Wait...I'm really confused. 2-1/2 hours of an in-depth tutorial on lighting explained beautifully within a well produced video...and it's 100% free? That doesn't make sense, but boy am I grateful for it. Thanks Chris!
The tutorial itself is 10+ hours. This was just the intro...... that's how we roll.
Wow. Didn't realize I'd been watching this for an hour and a half until I read this comment.
where can I get the full tutorial?
Its in the description. Its pretty pricey tho but honestly if the quality and info is this level its worth a shot to save for specially if you like doing portraits. Im certainly gonna try and get it
@@mel2998 what? It's only 200 usd. At the moment it's even on sale for 100$.
That's really cheap for the information!
I don't know how youtube randomly connected to this video, but wow man, what a fantastic effort this is.
That model is incredibly disciplined, and very beautiful. Can't believe she sat with a perfect posture for 2 and a half hrs😳
Actually the full tutorial is 10 hours
So she sat for 10 hours
@@kevinnguyen552 Whoa🙌🏽
Love no fluff no frills no cheesy music just quality lessons on portrait light setup!
respect to this dude for keeping his voice, and energy up for 2 hours explaining this. I felt fatigued for him.
He probably should have broken this tutorial up into 2 or 3 segments. I hope the model is paid well. She had to set motionless for hours
That what makes him pro:)
I'm glad to see Pentax getting some love.
Same, Pentaxian here and the system is underrated.
The longest and the easiest lighting tutorial I've ever seen. Thank you so much
I didn't know Ryan Reynolds is such a talented photographer. Great video!
Beautiful assistant.🥰
You know you are the bomb when you have lindsey Adler as an assistent on set.
not really, she is just one of those people who got famous for no reason, maybe because the name is catchy but no real actual talent. Her work is ok at best.
😍😘💗
@@eccentricsmithy2746 gimmie your url to your portofolio than.
@@eccentricsmithy2746 your photography must be amazing, can we check out your work?
@@KenCheng My name is pretty catchy. Maybe I'll be famous one day, too!! LOL
The model is so beautiful that the explanation doesn't sink in at all…
Love the fact that his "assistant" is one of the best photographers in the game! I am always inspired by Lindsey's work! Loved the video too! PROEDU always has exceptional tutorials and production!
I just noticed that is Lindsey Adler. This is a great tutorial.
30mins in and I already know more than I did.
Absolutely one of the best tutorials I’ve seen on UA-cam.
Now back to the vid.
Thanks!
masterpiece of a tutorial
You know this guys is great when he has Lindsay Adler as his assistant.
and as his girlfriend. smart dude.
Lindsay Adler Photography Wow, very lucky guy. Smart and talented indeed.
@@lindsayadlerphoto That's hilarious....Lindsay said, "You woman are on notice, he's mine" lol....nice
@@lindsayadlerphoto so you like the short runts?
This is too good to be free, but I'm not complaining.
If you are willing to commit almost 3 hours to learn, then be assured you will take home a wealth of information and knowledge from this video. This is for me one of the greatest photography tutorial online. I consider myself to be lucky for having come across this video. Thank you so much.

