: I not only see Set as an excellent learning tool, but an excellent teaching tool. What has frustrated me in many teaching vids is the varying looks of models and their positions changing from shot to shot. One wants to control for all variables, except for the one you are working with.
I know, I know, without a live gorgeous model, nobody would look.
I suspect a good style would be to mix the 2. And it would also show that no matter how closely you try to duplicate something, reality will throw in a monkey wrench.
As usual. Excellent concise vid. Makes its point.
Thanks for the question. In my experience it seems very accurate, though I haven't done a one to one recreation (found this after the pandemic... but hope to try it soon!)
It's great software (I use it myself) and the video is instructive, but my question is: Going back to my real studio strobe and a beauty dish of 22 inch I must say that the gels I have are far to small. I looked for larger ones but cannot find them. How do you solve that? (I don't use Profoto strobes but Bowens strobes). I don't see a simple solution for specifically the beauty dish.
I'm not sure what size you have, but you don't necessarily need to put the gel over the entire beauty dish. You can just put it over the light which would solve the issue.
I have 12x12'' ones for sale if you're interested: lindsayadler.phtoo/gelkit
@@lindsayadlerphoto there is a typo in url ... corrected ... lindsayadler.photo/gelkit
Hello ! Has anything changed for the gel class since 2020? I would like topurchase this class but this video is from 2020. Also,i see the equipment used id Profoto, will this work for any lighting system? Thank you !
Hi there! nothing has changed, but in a good way. All still 100% relevant. and yes any lighting system. :D
Virtual Studio is a software available to us?
Hi Koko -- yes it is! It's by Set.a.Light 3D. Check out the links in the description to learn more.
I just bought my first gels, but they don't look floppy and gel like - they are quite stiff. I have bought the wrong thing? :( It said they were gels for photography. And agree with all - Lindsay is the best teacher ever :)
I mean ultimately it's whatever you put in front of the light that changes the color. Some harder ones are designed to be clipped into things. I generally use the ones that are very thin so I can shape them around my lights.
