- Join Sony Artisan of Imagery and Rotolight Master of Light Jason Lanier for a portrait shoot at night using the brand new Rotolight Aeos. PLEASE THUMBS UP, SHARE, LEAVE A COMMENT AND SUBSCRIBE!
Jason has been a big believer and user of Rotolight products for years. As their Master of Light Jason gets to use prototypes to test shoot to put the lights through a test to see if the products are up to snuff for professional use.
Rotolight recently sent Jason their prototype for the Aeos and the results are what you see in this shoot that Jason conducted in Huntington Beach, California.
Jason used the Sony A7Rii on this shoot using 5 different portrait lenses to give the viewer a variety of looks. He also demonstrated the laws of compression, gave lighting tips and more in this fun video that we hope not only showcases the light but also teaches you about lighting and photography as well.

We thank you for watching and invite you to stick around and watch a few more videos while you're here.
Thanks!

I just love Cassandra! She is so versatile, fun and relaxed! AND she is absolutely gorgeous!
This is my favorite type of Jason Video. Where Jason explains what he is doing and why. It's what keeps me coming back to his channel
jason, watching you flip that expensive glass was more exciting than the last 8 fast n furious movies
ROFL - right?!?
veebeeTV lol love it!!
this comment wins the internet for today
lol agreed
veebeeTV 😊
Your assistant rocks, she knows what she's doing
Flippin' that 70-200mm LIKE A BOSS 😂
I like the way you managed to cram in so much educational info into a video demonstrating the use of a new Rotolight.....freakin' awesome.
Awesome results but I usually can't afford 3 assistants.
Right?
A lot of things you might need an assistant for have easy workarounds or just take longer.
And if you look close , one of his assistants is BATMAN !!!
More like 6 if you count the videographer.
He addressed that at the end of the video for like 3 minutes!
jason is so pure hearted person who really loves to share his knowledge of photography...👏👏👏
Cassandra is very good person! Thanks for lesson!
The way Jason just flips those lenses about while changing 😂👏🏻👏🏻
OMG hes throwing a lense around that is more valuable than my life :0
Beautiful model
I am doing a shoot like this in two days time,I have put a lot of time and effort into it and found the perfect model (did a shoot with her before) and have 2 people to help with lights etc and a second photographer who knows more than me to take advice from.
I bought my Sony Camera after watching your video's and now you still inspire me to push my limits and take great images..Thanks Jason,you are a top geezer..
Now I can shoot portraits at night with confidence! Thanks. FYI Cassandra maybe the hottest model you've had to date.
your work is simply mind-blowing one of these days I will go to your Workshop when you come back to New York
Love your vids, man. Learn so many little things that mean a lot for one's photography.
I really liked this work, with a few simple lights of continuous light and the backlight, the result is spectacular. Congratulations Jason!
Thanks for showcasing the new light and particularly the 100mm STF. Expose for ambient, set light for subject. Good tip!
Love using LED's at night! Great video Jason.
Shooting one handed, now that takes talent. Great job Jason.
Hey man!!! You have a great assistant. She is very diligent. That's amazing!!!!
Jason,
simply put you are master.
Beautiful shots. Jason and team!
Jason, I've heard a lot about longer lenses compressing the background, but this comparison you showed really brought it home. Your demonstration of ambient exposure and then adjusting the light to match was also really helpful. Thanks for another great video.
Hey Jason, if you tell those engineers at Sony to make the Sony A7Siii with an articulating touch screen, 10 bit 4:2:2 Internal recording,4K 60fps, I'll personally wash your car every morning, and give you a massage on sundays.
Internal 10-Bit 4:2:2? Not happening on a stills camera but externally 10-Bit is a realistic thing.
nateo200 Dude, the Gh5 has it.
Oh, I know....but Panasonic has been about that 10-Bit for a while and while they do have high-end cinema cameras they seem to have a different approach to them than Sony. They also seem to be pushing their AVC-Intra and AVC-Ultra more than Sony seems to be pushing the XAVC variants that support 10 and 12-Bit. That said....I'd love to be wrong!!! The A7SIII definitely needs some epic improvements. Idk if I posted it here but I want it to be able to shoot 4K in Full Frame and S35 and 1080p at S35 and M4/3rd's so a 16MP Sensor with the same sensitivity seems reasonable to get there. Remember, the A7SII doesn't have Sony's new special copper wiring that the A6300, A6500, and A9 have to absorb more light and the first two are S35 sensors only. 4K XAVC-S 160Mbps 8-Bit 4:2:0 @ up to 60fps and 4K XAVC 200~Mbps 10-Bit 4:2:0 internal @ up to 30fps and 10-Bit 4:2:2 external would be great. Overheating may become an issue as we saw with the first A6300's, and I've only seen it once on mine. GH5 has the advantage of a smaller sensor for readout speeds produce less heat while the Sony A7's are thinner, and full frame.
