    I need to get a smaller umbrella because I have a 60 inch moon light modifier (?) But I cannot wait to try this. Perhaps with this larger modifier, I could get full body shots? Im so excited now, for my day off!! Your teaching style is perfect for me!!! Thank you so much for sharing yoir knowledge

    hi short question. i just bought an reflective umbrella with diffuser brand falcon eyes. the call it the 118 cm. seems now that the diameters is 90cm and the curve that it makes....118cm. a little bit misleading. not what i had in mind. sow i was wondering. the phottix 120 cm has it 120 cm diameters in reality ? thanks a lot. thanks for the super tutorials. greetz from belgium

    I see you use very small pocket flashes for indoor, is that cus the flashes like AD200 are too powerful for indoor use? I hv been trying to balance the ambient light 1st then add flash but AD200 completely wash off the pic even at the lowest power. Should i use a pocket flash which is less power?

    Jiggie - this is outstanding. I have a question that may have ben answered in the comments already so my apologies is that's the case. Was there any other ambient light in the room? I'm not sure if you were shooting in the dark or if you just exposed so the pic would be dark. If you had a light on, I think you would be picking up "extra" light with the settings you mentioned. I want to try this at home but want to give myself a fighting chance. Thanks! Just beautiful

    tried this with "self-portraits" because MY muse is at work... they didnt turn out ANYWHERE close to what you have. and not just because your bride is so much prettier than my mug is!
    used too big a sheet of foam core i think
    . 32x40 vs 20x30 but thought id like a bit more background. im using a fully lit 60" shoot through umbrella...
    i TOO was directed here by Mike Zelbel....

    • @JiggieAlejandrino
      @JiggieAlejandrino  3 роки тому

      there we go, try using a smaller foam core or using a bigger modifier. Experimentation is the fun part of shooting and learning :)

    • @truthsayers8725
      @truthsayers8725 3 роки тому

      i went with a smaller foam core but its really not wide enough for anyone wider than "super model" sized... i thought for SURE a 60" umbrella would be wide enough...

    Thank you sir! This is simply amazing. Previously I tried different techniques with trial and errors. Today, I tried your technique by using two softboxes put it behind the standing black board since I don't have a large softbox like yours. I posted on my instagram account at myokyawhtun and you may find it there. I truly appreciate you posting this kind of tutorial which help the people like us.
