I love the adjustable arm for the beauty dish and the rollers on the C Stand…tell me where if u dont mind. I waste so much time adjusting that C-Stand with the Xplor600 on it isn’t easy.
The stands are Flashpoint and the arm is called a Cambo boom arm. You can find them on BH I think. The arms are expensive but worth it! Those stands are tanks!!!!
Your pictures are incredible!!!! Curious if you change lenses when you shoot team vs individuals. Also can you share what lenses you use and what your settings are. I was surprised that you show the pictures afterwards, does this add more time to the shoot? So smart to get them to fall in love with the pictures on location. Do they order/pay before or after the shoot? Thanks so much for the info, I subscribed!
No honestly I used to do that but just got to where the juice wasn't worth the squeeze. I use the 24 to 70 and just adjust accordingly. Typically I just turn vertical for indy's. Obviously I like to be fast but sometimes for the mood of the shoot I like to show really great pics because it gets the people I'm shooting all hyped up and its good for the rest. Sometimes showing takes longer but it does help as well at times. Shoots like these can get boring and I hate boring. As far as money goes, I don't like to discuss that on here. If you want to DM my instagram NP3D, I can give you better information.
I notice you are lighting from above in the front, how are you NOT getting shadows on their eyes and face? Was thinking to have a reflector to angle up a little on the floor to bottom light?
Yes the clamshell technique is great and also having a boom light the I can lower or raise really helps. You also get a bit of reflection from the glossy gym floor as well. Thanks for the question Todd! Enjoy and please come back. Jason
It’s a flashpoint heavy duty light stand with casters and the boom arm is from BH and it’s the Cambo RD-1201. They are pricey but so worth it! I have two of them and really only use one right now but I have two just in case. Thanks for watching!!!
Jason these videos behind the scenes are great! I like being able to see the lighting positions. Are the 3 strobes all the same or can you get by with smaller ones for the fill lights . Thanks , again these pics are amazing
I appreciate it! I really need to do this more but sometimes my teams are in a hurry to practice after and in a lot of instances I’m by myself and the extra setup for video can be frustrating to them. I’ve never had them complain so I’m probably over thinking it. Thanks again for commenting and watching!
I have an aau basketball team coming up soon and I’m looking for suggestion on lighting. I currently just have an ad200 and speed light for portability since I’m a college student. I also have a $600 canon dslr but I plan to get 24-70 with it. Would it be great if I have a 3 light set up with my ad200 and the speedlight for fill light and an Ad400 for key light?
With and AD 400 as your main you can absolutely get away with speed lights as edge and Fill lights or hair lights if needed. I know when I first started that’s what I had to use and it was perfectly fine. Sounds like you are farther along than most.
Not a bad idea at all. I actually had already been planning this for the upcoming season. It’s always about trying new stuff and learning so I really appreciate you watching and the comment! You will have to check out this year’s shoot when it happens!
It’s called a Cambo Boom arm! Look on BH or Adorama. These are the bigger ones. You can get a smaller one but I’d stick with the larger. Thanks for watching and reach out anytime!
When I take the first shot for ambient, I make sure the whole picture is black. Then I start adding light and accents and edge lights. It’s a process but worth it.
keep making more of these sports BTS videos. They are fun to watch!

It's always a good choice to wear anything Tennessee!!!
I think I wear something Tennessee related most days of the week! It’s my thing! Go Vols! Thanks for watching BTW!
Nice posing ideas on the team photos
I appreciate it! It’s never easy posing girls as a guy but I try to do my best! Thanks for watching!

He is using large umbrellas as fill from each side in a “clamshell” setup along with his main light I believe.

Hello!
I like your main Stand. Where I can find one?
It’s a flashpoint heavy duty light stand with casters and the boom arm is from BH and it’s the Cambo RD-1201. They are pricey but so worth it! I have two of them and really only use one right now but I have two just in case. Thanks for watching!!!

Nice video. What’s that lever mechanism on the middle light?
That’s called. Cambo boom arm and It’s is expensive but worth it!!!!
Nice Shoot . But You need Some Light in The Background . too Dark .
Speedlight with Some Gel .
Not a bad idea at all. I actually had already been planning this for the upcoming season. It’s always about trying new stuff and learning so I really appreciate you watching and the comment! You will have to check out this year’s shoot when it happens!
@@NP3D i m a Fan 👍👍👍✌
I prefer the background to be even darker.
What brand/model boom arm are you using?
It’s called a Cambo Boom arm! Look on BH or Adorama. These are the bigger ones. You can get a smaller one but I’d stick with the larger. Thanks for watching and reach out anytime!
What kind of tape do you use to tape the ball for the shots gripping it?
So I used painters tape because I didn’t wanna mess the ball up. There are probably better options but that’s what I had in the bag. 😂
@@NP3D Could you provide an explanation (or a short video) on how you place or use the tape for your desired effect?
How do you get the background so dark?
When I take the first shot for ambient, I make sure the whole picture is black. Then I start adding light and accents and edge lights. It’s a process but worth it.
