Controlling Light in Small Spaces with Chris Knight | Photography Demo
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 лют 2025
- 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.

UNTIL NEXT TIME!
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.
Love watching Chris in action,he is amazing !!!!!
master in his job. Great examples step by step. Nice job!
Chris Knight the king , thank you Adorama :)
💙💙💙
Excellent as always, from Chris. Such a master of light.
I will check other videos also to get ideas for my next personal project. Great work by the photographer and Adorama. Thanks!!
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 might have missed that info but that is his lens? The depth it gives is quite nice!
I'm four months late...Chris Knight!!! Love this!
Profoto not firing! 😮
Never seen one of those Avenger D570 grip arms w swivel before..now I want one!!
Fantastic video. Really useful 👌🏼👍🏼👍🏼
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!
Pro demo. Excellent work from the model as well.
Great Video!
wonderful presentation! Always enjoy Chris’s teaching style & lighting.
Love what was explained at 11:00. Makes so much sense
This was great and very informative. Chris is an amazing teacher and photographer
very helpful and hope you do more complicated lighting.
This was dope, definitely saving this
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.
This was excellent
Thank you for joining us! Chris is awesome 😊
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 stopped watching Adorama years ago. My photography has accelerated immensely.
now THAT
is a portrait model. wow lol
Were you once a sales person in Donaldsons in Sayville NY?
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
He’s a good model
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.
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.
Chris sounds like Kenny Florian.
First time I saw a profoto light failing
