Why can't TH-cam have more videos like yours, straight to the point with samples & no on going B.S. Damn good video Period!
Probably the best video I've seen explaining Rembrandt lighting. The videos I've seen NEVER took you to the beginning of light placement and how that carries over to the "triangle" of light on the opposite cheek. Can't wait to try it. Thanks again!
Thank you for watching!!
it's so rare to find such clear and well explanation. Thank you so much. Love that new lighting Westcott came up with.
Thanks so much, Eder!
Straight to the point step by step, the way it should always be. Sadly TH-cam is lacking people like this.
Another fantastic tutorial from Glyn Dewis, this style of lighting is something that I have admired in Glyn’s work for sometime, I missed his explanation at the recent 3945 exhibition but now it all makes sense and seems so easy to understand, let’s see if I can work Glyn’s magic with some practice.... Thanks Glyn this has been another valuable experience.
Glad this helped - thanks for watching!
This was a very clear explanation. Not only that, but the additional/incidental advice gave a whole lot of value in improving and honing the craft of photography. For instance, you telling us to practice it as much as possible so that the technicalities are no longer the focus but the end result becomes the focus.
Thank you.
Thanks so much for watching! Having the technical side of photography be second nature opens up so much room for creativity.
Glyn is simply the DUDE!

I like this look, but I miss the catchlight. Is there away to achieve both?
Great video and explanation!
Thank you for watching!
"You can use a square octa!" ha ha ha
Fantastic explaination, thank you!
Thanks for watching Akhil!
The backdrop used in the shoot is the Rustic Latte, not the Vintage Gray one, right?
📸
Great information and explanation. Breaking it down into manageable steps doesn't make it as intimidating. Thanks.
Glyn really knows how break down the lighting process, thanks for watching!
GREAT VIDEO. #Classic
I thought that was Jim Jons from t he Diplomats.
What size is the modifier in this video?
Great photo. I like the wider look. At about 3:25 you say, “If I can see the cheek on the shadow side of his face, then so can the modifier.” Why would you not be able to see his cheek? Did you mean to say, “If I can see the (LIGHT on his cheek from the modeling light on the strobe), then so can the modifier”? Or am I misunderstanding what you're trying to say? At 4:15, you show a finished photo that you said is cross light, but is it really? It's the same photo you show at 7:21, which was after you raised the light. Only at 5:28 do you start moving the light up and making it not horizontal. I get the general idea of what you're trying to say and realize this is not a tutorial, but since you're talking about and trying to demonstrate the differences between cross light and rembrandt, it would be awesome if you showed those two different looks. I've give this a try and see what I come up with.
Standing next to the softbox, facing the same direction with the eyes on the same plane as the surface. Basically, put your head next to the softbox to get the vantage point of the light. From there, if you can see the subject's farthest cheek then so can the light. All done while adjusting the modifier. No modeling lamp required.

@@WatchThatFirstStep Thanks for diving in there Chuck ;)
A square octa :D
Wider environmental is my vote
I don't mean to diminish your work because I think you do some great shots. But I have been a professional photographer for 50+ years and have done literally thousands of portraits. What you call "Rembrandt lighting" is not Rembrandt lighting. Rembrandt lighting (also called "short lighting") is where the face is turned angular to the camera and the predominant side of the face towards the camera is in shadow with a small triangle of light under the eye closest to the camera. The ratio of light is about 4 or 5 to 1 between the highlight side and the shadow side of the face. What you are doing is more "broad lighting" or possibly "split lighting". I was trained many years ago in the different methods and names of classical lighting for portraiture and have been using these techniques ever sense. Also, a persons face is absolutely never photographed directly square to the camera in a portrait. This is what we always called a "passport" photo look and is never used.
😂here we go!!! 🍿 did you not see a triangle under the subjects eye?
45 degree up & angle is not how to achieve a rembrandt ?? no straight on face to camera ever! wow, we all should throw out that horrible thought as to ‘rules can be broken’ - please link your website so that we can see your wonderful work!! I am interested in seeing a “real” Rembrandt triangle look
thanks!
You need to get in a habit of SHOWING us what you are saying rather than keeping the shot on your talking about it. This is where your b-roll comes in handing SHOWING us where you are putting the light.
Probably the worst video explaining the rembrandt triangle. That was a waste of my time.
