As a pro photographer this is one of the first videos that I really REALLY took something away from. Don't get me wrong you guys make great stuff, this is just really good info.
You guys are making great videos everyday since this year. Small tips like these which were never heard anytime before. Tips that you have gathered through years of experience. Thank you for sharing them with us and making such short videos on them. I greatly appreciate the videos you are putting up nowadays. Keep doing it please. I am learning alot from them.
Great great video - love the explanation. As in videos like this, the is not mention of camera settings, specifically how many stops down in exposure to get the background so saturated
Ha yeah! I've been using it more and more on location just because I don't have to build anything and I can throw it in the back of my car and not worry about it.
Great tips today from you Patrick! I really enjoy the video's this channel puts out. There is so much useful information in them! Keep up the great work and cheers from Boston!
I usually use gels for the opposite reason, to accentuate the light temp difference. In the park shot I would have used a CTO and cooled the background a bit less than a full CTB’s worth. So you have a warmer than normal subject on a cooler than normal background. This stylised look creates a lot of depth and things close being warm and far away being cool is naturally pleasing to humans
Great video! It seems I've been using my rogue flash gels completely wrong (color correcting in ,the wrong direction). Can't wait to try these tips during my next shoot!
Patrick, who teaches a complete class for this to to understand the color gel needed to the light around you? i can travel any where cause i need to now this !!
Franz Steinberger yeah in a nutshell. Of course rules are meant to be broken and if you are really good you can gel things super weird and get interesting effects in post. I prefer to get a solid normal balance and then add strange effects later but there are many ways to skin a cat
Great explanation on your technique, Patrick. I like how you work on what you want your background to look like first by adjusting the WB and then gel your subjects accordingly.
I have magmod sphere, but when I turn the K to 3200 and have CT0 gel in my subjects face is still orange. Not unlike this video where the skin tone is perfect. Please help. 250 shutter/ fstop 10.
nolaPIC let me check, it's s manfroto boom arm which is nice because it goes really high up without the boom aspect plus it has that handle which is good for sand bags
By the way, how do you deal with group shots when someone's skin tone is much more yellowish and others look pale white? Is fixing in post processing the only way?
Getting some blue and orange corrective gels was probably one of the best investments to my portrait photography
What if you dont have that kind of flash, it works with an umbrella?
Tutorials that take my photography to the next level. Results that bedazzle the clients. FStoppers rocks.

This is really the best ofc color balance tuts out there. Thank you!
This is a great explanation of this! Sometimes people get so confused on this.....great, clear example!
Wow, Magmod really changed the game in the gel world
I like this, the whole gelling sections in the wedding videos make a bit more sense now
Wow. I didnt know gel could make such huge difference until today. Thanks
this is blowing my mind! thanks a lot for sharing this awesome video!!!
I love this tip, I'd be interested to see if you can re-create this for different skin tones.
Love that park, when the right conditions are there, you get some great pictures.
Great great video - love the explanation. As in videos like this, the is not mention of camera settings, specifically how many stops down in exposure to get the background so saturated
Thank you Patrick. Quick and to the point!
Damn that's brilliant. That Profoto beauty dish also does a hell of a bangup job too!
Ha yeah! I've been using it more and more on location just because I don't have to build anything and I can throw it in the back of my car and not worry about it.

What's up @octavious?

Well that is exactly what I did in the second half of the video. Both techniques are really helpful.
Fstoppers yeah that second look is really nice. I’m particularly into the shot at 4:41, going further with the style
One of the best tips I have seen recently!
This was really good Patrick. Really made up for that video on the fly with that portable editing device.
Great video! It seems I've been using my rogue flash gels completely wrong (color correcting in ,the wrong direction). Can't wait to try these tips during my next shoot!
Amazing video. If possible share more... To use it for more creative options.
Use the expodisc to correct the gels from your flashlight and the subject have a 100% correct whitebalance. Great video thanks!!!
My favorite orange and blue gels are tide pods
This is amazing. Thanks for the tip. Also great videos lately can't wait for more.
Thanks this was one of the best explanations I have every seen on this subject.
I'm so grateful for your advice thanks so much!
Patrick, who teaches a complete class for this to to understand the color gel needed to the light around you? i can travel any where cause i need to now this !!
I love this tip and can't wait to try it out myself. I love the stuff you guys are putting out there!
Very clear guide to using gels. Thanks for sharing ;-)
love it, keep this coming, creative , any camera now days can take perfect WB photos, creating sometime takes an idea.
It all makes sense now! Great explanation
This is the most useful video around.
Great video explained things really clearly, nice job as always.
super simple explanation
Great tutorial, thanks so much. Just the right amount of information and great examples.
Amazing video! I feel like I learn something everytime I watch one of your vids! keep up the great work guys :)
Best example yet! Great job!!
One of the most useful tutorials I've seen! Thanks!
Thank you, you guys always inspire me!
What flash you recommend?
Super educational 6 minutes! Thank you!!
Going on a sunset shoot in 2 wks. This is great info.
Can we adopt the same process during bright day light and get the same results? Thx.
Great tips, thanks for sharing!
Nice! I will definitely have to try this! Thanks!
Thanks! So, rule of thumb: Set the WB for the background, use the exact opposite colour as a gel on your flash?
Franz Steinberger yeah in a nutshell. Of course rules are meant to be broken and if you are really good you can gel things super weird and get interesting effects in post. I prefer to get a solid normal balance and then add strange effects later but there are many ways to skin a cat
Thank you for your sharing....
Means a lot for me
Very simple yet great tutorial!
Great explanation on your technique, Patrick. I like how you work on what you want your background to look like first by adjusting the WB and then gel your subjects accordingly.
awesome technique!!
At sunset, isnt it golden in color? Im lost🤔
Thank you for the video, I appreciate that.
What about just making a selection of the background in photoshop and making it a different wb?
LOVE .. LOVE this!!!
Doesn’t changing the white balance in camera only show changes in the jpeg and not the raw file?
I have magmod sphere, but when I turn the K to 3200 and have CT0 gel in my subjects face is still orange. Not unlike this video where the skin tone is perfect. Please help. 250 shutter/ fstop 10.
Perhaps you can try a 1/2CTO.
Great technique Thanks
If i get this right,
For warm ambient light, increase kelvin but use a blue gel
For cool ambient light, decrease kelvin but use an orange gel?
Yep!
Great Video!!! Please tell me this background music in the first half.
When do you this with your gel do you also acquire a grey card for white balance ? Just in case let me know really appreciated. Great tip thank you.
Just seeing this. Around what power was your flash?
Really nice video!! Thank you for sharing your knowledge 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Great tutorial, thx a lot!CAn you give away some of the settings? Iso, f/... etc?
Good stuff 👍🏾👍🏾
I learned something today
Is there a specific aperture for the gel can be seen in the picture
Hi Patrick! What lens did you use for this shoot? Thanks!
This is super useful. Thank you!
Love that park 😍😁
Very informative tutorial. Thanks
what is the colour temperature of the light? is it 5500k?
Any weblinks for colour gel sheets
nice! do you have a link fo that light stand? I have c-stands but I 'm looking for something lighter, yet sturdy enough for profoto B1 with modifier.
nolaPIC let me check, it's s manfroto boom arm which is nice because it goes really high up without the boom aspect plus it has that handle which is good for sand bags
Thanks! I think you should always link to the products used, it's useful and you guys can also make a few extra bucks off of 'em.

By the way, how do you deal with group shots when someone's skin tone is much more yellowish and others look pale white? Is fixing in post processing the only way?

Awesome ✨
