    Great video Faye! It actually looks good! I think you can create more contrast by not using a lantern but a normal softbox with a grid on it! This way your background is a bit darker and your backlight/hair light creates a more distinct effect separating you more from the background. The practical lights will then also show better on screen! I would use the Zhiyun cinepeer in my own new studio setup and to make amazing content and tell stories in 2025.

    Just the fill light at 4:39 actually looks great, but I understand that the dramatic look isn’t what you’re going for. The problem is that the background is too bright, especially since there’s the solid white door taking the right ⅓ to ⅓ of the frame. The lantern soft box is simply too big and too diffused for your space. If you use another one of your fill lights and put barn doors on it to restrict where it goes you should be able to get the light on your face without too much spill on the background. Good luck!

    Hi Faye.
    At 03:49 we can see your desk and where you are placing the light. You can try bouncing the key light on to your position off the angled ceiling in the corner without the diffuser or barn doors if you have them could be interesting. Getting bolder with background colour lighting in the winter months could stand out, just a few more options for you to consider. I think the flap that opened on that camera may of been for the light meter instead of a flash, happy to be corrected. Seasons greetings to you, your family, and sending good vibes from London.

    looks great, but I'd be binning the big lantern and just putting a smaller diffuser on. In fact, 1 more of those smaller fill lights would probably be powerful enough for you key light in that small space

    Awesome video Faye. I love your new set up, although your natural light one, gives you a dreamier look, both are great tho. If i win the Cinepeer C100 I would use it in a portrait photoshoot. As a fill light somewhere in the background to make my set up pop up and give more character. You can never have too many lights, and the more practical the better 💯💯

    The small door that popped up on your vintage film camera is a cover for a simple light meter that does not need a battery. I believe the smaller of your old film cameras probably use 35mm film. The larger one with the bellows might use 120 roll film, but it could use 620 or 820 which are more or less unobtainable, or even individual pieces of cut film. I hope this is helpful.

    You can make your background darker by getting your key light closer to you (inverse square law).
    The color pop light pops best in shadow areas. To create more shadow, consider moving your fill close to the camera’s axis and use a lower power than your key light. Then use your color pop on the side opposite your key light.
    All this is very subjective but can be fun to play with and can teach you a lot.

    Ik zou hem gebruikten voor baby/kleuter/peutershoot. Helaas met de geboorte van onze 2 prachtige dochtertjes nog niet veel tijd gehad om fotografie weer op te pakken. MAAR daar komt steeds meer tijd weer voor en dan zou zo een prachtige lamp niet misstaan in de gear🤩 @ is mijn pagina en die is nog veeeeeel te leeg dus daar moet snel verandering in komen!

    Great video! I've always been intimidated by lighting as well, but, I know the reflected lights seen in eyes are called catchlights. Also the flip up glass thing is an early form of light meter.

    personally i wouldn’t add another dedicated fill light in your situation. Your room is not that big. The key light is already bounding everywhere. It is a lantern makes it spread more. So u essentially already have light filling in the short side. More fill reduce the contrast and dimension, make it not cinematic. But it is just me. 😊

    Lighting is always a personal thing. If you are happy with the results then that's all that matters. Personally the end result is good apart from the reflection you have in the gloss paint on your door. You could solve this by changing the angle of your video shoot. You could of course move the lights so you can't see them but just changing the angle of your shoot would solve that problem. I'll have to pass on the giveaway as I don't use instagram. It's a shame but there you go.... I Hope you all have a wonderful Christmas

You made very good use of the street lighting. I think I will use the Cinepeer C100 for my new born baby🤔🤔🤔 if I win. Plus wish you a happy New Year and hope you can keep going, make more awesome videos and take more nice pics.🤞🤞🤞

    In my opinion skip de Key Light when using a Lantern. The lighting is way to flat for my taste. Although you will lose one catch light. But you will introduce a bit of shadow, which i think is great.
