In this fashion photography tutorial, Patrick Hall shares a few different lighting setups that mix natural light with studio lighting techniques. Using the FujiFilm GFX 100, a few different lenses, and a couple Profoto B10 strobes, this how to tutorial explains how you can create high quality photographs with minimal retouching in software like lightroom or photoshop. In fact, all images are edited with Exposure X5's destructive free software.
Special thanks to our models @Augustasloan and @ShelbyStedman represented by @toutmodels modeling agency based in Charleston, South Carolina.

The best thing about Patrick is that he also fits conveniently in a photo back pack. Ideal for travel or on location shooting ;)
Roland _ When my luggage is over weight by 2 pounds, I wish this argument held up. 🤷🏻♂️ -P
His not a short guy, just always standing in a hole.
My aunt's name was Augusta. I love that it is still being used ♥️
Shelby has Patrick looking like a hobbit. lol
Thanks for putting something out that, while sponsored, still feels like the underlying lessons are applicable with a range of gear sets.
Legend has it... that it's still rendering
I can hear Lee shouting: "5? You gave that a 5?"
I'm starting to see why my friend is just in love with this Exposure X5. We both are Fuji shooters and he keeps saying "No WORMS, NO WORMS" lol. Then he got Affinity and he says he is in heaven. He says they have replaced LR and PS and he says he will never look back.
I initially thought Shelby was standing on a box or something, amazing.
Patrick does a superb job of verbalizing his thoughts and processes. Nice video, thank you!
Fantastic video.. that was a lot of work.. Great job Patrick and everyone involved. Thank you!
'4 images for how much? Can't you just send us all the photos?'
-Every client ever
Christopher O'Grady yeah it depends on how big your client is. Large clients often hire you just to take the photos and deliver the raw files and then they edit and process them through their agency or their own in house graphic designer/retoucher. This is preferred since you can act just as the photographer, shoot, deliver the files, and move on to your next job. Smaller clients might want final edits of everything including skin and clothing retouching. You really needs to make a clear description of how much of that is included in the day rate otherwise you will be editing until the moon turns blue. I personally just do a basic raw adjustment of all images and then offer to retouch individual images for a set fee. -P
Dude! This lady really asked me to deliver over 150 pictures lol 😂
Fstoppers sounds like a dream come true
@@FStoppers I know I just promised a client with photoshoot of her son and daughter wearing three outfits each and included in the price would be touch-ups and basically you know some general Photoshop. After taking the pictures I noticed that the daughter had really bad acne all around her chin. I spent over a week editing out her acne in over 125 pictures!!! Next time I'm going to think before I speak!!
I set limits to how many i retouch if a package. so they know what they are getting before they send me a deposit.
gfx system is amazing. I use 50S 32-64 a lot for commercial work. It rocks
Thank you, Fstoppers!
Русские фотографы улыбаются глядя на эти карточки. Техники много, локации крутые, результат оставляет желать лучшего.
Loved the video! The best photos are of David's posing! Hahahahhaha
Thank you very much for sharing your work. That's very good quality stuff ! Thanks!
I need some B10’s💯awesome images !!
Well done boys! Parick, you da man!
Thanks for this great video tutorial. It would have been nice if you had mentioned the methods you use for calculating exposures using different, mixed light sources.
Good stuff patrick... amazing as always
Awesome tips, I like the behind the scenes.
Muchas gracias!
What a great tutorial, thanks for sharing!!!👏
All those beautiful surroundings and stunning natural light... Let's go inside and use a white wall and a strobe light! Eh...
ya got of thoses amazing place, and just wasted by go inside, and do something common
I don't know what it is about your videos, but I just find them so compelling. I don't always agree with your stylistic choices (the idea of leaving a C stand in a shot or shooting in a dark barn where the clothing is barely discernible with bars as the background seems so bizarre to me). However, you are just so much fun to watch (yes...even Lee - lol). Keep up the great work guys!!
Stfu
Really nice photography,Thanks for sharing!!!
From iso.org (About page) "Because 'International Organization for Standardization' would have different acronyms in different languages (IOS in English, OIN in French for Organisation internationale de normalisation), our founders decided to give it the short form iso. Iso is derived from the Greek isos, meaning equal. Whatever the country, whatever the language, we are always iso."
It's a word "iso", not an acronym "I-S-O". Think isometric or isochronous. It would be nice if TH-cam influencers would learn this.
