Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 жов 2024
- Join us for a live demo in our event space at Adorama with Chris Knight, a Profoto Legend of Light and Fujifilm Creator.
Working in small spaces that bounce light around can become a constant challenge for photographers. Chris uses these tricks and techniques to create absolute control in whatever space you're in.
⚪ Chris Knight
Photographer and Educator
Chris Knight was born in Wiesbaden, Germany, and hardened by the sweaty, nearly chewable, humidity of Florida. He combines his unconditional love of art history with his conditional love of technology, topping it off with a flair for the cinematic and an uncompromising eye for detail.
His work has appeared in or on Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, L Officiel, GQ, People, MSNBC, ABC, Oxygen, Ocean Drive, and others.
Chris is the author of The Dramatic Portrait, a Fujifilm Creator, Profoto Legend of Light, and an instructor at Pratt Institute, as well as, the New York Film Academy.

Love watching Chris in action,he is amazing !!!!!
One of the top instructors like Gavin, Lindsay, and Daniel. Great for startup or show.
Chris Knight the king , thank you Adorama :)
💙💙💙
Thanks for the tips. Shall do some grayscale photos also during the fall.
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.
Studio lighting is my favorite thing to play around
master in his job. Great examples step by step. Nice job!
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!
Glad this pop up again. Doing research on men photography.
Love what was explained at 11:00. Makes so much sense
wonderful presentation! Always enjoy Chris’s teaching style & lighting.
This was great and very informative. Chris is an amazing teacher and photographer
Profoto not firing! 😮
Fantastic video. Really useful 👌🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I'm four months late...Chris Knight!!! Love this!
Pro demo. Excellent work from the model as well.
very helpful and hope you do more complicated lighting.
This was dope, definitely saving this
Excellent as always, from Chris. Such a master of light.
Never seen one of those Avenger D570 grip arms w swivel before..now I want one!!
This was excellent
Thank you for joining us! Chris is awesome 😊
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.
I might have missed that info but that is his lens? The depth it gives is quite nice!
Chris sounds like Kenny Florian.
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
Were you once a sales person in Donaldsons in Sayville NY?
He’s a good model
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?
@glassosiris - MF goes down in mm fov, crop sensor gives more mm fov … mf 55mm will equal 44mm fov in FF
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.
Grids don’t affect the hardness or softness of a light.
@@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.
@@barneylaurance1865 Again, a grid doesn’t affect the hardness or the softness of a 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.
now THAT
is a portrait model. wow lol
First time I saw a profoto light failing
