Creative Portrait Photography Continuous Lighting Tips

- When you shoot portrait photography with continuous lighting as opposed to flash strobes, you immediately see how tiny adjustments make major differences. You'll see this in action in this video by Jonny Edward, along with scores of other tips and advice. Jonny is an accomplished editorial and fashion photographer, art director, and creative educator. In addition to providing lots of insight on how to capture dramatic and engaging studio portraits, he specifically highlights the virtues of two surprisingly affordable spotlights from Nanlite, the FS-300B and FS-60B.
With durable, built-to-last construction, and highly color-accurate and beautiful light output, both of these lights are hard to beat. The onboard controls are easy to use, they can be directly controlled via built-in Bluetooth with the free NANLINK app for iOS and Android (as Jonny demonstrates in the video), and they can be wirelessly controlled with 2.4G in situations where you don't want to use a phone or tablet. The FS-300B has a Bowens Mount, so it works with a vast number of modifiers, and the FS-60B has the FM Mount, which has its own ecosystem of modifiers, and it comes with a Bowens Mount adapter as well.
Both light are bi-color, which means you can easily adjust the color temperature from warm, indoor lamp tones, to the white light of bright sunshine, and every shade in-between. Jonny demonstrates this as well, and gives you a taste for how many different looks this feature provides.

Thank you, Jonny Edward. It's very inspiring to watch you working. Thank you Nanlit.
Finally a good look at constant light for portrait photographers! Thank you!
This is just wonderful! Love this so much!!
Gorgeous work by the both of you and beautiful lighting
Yes!!! Jonny Is the best! Love this!
Bravo my friend! It's always a pleasure to see you in the "zone". You are the consummate teacher...I am always learning. See you in April.
Great video! I love my Nanlite Zoom Spot too ❤️❤️❤️
Wow that’s really beautiful, great work
Excelent video. Eso chingon.
Thank you for addressing the burning issue of continuous vs strobe towards the end. 😉
I’m debating making the switch from strobes myself. I am however concerned with the amount of light output and it’s effect on the exposure triangle. From the images, it’s pretty clear you’re not needing to shoot at a higher ISO, wide open or a slow shutter speed….which is awesome! Can you give a ball park figure on what you are able to shoot at under these circumstances and still come up with these beautiful, crisp images? Thanks!!
Thanks for asking! Jonny Creative gave us the following info on his camera settings for this shoot
"My ISO stayed at 400 throughout. Aperture varied between 1.2 and 5.6 and I kept my shutter speed at 1/60 or above relative to those settings."
Hope this helps!
awesome
I'm right east of you in Nebraska!!
Thank you so much for this video, it was very informative and the images are beautiful! My question is that I see the live image as having a red tone but the still image you show has been color corrected and I'm wondering if you changed the settings in your camera first or adjusted in post? I'm working with a Newer light and my biggest complaint is the redness that is sometimes impossible to even adjust well in post. I would love to know how you deal with that issue. Thanks!
I just realized I made a mistake, I'm using Smallrig LED RC 120B. The Newer reference is the softbox I'm using and my mind just does that sometimes!
Nice video!! Where can I buy the backdrop?
Thank you Jonny! This is so inspiring. Would you mind to share where to get the olivegreen dress from the first set?
According to the incredibly talented Mr. Jonny Edward:
“It’s the Gloria dress from Sew Trendy Accessories. (: “
Two questions :) Where did you get tjhis beautiful dress, first dress? What are you setting on your camera?
Amazing!!! Would be even more if you can, to include camera settings
Thanks for you comment!! We’ll absolutely include camera settings next time around. In the meantime Jonny Creative supplied us with the following info “My ISO stayed at 400 throughout. Aperture varied between 1.2 and 5.6 and I kept my shutter speed at 1/60 or above relative to those settings.”
SUPER. SUPER , THE BEST VIDEOS

You still work with Flash though¿ light paint swirl around her w flash and total darkness.
with the light in the large modifier what is the output? What ISO/Shutter/aperture are you at to produce enough exposure? I'm trying to gauge how powerful the lights are

🥰🥰🥰
Good video, his work is so great ! i was searching this lights but B&H said that there is no stock :( . Hope you can share more videos like this one!! thank @NanliteUSA
This wouldn’t work for large format photography. Especially when you want to use a faster shutter speed to get sharper images. Not to mention lower film speeds. Hope their lights get stronger in the future.
He could speak more slowly. My head starts to buzz
Sorry. Looks like a circus act
