  • In this episode, Mark Wallace shares one of his favorite lighting exercises, "Find The Light," which you can easily practice at home or in your studio to improve your lighting skills. Watch as Mark uses a tethered camera setup with an external "confidence monitor" for instant feedback, allowing the model to see the images as they are captured. Mark provides a comprehensive walkthrough of the exercise and reveals his results live. Don't miss out on the unexpected final image-this is a video every aspiring photographer should see!

    Great that you are here again! I watched al lot of your videos already years ago and suddenly there were no more videos coming from you. Now I saw that you started to bring new videos. Thanks for all your efforts. Greetings from Switzerland

      Glad you like them! Did you catch all the classes I created for CreativeLive and Fstoppers? Or my new travel channel? I stopped posting to AdoramaTV but I never stopped creating content. :) But it's good to be back on my old channel.

      @@MarkWallaceVideos I'm doing photograpy as my hobby and LR classic (in combination with Photoshops) covers all my needs. Thefore I'm not interested in topics like DxO or Nik filters as I just do not use these products. But I'm consuming a lot of free available content in UA-cam for particular topics.

    Color images look prettier because Tasiana has a beautiful skin tone, which adds to the contrast of light and shadows 👍

    Incredible skills, Mark! Speaking of light, why don't you consider offering an online consulting service for UA-camrs? We've watched a lot of travel docs in our time, but recently came across one channel which looked like it was filmed with a sub-par camera. Being outside, all the trees were dark as the camera struggled to adjust to the ambient light, it also seemed like the frame rates were off as one started feeling a little ill after a while. These people could benefit greatly from your advice, and they would be willing to pay for it, I would.
