    I second all the suggestions calling for more "For Beginners" content! I've been booking steady castings with the headshots I took by myself following your advice - and I'm a total amateur when it comes to photography 😁 Thank you thank you!

  • @nikyabell1167

    I'm 100% self taught, and I have no idea what really any of this stuff is (I mean I know what lights and backdrops are LOL) but.. You explain things so well, and thoroughly. I just wanted to say thank you for being so helpful!

  • @elizabeth2181

    I take photos outside a lot and have only used natural light but I now have access to a studio and felt lost. This video was short and sweet but VERY informative. I feel more confident going into the studio now. Thank you for doing this.

    Tommy said beginning at 5:14 he likes to "shoot in the dark to make sure there's no other light around, but the lights he is pointing at his model". I didn't hear him say if he uses the modeling lights on his strobes. Auto focus needs light to focus. Also, shooting in darkness will dilate the model's pupils. Our pupils dilate in a dark room, but they don't react fast enough to the flash of a strobe light. Dilated pupils look unnatural in photos. I'm assuming he uses the modeling lights, but I didn't hear him talk about them. Great video, thanks Tommy!

Keep up the awesome amazing photography work, and also keep these informative video tutorials coming. Oh and I am also a Professional Photographer located in New Orleans. And now I am a fan of your and your model’s work. I just started following you and her on instagram. God bless you both. And you can find me on instagram @leonardmclendon
