Helping me out so much man! Doing my son's senior pics today. I have the eye and have had a hard time understanding photography. Thank you for sharing this video!
Your idea of wide , mid and tight on the same pose to get 3 different photos is genius. I have incorporated this into my shoots and it has made a world of difference. The clients love the options and it helps with up sales. Always great videos.
Matt Hernandez does it again! I'm a sucker for a good one light set up, so those were my favorites for sure! Loved how you posed her on the fallen tree. I need to slow myself down and perfect my posing skills!
I am getting back into senior portraits, and I'm working on quick and easy set ups. I love the simplicity of this set up. 2 lights will be plenty when trying to work fast, and the gelled kicker really sets that shot apart in my opinion. Thanks for posting!
Great video. Hey, Matt, at 3:09, is your assistant holding a light stand, or is that some Westcott lighting pole thing? LOL sorry for the silly question.
Love this video and everything it offers. I do have one question though. Can you please link the standard reflector with the magnetic CTO gel that was used for the second light in this video? Thanks
Matt when you say diffuser i get confused, the dishes come with the white diffusers 1 inside and 1 outer edge, and then there's the deflector metal deflector plate, do you sue the metal plate on the inside or just the diffusers.
@WestcottLighting Thanks for a great video! QUESTION: I am new to fish photography and was just wondering why and how you get by with using such a low shutter of 1/60? When using flash - what do you use the shutter speed, the aperture and the ISO to control? Thanks in advance ;-)
I just have never seen OCF not look like someone is standing under lights in a kitchen, when done during golden hour outdoors. Blending natural light with 5600k flash never seems to work well, even with a CTO gel. Nothing beats that natural golden hour light, in my opinion.
2:54min is a nice photo. However it looks not right (=natural) to me, since the sun is coming from behind and "artifical sun" is coming from camera right (and have different colors as well).

That FJ400 gelled rim light was 🔥
Thanks Eli!
You heard it here first, you can't spell Westcott without the W! Once again, stunning work.
Appreciate it, thanks for watching!!
Your lighting is impressive. If only I could take vacation shots of my family like that, instead of the boring social media shots I normally do.
Should make a world lighting assistant appreciation Day!

Amazing location and lighting! Thank you Matt & Westcott!

Same here. Love the dramatic one light portrait
Great job Matt & the Westcott crew!!
Thanks James!!
Thank you!
@@WestcottLightingwhat is the cost of photo shoot with two ppl (cameraman and lightning)? Is it hourly?
Beautiful work, Matt! Well done!
Beautiful work and great info. Thank you!
Our pleasure!

Glad I'm not having to choose - I liked all of them. I just got a FJ400 but haven't got to really use it yet
You need to get to work haha. They are great! Thank you so much 😊
Shooting that Sal Cincotta technique, tight middle wide vert. & horiz. 👍🏼📸 I do the same thing. Keep up the great work. ✌🏼
I really liked the use of the gelled rim light. Excellent work!
Glad you like it!
Thank you!
All setups were excellent
Absolutely beautiful. Thank you for the inspiration and information. Ohio looks great. 📸
Glad you enjoyed it!
Nice work here as well...great points to consider.
Hey man! I really appreciate your knowledge
Sure thing!
Thank you!
Welcome!
How nice it must be to have massive, open, unpopulated locations where the cops don't come and shut you down two minutes into a shoot! 😂
I feel that.
Ohio does have its benefits! 🤣
I sure wasnt complaining 😂
Ohio does have many places like this!
Great shots! Great video!
Thanks for visiting!
I e used orange gels for faking sunlight before and let me tell you, it is NOT as easy as it seems! I applaud your amazing work here.
Man stunning work Matt! Really enjoyed this video as Im considering the Fj400 to start doing portraits myself.
Awesome, thank you!
Love this! Can I ask what type of monopod you have attached to the light to extend it? Looking for a good one for this exact purpose! Thanks!
It's the Westcott Mini-Boom Arm: www.fjwestcott.com/products/mini-boom-arm-weight-bag
@@WestcottLighting Thanks so much! Going to look into purchasing one right away!
Thank you for asking this, I was coming to ask the exact same question!!
Hi Matt, could you add some specifics on the FJ400 settings for some of these? Love knowing the camera specifics but lighting settings add even more.
Great video. Hey, Matt, at 3:09, is your assistant holding a light stand, or is that some Westcott lighting pole thing? LOL sorry for the silly question.
It's our mini boom arm! www.fjwestcott.com/products/mini-boom-arm-weight-bag
Haha there are no silly questions! I think they answers it 😊 Thank you!
I wish there’s more photos as examples!
niiice pictures!! OHIO!! My state!
Thank you!

Thanks
Thanks for watching! The reflector and gels are included with the FJ400 Strobe!
I noticed in the meta data you posted on the examples it was 1/60 - 1/100 shutter, no problems with blur?
Matt when you say diffuser i get confused, the dishes come with the white diffusers 1 inside and 1 outer edge, and then there's the deflector metal deflector plate, do you sue the metal plate on the inside or just the diffusers.
How do you determine what the best location is for your off camera light? Camera left or right?

When I read senior I always think 60+ age people. I always forget that’s what you use for college kids.
You’re probably not the only one 😂
WoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooW

Were you at 5500 K the whole time or did you change it due to the gel ?
What Camera was this
Matt was using the Sony Alpha 1
Nice
Very nice
Where in Ohio is that?
Oak Openings Metropark, just outside of Swanton.

发育很好
honestly all of them were.
You know what I hate about this brand of photography is people just slap a 1.2 lens on their camera and charge absurd amounts for ‘okay’ photos
Good thing I used a 2.8 and lighting for this one 😂😂😂
or some of us who love using an f/1.2 lens wide open and love using OCF :)
