Just something about me…
Since prior to my entry into the wedding industry, I have been considered to be one of the most reputable lighting specialists in the Philippines, conducting workshops nationwide and have been featured in various photography magazines. I was also a multi-awarded portrait and advertising photographer.
My expertise is in manipulating ambient and artificial light to create clean and classic photographs which naturally led me to the genre of portrait and wedding photography. Since then, I have shot numerous weddings locally and overseas exhibiting my signature style.

best photography tutorial on youtube, the rest of the youtubers are always concerned about their promotions and are not straight to the point.. but here you learn step by step, thank you so much jiggie, i follow you on every social media..
Thank you
Jiggy for the Win Always!! Thank you for making these incredibly informative videos!! You are inspiring so many people to learn, to try and to be better!!
Really glad to hear that
I've watched many photography videos and this is my first of yours. Here is where yours excels IMHO...
• Well organized and planned presentation that first tells what you will do, then tells how you are doing it, at the conclusion clearly summarizes what we just saw.
• Good camera/lens/flash settings descriptions, setup dimensions, and the "why" for all of them.
• Absolutely love the continuous video screen split of 2/3 for the entire scene (you, camera, lighting, and subject) and 1/3 for your camera LCD image/settings! So much better than having a videographer wandering around out of sight trying to figure out where to point the video camera.
• Extremely good delivery, volume, speech- without hysteria and fake enthusiasm. Just good, solid how-to and tips.
Thank you for sharing this first-rate video. ⭐x5
Thanks for that cool rundown :)
Jiggie..The Godfather of Small Studios!!Thank you!
I am impressed by the consistent high quality of your videos, and by Coco’s posing. Very informative. Thank you.
Thank you
Completely agree! Top-notch videos...I've learned so much.
excellent video, thank you very much, great example for shooting in a small studio! Plus - your wife is very beautiful and photogenic, wow!
Thank you :)
You have such a wonderful way about teaching..precise and calm.. thank you and your wife is absolutely stunning. such a natural beauty. I am so happy I found your channel..
Very informative, as usual. Coco is so photogenic and sure knows how to strike a pose!
Yes she does :)
Love this serie of videos! This was once again as straightforward as it can get! 👌🏻👌🏻😊
More to come :)
i have taken this class. Thanks.
Thank you! This is by far the best informative video I’ve found on UA-cam for this!
Glad to hear that, check out the rest of the videos in the channel for more lighting tutorials
i love the way you complement your wife sir..
😊 thank you
Keep in mind you can only do this with a full frame. If you're on crop you may have to lay on the floor or use 24mm or wider.
Tahank you for video jiggie, abrazo desde Buenos Aires!!
You’re welcome
The shadow you do have on the backdrop is a very pleasing addition to the look of the portrait.
Thanks :)
Yes, been waiting for this. I struggle with this. Thanks
You’re welcome
Great results Juggie, but I bet that would work just as well with your umbrella and defuser.
It would but will a little less control :)
Fabuloso tío Jiggie,FABULOSO!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you!
Great tips., beautiful model
Thanks for the info I needed this
Love your Videos, simple and straight foward.
Thank you
i love youre videos! i can see all details and settings...
😁
This was an awesome demo. I like you show your results. Your subject was very professional and easy to work with. A subject that knows their craft is so much better to work with.
🙏🙏🙏
Coco is fiiiine!
Exellent video jiggie ,cheers from mexico
Thank you, hello from Manila
Very informative and quality content, you got a new subs jiggie! ♥️
Welcome
Excelente video , muy buenos e ilustrativos Jiggie, saludos desde Lima-Perú.
🙏
Thanks Jiggie for your motivation! Peter
You’re welcome
Thanks Jiggie for your wonderful tutorial. As always, I enjoy your teaching style very much. One thing I found puzzling is when you opened your aperture by 4 stops (from f/5.6 to f/1.4) and used an ND32 neutral density filter to darken by 5 stops, I was expecting a 1 stop underexposure (4-5 = -1 stop). Instead, you had an overexposure and you need to reduce your flash power by half a stop (9.5 to 9.0) to make it work. Can you explain? My guess is perhaps you used an ND8 filter instead.
Thanks for sharing
You’re welcome
Muy bueno Alejandrino. 🙏 thank you.
You’re welcome
Thank you for the video sir Jiggie. :) Nice. A full body shoot indoors. :)
You’re welcome
Thank you🙂
🙏
Excellent Video...Very helpful.
Glad it was
Great discussions. Solid
🙏
Great job love it
Glad you do!
You used a 50mm and you were 10 feet away from the subject?
Hey Jiggy! What is on the ground? PVC?
BTW I guess you need more room, that backdrop is too cloose to your model... to see some background wash...
