Very informative lesson and easy to comprehend Chris is my favorite portrait photographer please don’t leave him alone, I enjoy his lessons so please send him my regards.
Chris Knight is without a doubt the one I've learned most from on UA-cam when it comes to photographic with strobes Thank you so much for another great video!
Its a great instrucional video, I'm not sure what the "too much talking" comment is about, the talking/explanation is more important to understanding than simply firing off shots. Explaining the what/why/how is far more useful imho, and Chris explains it really well. Thanks! I already have (and use) a 308X, but do want to upgrade to the L858 at some point :)
This is terrific! I love this long-form content with detailed information. Please share more long-form content like this. Chris is terrific photographer and teacher; his choice of recreating Karsh with flash strobes is terrific. Well done--I feel like I learned a few things here. It was cool to see Chris setting up a photo with just a light meter and no test shots.
48:36 Correct me if I'm being wrong, but putting a sock on a modifier does not make the light from it softer, it makes it diffused (instead of being direct without the sock). With all due respect to Chris!
Correct, the sock diffuses the light. Therefore it will take on more qualities of softer light, but depending on the relative distance and relative size compared to the subject will dictate how much of a softening effect it has.
@@SekonicGlobal so..like we can see in the 2 videos by chris knight, with profoto system, he is using 2 profoto connect pro? (one in his hand one mounted on the camera?) it will work also with one profoto connect pro and one older profoto air remote ttl? thanks so much for the info.. and.. great content 👍🏻
We work with some of the best commercial portrait photographers in the world, and they often choose the aperture based on the look they are going for, what they want in focus, and the lighting. One aperture definitely doesn't fit every shoot. - Ab Sesay
We need to see more of Chris and his well paced explanations! Well done
Thank you for the feedback. We are looking to do more long-form content.

Your welcome and more to come.
Great content! I'd love to know what filter did Chris use?! Anyone any idea?
He was using a Black Pro Mist or Hollywood filter.
You always teaching well, thank you for sharing your art, .
So nice of you, Im sure Chris will love to hear this.
Thank you
Your welcome. Thank you for watching.
hi! great video! as profoto user, to use L-858D we have to trigger like him with a second remote (like him, the one in his left hand)?
Yes, correct. There currently isn't an internal module to remotely fire the lights. You have to use cordless flash mode.

f11 is a commercial zone of focus ........required to reach a usable zone of focus. FOR PRINT WORK..... Where do these teachers come from?