This is one of the best tutorials i have seen.
Firstly thaks for this video, So Which camera and lensess dou you used in backstage video?
middle of field of long "broom" grass, huge old trees in background, and sunset...HHmmmm what else is needed, Got it! strobe and man made painted tarp from europe, you know the beginner kit. hahaha.
Obviously im being sarcastic, it would be tough if I were working for someone that I had to stuff the vid with affiliate products. speaking of products, I am currently using my newly created font, if interested, hit me up!! Ha. Be well all, thanks Patrick.
If anything, the one thing that would put me off of buying the Fuji would be that 'rendering' time (surely due to file size) everytime you make an adjustment. That would drive me insane. Maybe it was because you were using screen capturing too, or maybe it runs smoother in C1 or PS. But I just couldn't put up with that! Also just an FYI Patrick, but your retouching & editing will improve greatly if you throw that mouse in the trash and start using a Wacom. Everytime you make a click, you have to reduce the strength/opacity when a simple (pressure sensitive) brush stroke would accomplish that.
@Matthew Neder A Wacom tablet is a pressure sensitive tablet that you 'draw' on. You use a stylus (like a pen), and the tablet can read how hard you push on it, making it infinitely better for retouching. To be honest, I've been using one for almost 10 years now and haven't used a mouse since. I use it for everyday computer use as well, not just photo editing. Phlearn has some pretty good tutorials on the benefits of using one if you want to see it in action.
6:55 Augusta gets booored! Come on, Patrick... ;)
Boone Hall?? Looks Epic! Miss that place!
Two Shea Films No, this is a privately owned plantation out near Beaufort. -P
Watching the tutorial was really enjoyable. I have Nikon d800 and decided to buy some lenses for wedding photography can you help me with that? Thanks.
Best regards.
Thank You!
The production value of your content right now is absolute gold - when the quality of the tutorial meets the quality of the actual photoshoot, you know you guys have really hit the sweet spot. Great content.
We agree
Thank you very much ❤️
I would've loved to see your interaction with the models to get those expressions
Kubmats fashion is a strange thing as usually the expressions are so serious and tough looking. I have a lot of more soft, lifestyle expressions but I didn’t include them in this video. -P
Thanks for the video.. can we have some photos to play with?
I think this may be your best video, by far, Fstoppers. The page had drifted a lot over the years, with outside contributors and their political injections, drifting from the original intent of Fstoppers. And I love that you are very clear that the sponsors are paying for this - how many times have we heard recently that Fstoppers is just being paid to promote product? Here, you can see that any claims are true. Images look great, pace was perfect. Nice job!
Perfect video
What software tools do you use for post processing your images?
I do image editing work (background removal, ground shadows, airbrushing the skin, etc.) regularly for fashion sellers and companies and recently came across AutoRetouch (autoRetouch - The first end-to-end, automated image processing platform.) I really like their service, even though it's not perfect. They are super cheap (€0.1 per image) and offer PSD export, so I use them mainly for pre-processing and finish the work myself in Photoshop.
Since you need a huge amount of pictures when you first start AutoRetouch could help you by retouching huge batches at once.
The problem with youtube fashion photography is that the model is the subject, instead of model being a model to showcase fashion..... that is why most of these photos look soulless and bland, and because of that you have to compensate it with smoke, locations..etc... meanwhile Irvin Penn can make a 1000x better photo with a white background. Because he use the model as a model.
Isn't he died?
Magic clamps should sort the lighting in the hunting hut
Nice video....Robert playing a little bit😉
800 Euros for a backdrop... Nah I'm good.
Magnus Walander they are HUGE for that size plus you get a free smaller one for free and free shipping. Many similar canvases are 2 or 3x as much. -P
@@FStoppers Okay, didn't know that. Still seems like something you could DIY!
We offer actually 4 backdrops shipped for 800 euros for Fstoppers readers (so we pay shipping worldwide for really large and heavy package). I am sure you cannot paint it by yourself if you use quality canvas, primers and acrylic paints it will cost you more than that. Mimi
@@konstapelwalander check out Kate backdrops. You can get them on Amazon and they're amazing. I get 8 foot by 8 foot 4 $99 with free shipping. And if you don't like it you can return it. Kate backdrops. Oh yeah and Savage paper
Magnus Walander if you’ve ever tried to paint your own backdrops you know how big of a pain in the ass it can be....not to mention they never look even and subtle in tonality. -P
You had me at hello ,,,,
What smoke machine are you using? (and would you recommend it?)
