Where are you pointing the head of the flash? I’m wondering if it’s directly pointing at the model especially when you’re trying to wrap the light around. Thank your for educating us.
Very nice results! How strong of a flash do you need to accomplish shots in that harsh lighting? Can you accomplish that with a mid-level speedlight? Or would I need a $2k strobe?
May I ask, seeing that you are getting a nice DOF in mid day, are you using a ND or CPL on these shots? curious what you are stopping down to so its not completely blown out while getting nice bokeh?
Is a really good video and the photos got good result. One question, how do you compare the stripbox and the beauty dish (or 2x3" softbox) for portrait photo? Any particular area we have to pay attention when choosing these modifier?
Beauty dish is good for headshots because it better protect the shadow under the chin, but not so good for 3/4 or full body especially when the color temperature of your ambient is very different from your strobe.
No I didn't use gel on any of these photos. You do need to match the color with the sun and sometimes gel is the only choice, but I found as long as I'm not shooting too close to the golden hours I'm fine without it.

Enhorabuena!!! Es uno de los canales de TH-cam más interesantes. Tutoríales de mucho nivel profesional.
My goodness! How did not find your channel sooner!? I would have been the best photographer in my country by now.😂
Super helpful, especially with the photos and explanations of different scenarios. Thank you!
Your channel is a hidden gem.
Thanks Christopher
Love how natural you keep your added lights!
Great stuff and amazing work
Thanks!
Thanks for the lovely video.
No grid with the strip box?
Correct
Your videos are super helpful!!! Keep up the great work!! Your channel rocks!! I appreciate you Sir.
What's a good size strip box for both as as key light and rim? Thanks KC
1x3 is what I use the most
Nice job, looking at the 1' x 4' strip by Westcott, you sold me...Like your photography also...J
James A 1x4 will be even better.
Good idea! I never thought of that. I'm subscribing to your channel.
I love my 1x3 strip box. I have a Rapidbox from Westcott.

Nice natural looking light
Glad I found your video. Thanks for sharing!
For my taste it adds to much flat light however as a back light or side light to create separation it’s the best
I'm definitely going to try this!
Wow amazing video. Thanks for sharing. I need to get one of these strip boxes
Just buy it! :)
Thanks Kyle. Great idea.
Great video! Do you think a 14x48 stripbox would be too large to achieve this kind of focused soft light? Would a 9x35 be a bit too small? Thanks!
I'm going to try my strip box out today
Very nice results! How strong of a flash do you need to accomplish shots in that harsh lighting? Can you accomplish that with a mid-level speedlight? Or would I need a $2k strobe?
To deal with the harsh sun, one speed light won't be enough. You'll need a strobe but doesn't have to be 2k.
what did you use in the example?
Profoto B2

Steve Sargente all the sample photos on this video are done using HSS. I did start using ND filter later on. I used 3stop b+w multi coating ND.
Is a really good video and the photos got good result.

hi, great video, are you using HSS for shooting?what are aperture do you use for these photos, thanx for sharing your knowledge :)
For these I believe I used HSS for all of them. I mostly shoot wide open F1.4
Very beautiful . Did you use ND filter on any of these shots?
Thanks for sharing! You are so right about horizontal! Question, is that just a normal light stand @ 5:17? Tilted over?
Yes, just a normal light stand. Boom stand will be even better but they are heavier.
Do you have a preference 1'x4' versus 1'x3' ?
1x3’.
@@KyleCongphoto Thank you. Great video.
You are awesome. Thankyou very much for that . :)
Thank you Craig, I'll upload more videos soon. Stay tuned!
Kyle, I miss your posts on Facebook.
Is everything okay with you?
Thanks! I'm good, just very busy this summer. Haven't upload any video for a while, but I did keep posting in facebook.
Which strobe is recommended for this stripbox?
Brand doesn’t matter. I recommend 200-250ws light.
Bowens mount?
What mount doesn’t matter either. Pick whatever is your favorite. How you use the light is what make the real difference.
Did you do anything like gels? how did you make the strobe match the sun? I always have this weird white flash look in my images :(
No I didn't use gel on any of these photos. You do need to match the color with the sun and sometimes gel is the only choice, but I found as long as I'm not shooting too close to the golden hours I'm fine without it.
What lens do you use for these shots?
35,50 and 85 prime
I think this is interesting because you never see strip box out in open
