Thank you so much, Lindsay! I had been looking for that kind of tutorial for so long: simple instructions with the logic behind the decisions explained, doable with minimal equipment. It's also interesting that you also integrate short light, a set-up that we tend to forget sometimes. You nailed the perfect template for a learning photographer to develop his/her chops with!
I have to say, one thing I love is how you are SO popular and SO successful with lighting, my favorite, and you only ever use monolights. So many people obsess over super expensive pack and head lighting systems which can be $10,000+ just for one pack. But you actually get results where it counts-with the concept and how you USE the gear!
As always love the easy down to earth way you present each lesson. I am taking two of your Creative Live courses, and find I am learning more because of the way you teach it.
Lindsay, I always love to hear you speak. You are so passionate and knowledgeable and it is infectious. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos! :)
I usually lean towards low key, but I prefer the high key with this model and comparison. I love being able to see all of the details in her face and especially her hair. What a fantastic job with both setups and final images, as usual. Thank you for continuing to educate and be an inspiration.
@@lindsayadlerphoto Lindsay, I noticed you have a recurrent low-key approach that looks really luxurious. It reminds me the one you did with hard light (using the magnum reflector). I was really impressed. So I have a request: could you do that lush low-key look (hard light/low light) with a male model... I am asking because you can't play with as many aspects (earrings, jewels, glamourous hair style and so on). Just a suggestion. Whatever. Have a great day!✌
This has been the most inspiring tutorial of all that I have bingewatched now that I'm starting with studio flash, thank you ever so much for such helpful content Lindsay!!
Absolutely an outstanding video (as always!😃). Good explanation with appropriate examples to illustrate your points. I especially want to thank you for talking about low-key images. It's a topic that is not always as frequently touched on in instructional videos. Thanks so much again! Wishing you all the best.🙏
Even just the music selection on this one, from the beginning to the end, reinforced so much why I have subscribed! The algorithm working really hard, and really well. This is such a perfect channel that speaks to me in all the right ways! And of course, thank you for this awesome content!
Thank you so much. I am a Photography student and we are still taking courses from home so I am jerry rigging stuff to get the photos and this was extremely helpful.
Great video Lindsay Adler! I must admit when I started taking pictures I thought especially when doing Low Key that the room itself needed to be dark, I like that in your video you show that for the purpose of the video everything is perfectly lit however since you metered for the lights the results were dark. Thank you for sharing so much great information through your channel!
GREAT! GREAT! Millions of times over. Both are excellent. Question: are the lights pointed to the background in both High and low key shots continuous or flash? If continuous, how did you exposed for the background? Thanks.
Another way of doing white background is a flash light with softbox as a background. this gives you a very interesting effect you can see in the first high key picture example - girl's cheekbones, neck and shoulders are lit
Lindsay, you are an educational treasure and quite beautiful to boot! I am just getting into photography and want to try my hand at portraiture and have been learning quite a bit from these videos. I do wonder about the ratio (mix) of the light coming from the beauty dish (ambient) versus the flash and what decision goes into that ratio? Also, how is that metered. I see a lot of photographers remove all ambient light through high shutter speeds, so I am just assuming in this case the dish is being mixed with the flash?
This might just be my favorite video from Lindsay. Created amazing imaged, quickly and simply, with the right information to take away and try to put into practice myself. Thank you!
Fantastic! Grids are the best! What light stand are you using for your strobe that lights the background? I’m struggling with finding short enough stands that aren’t used for GoPros and smart phones.
What I'd do to have you take me under your wing and teach me all you know! You'd be having me knock on the door of your studio daily until you took me in, but I'm in Australia!! : )
Hey Lindsay, thanks a lot for that awesome tutorial. Quick question for you what was your camera settings please ? Aperture and shutter speed thank you
@@marysanchez4789 Nope! Feathering is about the angling of where you point the light. aka not the position... it stays in the same position but you angle it toward or away from the background (for example).
Thanks Lindsey. I am originally a Bronx kid and now I am a high school portrait and sports photographer based in flagstaff and Sedona. Keep up the great work I recently just converted my studio to profoto
Hey amazing work, Just curios how long did it take you to able to switch looks on the fly like that? When I have a shoot I find myself getting stuck visualizing the 1 look and not several other possibilities
I'm so used to doing it that I just already have some looks visualized in my head, or use the situation to dictate what look to do next. It comes with practice I suppose.
I am definitely a lowkey light guy. These pictures are amazing!
your level of professionalism, knowledge and ease of communication never ceases to amaze me
Thank you so much! :)
Good tutorial. You make things easy to understand. Love the Low Key images , they are a lot more interesting to look at.
Thanks so much!
I've purchased many of Lindsey's courses. She's an excellent teacher, due to her skills, experience, and obvious desire to make things understandable.
Thank you so much for the kinds words John! So happy you enjoy the content! ;)
Nice to be reminded of techniques from time to time but to see them in action brings the concept home. Thank you.
You're welcome! :)
Great pictures and beautiful Model!

