Thanks

@@MartinV. appreciate that

the clamshell provides a more direct light for the model, but even with that setup, sometimes there are some shadows that aren't flattering, or even the background is too dark. The scrim being there allows me to elevate the light in the overall space.

Yea I’m definitely being sarcastic. It’s just a really expensive piece of equipment but I really love it and don’t regret it at all. If you have the money to get it, I think it’s an easy decision to make but the price is definitely a barrier for entry. I appreciate the kind words btw, definitely hope to grow the channel over the coming months

@ so cool of you to have responded so swiftly! Really appreciate it. Totally agree it’s quite expensive, unfortunately, I think photo equipment are unnecessarily expensive but it’s our reality anyway. Btw it will be nice to hear your perspective on the future of professional photography, touching on the impact of AI.

lol

Thanks for that. Trying to make the content I needed when I was coming up in it

It's a Canon SELPHY CP 1500 Here's the link amzn.to/40ydCYL

@@quanishamoody7770 yep! The characteristic would be similar with the punchy contrast, and the harsh drop shadows…but the edge of that drop shadow may not be as defined and the focus of the light hitting the “T-zone” of her face may be slightly softer depending on how deep that 7in reflector is. Hope that helps 👍

Definitely helpful - would a magnum reflector be a step up from the reflector?

@@СтепанСтепанов-б6ш had it for 5 years and it’s been great, thanks for asking

What about premises? Does it have constant temperature and humidity?

@@СтепанСтепанов-б6шif the construction is unstable in your opinion, why do you care what the other variables are?

@@allencooley because i had to build cyc wall this summer but i ended up calling cyc builders. Sheets of plywood were just covered in waves, and i had to undo most of my job

@ I used plywood because I wanted some flex… the cracks are easier to deal with if they show up. When I’ve built with drywall, people would accidentally step on the curve and their foot would just go through it and that repair was much more difficult.

Appreciate you

@@Iambrentmccoy appreciate you.

Ayeee appreciate that!

Thank you

Thank you for subscribing!

Thank you and welcome!!!

@@thescholarwithacamera always appreciate you sir

I just recorded the screen on my iPad while I wrote on the screen … then brought the video into davinci for the actual video edit.

a detective series? tell me more.

This presentation was clean sweet and straight to the point. You’re a detective & problem solver. “How did they get the shot?” A quick synopsis and credit to the original, how’d they achieve the look, some things that could be different? Preference taste? Etc. Drop a poll… did you crack the case? I’ll fly out there and be Watson 😆

R5 I believe. I go back and forth between them. My R5c is setup mainly for video, but i keep it ready just in case something’s acting weird with my R5

Portrait lighting for the most part can definitely be constant...i think when you start dealing with a lot of motion in the images, things can get a little tricky.

Thank you sir

Thanks, the spreads coming from the modifier and the foam core fill. I also will bring the light closer in to the model and by bringing that light in, it softens the light even more and makes the source look and feel larger.

@ I’m working in such a tight space, I got hotspots on myself (as im the model haha) so I have to edit them out ugh 😑 but yes 👍🏿 thanks so much for sharing again!

@ thank you!!

Just using the screen record feature on the ipad, and then airdropping it to my computer for the video edit.

@@allencooley Didn't even know iPad had that..

@ iPhones too

@@CreatedbyZyaireyup Mac’s have it also

What all do you want to run on your tech setup? For example, some people run iMacs, Mac Pro towers, while others run laptops. Also how many monitors are you thinking? I personally like to be around 1000 wh or more.

@ I’m gonna run a MacBook Pro and probably a Benq monitor to start. Since I posted I actually ordered a Jackery 2000 Explorer V.2. There’s a Black Friday sale going rn, until the 20th I think - was $600 off.
