You love lighting the short side. Dont see it too often but the results speak for themselves. Gonna try this out more myself. Great vid Kyle. Keep em coming.
This video is awesome. The technique of using the strobe as rim light with the ambient as key is pretty brilliant. I typically let the sun become the rim. I love this technique. Gotta use it more.
Your light is amazing, and the edit bring a "wet" loos, a glow thats so nice! Hope that you can share some insights about your edit, because it's amazing! Natural and beautiful.
It is nice to see the placement of the flash. But can u also include one of two screenshots or settings so we know what it would have looked like when the flashes is not triggered?
Your way of communication with the model make her feels very confident & Having an easy-going mood, One POV : It;s amazing video quality of the BTS even if it was recorded by mobile phone only as noticed from your gopro shot.. Am I right !
Hi Kyle! This was a very nice tutorial, I'm looking into flash photography but I'm not sure I can afford a Profoto flash. Is there an alternative you recommend for me to be able to do this setup?
You can use any brand. Just make sure it’s not too heavy. No need to buy the powerful flash like 500 or 600 ws lights. 200-250ws will do. Don’t use large light modifier either.
Hi, Kyle. Nice video. I have a very specific question that I've asked others and can't seem to get a response in a way that makes sense to me. Maybe you can help. I'm shooting a DSLR and using my light meter to set the background exposure. Most people I've asked are using mirrorless and using the back screen to set their exposure. Could you tell me if you're a full stop underexposed? I like your look, but I'm hoping for a slightly (maybe a half stop at most) brighter background and I need to figure out what I'm looking for on my meter. I'm trying to be more consistent from shot to shot instead of re-inventing the wheel each location and wasting my model's time. Any advice would be appreciated.
I don't have a go to number on the f stops of underexpose or overexpose for the background. I just go with the look. I do the same even during the time I was shooting with DSLR. There are many things are like this. Like the setting of our light or camera. There is no go to number and it shouldn't be. Depends on the shooting location, and the weather, sometimes you have to over or under expose a bit base on your camera reading. But even the camera reading can be off. Nothing is more consistent than your eyes. What you see and how you see it will ultimately define your style. So don't rely on the equipment. I suggest you not using the lighting meter and just check the photos on the camera when you shoot. This might be able to speed up your flow a bit. But, there is really no rush for this. Good art takes time, your model should understand this.

This way of lighting works well on cloudy but not on a sunny day.

Yes, there are some people asking about the post editing. I'll do video about it.
I seldom see people using a strip box outside. I like using mine outside and glad to see you do too. Great video.
So glad I discovered this channel 👌🏾😍
Welcome!!
Great videos. Do you plan on sharing a editing tutorial also ?
Please Kyle, do it for us!!
Yes, soon
As always, amazing content!
Thank you!
Very, very nice. Thank you Kyle. 👌🏾😊
Thank you!
Yet another great video, Kyle! Thank you for sharing your knowledge always!
Thank you!
You’re welcome Kyle! Have a great night!
Hey, Kyle! Can we see the photos without processing? Thank you.
Ok. I'll do photo post on my channel with SOOC shots.
Great Video
Kyle, great information! It looks as though your stand has the ability to adjust for uneven ground. What type of stand is it?
I bought it here: strobepro.com/collections/light-stands/products/9-adjustable-air-cushioned-light-stand
It is nice to see the placement of the flash. But can u also include one of two screenshots or settings so we know what it would have looked like when the flashes is not triggered?
I'll take a couple of natural light only shots next time.
Thank you! But this Behind the scenes + Editing process will be much better!
Your way of communication with the model make her feels very confident & Having an easy-going mood, One POV : It;s amazing video quality of the BTS even if it was recorded by mobile phone only as noticed from your gopro shot.. Am I right !
The photographer who helped my with the BTS is a pro!
Dear Kyle please can you a behind the scenes video of ambient golden/blue hour portrait shoot in the nature with old trees, water or stones ❤
Yes, I will. But have to wait till the weather gets better.
Such a great video! May I ask what brand/model of light stand you're using in this shoot?

Great video! How would you use the flash if this was in daylight with the son? What would your flash and camera settings be?
The position of the lighting will be different, camera setting will be about same other than lower ISO and using darker ND filter.
Thanks for sharing 😊

Hello there Kyle, what size is that strip box?
1x3’
I'm surprised that stripbox is able to wrap around that much.
Kyle you a Nikon/Fuji/Canon/Sony shooter?
I used to shoot with Nikon. Now I use Leica SL2-S and Panasonic S1.
What lighting did you use for this, this is amazing 🤩
I used a Profoto B10 and 1x3' softbox. But the brand doesn't matter.
White pipe protruding not flattering composition wise. Quality Lighting balance dimensional good video
