I noticed that the hair light was flush and even with the backdrop pointed straight forward and not at a 45 degree angle towards her head. Is this the way you prefer hair lights? To just hit them with the edge of the light versus the whole light? Great vid btw!
What a great video and I appreciate the fact that you did it in less than 10 minutes. I really appreciate that that you talk very quickly move very quickly and yet are very clear in your instructions. Your videos make it easy not to get distracted into immediately apply the information. Great job I referred to them a lot.
Thanks for making this a short video. With the lights so close to the model, this can create an uneven exposure from one side of the face to the other. When shooting several people that can be really noticeable. In this case, I like the falloff because of the cinematic look it creates.
i very much like the process. set the key to proper exposure. set the hair light to how many stops less than proper exposure. got it. my issue is in my small white wall studio, (6 feet wide x 9 feet deep x 8 feet tall) i often have trouble setting up the hair light so it's not spilling onto either the background or the nose. how about a YT vid about "where" to put the hair light? thanks for the effort and the sharing. thumbs up to you and marisa.
Will the light placement differ much with the size of the modifier? Should the hair light be rectangular or does that matter? Can Marisa take a bad picture?
Nice Dan, thankyou. One thing I did notice..... in the frame you shot of 'just the backlight', her face was still showing some light. Is this just light bouncing off the diffusion of the main light and acting as a reflector or is room light coming into play? I know how much you like to get a black frame at start 😃😃 I notice you using 200th @ f5.6 with 100 iso, but wondering if that was still picking up some ambient???
Я хотел добавить что некоторые ваши фотографии Мариссы похожи на картины Вермеера, это очень отличается от того что делает большинство фотографов и это очень мне нравится
5-6 LOL Aah, the good ol' days of Polaroid. We had a Portrait instructor that told us to watch how they light movies and soap operas, and the other day I noticed 90% of the female actors were lit with a butterfly lighting pattern. rise could be a future Bond girl ;-)
Hi Daniel and Marisa . . . you two are always amazing to watch ... great model and brilliant creator ... Simple and very effective technique love it
Thank you, dear Daniel and Marissa!

More great content! Thanks Daniel and Marisa 😎👍🇨🇦
Good video folks. Thanks. Is Marisa's hair getting longer or did she style it differently.
Excellent!

Thanks for this. Short and sweet and too the point. It should help me improve my skills in studio.
Love you guys ❤
Simple is best, two lights maximum for me, otherwise it'll get too artificial. Nice.
Thank you, Daniel! Is is also best practice to have the hair light in a modifier vs a bare bulb?

Great!

That was bounce from the key lights diffusion. If we stood where the key was we would be able to see some of that hair light softbox.
Thanks, you two! :)
Nice but I feel it’s still a little bit hard and bright. Or maybe use a softening filter?

So why even bother with a light meter only to abandon it? Oh that’s right, you’re not shooting on film…
I do the same with film- it’s called experience 🤷🏻♂️
