Beautiful Process, and I for years used speed lights and I love the versatility and portability. i loveyour work. Keep up the good work and I will keep checking your channel. Thank you.
I so love your videos, i am a budding beginner photographer and portrait photography is what I enjoy most. I found 4 canvases from our local Harbor Freight on sale 10oz in weight 9x12 and cant wait to paint them. I will be following your video to them. Also, i am converting a bedroom into a studio 10x12 with 8ft ceiling. I am so excited and honored to have found you and Sue Bryce to follow.
I am so amazed that you achieved these photos with speed lights. The normal photographic protocol is those expensive robust studio lights connected to a reasonably heavy duty power pack. The fact your self-taught is also amazing……from what I have seen of your work…..it kinda ‘Vanity Fair’ magazine type of quality…..and those types of magazines are really fussy!
Thank you so much for the feedback! I appreciate it :) I would love to use larger strobes, but I found speedlites provide more than enough light in my home studio and they are so much lighter and convenient to work with and store.
@@NicoleCarsonBonilla - Just a by the way…..I also watched your video on the making of backdrops, which were quite beautiful (mind you there’s a considerable amount of work involved)…..you could probably make considerable amount of money by solely making (manufacturing) pre-made backdrops for photographers with your signature label included…perhaps. If you haven’t done so already…..probably producing and filming a ‘Nicole Carson Bonilla Masterclass’ wouldn’t go astray. Great work.
Once again I am blown away at your skills and creativity!!! I would soo love to watch a video on how you edited these photos. I also have Exposure X7 but haven't been able to achieve this look which I absolutely love. Please do an editing video!😊
hi from mumbai, india. i loved your video., the photos are amze, but i really love the way you teach and explain your set up. very good channel. wishing you the best and looking forward to more content.
Thanks for the video Nicole, I found it really helpful. I'd love to see something about your creative process i.e. how you put the clothes together and decided on the colours.
Hi Nick, thank you so much for the feedback! I bought his entire outfit from Goodwill (my local thriftstore). I selected the warm, brown color scheme to unify the background, props, model and dogs. But I still wanted some variations of brown and different textures to keep it interesting. I should've included that in the video :)
Really interesting to watch, thank you for sharing your workflow. Just one question: the edited images appear to be sharpened in a rather unique fashion (oversharpened to my eyes) - is there a special reason for it, a special kind of printer or something?
Hello Georg, thank you so much for the support! I really appreciate it :) The sharpening may look exaggerated in the video. I don't typically sharpen more than most.
Beautiful images and well put together videos. I love your process in explaining things and attention to detail. I am curious to know why you used a DIY doubled diffused baffle with the softbox instead of simply using the already provided baffle? Thank you! 😊
Hi David, I'm so glad you like my videos :) I use the extra double layers of fabric in addition to the white layer of diffusion fabric that comes with the softbox. The three layers soften the harsh light of the speedlite creating soft shadows on my model's face.
So inspiring! I’m about to go look through your videos to see if you have created one about how you colour grade/ edit your photos to achieve the almost ‘painted’ final look to your photos. If you haven’t done that already, please do!! 😊
Was interested but stopped watching part-way through as pointless, distracting background music interferes with the enjoyment of what you were saying. Shame but good luck with what you're doing.
Hello Kinadnuf! Thank you for watching and taking the time to share your experience with me. I will definitely pay extra attention to the music volume in future videos :)
Much respect for how you maximize your space and execute your vision.

Hi Yogesh, thank you so much for the feedback! I appreciate it :)
Me gusta su block y me gustaria que tubiera traduccion en español; es usted muy encantadora en su presentacion Felicidades..!❤
Nice !
thank you! :)
Do you use a Godox flash trigger and if so, does it work with non-Godox flashes or did you have to buy a receiver for each flash? Nice video btw!
I use Godox trigger and receivers that I connect to my Canon speed lites :)
amazing result. Would love to learn more about how to do convincing composites like the dogs! Do you draw the shadow by hand??
Thank you Stephen! Composites definitely take some practice :) I paint in my shadows with a soft paint brush tool.
awesome
Hi Charli, thank you so much! :)
So inspiring!
I’m about to go look through your videos to see if you have created one about how you colour grade/ edit your photos to achieve the almost ‘painted’ final look to your photos.
If you haven’t done that already, please do!! 😊
Thank you for the feedback! An editing video is definitely on my list :)
So for these type of portraits it seems that you under expose the initial image on order to get the look you want in post, is this correct?
Hi Keith, yes, I do slightly under expose and then edit in post.
Thank you for this video I like your work mam
Hi Yogesh, thank you!!
Nice
Thank you Mohammad! :)
How do you edit your photos?
Hi Brenda, I haven't shared that yet but have something in the works :)
wow

The studio has so goodnatural light that you barely need more than one speedl8ght
Yes, I could have used natural light :)
💋💋💋
You're just bumping up exposure in post. Why don't you just shoot with proper exposure. You waste a lot of time in post adjusting exposure.
I've tried both ways and this works best for me :)
Was interested but stopped watching part-way through as pointless, distracting background music interferes with the enjoyment of what you were saying. Shame but good luck with what you're doing.
Hello Kinadnuf! Thank you for watching and taking the time to share your experience with me. I will definitely pay extra attention to the music volume in future videos :)
Thanks, I wasn’t being nasty I promise and I will try some more of your videos 👍