Chris Knight nailed this tutorial! The fact that not only he showed every principle to lighting imaginable, he also spoke to the beginner through the pro. Well done Chris!!
I was looking for this kind of tutorials, with dramatic tones. Thanks a lot !
I love the honesty at the end of this tutorial.. espy when he says “ it’s a luxury not a necessity “
Chris is a master full of real-world advice and knowledge. Have you watched the full course?
Amazing.
I’m at 5 mins bored but know in my heart that this is one to watch till the end. I feel like I’m watching a master.
I’ve been watching it over the course of a week
It is a worthwhile one for sure
This is the light I'm proudest to learn, just breathtaking.
I am not even finished with the video and I must say, this is the best tutorial for beginner studio photographers I have seen. I have been shooting studio work for years and only recently opened my own studio after years of renting by the hour so sessions. I will recommend beginners and established shooters watch this, twice. It took me years to become effective in getting what is desired but this video represents years of self-discovery. Nothing new was presented since the fundamentals are well established but the great advantage of this video is the way it was presented, in a way that is accessible to everyone. It is not common for a skilled practitioner in any field to be able to explain it to others with such clarity and smoothly.
Good work. I just hope my competition does not see this:>)
This was extremely helpful, I do want to say, the model has extreme patience, sitting this still for this video.
Xxxc
Mil GRACIAAAAASS MILA GRACIAS
For a minute there I thought your assistant is Lindsay Adler haha. Great tutorial, amazing content
This is honestly probably the best tutorial I’ve ever seen on any subject.
This is far beyond watching UA-cam videos on photography tips and techniques. This is more like taking a free photography class on lighting. It's amazing this didn't cost me a penny. Extremely appreciated.
Just noticed that it’s one of my favourite female photographers - lindsay adler - providing the support.
Love her work.
Great catch. I noticed her also. Many individuals, who watched this tutorial probably didn't know that the assistant in this tutorial, is also an incredible photographer, with a plethora of knowledge.
They're a couple. Chris and Lindsay have been seeing each other for quite some time
I must be doing something right in life because I stumbled across this Tut by sheer accident. I am a cinematographer, but the same principles apply to film as well. This find is a GOLDMINE!!!!!!! Thank you. The universe is amazing.
I found it by accident also and am amazed and happy
props to the model for sitting there for hours
Like a boss!
Chris: "YOU DA MAN"! :) THANKS FOR THIS TUTORIAL!
The best lighting tutorial that I watch! So much detailed! thanks for this!
This is the best portraiture tutorial on UA-cam.
I had no earthly right to watch this for free. You sir are a saint among us.
Love the way Chris walks through lighting... In a way asking one to explore the visual magic one could create with preplanning the image in ones mind :-)
Everyone should upvote this.
What a lovely and elegant model. She must be a ballet dancer, they are the only models i have worked with that can remain that still and composed for so long. One thing I have learned over the years as that for a model sitting there for that long it would help her greatly to have an apple box under her feet to even out her sitting position. For me the 6" box worked the best and looks like it would be perfect for her. If you look at how she had to keep her feet bent for that whole session, that could be alleviated by the support and she will appreciate you for it. Kudo's for using a light meter. It drives me bonkers seeing these videos on lighting and they say you don't need a meter and spend several minutes each shot guessing exposure. Also it is the only way to truly get ratio lighting. People will spend thousands on cameras and lenses yet won't spend a few hundred on a good meter. Shame on them. So well done. Thanks for the time spent on accuracy, especially nailing the hot spots when even using a modifier. Folks talk about feathering but don't explain it well. Maybe they don't understand it so well, so you guys did a great job on that part.
Bonsoir, un grand merci pour ce cours très clair !
University quality lecture I can’t believe this is free. Thank you.
Amazing and inspiring to have discovered a master of light
Thoughtful, sharp gentleman with a depth of knowledge and scope. Thank you for reigniting my love for photography.
I love how at the end, he brings perspective to this tutorial that hard work is still the driving force for success.
Excellent and thanks Chris. And Lindsay as the assistant using Profoto lighting. First class combination.
Only half way through but OMG, this is covering the works, thank you Chris for an amazing tutorial, I’m glad I’ve paid for your CL presentations. Kudos to Lindsay and your extremely perfect model.👏👏👏
What a crew, last lightning class I'll see, hard work payed off on this video, well done.
Sitting at home during this "lockdown" period this was so welcome. Chris explained the process perfectly. He uses the equipment to effect. Yes, some of us think we know it all, but there is always something new to learn in photography. Lovely images that clearly showed what he was explaining. Thank you for an entertaining, to the point tutorial that covered such a wide field. Excellent work, What helped to make this tutorial work was the excellent video work and sound. Well done team.
Excellent lighting tutorial. Really helpful explanation on lighting ratio. Thank You.
Thank you so much for sharing your talent at all let alone for free. You are unbelievable. You have no idea what you have done for me. I'm opening a studio and most of my shooting has been outside so this is absolutely incredible.
Chris Knight… the best teacher one can ever wish for to learn lighting and portraiture… lucky to have had learned from him in person at NYFA!
Wow, thank you soo much for this video! The best on YT for shure!
Excellent. Thorough and to the point. Covers a lot. I learned a lot. 👍
Wow! This was really a great tutorial on shaping light and more of interest for me, the affects of the various light modifiers and how they shape the light. Well done, thank you.
without a doubt the best lighting tutor on the tube. Thank you so much
Glad you loved it! We have much more, including more chapters of this tutorial, on PROEDU.com
This tutorial is pure gold. Thank you to the artist Chris K. his work on this vid is complete: the length of the video, the direction, his knowledge and even the voice and his tone. It keeps you interested in the class at all times. and when you finish you know you acknowledged something of great value.
By listening and watching Chris Knight educating us on lightning you can understand clearly where the quality of Chris’ work comes from...
Very impressive explanation !
We're very lucky to have these beautiful, inspiring videos to learn from. The camera community is so generous and helpful; thanks for passing on your knowledge and for your hard work. Subscribed.
The Best Tutorial on UA-cam which covers all the subjects precisely and comprehensively. I wish I had found this Video earlier :) Awesome teaching.
WOW!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH! Definitely the best in-depth tutorial on UA-cam!!! Look forward to more to come!!!
So great! Learnt a lot tonight. Very grateful for your time putting this together!!!
Very clear presentation. I've been looking for a few more lights, and which modifiers to get has been a major point of indecision. The comparisons between modifiers was extremely helpful.
Truly informative and in-depth coverage of portraiture lighting!
Wow!!!! What an amazing tutorial. I've looked at all kinds of flash photography videos but this one is 6 star quality! Thank you and your team so much for your time and effort in this. Absolutely invaluable.
Thank you for the incredible gift you give us.

Great tutorial! I appreciate the model's patience.
Bravo Chris 👏
I can see the shadow difference in the Octo and Beauty Dish if you look close you can see the light fall off on her shadow side. This was really good thanks!
hi, this is the first time i have found someone who actually "shows and tells" i have enjoyed immensely this video with its no nonsense approach - looking forward to more and putting them into practice and improve my work, thank you so much for taking the time to make the tutorials!

This video is better than the paid courses. Thanks man
Amazing and educational tutorial about lighting I've ever seen!
Great content , Thankyou
This covers everything I read in his book. But in the book you have a physical reference. It’s still great in general. I thank this platform for providing useful information. It’s really smart because I paid only after I learned, if you get the gift. So yes, give first and you shall receive. Don’t be one of those dreadful artists that take knowledge to their deathbeds.
Thanks a ton guys xD ! Really really amazing video and damn! This was my first time with Chris and he's super super amazing!
Congratulations PRO EDU Photography
Very well explained. I definitely feel like I learned something about manipulating light. I will be sure to use these tips in my future portraits!
I am going through this video again. And I will always go back to it so the day I have my own studio it would be a lot easier. Thanks for this.
Superb tutorial/demonstration, thank you.
