You asked for vid suggestions on another vid (Lantern V Octo; differences & feasibility as key light). I subbed after that video (you earned it; your production quality/own content lighting are an excellent visual testament to your knowledge on the subject matter, & I (like approx 65% of “new to newly professional” Photogs in my estimation) am heavily invested in the Godox/Flashpoint/Newer lighting system, so you’re poised to do well I believe, albeit in a fairly saturated genre. I liked the way you provided clear visualization of the difference in modifiers in that video (the “blackout” & 2nd cam setup were both definitely premium, non status-quo approaches) and you excelled in that with this one as well. I would love to see more detailed breakdowns of 2-3+ lighting setups, with as much detail as you would be willing to highlight. Example: Head & Shoulders portrait with 85-105mm range lens, 3 lights, either a mix of (Godox/any) flashes or perhaps a mono/strobe & 2 flashes. (This gives rise to the possibility of a slew of different vids, or a series, where the lighting is the changing variable, say 1 w/ just continuous, 1 with just 1 light, and perhaps most interestingly, how the subject, say a multiple person portrait, or a macro, etc etc will influence which lights you choose as key, what role you assign any other lights, and what modifiers you might choose and why) For me, I would be particularly interested in more of your detail describing where you are placing your key/lights, not just for the Rembrandt but perhaps at what distances, and perhaps what your preferred method of adjusting the lights is as you hone a lighting setup. (Moving light closer or further VS increase/decrease intensity, and what exposure settings you perhaps “lock in”, such that modifications must occur in the lighting, or is it instead a matter of flexibility in ISO/Aperture/shutter speed etc) Of course every shoot, subject matter, set location, etc is different. I’m thinking more about the insight into how one goes about efficiently building the lighting to create the best look, &/or how you evaluate & then diagnose any necessary changes. I only provided my 2 cents as it was explicitly solicited in that 1st video. Feel free to disregard if that isn’t your cup of tea. I’m enjoying your current catalog as-is. Cheers.
