A deep indirect umbrella without diffuser is great in a small space. I guess umbrella's are not expensive enough, so they use beautydish and grids to be the cool kid on the block. I still stick with my deep umbrella (and a histogram). thnx for the demo though.
interesting, thank you. although taking a headshot of a model looking into a light didn't really illustrate the struggle of lighting a portrait (lets say at least half body) in a small space.
Great video. I am guessing the 100s is a medium format camera, so the conversation lf focal lengths to 35mm would increase not decrease the equivalency? I.e. a 55mm on medium format is possibly 70mm and not 40mm?
Always interesting to learn. I will say that it would have been better if the model did the same pose each time instead of moving his head in different directions. That way we can compare apples to apples
I think if the subject was very close to the modifier, or the modifier was very large then the grid would have to make the light softer, because the angle from the furthest part of the modifier would be greater and so the grid would block that light and effectively make the glowing surface smaller. Maybe that rarely happens in practice.
@@memcrew1 Why not? If you look at a grid from very close you'll see it makes the effective part of the light smaller, as it blocks light coming from the edges as that would require an extreme angle. And a smaller light is a harder light.
@@memcrew1 You said that but you're not giving any substantial evidence for it or explanation of it or engaging with my argument that it must make the light harder in some circumstances.
@@barneylaurance1865 I don’t have to give you anything. There are plenty of ppl in the business who have explained this, even the guy in this video said the same.
master in his job. Great examples step by step. Nice job!
I will check other videos also to get ideas for my next personal project. Great work by the photographer and Adorama. Thanks!!
Love watching Chris in action,he is amazing !!!!!
One of the top instructors like Gavin, Lindsay, and Daniel. Great for startup or shows.
Lindsay and Daniel? I bet you haven't learnt a darn thing from either.
Chris Knight the king , thank you Adorama :)
💙💙💙
Excellent as always, from Chris. Such a master of light.
Studio lighting is my favorite thing to play around
I've not seen Chris before and really enjoyed watching how he used so many lights in that restricted space and created such great images.
I'm four months late...Chris Knight!!! Love this!
Pro demo. Excellent work from the model as well.
Fantastic video. Really useful 👌🏼👍🏼👍🏼
wonderful presentation! Always enjoy Chris’s teaching style & lighting.
This was great and very informative. Chris is an amazing teacher and photographer
Seth, Gavin, and Daniel are my go to people with portraits but Chris is right up there with them. Love every demo this guy does.
Agreed, what a list 🙌 🙌 🙌
who are Seth, Gavin (Hoey?) and Danile? thanks!
Love what was explained at 11:00. Makes so much sense
very helpful and hope you do more complicated lighting.
Never seen one of those Avenger D570 grip arms w swivel before..now I want one!!
This was dope, definitely saving this
Profoto not firing! 😮
Great Video!
I might have missed that info but that is his lens? The depth it gives is quite nice!
This was excellent
Thank you for joining us! Chris is awesome 😊

Were you once a sales person in Donaldsons in Sayville NY?

@glassosiris - MF goes down in mm fov, crop sensor gives more mm fov … mf 55mm will equal 44mm fov in FF
He’s a good model
now THAT
is a portrait model. wow lol

Grids don’t affect the hardness or softness of a light.

And a smaller light is a harder light.

I stopped watching Adorama years ago. My photography has accelerated immensely.
Chris sounds like Kenny Florian.
First time I saw a profoto light failing
