I just found you and I've learned a lot already !!! ❤❤❤Thank for your wonderful content! I've been struggling with lighting and your explanations are so clear that I I'm sure that my work will go to the next level. Regards from Norway ❤
@@EliInfante I'm always on the lookout for cool t-shirts. A week ago I was a day late for a newly released limited edition t-shirt from www.johnkenntees.com. Not a plug, but do check out his tees.
@@EliInfante To be honest you're doing great. From shooting models to editing photos. Perfect! I just want you to keep uploading your work, so that everyone can learn most out of it. Lot's of support and love ❤️
Thanks Eli! You are a legend, great to see someone talking about the importance of height and angle of the key light, most people only say "key is 45 degrees from subject with 45 inclination" but they forget about the height of the light relative to the subject! Good job!!!
Great video Eli. Eli I would like to ask what flag would you recommend to start. Keep in mind that I would like to use in studio and also outdoor. Thank you Eli m.
hey how high is it in your studio. I have a room that is 210 cm high, is it enough to set the light for such lighting  hey how high is it in your studio. I have a room that is 210 cm high, is it enough to set the light for such lighting. Thanks
It's probably a stupid question but when you put your settings so that it is totally dark, then how can you take a picture? Is there a flash that is giving light before you take the picture. Sorry but my English is not perfect so I hope that you know what I mean?
Very simple and clear! You explained key decisions for an aspiring portrait photographer. Regarding adjusting exposure: how about using the histogram rather than going by eyeballing the image on the camera?
Eli, please make more tutorials like this one, hopefully one with HSS/TTLs with one light...one question, I would’ve choose 1/4 would as I find it more flattering. Am I wrong to make this decision?
You're right. I almost never shoot portraits at less than f.5.6. Even f.4 or 4.5 run the risk of blurring parts of the subject. If I need a blurry background I can do that in post. Watch out for noise with under exposure..
Thanks for you instructions specially on potrait setup... I would like to know in your experience using backdrop vinyl type, it will reflet the light? thanks.
Good day Eli, I'm a wedding photographer who's about to start doing some studio photography. I saw that you used the beauty dish which I'm looking into getting but is it the right thing to get, is it durable, and, any suggestions on what to get as a starter?
Eli: Nice video that gives me some good information on setting up lighting and reflection. How do you do your color balancing? I'd use the gray back round as a 'gray card' in Lightroom. You have a good sense of how to get good portraits of your models.
Sir where is the link of the edit? Please help cant seem to find on the description. Thanks!

@@EliInfante Bueno, casi todo el pedo....what about the camera settings for focus point and metering?
What is the fan your using to blow her hair in the session?

Awesome video! What’s the name of the fan you’re using??

Metering is faster and looks more professional to a client. I can usually guess about where I need to be on f stop, but I meter anyway.
Everyone has a preference for their process. Do whatever works best for you 😁
@@EliInfante Very true. Interesting video.

I appreciate that! I try to be as helpful as possible :)
I don't see a link anywhere for the wind machine you guys used.
Its in the comments section I believe
Great vid, thanks
Thanks vato loco!
@@EliInfante a por todo ese Pedo loco
Amazing I definitely needed this I’ve been struggling on studio lighting thank you so much
You’re welcome Randy! Is there anything I didn’t cover that I can do in a future video?
I've been looking for this! Thanks for sharing!
Glad I could help!
woooow great video, enjoyed alot. cute charming model.
Thank you 🤗
So inspiring, thanks lots...🙏
Appreciate it man! Thank you so much for watching 😁
During this are you looking thru the eye piece at the model since it is so dark or looking thru the live monitor
When using flash the camera will add exposure for you to focus.
please do more of these !!!!
That's the plan :)
Very well done! I subscribed.
Thank you so much! Welcome to the channel 😁
Can you please provide the link to buy the backdrop
Oluyemi Ajiboso It’s in the description 😁
Great video with good clear information 👍 keep them coming
More to come!
Do you recall the fan (@3:27) used for this shoot?
Link should be in the chat somewhere
Great video as always.
I appreciate it!
Great work brother
Thanks man! Let me know if there is anything you want me to cover in a future video.
Great video Eli. Eli I would like to ask what flag would you recommend to start. Keep in mind that I would like to use in studio and also outdoor. Thank you Eli m.
Westcott sells flags for the studio.
@@EliInfante sorry Eli, I meant flashes 😅.
@@EliInfante thanks for replaying. I can’t wait to attend your workshops next year.
What size is that backdrop
The largest available I believe.
wow this video was too educating, thanks for putting this out here, i appreciate...
Glad it was helpful!
Awesome information! Thank you! I love the break down of the steps.
You are so welcome!
Camera full frame or APS-C ? LENS FOCAL LENGTH?
Full frame Sony A73 with Zeiss 55mm.
@@EliInfante thanks. Awesome result
Great video and you did a very good job explaining everything. Keep up the good work.
Much appreciated!
hey how high is it in your studio. I have a room that is 210 cm high, is it enough to set the light for such lighting

Ur video is awesome all time.. lots of information and enjoing video😘
Thank you so much Ayaan😀! Always appreciate the constant support on my channel.
@@EliInfante yaa man always😘.... Ur all video i m already saved as for practice.. ur video so helpful for me 😬
Wait....what fan were you using to blow the hair?
I found it on amazon
my canon 5d mk iii sync speed is f/160
Fabulous instructions, man👏👏👏 I love the use of a white reflector on the left side to lighten up the shadows on the model👍
Thanks so much!
I'm really glad you have stopped looking at your monitor when talking to us. Good job man.
Just for you John!
Thanks for sharing.....
You’re welcome Miguel! Thanks for tuning in man!
I love this video, now it looks so simple ! thank you
You're so welcome!
It's probably a stupid question but when you put your settings so that it is totally dark, then how can you take a picture? Is there a flash that is giving light before you take the picture. Sorry but my English is not perfect so I hope that you know what I mean?
The mirrorless camera will add auto exposure in the preview for that reason Erik. Great question btw
Very simple and clear! You explained key decisions for an aspiring portrait photographer.
Regarding adjusting exposure: how about using the histogram rather than going by eyeballing the image on the camera?
Appreciate it John! You could use the histogram but I've trained my eyes to look at the end exposure. :)
Nice
Thanks Shameer!
Nice Video Brother
Appreciate it man! I love making content for you guys 😁
Eli, please make more tutorials like this one, hopefully one with HSS/TTLs with one light...one question, I would’ve choose 1/4 would as I find it more flattering. Am I wrong to make this decision?
More videos coming soon! As for 1/4 power everyone has a preference its no biggie :)
Where did you get a fans that can be put on a stand!?!? Great video love that backdrop for sure!!
You can buy it on amazon :) amzn.to/31FdSaj

You're right. I almost never shoot portraits at less than f.5.6. Even f.4 or 4.5 run the risk of blurring parts of the subject. If I need a blurry background I can do that in post. Watch out for noise with under exposure..

You're welcome Antonio! I didn't notice any light reflection on the backdrop.
Great video! Do you have a link for that justin clamp?
I don't sorry! I believe a bought it from Amazon a few years ago.
Thanks for this Eli, what size was the backdrop?
Largest one they have on their website :)
@@EliInfante thank you
What size backdrop were you using? I found that a 5x3 ,although economical, is just not big enough. I think the one you are using is a perfect size.
12ft x 7ft
🙏😍
Thank you!
Nice video Eli! The link you've mentioned for the Fox backdrop redirects to another url which is all in Hebrew and I can't find the product.
Updated! Sorry about that Farzin
@@EliInfante No problem at all, thanks!