Panasonic! LOL!
An excellent video on lighting. I like watching your style and technique.
Hi Jason. This was one of your most educational and helpful videos - thank you.
Fantastic shoots
Stunning work!
You deserve 2 million subscribers
Love the new light!!
Amazing what that bad boy of a light can do! boom!
Daanng Jason! Got the ladies wiping off your shoes 😄 #Boss! 💪
Great video Jason. Very instructional. Thanks.
Totally blaze, one hand in pocket, 'bring me this, bring me that'. What a prima donna. Aaaaannnd you got some dust 7:12 on that lens you were tossing around earlier.
Thanks for sharing Jason.
Well, that is how you sell a light...professional results, ease of use and versatility. And it even looks good.
AMAZING PHOTOGRAPHY MAN
love your stuff Jason . Cant't wait to see more
Flipped that 100mm and I almost lost it
David Williams What about flipping the 70-200? Ouch.
I knew he was crazy and there was no help when I saw that Allen lol
Jason you are just awesome man.
Hats off
Rohit Gupta That hat never comes off!!! LOL
the one handed shots kill me lol
Jason, thank you for sharing your knowledge. I enjoy every one of your video-tutorials.
Well done! I'm going to the Rotolight website now.
I see what you do and this is my first time seeing your workshops, and this is AWESOME.
I've learnt a load more about lighting and lens compression in this video. Thanks Jason!
Photographers go years before learn this 05:56 camera and light settings. Thanks Jason
Nice shoot n nice Rotolight
Tremendous shots with bokehlicious background lights!
i love this video. one of my favorites!!!
Thank you and thanx to the people with you
Thank you Jason for this lesson - crammed with goodies! I now know I have been seeing compression, not having been introduced to the concepts previously.
so beautifully...!!!! amaizing
great video again, thanks for sharing.
I feel nauseous... Every time you flip one of those expensive lenses. lol.
It's just a matter of time when one of those flips lands on the floor.
Hi Jason. I like your new video, and love the new leather jacket. Thank you for this video and also the video for the Sony a nine camera you did. It was really cool to meet you at Wppi in February. Keep up the good work brother. 👍🏾🎬
now that's the Jason I member...great video...once again
brilliant mate, your photos leave me breathless
you must be insane juggling with your 70-200 like that!!! 😱
you got some balls man!
Yeah, and LOTS of money!
If he needs to he could walk in to a store and buy a new one - no problem.
Most of us only dream of that capability.
+Durst well, we will have to be at least as good as him for that, don't you think 😊
Yep. It's a mix of skills I may never have. I find that the scientific part of picture taking is not so difficult (so many good tut's on youtube), but being an introvert - dealing with Bridezillas and people in general for portraiture is not my forte', so I stick to landscapes and architecture.
this guy is sick wtf dope shots
Jason Everytime you flip your lenses it scares me so much please don't do it haha Great Shoot
Great video JL
Awesome!
Insane photographer.. Love it
Thank you!
I want one of those new Aeos led's .... & check out that image 11:32 WOW
i love your work
Seeing you flip that lens almost made me faint! I hyperventile 😨😨😨 hhahahahahaha
your work is effortless to you! great videos Jason!
Badassery in perfection. Damn cool!
wow wow 😂😂 u handle ur cam... u move like u don't care but ur shoot was amazing
I love that light. I had the chance to use them in Las Vegas in the WPPI 2020. They were amazing. I use flashpoints lights but I am willing to buy some Rotolights.
You are so great and thank you for sharing so much!
Hi jason Great videos, Love to see Aeos and A9 at 20 frames high speed sync.
I was LIKE# 777... :) love this video. My son was born on 7-17-07 at 7pm no luck, just BLESSED
never cease to impress..! keep it coming :)
dammmmnnn making it seem so effortless with that one handed photography. lol
So wish I would've participated in this.
Light crew did a great job helping. Jason - Are you planning to come out to Portland anytime? Summer is coming, so it won't be raining on you all the time. =)
rotolight look great! i saved for a very long time to get 2 set of the AEOS 2... i got them and i didn't notice they don't come with batteries or a transmitter. So, i am waiting and saving for a very long time to get batteries and transmitter. So, i will comment on the rotolight when i get to use them out doors.
Great video, Jason!
