For a floor background what do you suggest to avoid wrinkling and dust spots?

She sure looks annoyed mate. Greetings from London.

UA-cam and a phone screen.... not much difference here. I guess it's like listening to bass player videos with just the built-in speakers...

I've always wanted one of those voice controlled light stands! They're expensive, but they seem to really help in such situations.

Hi Michael, thank you for posting this video. Do you have a recommendation for a black fabric that won't necessarily bounce light, but will just diffuse it on the sides? I'm thinking of Poly Silk. Thank you!

Why clip top of head?

wow 1 min video, amazing!

does canvas crack over time when it's rolled and un-rolled? any storage considerations?

This isn't hatchet lighting! The term comes from the movie industry in the 40's‼ One side of the face is lit while the other side is in complete darkness‼

Is the multiple felon Michael Babin your camera man? If so, Hes been convicted of over a dozen felonies including domestic violence on women. Strangulation, and abuse. Drug charges, thefts and the list goes on.

Great video but am I colour-blind or I could barely see any difference?

Of all the years of doing photography and dabbling into headshots the last 3-4 years, this is probably the most comprehensive tutorial and examples of using different techniques. Very well done and educational!

Thanks for this video, it really helped me a lot. I do have one question though. Is there a way to set up which watermark I'd like to use when I'm using the way of publishing. For example I have a watermark I use when I'm sending clients there proofs but I don't see a way to select it with this plug in.

The most over-edited result.

What fabric is the last fabric?

This was a great introduction to color calibration. Super helpful for us as we have experience in calibration but with a an old i1 years ago for our studio work. But that is no longer supported on newer macs so we purchased the spyder X Elite (still waiting for it to arrive) and this has been a great video letting us know what to expect. I'm glad we got the Elite especially after your comparison of the two. You production style is super professional and delivery / comminution is perfect. Very well done!

The video is great however the sound drops out at approx the 15min marker

Single catch light sells the image much better.

I have started my career as a wedding photographer and i bought sony a7m3 with kit lens 28-70 f3.5-5.6 and i am planning to buy a new lens because i have some shoots so i am bit confused which lens to purchase price lens 35mm f1.8 or 85mm f1.8 or should I buy tamron 70-180 f2.8 ?

The picture at 2:30 - ahhhh yeahhhhh ! :) Very nice ! Picking u barn doors and snoot today - adding one more b10x to my collection. Love the Profoto ecosystem.

Thanks for the great tutorial! My explanation with color intensity & gels: flash light is like white paint, the more white paint (flash) per color unit (gel), the more diluted the color 🙂

"Creating a high-end look without a high-end budget". My whole life in a sentence.

Great work bro

Vinyl?

thats funny but whgat lens are you using so i can buy them

Just bit the bullet and bought it

Thank you.

Thanks a lot !! - Why f/14-16 ? ... is diffraction part of the look ("not too sharp"?!) ?

what is the Key Light (fill) set at generally as a starting point? 1,2,3 stops under to bring in a eye catch light? i realize that the side kickers can be set to start wherever as per desired fstop choice desired and set Key (fill) accordingly. Maybe i missed that in the vid?? Im guessing the key (fill) at front of face is at least 2 stops less ?? possibly close to 3? thank you for any reply!!

Really enjoyed that and the pics look great. I have this lens and love it. Can you tell me are all images at f2.8? 🙏

Hey Sal amazing shoot bro , nice job🙂

so initially watched this video over 6 months ago. i looked and decided that a) my current space could not support a 7'/84"/220cm umbrella/reflector and b) not having the clients willing to pay for the product coming from such a reflector, i opted for the $55 6'/72"/180cm(ish) reflector and purchased a soft box diffuser for it for about another $20. i like what you did here, and you INFLUENCED my purchasing!!! lol

The point where the background meets the floor needs work. It ruins the photo.

fantastic vid!! explanation & diagrams are 👌🏼 thanks so much for this… i know it was done quite awhile back but still stands 💪🏼💪🏼today and very helpful, i got some solid info to work with - many thanks!

1600 ISO? WHY?

I use this Spyder calibration system on my iMac monitor. I don’t usually print portraits, but I tried it a couple days ago on my Epson SC900 printer. I use the ICC profiles for the paper, do soft proofing and the skin tone on my subject is pink. The print doesn’t match the soft proof image at all and it’s only on the skin, the rest of the image is perfect. Any ideas on how to solve this? Thanks in advance!!

I should have spoken with Evolve at SF23

Well I guess I am set😊

Great video and information. True that it’s an all in one lens when you put it that way. I have the sigma 105 f1.4 lens and I’m considering the macro version. Thanks!

Why f11? That's not the sweet spot for this lens. A stop or two lower is all you need.

Brilliant! Thank you 😊

Simple video. Love it

Tell me about the colors of final images you show on the screen they look very warm Like to know more about it Thank you

What about Microfiber back grounds?

Hey Sal, I get this delivers a consistent product and it is a reference point to how all your prices will get printed, assuming the printer dials in the same parameters to correct different printing machines. But the whole fail here is that every single client, unless they calibrate their machines, will not see what you see. If they print yes, but most people consume photo and video content on screens, laptops and phones. So the consistency is lost.

Hey Alissa, didn't know you guys did other stuff before you had your name channel. I know you shoot profoto or Sal does but here in Australia they are even more expensive. Just dropped a bunch of cash for a set of FJ80s and accessories. I like the UI it looks simple on my brain lol 🤣. How did you find them? I normal wouldn't ask something like this in a video like this but there is not to many FJ80 vid reviews. Cheers

What a timely video for me! I just purchased a new M1 MacBook Pro (switching from a PC). I edited my first photo, had it printed from Mpix and sure enough, the white balance was way warmer on the print. I have an older colormunki so I downloaded the latest software and calibrated the MacBook. After calibration the monitor was slightly "warmer" but I'm not convinced it's perfect. I was wondering what preset I should be using durning the calibration? Should I leave it on "Apple XDR Display" or the "Photography P3-D65" preset?

Lol I love this video. Informative. But I swear no matter how many times I try this, my images never look like this. I have shadows of everything & everyone off the walls and ceilings. Thank God they're just practice right now but I have a reception coming up & im scared. Another shoot in a few days indoors. Indoors is not my thing. Oh well I'll keep practicing.

Very essential tutorial. Thank you!
