Another fantastic presentation! I love the look of the Satellite Staro, those round catchlights are perfection. Thank you for creating such an in-depth lighting comparison tool, I don't think people realize how much dedication and detail goes in to something like that. Please never stop educating photographers, from the newcomer to seasoned pro you've got something for everyone. Cheers!
Glad you like them!
When Karl produced the original video which compared and contrasted so very many lighting modifiers, the Satellite Staro was my favorite, no question. To me, it simply yielded the most beautiful light.
I liked what Karl said about it being fashion, beauty, and portraiture at the same time, yet none of those things exactly. He really is on-point with that comment.
It’s good to know that a very similar light can be had from available, in production modifiers!
For my aesthetic and style, the Staro, the Para 88, and the beauty dish (in that order) all deliver the goods in spades.
And I know that because Karl showed me and taught me. So now I save my pennies!
Thank you and glad you're enjoying the videos.
Great content! Interesting that you prefer the parabolic umbrellas with edge/ ring lighting qualities as well as the staro with it's central hotspot. Seemingly opposite ends of the lighting spectrum.
Thank you. I'd say the defocused Para is still my favourite because it is flattering yet also sculpting creating a more 3dimensional feel to the image. Yes you're correct the Staro lighting is the opposite away around (unless you focus the light in a para with that added diffuser) and the results are different but not different in a bad way, just different. In photography we've got many options with different lighting tools to try and describe a mood or a feeling that we want to convey and that's the great thing about all the different lighting tools available, we just have to know what each of them can provide to make the most of them.
Great stuff as usually!
Appreciate that

Sorry but... I hate the light on people eyes..... This round reflections..... Is not natural, for me......
Round reflections are actually probably the most natural, other than fire the brightest light source in the evening or night sky was either the setting sun or the rising full moon, both which would give a round catchlight in the eye. Later in history it was common to see rectangular or window shape reflections in the subjects eyes through the work of painters and their portraits. Often though even in many of the most famous portrait paintings, the catchlight was just a simple white dot. Personally I find the Octabox reflection not as pleasing as it doesn't derive from anything that would ordinarily exist in the world.
@@VisualEducationStudio ...Ok Karl.... But people don´t have any light reflection in "normal" life.... When you see, somebody, on the street you don´t see those reflections in his eyes..... For me is the same when i see reflections in glases.....
@@EstebanMartinez45 People do have catchlights in natural light conditions. For a typical portrait in natural or studio lighting, I don't find the no-catchlight dead-eye look very pleasing. I like to go for one round catchlight per eye on the upper half of the eye. There are no wrong answers though, you do you and I wish you all the best, find what works for you and your clients.
