Lindsay, every video you put up, I have to watch and learn. Again no disappointment. Your eye, knowledge, technique and style of teaching is second to known.
I also love Hedy Lamarr. Someone to look up to. I wanted to compare your shot to the one of her. Figured it would be hard to find. It was the very first photo that came up in a search of just her name!
This is a great walkthrough of a technical setup - thanks for sharing these ideas and approach. The White Mist filter was interesting because I recently photographed some portraits of young bride-to-be with the Hasselblad 120mm lens, which is super sharp. Add the 45 degree lighting and it rather emphasised some skin issues that were not so pleasing. With hingsight, I should have used the 80mm or 150mm but this white mist filter might have helped a lot. I do have a "beauty filter" (I think its called) but didn't think to use it.
I am also a HUGE Hedy fan. Beautiful, graceful, funny and smart. In the 40's she patented frequency hopping radio which is still used today and she gave it to the US War Department who didn't know what to do with it. She was one of the most versatile actresses of her time spanning an incredible range of characters and the Gelatin Silver Prints she did with George Hurrell are some the best shadow edge gradient photography on the planet. You get 4 stars for picking Hedy today!
That's such a great shot Lindsay! I really like the old Hollywood look. Thanks for the tutorial of how you achieved it. I did an old Hollywood shoot years ago with one of Tatyana's friends. Tatyana, of course, did the model's hair and makeup.
Thank you, Lindsay. I wonder what your preferred method for B&W conversion is. I loved the lighting here, and also wonder if you thought of projecting the sun rays from behind on a diffusion BG for a more luminous effect.
Great video ending with a beautiful image. Do you think you could do a short vid on difference between white and black mist filter? Assuming there is one. Thanks.
Have you ever taken a class/workshop of anything of value that was free? Not in this country! Here you have a world class photograher, with an an impecable body of work gving you access to her work, sharing her knowledge so that others may enhance their own skillset for no fee. By the way, the Lindsay Adler Optical Spot by Westcott is great you should try some time ;)
That B&W deserves a large print!
Thank you!

Thanks so much!
Omg!!!!
How beautiful . You did a FANTASTIC job!
I have been meaning to watch her documentary .
Thank you!
@@lindsayadlerphoto I would love to plan a photo shoot with this same theme for my Bday - How can i contact you ? I live in New York!
Send me a message through my site, thanks.
I always think of Hurrell when I think of old HW Glam Lighting. Nice job and great vid Lindsay.
Also love Carole Lombard. Directors absolutely loved using eye lights on her... those super close ups.
I also love Hedy Lamarr. Someone to look up to. I wanted to compare your shot to the one of her. Figured it would be hard to find. It was the very first photo that came up in a search of just her name!
Outstanding image and deconstruction.
Thanks for the inspiration.
Thanks so much!

Love the deconstruction process it definitely explains how you created this wonderful image.
Thanks so much!
Great job!
Lindsay Adler....YOU need to be in shoots like that! YOU as the model! Hollywood glam. Queen Adler muse!
lol. not sure about that but I appreciate it
I always love the story behind the shot, but amazing the tribute to Hedy Lamarr
Thank you!
Lory Sun really outdid herself. She's very talented.
She's incredible. truly!
Bravo!! Awesome work by you and your team. Hope to see another video this month or Feb.
Beautiful I have to say the original is gorgeous as well ❤

Absolutely stunning and inspiring, as always!
@@lindsayadlerphoto as soon as I can get out there I will!!! XOXO
This is amazing! Incredible work!! You are an inspiration to many,
Lindsay, you are incredible !!
Thank you so much!
Awesome work. Glad to hear you're working on a wide angle lens for the optical snoot. I use a Canon 50mm f/1.4.
Outstanding
Awesome work by the headpiece designer and the photographer and team. Awesome tips.
Thank you!
Lindsay did you know she was the inspiration for a vector image that won a competition and became the cover art for the Corel Draw 8 circa 1998
I did not! That's very cool!
Great video ending with a beautiful image. Do you think you could do a short vid on difference between white and black mist filter? Assuming there is one. Thanks.
yes its on my list for February filming!
So so love this ❤ this was one of my favorite during the workshop ! ❤ love it can’t wait for June
Wonderful breakdown
Thank you!
Magnificent.
Thank you!
Would love to see some metering steps as well. It would help us re-create, for example whats your f-stop on main light, strip softbox etc
You can find that information on all of my lighting guides at learnwithlindsay.com -- hundreds of setups.
Wait I’m confused, what is the purpose of a lens attached to the optical spot?
Otherwise I love this so much ! Can’t wait to try 10:05
To focus the light. You should probably check out my Optical Spot Explainer video lindsayadler.photo/opticalspotexplainer
What is the name if the camera lense filter that you used to get that misty look?
White Pro Mist
Lindsay,what are the roll of diffusion?
You can use a few different ones. There is just a general diffusion roll or the frost filter roll.
@@lindsayadlerphoto Ty,but tell me some cos I don't know
@@kristijanignjatovski4415 www.adorama.com/le216rw.html
@@lindsayadlerphoto Ty dear
If you look at a photo longer than 15 seconds you know you created something special. Just one correction, it is a 6 light set up ;)
hahah oops
Nobody’s going to say “That’s Hedley!”?
The model is fantastic, right??
Nice! While nice, don't know how many clients would pay for a + $1000.00 portrait! Keep selling gear though! Good luck!!
My rate is $5k for a portrait and I do many. They do exist, its all about how you position yourself in the marketplace. Plus I live in NYC. :D
@@lindsayadlerphoto Yes!

Great work, Lindsay. Hedy didn’t become a star in the US until 1938. Ziegfeld died in 1932. Hedy never was in the Follies.
She was in a movie about the Ziegfeld Follies. Judy Garland is in the same movie. One of my favorites.
