Yea! I have "arrived!" After following you for 3 years I finally already have a piece of gear you are highlighting: The Westcott X backdrop system. But a big thank you for showing me how to use it. 🤣 This is one of my favorite Jay P videos b/c of the trip-shoot and wonderfully interesting subjects requiring various lighting solutions. Gotta ding you on the DasCafe shoot though. I just knew we'd see a shot of the sisters with that beautiful mural side wall and antique rusty gate with the facade peeking into the right side of the frame. You need to drive back there and shoot some more. 🤣 Wow-you must have had a fun time on this trip shoot and I loved learning from your techniques. Thank you!
Nice! I really want to set up a portable tunnel backdrop like Peter Lindbergh did. Does anyone has ideas what stands and racks he was using for tunnel light?
You could try making a box with some of these Westcott Scrims: www.fjwestcott.com/scrim-jim-71-x-71-black-block?acc=d09bf41544a3365a46c9077ebb5e35c3 or these 8x8 black x-drops: www.fjwestcott.com/x-drop-pro-wrinkle-resistant-backdrop-8-x-8?acc=d09bf41544a3365a46c9077ebb5e35c3
Did you find the wescott stand flimsy? I've used it outdoors and found it to be unhelpful since it's too delicate, flimsy and the material see through.
@@coryhultquist580 I talked about the light coming through the drop in the video. Most any BD will allow light to pass through. I think I will layer the Black behind the gray in the future so it does not have that problem. That is one solution. The kit is lightweight and does need a sandbag. It worked great for us. Cheers
I'm just not sure I get it. It's a neat portable backdrop thing, and you're showing how it works. But I don't see why you would want a gray backdrop in any of those portraits. But I watch the channel regularly and learn stuff.
It's a creative thing. Taking a BD on location and showing it in the scene. The real use is to use it to get an image of your person that has a studio look when you are on location.
The images without the drop were separate images. It is just showing how easy it is to shoot both when the client wants an outdoor shoot and wants some headshots on a drop.
Thanks for sharing your problems and how you dealt with them!
No problem. Pun intended!!
I love your channel and your great tips!
Thanks so much. You are Goat subscriber.
Fantastic! Thank you!
You're very welcome! Thanks for watching!

I should have gotten a photo on the side of the cafe. Good Catch.
Nice photo idea! :)
Keep up the good work!
Will do. We are just getting home from the Grand Canyon where we shot a new video on Tri-X film. More to come.
I just bought that backdrop!
That is great. Good luck and post some images using the BD to our FB group. Love to see them.
Thank you
Our pleasure

I’ve started using sand bags for it on location, and it’s always a challenge to find strategic places to make sure the light doesn’t pass through.

So the shots where the backdrop wasn’t in the scene was that edited out? Or a separate photo? Little confused sorry!!

@@TheSlantedLens ahh thank you 🙏 understood now haha! Love your channel been following for a long time.
They make an 8x8 version of the X drop now which is a much better piece of equipment all around.
They are sending the 8X8. I'm excited to use it. Thanks
