Honest and informative. No matter what new small modifiers come on the market, if they are small, they cannot compete with larger modifiers - especially where soft light is concerned. The MagSphere is very useful, but it doesn't replace a large modifier in most situations.
Thanks for the info. This is the fist video I've seen from someone who's not affiliated with Magmod or works directly at Magmod. Was looking for an unbiased opinion - thanks again.
@@tonyroscaphotography I was going to say the same thing. Every time I'm setting up a big softbox, I wonder about this simple diffuser that I could pop on, and every MagMod affiliate talks about them as if they are perfect for every setup. Seeing the results both indoors and outdoors against a small softbox is really helpful. Thank you!
Super helpful! I love the portability of this modifier... I wonder if a second magsphere or a reflector would help alleviate some of the issues when darkening the background.
For me a second light will better because you can move it further away from the subject if you want to include environment in the pic . With reflectors you have to stay pretty close .
Any ideas on how to get someone not wanting to be photographed as a model? ( Like you, I have a beautiful wife (in my eyes) but she is so shy in front of the camera)
You will need to start photographing her few times a week for a couple of months and the shyness will wear off. Dont make it serious so she doesnt get nervous . I started needing somebody to set up my lights , than experimenting with new set up for clients and checking equipment , i was not even downloading the pics from the cards most of the time because was testing only. Lidia was shy too and it took a while . Make it fun , compliment her and give her some time to get used being photographed , and do it over and over again . Start photographing her without posing so she can be relaxed . Have patience ! You can do it !
