A clear video but a lot of time is wasted on waffle and repeating yourself. I always want my vids to be straight to the point and easy to understand. But thanks for sharing. Much appreciated.
As for some of the other comments here…why does photography always breed the rude photo snobs!? Pity.

I also don’t agree …
I also don’t agree with “shopping” something that should be taken care of in the studio.. IE- cropping,.. lighting..etc. The cropping and your demeanor in the camera room was less than “OK”….in other words..Nothing spectacular
…But hey, it’s just MHO

The images are also …
The images are also not shopped in any way for this tutorial which can lead to sub par final images but this video is more about very basic lighting not amazing final images.

These are very …
These are very basic and “safe” shots to teach the basics of studio lighting. I will be getting a little more fancy pants in future videos.

Just goes to show …
Just goes to show that the equipment doesn’t make the photographer. I couldn’t make it through the tutorial because the shots that were inserted were ‘ less than OK’… I am sure that there are couch photographers that find this informative… and that’s OK too.

Yes. I am the same but not knowing to much about photography (having just 3 months of photography course) … i might consider that what he says its correct. So it’s very helpful for me to know that if i go outside the box it’s not something bad. Thank you.

I personally don’t …
I personally don’t believe in “right and wrong” in art, only preference. If you do everything by the book then you will be inhibiting your creativity.
If he believes it is wrong then it is……. for him!!

I just asked this …
I just asked this question today at my photography course. Because there was a perfect example of a picture made from above to a model. So teacher told us that is wrong , so i told him : ” but why there are so many photographers that are doing these kind of pictures” ….. The answer came something like this : ” Because even if that is wrong there are certain times when you can use this kind of picture. But as a photographer you must be aware that , that is wrong ” .
What do you think ?

Just a matter of preference really. I like the angle from above. Something like 35º to 45º above i suppose. I don’t always do it like that but I did here =o)

One question please. Why don’t you get lower to your subject mid level? Its just me or pictures look like they are made from the above?
