You are great. I'm a truck driver and I listen to your videos out on the road. I have my d5200 and d700. I'm learning. Thanks again
This was actually helpful. I automatically started thinking "ok so now I need a flash." However, it was amazing to see how changing the angle and matching the brightness of the background made a huge difference. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Yup. THIS was the one mystery I didn’t understand on why some of my photos were amazing and others were muddy and too much shadows in the eye sockets. Changing the direction transformed my photos. I think back on what was behind me on the great photos and I remember the open sky concept; a hill with neutral grass reflecting light back on them; a wide open lake…
The lake one dumbfounded me the most because in my mind I thought “lake in background=amazing photos but they were terrible!!! But turning my couple away from the lake filled in all the shadows on their faces and they really popped!
I love this Kristy! Thanks so much for sharing!
Holly Cow just tried this and its amazing secondary light is great. I have been photographing for a long time and this never dawned on me thank you so much
Glad it helped!
Completely grateful for your videos! I watch them every morning on my way to work!
Can’t wait to keep growing as a new photographer!
So good to hear Maria!
I can't help it but share that every time I watch one of your videos, I am filled with so much love. I think it feels so honest, that you're coming from a true place, the pureness of intention is so unique and rare. I can't help it I know I'm gonna get all your courses when I'm there. thank you
Wow, thank you!
This is simple, great advice. What if you want to capture a sunset behind your subject(common scenario)? Reflector? OCF?
Thanks so much for the tips
I purchased your starter course and it is amazing.
Thanks so much Natasha!
What’s really cool is I didn’t know this had a name… I naturally do it. I’ve been a photographer for 30 years and you just described in detail what my instincts told me to do. Thank you!
I wish I had watched this video before taking photos of my friend's family in the woods. But I managed to fix certain things in post. You deserve 1 mil + subscribers.
Glad it helped! Thanks so much!
J Star had this in one of her courses years ago and I remembered it for years...then I forgot it. Thanks so much for sharing your tips!
Thanks so much for watching!
I got my first camera when I was in jr. high, over 30 years ago and I'm still an amateur. Every time I think I've got photography concepts figured out, my camera makes an idiot out of me. People ask me to take photos, they think I'm an expert because I've always got my camera, and sometimes I get a few good shots, but ultimately I feel like a fool because I miss focus or exposure so often. I've taken workshops, online tutorials, watched youtube videos, joined facebook groups, I even took a photography class in college but I've resigned myself to the fact that I'm just not good at photography. I watched this video, as I do with lots of videos and got excited to try it out. Hopefully I'll be back for more content, you do a great job on presentation.
Katelyn is the lighting QUEEN!
You are the sweetest!
Wow… I cannot believe I didn’t know this… thank you thank you thank YOU!!!! ❤️
Happy to help!
Beautiful
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for all of these reminders!!
You are so welcome!
Tried it....it works!!! Thank you so much for the information. awesome.
Awesome!! Thanks for watching George!!
I love your photography style and you are such a great teacher! I just started learning photography and shoot with m43 cameras. Is the starter course suitable for people who doesn't shoot with full frame?
Yes it totally is!
Good stuff! I teach the same thing in my workshops but call it open shade instead of secondary light. Same concept though.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks 😊. Professional here, but I needed to hear this. 🙏 Thanks again so much!
Glad it was helpful Joshua!
Love this Katelyn and also love your black shirt!! Care to share where you purchased it! Thanks for all you do to help us!! xoxo
Old Navy! Thanks for watching Pam!
Love that 'bye' at the end (great video as well :))
Ohhh well this is great. I just watched this after taking photos this Saturday and had this issue. I wished I watched this before Saturday’s shoot.
Well now you will now for next time!!
@@KatelynJames 😁
A great concept and beautifully illustrated. Thank you!
That means a lot! Thanks so much Judy!
Fantastic, thank you for introducing me to this concept.
My pleasure! Thanks for watching!
Could you do a video on ways we can reduce split lighted backgrounds and adjustments we can make that can help.
Great idea!
at minute 3:45 the photo is very correct, so why in post-production do you edit it overexposed
*Mind Blown* I have totally fallen for the "just find the shade and you'll be good" trap. I've been a photographer for 5-ish years and I am so excited to dive in to the beginner course to fine tune and step back to the basics!
So excited to have you join Sammy!
This concept was one I really struggled with understanding in the L& L course. This video made me understand it SO much better!!
Thanks so much for sharing!
Same!!
Very interesting thank you !
Thanks for watching!
Are you using the 28-70? This is great info thank you!
WE LOVE IT!
Katelyn can you comment on how this might be affected by the time of day? At 2 pm for example, would you do the same? Would this work at 2 pm with no shade/woods?
Who does the editing for your videos? This looks amazing and so good!
Tyler Herrinton!! ua-cam.com/users/theherrintons
Makes total sense!!
Thanks for watching Cindy!
Hello Katelyn i hope your well, i watched your video, one simple question: wouldn’t an on camera flash solve this problem easily ? It wouldn’t matter which way she stood or which way she faced, what do you say on this, your advise would be highly appreciated, thanks in advance.
It definitely would if you like to look a flash photography! I personally love them more natural look.
@@KatelynJames ohh yea you’re right ! Natural is much harder to obtain, love watching your videos keep it up dear Katelyn.
Question how do you apply this while shooting with the light source behind a client? I love a good backlit photo but not certain how to apply this there? Am I missing the point or something here?
This is the type of light I choose to shoot in all the time. You actually can’t have great backlighting without secondary light. If you really struggle with this the starter course is an amazing resource.
This may be a dumb question but does this give the same effect when shooting 35mm film with iso 100 and 400?
Question, what's on the top of your camera? A larger screen attachment?
It's the recorder that allows you to see inside of my camera. It shouldn't be used for real-life shooting!
@@KatelynJames hi this tip was amazing. where can I purchase the recording system your using?
May I ask what lens are you using in this video pls?
For the studio shots Ty uses a Canon 35mm T1.5 CN-E and for the live examples he uses the Canon 16-35 2.8!
Nice video! Question: do you use a UV filter on your 28-70MM to protect it? Why or why not?
We use clear filters just for protection: www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/756817-REG/B_W_66_1066110_72mm_XS_Pro_NANO_Clear.html/?ap=y&ap=y&smp=y&smp=y&lsft=BI%3A6879&gclid=Cj0KCQjwjN-SBhCkARIsACsrBz7_zvuH95xbNxKYGVSYyFtT45as-TUjgunPNLK8Gr499jmH-5mYnBIaAhv0EALw_wcB
Can you tell me what monitor you have on your camera.
It’s an Atomos Ninja V!
Been shooting over 30 years never had that problem. I know when and where to take a photo, its not rocket science.
Thanks for watching!!
To us newbies-it’s helpful.
