Another fantastic example of real time problem solving and creative decision making with enough golden nuggets and technical insight to make everyone all warm and fuzzy. Thank you.
Unarguably you are the most talented artist I know, you have succeeded to elevate Lighting to its prime place of importance in photography as a whole. Thanks you so much for always inspiring us with your rich knowledge and incredible experience🙏🏻🙏🏻
Wow, thank you and nicely said about elevating light to its prime place - you're exactly right, that's where it belongs but unfortunately not enough people interested in photography realise that and that's what our platform focuses on teaching.
I wish we could drop multiple likes: one for each light added. Not because multiple lights are cool (well they ARE) but because each added light improved an already attractive portrait. Thanks for what you do for us...
That's the Karl that got me to spend my hard earned cash on more lights and modifiers instead of the latest and greatest lenses. Great stuff. This is more valuable than just a good photo/result or justifying decision for good results after the fact. This is creative exploration and problem solving. Thanks Karl
Great walk through. Could you not have used a myler reglector on the shadow side, kicking light back from your key light? I like the octo on the bkgrd, since it created a nice gradient effect for just enough depth seperation. Nice masculine look.
Bless your heart, thanks for sharing, as always, great work, enjoyed every second :) learnt a lot, i'm sorry can't be there to give you a hand moving things around and handing you what you need ;)
Great video and techniques. I'm surprised you don't have some sort of trigger to adjust light intensity/exposure remotely from one spot, instead of having to go around to each separately for adjustments.
Yes it's a good point, the new upgrade on the bron packs that I use mean you can control the power of each channel from the desktop software but until I get that it keeps me active!
@@VisualEducationStudio I can see that being a good form of exercise. It actually might help in forcing one to see the subject from different angles, too, maybe instigating a change in the setup or pose.
This particular lighting setup would have worked well for that, the only thing to avoid for bald male portrait's is adding a top hair light or you're going to get shine of the head instead of a nice catchlight on the hair. So if you're doing a series of business portraits for example and have a hair light for those with hair then just switch that one off when you need to. We have other videos on the subject in fact there is one where I have my portrait taken by another photographer using a light that just illuminated the face, the portrait result is on this page: karltaylor.com/karl-taylor and you can find the video on our platform in the portrait section.

These type of hands-on videos are so much fun to watch and certainly very educative. TH-cam needs more of this. You are a big inspiration ❤
Glad you like them!

Good video! Have you ever used a STARFISH ?
Hi thanks, no we don't know what that is?

"As you've noticed I did not use the light meter, I don't really care, I can see it's overexposed" - Karl Taylor's brilliant comment.
🙂 You have to just say it as you see it!
