Thanks Warren, great advice!

Thanks for sharing!📸

it is great.... btw, how many lumens does your torch have... i have a 2100 torch i think this is to bright that might model might be blinded if i pass a light in her face....

fml amazing. inspiring even

When you bounce the flash do you set the flash to the 24mm setting to get the widest spread of flash?

Showing all your skill in one admirable

The voice of wisdom

Warren, Thanks so much for the advice which makes me think about what I should do and when it should be done. YOU are a great inspiration and a pleasure to learn form.

I am enjoying your videos, and your personality. I'm an old beginner, so this might be a dumb question. Some of the shots make the model look almost photoshopped in. How would you go about fixing that? Or do I need an optometrist to fix my eyes? :o) Thanks

HI Warren, thanks for the wonderful video, very creative and so generous of you to share, thoroughly enjoyed it. I've been in photography for 30 over years and still enjoy creating. I remember light painting during early days was so expensive. The light painting machine called 'Hose master' cost about 11k USD if i remember correctly and we use to use a 4X5 film camera brand horsemen to shoot products with that. Well done. You got a liked 👍

Warren I’ve been watching you for about a years and a half so you were on Shill share. I’m new to photography and you have helped me grow in ways that i could have never done alone. Thank you for all you do

Tell you what. Sometimes I click on the video once I know it's about photography without even checking/looking who it is from. Recently I noticed that there are several (a handful and a half to be precise) photographers/content creators (you are among them naturally) who get my like in the first three seconds of the video once I hear the voice of or see who it speaking. You are a great photographer and a very good educator.

Thank you for sharing great advices, Warren 🙏😍

Saturday mornings with Warren is a blessing 🙌🏿

I have bookmarked this video so that i can revisit it many times to fully grasp these valuable tips.

This is fantastic.

❤🧡

Excellent teaching aid.

Excellent! Thank you very much!

Great 😊 inspiring. Looking forward to exploring your channel

I’ve watched 3 of your videos and learned more from you than anyone else?. Thank you!

Are you using the second cortins sinc or the first one?

… since I got my a9 III last year on camera flash is such a powerfull tool, amazing.

Great!!

Love this guy .. thank you for your teaching it inspires us to stay creative

Fantastic! thanks! New sub!

I was already selling my Godox V1 flash light as I no longer need it, but when I saw your fantastic flash shots at night, I decided not to sell it and instead started studying these.

holy shit its amazing!

AT 12:20 THIS IS EXACTLY HOW I GO ABOUT GETTING MY "EXPOSURE" AS WELL!!! ALLOT OF PEOPLE OVER COMPLICATE THIS CONCEPT! VERY INFORMATIVE VIDEO!!!🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

Shame about the annoying noise

Only just seen this, the algorithm showed it to me a year late, but you're absolutely right. The 'triangle' is indeed useless. It leads people to not understand what exposure is, which you know, unlike most You Tube 'teachers'. You're also right about ISO, though I'd use the word 'lightness', rather than 'brightness' since 'brightness' tends to mean how much light is given out, while the thing that ISO controls is different, how light or dark the image looks. Think of a print, and it's clear that isn't an amount of light, but an amount of ink controlling how light or dark you see it. It's this misidentification that leads people to think that 'exposure' means how light or dark the image looks, and thus that ISO is a part of exposure.

Regardless of topic, one of the best tutorials out there for photogs...bravo!!!

very nice indeed, thanks for sharing,

I’m curious about how you set your white balance for a shot like this? Your work is excellent by the way!

Rakastan työtäsi ja sitä, miten yksinkertaisilla välineillä voi tehdä kaunista taidetta, Kiitos että jaat tämän kanssamme, nyt vanhakin saa uusia virikkeitä.

Excellent video as usual.

