as a complete beginner to flash & studio photography in general this so so helpful, i was looking for videos exactly like this. very good explanation too!
Great presentation! I am always surprised at how versatile umbrellas are - silver/white/shoot through with or without added diffusion 'socks'. One can usually come close or equal much more cumbersome and expensive modifiers at fraction of the cost and weight. I think they are under appreciated as much because of marketing hype around other modifiers - no one is making much $$$ selling umbrellas (but photographers and videographers can definitely make the $$$ using them!)
It'd be interesting to hear your thoughts on which modifier is best when using a speedlite. Because when starting out, most of us will only have speedlites.
Hi, the easiest modifier to use with Speedlites are umbrellas, softboxes can also be used with the correct adpaptors. Scrims are also very easy to use with speedlites.
@@VisualEducationStudio I wasn't able to find any softboxes that work with speedlites. At least if my understanding is correct. With a speedlite, the spread of light would be too tight for the softbox. Elinchrom has some inverted mount softboxes, but for some reason only in gigantic sizes. Anyway, as far as I can tell is parabolic umbrellas are the way to go. Either a translucent one with a black back cover, or a reflective one with a diffuser on top.
Hello Karl, how are you? Your classes here on YT are wonderful, thanks for sharing your knowledge. I have a question, I'm opening my studio and I would like to know how you made your infinite background and what paint or material the floor is made of, because I see that you walk quietly on it and it doesn't get dirty. Thanks again.
her face is slim with sharp edges, better not to put shadows on her, because shadows will make her face very hard and slimmer, just use a white panel on the side

Does Broncolor use regular umbrella rod size or is it something different. Where do I find that. Not in the spec sheet
It's regular as far as I know