I could do this with the cheapest strobes if required. Its about how you use it!
@@lindsayadlerphoto Yesssssss 💝

So glad I can help! :)
You could benefit from a cantilever boom arm, you have the stands they are a joy to use.
Thank you! I like how you go throught steps, it makes a lot of sense ❤
I really love your teachings - so clean and clear! Thanks a lot
Great work and stunning images as usual. Love the low key set, those last shots wow. Will have to try it out.
thank you!
Thank you Lindsay for your teachings, insight and inspiration 🙏

That low key shot…wow. Inspired yet so simple.
As usual, clear, precise, strait to the point
You are a great teacher. Clear, concise and informative. Thank you.
Thank you so much!
The low key takes it for me in this set 👍🏽

THAT soft, short-lit low-key Rembrandt! The pose is superb as well. Great direction!
thanks!

Yup. That's a pretty well known technique and I've illustrated that a lot in other videos on my channel.

lol much bigger? :D
SUPER. SUPER , THE BEST VIDEOS
நன்றாக இருக்கிறது வாழ்த்துக்கள் R.MANOHAR-CHENNAI
I actually learned something about lighting other than saying place the light at a 45 degree angle
haha good to know!
How do you present so well in one take?!? You are a natural 🥰
It's not always one take lol.
I saw you today with Joe Edelman, very nice talk and congratulations for this video too. 👍
Thanks so much!
Great video as usual.
Glad you enjoyed it
Great tips and wonderful interview on TogChat.
Thank you!
I forget to watching model... with looking at ur prety face.. keep ❤️❤️
Calista Flockhart never looked so good... Thanks for the tips.
Thanks!
Thank you, it was very helpfull and inspiring
welcome!
Great video! 👍
Thank you!
You made it look so easy! Lol
great 🙏🙏 thank you ❤
great easy to understand explanation

try the manfrotto nano stand!

Awesome Video . Clear and concise directions👍👍👍. Would be very cool if you included the camera settings as a bonus🙂🙂🙂🙂
I have a video about this coming up soon... they don't matter! :P
@@lindsayadlerphoto I will definitely wait for it and please mention me hehheeheheh. Thank you!
very good tutorial
Thanks so much!
Hey Lindsay, thanks a lot for that awesome tutorial. Quick question for you what was your camera settings please ? Aperture and shutter speed thank you
I actually have a video coming out soon about this. :D. 1/200, F/8, ISO 200
@@lindsayadlerphoto thanks a lot i can’t wait to see that video
COOL
Great video. I was wondering about the grid that was used on beauty dish for low key lighting setup. Was it 20 , 30 or 40 degree grid?
Profoto only has one size. :D 25
Can you make lowkey photo outdoor?
It's so easy to understand it because you are a great teacher😎. Is short light the same as feather light? Thanks
Aw thank you so much! I assume you mean "feathering" the light, not feather light, correct?
@@lindsayadlerphoto Hi! Yes, I meant "feathering the light" (sorry). Love all your videos and definitely will be taking your course very soon❤️🙏
@@marysanchez4789 Nope! Feathering is about the angling of where you point the light. aka not the position... it stays in the same position but you angle it toward or away from the background (for example).
@@lindsayadlerphoto Got It. Thanks so much! Have a great week🙏❤️
Well, another great video! I would love to be a unpaid assistant in your studio for a couple of weeks,.
Thank you! Sometimes I have a call out for assistants but generally I hire an intern for that. :)
Thanks Lindsey. I am originally a Bronx kid and now I am a high school portrait and sports photographer based in flagstaff and Sedona.
Keep up the great work
I recently just converted my studio to profoto
You're welcome, thank you for watching! :)
I only have one profoto b 10 , is there any way to get the low key lighting along with a little light on background with one light ? thanks
definitely! Check out learnwithlindsay.com and my one light class will break it down!
