We've all had zero experience at some point. We learn, we experiment, and we learn some more and at some point along the line we've gotten the experience and earned the knowledge to take great photos.
So many photographers are so picky about everything. When I started out as a wedding photographer I was told 35mm was no good and had to use medium format. Then all those clowns that said 35mm was no good and then they all jumped on digital DSLR. One photographer told me taking photos of people downtown was weird and told me not to do that. Today its called street photography. Was told my camera is to small and clients will look down at me because I use Mickey Four Thirds. Nikon ambassador Moose Peterson someone ask him about color and he said its not a big. He said something like the person that will be looking at these images or buying a print was not there on location when he took the photo.
I always wonder how you get that fill light. Do you combine the flashes with natural light? The strip box alone would not give such even light across the frame, would it? Great work anyway, John!
Just an important note, especially for beginners, no need for expensive Sony flashes or VERY expensive Magmod. Godox speedlights and their softboxes are very affordable and work amazingly. Nic work otherwise.
Sorry, you must’ve missed the part where I said it doesn’t matter which soft box you used or flash system. But for me personally, I use Sony flashes because they work the best on this system and actually have warranty service and repair available if they ever need it.
How did you get that "golden warm" look in the last shots. The light from the video doesn't look close to that... If you ever feel like do a post production video, I am here for it. Thanks again, another wonderful video.
I love the shoulder portraits. Lighting was just .. perfecto!
Thank you. My favorite as well
Those last shots were FIRE! Stunning light!
Thank you. It’s a lot of fun with strip lights. Many looks.
I love the way you work. And the results is amazing! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much. That is really appreciated.
The last shot was perfection

Thank you as always! Hope you are having an amazing start to your weekend

There is a combination of light but yes, a strip can fill the frame for sure.
What lenses have you been using for this shoot?
Thanks.
Great Portraits!
I used the 50mm F1.4
Can you tell me are you using ambient light as well?It seems so even and well lit for such a small strip box. Thanks!
There is a 25% fill with ambient. But a strip box will surprise you. It can throw some light.
You shoot for a lot of clothing brands are all your clients local or do you have to email or cold call companies across the country?
I have one local and the rest are remote

I set a warmer white balance in-camera.
