My camera seems to be having a lot of trouble focusing on the subject when I have it set for flash. My dog as a longer snout so I’ve had it at 1/250, F13 and ISO 1000. I’m using two speed lights with a soft box for the key light and bracket for the rim light. Camera just seems to take forever to focus, I’m using an A7 IV
My exact one is an older version that is 20cm wide, but this one is the closest and the same height at 90cm, with the grid: www.essentialphoto.co.uk/products/pixapro-30x90cm-easy-open-strip-umbrella-softbox-with-4cm-grid
Very good tutorial as usual.. I got one speedlite a reflector.. And now a grey card on the way after watching one of your videos... Sadly one of my pets died the other day Daisy.. And this is the first video I have been able to watch.. With pets in it.. I was wondering if you had any advice on photographing pets after a loss..as at the moment I can't even look at another bunny.. And i photograph rabbits to help get them adopted.. I hope you don't mind me asking this question.
Amazing thank you - I really struggle with knowing what lights to use and when and where to place them so this has been super helpful. Just need to keep on practising. Beanie what a star!
yes, but they'll spread further, so helps to have a grid on them, or you can mask parts of them with craft cardboard. Usually you end up with it pointing at less than 45 degrees, to limit the light coming forward and throw the spare light behind the subject. They work fine, just takes a little extra fiddling.
@@daemon1143 thank you for your response ☺️. I was actually practicing today and I can see where the fiddling comes in. I will try tomorrow again with your suggestions! Thanks
Hi Jess, what would you say is the minimum t.01 flash duration needed for crisp action shots in studio (treat catching, jumping etc)? Love your work! 😊
Hi Jess, forgive me for posting this question here but wasn't sure where else to ask it. I want to photograph mainly miniature dachshund dogs which don't really get bigger than 11 lbs. I haven't yet bought my backdrop because I'm not sure what size stand/paper rolls to buy. Can you recommend a good size for this need? Thank you so much in advance. This will be super helpful!!
Hi Jess! I have been binging your dog photography videos. What would you suggest for an entry level camera for pet portrait photography? I have a Canon T2i and was looking to upgrade but not sure which would be a better investment. Thank you so much! (Also if anyone else wants to put their own recommendations I would appreciate that too) :)
It was especially helpful to see you moving your lights around and to see what that accomplished. Thanks so much!
Thank you Dori 🙏 So great to her you enjoyed the video ❤️

Brilliant tutorial. Thank you. Such a beautiful and obedient model.
Thank you so much for your kind words 🙏 she really enjoys a photoshoot 🥰
This is such a great help. I'm still trying to light my subjects more fully and keep the background dark.
That's great feedback, thank you, so glad it's helping 🙏
What size softbox are you using? The narrowness seems obviously useful for minimizing spill to the front and especially the background.

Another great tutorial and it's always great to get to see Beanie!!
Thank you 🙏 Beanie loves a photoshoot ❤️

aww thank you 🥰 so pleased it's helped
Love your videos ! Just starting out and it’s very helpful ❤
Thank you and I am glad that the content is proving useful for you 🤓
Great Jess! Do we mostly use rim with dark background and dark dogs? can we use reflector for purpose of rim?
Beanie did a great job. Love your dogs. :)
Beanie is a little superstar ⭐
Hi, If I do not have another flash, could I add a reflector on the back instead?
I love the lighting tutorials! So helpful ☺️ …..even though I don’t have light yet 😩
Thank you Elaine 🙏 at least you'll be ready to go as and when you do 🥰
Thank you for the video. Such a good dog as usual. Always appreciate your videos as I learn.
Thank you Lawrence, that's really kind 🙏 So pleased you enjoyed it. Beanie loves to be in a video !🥰
Fantastic video and a lot of super tips. Keep up the amazing work jess.
And beanie too. What a fantastic model.
Stewie that's so kind, thank you 🙏 great to know you enjoyed the video, thank you for your continued support 😊
This video helps out a lot. I only have octagonal softboxes, can this be used as a rim light too?
yes, but they'll spread further, so helps to have a grid on them, or you can mask parts of them with craft cardboard.

2.72m gives you options if you can fit it in, smaller is ok but you still might need to do expansions 🤓
Awesome! Thank you so much!!!@@ThatPhotographySpot

I'd definitely go for a Sony mirrorless - such as the A7iii for example, I've found the Sony very light to handle and very versatile
Thanks Jess, useful information. 😊