What gives on camera flash a bad reputation are the shadow and highlight clues for 3D shape it creates versus what we normally see with our eyes with our binocular vision. Most of the day the sun is over head / | \ casting downward shadows and creating specular reflections of the sun /°\ on the upper half of the objects. Hotshoe flash is above the lens in landscape mode and has a natural downward angle \ but when camera is turned to portrait mode the light is at lens axis level and -> and to the left casting shadows level and right which will not look natural. That’s not to say all lighting must create natural outdoor sun+skylight shadow / highlight patterns only that it is the perceptual baseline for what seems normal. For humans a light 45° to the side of the nose - wherever it points - and about 45° above the eye line will cause the shadow of the nose to fall over half of it on the far side from the light creating the best illusion of the actual 3D shape. Since shape noses and eye sockets vary what looks best is a judgement call which is easier of the source is a window facing north in the northern hemisphere. For other than faces backlighting from 45° to the side and 45° above creates nice natural looking 3D rendering but a second flash over the lens for fill is usually needed for ‘normal’ seen by eye contrast / shadow detail. I learned lighting in the early 70s assisting renowned photographer Monte Zucker who at the time did all of his posed portraits with window light and reflector like the Old Master painters which was his marketing ‘hook’. Then to match the natural look of the window portraits with flash we used an off camera flash 45/45 from the nose with a second fill flash on a bracket putting the center of the flash head about 15” above the lens primarily for more natural placement of the catchlights the fill created. We’d retouch the second fill catchlight out of the center of the pupil on the negative with a retouching pencil before any print were made. Monte never showed out of camera proofs only final dodged and burned prints. Since 2000 when I go my first digital camera I’ve used the same Stroboframe camera flip bracket and in 2004 started making DIY diffusers: photo.nova.org/DIY01 with 9x12 sheets of craft foam and always used dual flash in a Key over centered above camera fill configuration.

I think starting a video stating that the exposure triangle is useless is pretty bold, and not strictly true depending on how you believe the exposure triangle is used to help people understand exposure. I also don't think it helped to include what type of artistic effects photographers prefer in their photos when discussing exposure core concepts. 
ISO setting and post processing might be a valid explanation as to why the exposure triangle is maybe not so important in digital photography, but digital is only a small part of my photography and I've honestly never given it much thought.
 When I was a kid we used film cameras. (I still do).
 All we had to consider when photographing outside was what the prevailing light conditions were (EV and sunny 16 rules and light meters and all that fun stuff), what ASA film we wanted to use or should use, and then what aperture and shutter speed combination we wanted to use with that film to get the correct exposure.
 For me, the film ASA was an important part of my exposure consideration.
 I use the following analogy to understand in my own mind how the exposure triangle works: I have a bucket under a tap hanging from a spring balance. Let's say that the correct 'exposure' is always obtained by putting an amount of water in the bucket that will lower the bucket by 4 inches against the spring pressure (film ASA). The amount of water I need to put in the bucket to move it down 4 inches is the product of how long I turn the tap on for (shutter speed), and how much I open the tap valve (aperture).
 Let's say this particular spring represents a film ASA of 200, and the weight of water I need for a 'perfect exposure' of 4 inches is 1kg.
 If I then empty the bucket and change the spring in the spring balance (film ASA) for one half as strong as the first spring, then in effect I've doubled the sensitivity of the spring balance. The new spring represents a film ASA of 400. If I now put 1kg of water in the bucket it will lower 8 inches. I've 'over exposed'.
 To get the correct exposure with the '400 ASA' spring I need to use a combination of tap aperture and tap time open to put just 500g of water into the bucket. This 500g will give me the correct 'exposure' of 4 inches with the more sensitive spring balance spring.

Good video! What brand of flash trigger and slave do you use? When photographing weddings years ago I used frontal flash on couples and groups, It helped with their wrinkles and put catch lights in their eyes.

Thanks and Thanks and again...🌹🌹🌹

Tnx for the video !!

Excellent information

Awesome! I stopped taking photos some years ago and your videos are very inspirational…want to go back and start taking photos again. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. I greatly appreciated you.

JINGS!,CRIVVENS!,HELP MA BOAB!....i just subscribed and love this channel.....i do this and it works....never be without a torch

HELP! but first I want to thank you and congratulate for these beautiful videos showing us how to paint with light! You work is SUPERB! I have a Nikon ZF and was looking for a remote shutter trigger. Looking online I've heard bad comments about the Nikon ML-L7 is not reliable at times as it looses communication between itself and the camera? Sad that the ZF can't be used with Infra Red remotes. I definitely need a remote shutter trigger to use for painting with light as without one I will encounter problems with over exposure. I'd appreciate your help. Thank You from Western Australia!

Great Input, you're very good Instructor. I like your Videos. Great Thx to your Model Shannah. Greetings from Germany

this was fascinating Iwas mesmerised with the whole video Ive never seen this done before. Thanks for showing this I can't wait to have a go myself. cheers John

Thank you for this very well done presentation. Could you recommend an ideal power (in lumens) for the type of shooting in this video ?

love the lowkey lighting!

Gad I found this. Will definitely start experimenting with it
