- Join Sony Artisan of Imagery and Rotolight Master of Light Jason Lanier for a presentation that he conducted for a group of photographers at Samy's Camera in Pasadena, California where he spoke to the audience about when to use what lighting techniques for proper lighting effects. PLEASE THUMBS UP, SHARE, LEAVE A COMMENT AND SUBSCRIBE!!
THIS IS PART 3 OF THE PRESENTATION FROM SAMY'S in September 2017.
Lots of Jason's videos focus on the shooting side of photography. But when he gives presentations, even ones that are designed for lighting, he will always delve into the business aspect of photography so photographers can figure out how to take the gear and lessons they learn and apply them to good use so they can pursue their dreams.
We thank you for watching and invite you to stick around and watch the other parts of this presentation that will be coming soon. We also invite you to watch some of Jason's other videos while you're here. Don't forget to subscribe and click on notifications so you're updated every time a new video is released!
Thanks,
Jason Lanier Photography
Watch , listen & learn.. more fantastic advice & wisdom .... thanks once again Jason
Don't forget most important - shoot :P
The Best Advise! Cutting out the bad and putting up the good light. Thanks a lot Sir Jason!
Jason is the only talking head I can actually listen to.
Watching some clips yesterday already shook me off the basic flaw in my thinking.
It really does not matter what people say about what you are supposed to do.
The picture matters. If you have too much contrast, P+P just will not cut it, no matter how good the Sony sensor is. You need more light into the shadows. How you do it, is up to you.
Also, my idea of full open shooting dates from the years where the autofocus was nowhere yet.
With the modern autofocus, you can actually place the focus where it belongs.
Something that the human eyesight cannot achieve using manual focus and the viewfinder.
There are exceptions, of course. Only that I am not one of them. Eyefocus...wow!
JASON the shooting in LONDON ist just WOOOOOOOOOOW.....so natural...never seen before ...u are the BEST
Being a hobbyist I've only recently started using a godox AD600 which I"m loving, ..... but LED tech is coming and I'll be very interested to see how far it comes in a few years. If the power comes up and the prices come down I will look at some LED's
LED lights are marked up, because all photography gear is automatically marked up. LED technology is already dirt cheap. No reason at all for it to be so expensive.
The AD600 is a fantastic light and has a great modeling light. Just turn it on when you need it.
No. You can get cheap LEDs, good luck with them tho. Color accuracy, consistency, brightness, etc.The problem with LEDs is when you need high power output.
Great video, I personally always struggle with decisions when it comes to buying equipment and this video just helped me a lot not only in terms of flash but also other equipment
Rotolight looks amazing, but honestly I don't have a grand laying around especially when I have a speedlight and reflecting umbrella for like 150 bucks. But I'm not professional, and I can Definantly see how that's a good investment for a pro! Great video!:)
A lot of great info Jason, thanks brother
Love all the info..
Thank you
This was a better trilogy than Lord of the Rings.
Great series of videos so far. Good stuff!
I just thought I'd add, babies hate led aswell. They don't know not to stare at the light and they can get dazzled. It's also not good for them. When they're asleep that's a different story.
Great info, thanks.
Like that outfit... looking good jase
Nice Waiting for number 4!!! How many is there?
Very nice broo
Jason, did you put out the shootout video with you and Irene yet? I saw the interview video, but may have missed the actual video of you and her shooting. Is it out yet?
Irene could only shoot one hour out of each day so they couldn't make it work with their schedules.
JR what a shame, they are both so talented, it would have been nice to have seen it.
I"m sure that was a joke ha ha
they done it , irene has hers ready and waiting on jason to stop flogging off rotolight lol , good on him hes good but if you do the shootout spend the time and put the video up imo
Fantastic :) .You mentioned a wedding in germany next year... you saiding"Castle" oder"Kassel"?
Heard that too. If it was Kassel can you manage to make a workshop there?
He said "a castle"
Yes Jason, make a workshop in germany:D
Can I capture the snow or rain falling behind my subject using a couple of neo’s
yup, put one of them behind your subject and you are good to go
I am a Canon shooter and really enjoy your videos. I have a 580 EX II flash but for obvious reasons, rarely use it. If I was to buy just one light source, would you recommend the Neo 2 or Explor 600 plus octobox? I would be using it mainly for shooting families, kids and grandkids. Thanks
I used a Olight SR52 Ultra Throw Intimidator SR 52 UT with a diffuser could Rotolight make a new product from CREE LEDs that comes with white balance adjustments and filters
I totally disagree about on camera flash... I've taken some GREAT pics with a Flashpoint TT600 with a 5x6 or 9x7 softbox... Of course I need to be close but because it's a speedlite... I got ONE with a bit of redeye because of distance and angle... Flash brackets solve the verical issue very well...
And no, I'm not a 20 year vet and have probably only taken a few thousand useful pics... I do strive to get the quality you do... I think I've learned enough to get some well-lit shots... Well, I've gotten some well lit shots in many different venues...
By next year, I will be able to just hold the camera with one hand certain I'll get the shot...
Could you compare the AD600 paired with a big cheap softbox and a LED that flashes. I'm asking that on behalf of those with very little money. Assume we do not mind the effort of setting up and carrying gear.
i wonder if you can modify the neo2 to use lipo batteries
Jason, mA= milliamps, not miniamps. Not trying to put you down in ANY way, just want to let you know. I love your videos and work!!
Is the Rotolight better than the icelight
what about whats possible with Cree Led diode torches being used diffused maybe Rotolight come out with new higher intensity light with dimming settings it worked well when i tested it at night any up for a comment on this
You mention shooting in a club environment and say the first dance at a wedding, would you have the neo 2 mounted on or off camera. I shoot weddings and am thinking of getting the neo 2. Thanks,
This is the type of question I have as well. Noone answering?
Jason, I have been using cheap LED's and am considering buying one Rotolight LED. Is the AEOS going to be the best all around light source? Thank you.
The 55mm f/1.8ZA and 35mm f/2.8ZA don't suck.... just because they were the earliest Sony FE lenses doesn't take away their optical quality.
The first two lenses were the 35mm ZA and the Kit Lens. The 55mm came later and yes, its a beast.
I use my @6300's on pop up flash a lot. I pull it up and bounce it from the ceiling.. no need for an outside flash! Can't do that with your kanon!
14:30 "what do you shoot with? Canon? " that was kind of rude Jason :-P :-P
#jasonlainer will my Sony Godox transmitter works with the Neo 2 build in receiver? Or it is proprietary? Awesome video again, thanks and support!
I asked the same. You need to get a Godox receiver and cable it to the port of the Neo 2
nickynoodles81 having a hard time finding a godox Sony receiver in Canada.
Apparently any Godox receiver will do, Nikon / Canon etc. Jason was doing the demo with Nikon Godox receiver and a Sony Godox transmitter
nickynoodles81 I may have to give it a try. Still waiting for my local camera store to get the Neo2 in stock. Hopefully soon
:)
more like a shopping channel now, getting boring. im interested in the photography not brainwashing and constant sales pitch its desperation
You butt hurt bro??
buy few years ago a 700ws flash.......in case of...never use once! loll :)
Small led are ugly as flash or any other small light.
Face like avatar 😂
It's annoying how hard you're trying to justify an expensive (crappy) product. Yes. Now is making it all about the "catchlight". It's simple, you're pushing a WEAK and expensive light that you have to ram into the subject's face. No matter how you put it. What's next Jason? A set of miracle chinese knive set? Come forward. My guess is that Rotolight® is not paying you to push their product, they gave you company shares... that would explain all that desperate vouching of a crappy product. And not a fair/HONEST review.