Hi Sir, very nice and inspiring videos. i would like to ask how to set focusing point automatically focusing on eye. i observe your camera always focus eye automatically. can you teach me please. thanx
great sir.
very admiring
Glad you like it
buen trabajo man!
Thank you
really nicely done! :-)
Thanks
How were you able to see what your camera is seeing when its so dark?
Does the quality of a flash impact its ability to do HSS? I have a Godox V860iiC, AD200’s, and an AD600. I haven’t noticed any degradation…yet.
Using an ND was a great tip. Thanks.
I don't think so. I have same combination of strobes & speedlight. In this particular video, the shutter speed is way too much. That's the reason the picture was underexposed.
Great sir
Thank you
Excellent fullbody portraits there. I shoot with Godox AD200 and I observe that the photos have a very pure white shade. The colour temperature of the flash is 5600K and even after keeping the same temperature in the camera while shooting, the output is very white. How are you managing to get a warm output because I think your flash temperature is also around 5600K?
Flash units from different brands tend to give different color temperatures. One of the reasons why some are more expensive than others
here for new knowledge, but can I just say that i love it when you hype your wife up. relationship goals.
I appreciate that
Please do you have a video on your fake flooring, need to get one
If you were shooting with an 85MM prime lens on an APS sensor, how far should the subject be from the camera in other to have a full-body shoot without any area of the body being out of focus?
Hello Sir Jiggy, would like to ask nadin po sana yung brand nung backdrop stand :)
Thank you! I was looking for something like this and you nailed it. Can you please share the ND filter you used so I can have the same amazing results?
Hoya ND32 amzn.to/39bTyQS
@@JiggieAlejandrino Thanks! 🙏
Maybe feather the light more.. That backdrop seem very reflective.. Nice work though. Love the videos.
Nope that’s the actual design of the backdrop you’re seeing
@@JiggieAlejandrino ya
. Its annoying...

Welcome :)
How to turn on Sony A7r4 high-speed sync?
Very nice sir my studio also small
Sir my one question plz tell me when I shoo hight kee photo subject dress is over when dress perfect subject under how to control light
Then you need to either replace the dress to a darker shade or add more light
I have the issue where the feet still end up dark. Is there a way to fix that before post editing?
Sir jiggy 2 light setup please or 3 light setup or editing frequency separation dodge and burn please
Maybe one of these days. But do check out the rest of the videos in the channel
@@JiggieAlejandrino I already did 😁 and I did learn a lot thank you for sharing your knowledge
Instead of putting on an nd filter, why couldn't you lower the power of the flash? Learning so much from your channel right now as I'm just starting out on flash and your videos have been highly informative
Because if I did then ambient light would already be a part of the image
@@JiggieAlejandrino Oh right! Thanks so much for clarifying!
Hi Jiggie! Great video as always! Would i be able to get the same result using an ad200 and a 60in Octabox or photek softlighter? Thank you!!
Similar yes I would assume that
Great job!! How many stops is the nd filter? I didnt get it in my poor English😅
8 stops
How does the camera man take his own photos. Without help. Taking photos require 2 persons. If I am the camera man and want to make my own photos. How do I go about doing it.
pwede ba sa a6000 ?
Hi Jiggie, how are you?. Do you think you can obtain a full body picture using just one normal Speedlite? (And the Same modifier)
Yes definitely, I would have used my Speedlight but I just wanted to exercise the profoto :) lol
Should we shoot full body portraits at eye level or waist level? Which is better in your experience?
Subjects waist level
@@JiggieAlejandrino thank you 👍
question lang po. when you tried F1.4 and HSS enabled, why did you jump to 1/2000 for the SS instead of going something slower like 1/640? iniisip ko lang po if the shot at F1.4 would be possible without ND filter. thank you :)
Because I needed to remove ambient light
Why is the camera so low, where do focus being that low?
Shooting full body portraits camera location should be approximate models waist to prevent distortion. Focus is still on the face or better yet the eye
Doesn't 1.4 blurr out parts of her face/body etcetera?
depends on how far the subject is from the camera
@@JiggieAlejandrino the depth of field between her eyes and the tip of her nose depends on how far the subject is from the camera? 🤔 Interesting
@@Totte.Lundgren and your focal length
Hi brother...I am from India...i love your videos....i enjoyed it....i am big fan of yours....
I need help...i am photographer...but i can't afford full frame body...i need sony A7III....i can't start my business.....can you help me out... it's my pleasure.... thank you
Instead of the ND filter, why not turn down the flash power and go to f 1.4?
Because that would bring in the ambient light since I was using pretty strong video lights
@@JiggieAlejandrino You are right I didn't think of that. Thanks
Your wife is really good
She is :)
Ok am I the only one here that get annoying by him calling her babe? Every 10 seconds. I know that is his wife but every second. Be side that great tutorial. Like always.
