  • You can do a lot with white seamless. In this video I walk you through the gear, the space, and finding exposure with hot lights. There's more information and links in the blog post that is associated with this video.

    Part two covers lighting with strobes and then post production after the shoot. Be sure to check out the blog posts on DEDPXL for more information and jump in on the comments there for questions.
    Cheers,

    The white seamless tutorial on your blog was really helpful for me and now this is like a hundred times better than that. The high quality makes me think I should be paying for this, but as a student with a very limited budget I really appreciate the fact that I don't have to. Thanks, Zack!

    one of the best and most meticulous tutorial on white background. Love to see how the light changes as you vidotape and turn strobe lights on and off. Luckily my studio is an old barn, I don't have to worry about side or top...and the split screen was great!!! I photograph animals and always working with black, white, tan fur and want to get animal and backdrop perfectly.

    Ace photographer, master educator and all round good guy Zack Arias takes his original blogpost on lighting a white seamless background, which in itself was awesome, and totally grinds it into the dust with a SUPERB new video production spanning two parts and delivers what is surely a photographic masterclass on using off camera flash to get the classic all-white seamless look. This is part 1 of 2 and covers space considerations, theory, set up, lighting types/ratios, controlling light spill, problem solving etc as well as how to easily and quickly alter the scene at will to produce non-white backgrounds, all through the clever manipulation of lighting. Running at almost half an hour per episode it's truly a great way to learn how to pull this technique off in camera, with almost zero photoshop required except some basic cleaning up in post and elevate those photography skills to a whole new level. Oh, and this is totally FREE education by the way which deserves massive respect to the guy and his team. If you're new to or feel intimidated by the thought of using off camera flash (as God surely intended us to do) then I'd recommend you to head on over to the DEDPXL website for more enlightenment. Zack's One LIght education material is about the best there is and after recently purchasing it during the 7DayDeal offer that ran a while back I'd have to say, it has helped me massively get to grips with lighting in my own photography and boosted my confidence and knowledge beyond measure. Highly recommended. Enjoy ;) #education #lighting #offcameraflash #strobist #zackarias #seamless #dedpxl #LightingWeek

  • @chikung
    @chikung 7 років тому

    Such a great way to explain and demonstrate all the inter-dependencies between light power, distance and exposure. This makes me question the habit of taking a reading of the strobe and exposing for that reading. It makes one parameter absolute and I see in this video that you are playing with the three of them in a relative fashion...
