- Master Portrait Photographer, Tim Kelly at work in a client's home to do a SOLO PORTRAIT of beautiful Nicole. Watch Tim and his assistants produce a large and varied collection of portraits with just two studio backgrounds, and three outfits. While it takes 30-40 minutes to set up a session like this, with the shoot itself was under 90 mins.
.
All images were made on our Canon 5D Mark IV using remote controlled Photogenic Power Lights with a couple of GODOX V1 Speedlights for kick, hair or background spot. Triggering was accomplished by using a GODOX X2T wireless transmitter on my camera hot shoe and mounting my Pocket Wizard transmitter on the GODOX transmitter using it's top mounted hot shoe, There you go - firing two types of lighting together.
It works every time for me. I hope it does for you. No tricks or complicated settings. 1/125th sec.

I've seen all your videos. Thank you for sharing ! Best by far.
Wow, thank you!
Thanks, Tim, for demostrating your techniques here and other videos. You were using your own backgrounds, Photogenics, and other primary studio equipment. I'd like to see how you pack and carry this much equipment for location work.
One bag for stands, two cases of Powerlights, one case Godox, one camera case, one case of cables and cords and the backgrounds. And oh. Three assistants😄
@@TimKellysMasterPhotoTechniques Thanks. Now I don't feel bad about how much I pack!
@@TimKellysMasterPhotoTechniques Thumbs up for three assistants lol.
@@adventure9606 Whenever possible.
I really like the way you pose your clients...its very elegant and classy👌👌👌
Thank you so much 😀
Good job Tim. You usually like more of A solemn expressions. You made her laugh with the dog joke.
90% were serious moods. We tried to keep the video feel fun.
Greetings from Down Under here in Australia.....Another Master Class by the Master, great stuff as usual Tim !
Many thanks!
good to hear from ya again tim
Thanks!
I love watching your flow, Tim. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and skill here!
Thanks for watching, Stephen!
I love this, you are a perfectionist like me . I'm learning from you a lot, thank you!
You are so welcome
I think it is invaluable to see the effort that goes into posing. There is such an emphasis on lifestyle portraits now a days that there is a loss in understanding of classical posing. You obviously do not feel rushed but I know that comes from years of experience and understanding and remaining true to your style.
I appreciate your comments and they are mostly true! The reason for mastering posing either casual or classical is that you learn to bring the best out of your client.
Thank you!
I believe the more competent you are in all styles the better. Yes, it's all for the benefit of the client. I choose to make the the most flattering and optimistic interpretation of my subject WITHOUT even a shred of fantasy. I don't regard such as portraiture really. Professional photography, yes, but not portraiture.
Always superb Tim. Thank you! Had expected your Godox set up on this shoot.
Partial Godox😊
It's been a while, Tim! Thanks for the great content!
It's been post production bottle necks. We have about five new videos shot and in post. Our studio is immensely busy (for which I'm grateful!) Thanks for watching.
@@TimKellysMasterPhotoTechniques I forgot to mention I appreciated the mom taking the crew shot at the end. The unsung heroes that help make the magic.
I have a photogenic 1500 power light that has blown a capacitor. Could you tell me where I could have it serviced?
Thanks for watching! I'm afraid I don't have an answer for that. I haven't had to have service in 10+ years. It will happen to me again. I'm sure.
How did you light the ambient , did you use a strobe to the ceiling? if so , how many? I know you shoot 8 or 10 f stop so ambient is killed, and you create it ?
I didn't use any ambient light. I overpowered it. Of course in the video there appears to be plenty, but it doesn't work in to the photographs.
I'm likely shooting @f10 1/125, so if the flash fails to fire, the frame is nearly full black.
The main light is used AS NORMAL. Normal studio working distances, as is the standing reflector.
The difference would be the base illumination, of fill light, which in this case is two powerlights bouncing off the corner of white wall and ceiling from 20+ feet away and 12' high. To get an effective base /shadow value of f/6.3-8, they are pumping out about 400 watts each. (No additional diffusion, of course)
A pretty normal set up for me when on location.
@@TimKellysMasterPhotoTechniques Thank you for the explanation, the fill in this video was very effective , just final question on it please, were they the corners on the same side as the key light? or opposite to the talent ( On axis )? I know you do not like on axis fill, I looked well in the video I did not see other than the background Godox on the same side of the key light…..!
Tim... I wish I could take pictures looking the same way yours do
I have the Nikon d850 and 2 godox Ad600
I have all the modifiers shown and a hand painted backdrop
Would that work?
Thanks for watching! I've been doing studio portraits full time for 55 yrs. I'm sure the results you get will always be equivalent to the effort invested. Education, experience and of course, command of your gear. With two good lights, modifiers and a nice large reflector you can make top notch portraits! I'd always recommend watching my (older) videos on lighting. Nothing in lighting people has changed at all.
Good luck.
@@TimKellysMasterPhotoTechniques Thanks TIM!!! - i am watching them all now!!! - YOU ARE THE BEST photographer ever!!!!!!!!!
You must have been exhausted at the endow this session.
Just my feet wear out. From the time we arrive until we leave, it's been a 3-4 hour dance.