Jason, You got some dirt on the rear element of that 70-200 GM lens. It's time to flip the zeiss cleaning kit out of the bag ;). Look at 7:09, there's a dark spot on the yellow bokeh ball, left side of the frame.
you can just use any LED, or just a high speed speed light or just put your camera on a tripod, so many ways to get the same results.
Beautiful photos,but if you had to pay for the 4 assistant's the model and the photographer,would they be worth it?
This reminds me of the Angry Photographer's photo shoots.
Great work ...but changing lenses while camera is on?
Yeah, that's a good comment...I noticed that too. I have an old T3i and I always turn it off before I change lenses...but maybe I don't need to? Who knows.
tscholent i never shut down my camera changing lenes..often no time and iv never had anything happen
tscholent From what I've been told you turn off the camera before swapping lenses because leaving it turned on, the sensor attracts dust like a magnet! Further research-- people also say not turning it off when swapping could fry your camera.
I can`t afford any assistants.... But, hey, great shots, and many tips to follow anyway!!!
I have been watching Jason's vids for a couple weeks now. He has good info on Sony A7's (and A9) and lenses he uses to get the shot he wants (like the 200mm in this vid = bringing in the red sign in the background). But, I've noticed (and been quite annoyed by) the *poor sound quality*. His voice is running too hot somewhere in the audio chain.
DISTORTION (high pre-gain) sounds GREAT on electric guitars! But is is SO ANNOYING on voices. @6:05-6:30 this vid sounds good - there's no distortion. His voice is *nice a clear*. I can clearly understand what he is saying. You will also notice that his voice is quieter in this passage of video. That's NOT to say that he needs to talk quieter!! NO! In fact, we need him to continue to speak up as he does (quite well I might add) because then your microphone will be less sensitive to the ambient sound in his environment (like the people at the wedding at Disney, or the sound of the ocean in this vid, or people walking by or who/whatever is there. You're not in a quiet sound studio.) Before and after that point in this vid (@6:05-6:30) his voice is distorted almost all the time. My guess is that you are running the signal waaay too hot into the sound recording device on location - which is the second part of a lengthy audio chain (the first being the microphone). Your third part is probably whatever processing is done in the computer during post production.
Distortion sounds like $hit, so please please please LEARN how to record AUDIO. You obviously don't know how to because this is the fourth or fifth vid that has $hitty SOUND. It's completely distracting when I'm trying to listen to Jason explain/teach/give tips on how to do what he's doing.
PLEASE FIX THIS ISSUE in future videos!
Most *video* guys have NO clue how to record/compress/process *audio*. I have done audio for a long time. Here's a couple tips:
1. *make sure* that your audio signal (mic) is running into a digital recorder,
2. make sure that recorder has an accurate audio signal level meter,
3. make sure your audio signal level NEVER exceeds *-10dB*.
If your signal ever reaches 0dB then I guarantee that it is actually exceeding 0dB and that's where your distortion problems have begun.
Once you have recorded a distorted signal there is NO way to fix it! There is no "Photoshop Fix" for audio distortion ("barrel or pincushion" LOL).
4. If you find that you are peaking at -10 or even down at -20 and you *still have audio distortion* then it could very well be a piece of crap mic. Good mics are not cheap! (you get what you pay for.) Please ask Jason to invest in his audio gear so that his youtube vids don't sound like crap anymore. LOL.
Here's one example: www.dpamicrophones.com/microphones/dfine/4088-directional-headset-microphone
*Shure* is another brand that has been doing pro audio components for decades (almost every concert you've ever been to has Shure vocal mics on stage - including headset mics).
Thank you.
That flip is a recent addition... hardly ever saw you do that... i do that sometimes with my Nikon gear... did once with sony...
1k for that led, no stand included, the barn door is 350$ that's a mighty expensive light for us non pro shooter Jason. Nice shoot though bro keep up the good work 👌🏼🥂
Thanks for having a black woman on set! That gave me life... I don't know why but it did. I watch your videos all the time, I'll be watching even more. I feel your video is not of an asshole! Spreading knowledge is the best thing someone can do in life! Thanks for these videos!
¡Maestro!
beautiful! Good stuff!
i must agree on the model and the photo's
Hey Jason, what's going on? I swear I saw you taking pictures with two hands on your camera - at least twice!
LOL, damn I'm losing my touch!!
Are you shooting 1/60 @ 200 mm handheld.. that stabilizer is amazing
At last a pro who doesn't use his viewfinder like me.
Santa María Guadalupe, you are a real bastard for the photos my friend, my greatest admiration for you and your work, may God bless you today and always, come to Mexico City, many of us admire your great work and of course your great style
"Get on your knees for me, honey". I was always afraid to say stuff like that, accidentally.