I can't find the specific one. I bought it at Target a few years ago after halloween and I've used it a ton. It isn't the most powerful fogger for outdoor use (or in the barn like this) but it usually does the job. Many times it's too powerful for indoor use unless you want that overly smokey look. I think I paid $30 for it but it might have been $50 before Halloween? -P
Great video, it sure is good to see all it took to make those great images as sometimes some of us may find it challenging pre visualizing things ahead of time. Thank you Patrick Hall for sharing so much great tips!
Thank you for this tutorial, Patrick. Can you briefly share the pricing structure (no need for numbers) of this shoot? You said "hired for 100 looks" but I'm struggling to understand how that is structured price-wise. Is the client paying a large sum for the shoot, then a second amount for their favorite photos? Or are they paying for everything with the expectation that they may not use all 100 looks? Thank you for all your hard work and knowledge.
masterolivestudio the boutique didn’t pay for this particular shoot since it was more of a collaboration. That being said, I recently did have a brand ask me to photography no less than 100 looks in 8-10 hours for a Black Friday campaign that was botched by another photographer.
In that shoot, we did far less hero shots like this and more or less designed about 5 small sets on a similar farm ironically. I referred 10 models to them, they picked out and paid for 3. We then rotated girls out as fast as you can think with each girl getting about 3mins per look. Each look had a series of front shots, side shots and back shots. It was an assembly line.
Since the deadline was so short with Black Friday approaching, they asked for me to just dump all 8000 images taken into a hard drive at the end of the shooting day. Because no retouching or even culling was done on my part, I charged them a day rate of $5000, paid my assistant $500 of that, and charged them $2000 for a 3 year license. So I made $6500 out the door, the client was thrilled with my teams professionalism and quality of images, and they had their in house team prep the images for their website in time for Black Friday.
Many times the licensing fee can be greater than the day rate depending on the usage and brand but since this was a small regional boutique based out of North Carolina, and because they just had a horrible experience with the first photographer they hired, I set a bargain rate IMO.
So to answer your question, I wouldn’t necessarily charge more for 10 looks or 100 looks since I’d just charge a day rate on the shooting regardless. The licensing is where you can adjust that fee. If they need rights to 1000 images, then that will be more than 10 images. Usage as in billboards, magazines, web, tv, point of sale, etc etc also increases the fee as does length of time and exclusivity. For the shoot referenced, I did a 3 year exclusive license for $2k but these images were very particular to these clothes they were shipping in from China and the style was specific to their brand. I don’t think they would be worth much to anyone else.
I hope that helps. If this sort of thing interests you, I’d highly recommend checking out Monte Isom’s tutorial in the Fstoppers store. His Facebook group is worth the price of that tutorial on its own . The stories and rates I’ve seen photographers quote and secure through that resource is insane and makes me feel like the business of photography is alive and well! -P
@@FStoppers Wow, just wow. Thank you for taking the time to craft this in-depth response, this was truly helpful. My take away from this is that it seems like you have to simply know your production value, and allow the client to communicate what they want, then be able to offer a simple flat rate that (that covers your costs and profit obviously) works for both parties. It seems like at this level (in reference to this video and your response) these types of clients literally don't have the time to think about line items or spend the time making package decisions. I appreciate the response and if what you recommend is anything akin to this type of interaction I'm totally checking it out, I've been a long time lurker too busy to get involved but I'll give it a shot. Thanks! -Andre
masterolivestudio oh don’t get me wrong, you still may need line items if the shoot is complex enough. Many times photographers are required to cast models, deal with catering, you might want a digital tech, multiple assistants, you might have to rent some gear, travel, scout, pay for a shooting location, get permits, etc etc. All those things still need to be outlined in a proposal and invoice but in my last example it was just a lot easier than that with the company taking on most of those responsibilities. I do like to make things simple for myself but I’m honestly not shooting at that $30-50k (or higher) level that often requires tons of line items. Day rate and license, maybe some cash for my assistant(s), boom done! -P
Thank you for putting this up. Lot's of great on-location information in here (and why are ppl complaining about the sponsoring? That makes such great content possible. I am not forced to buy a Fuji and ProFoto... Well... the backdrops, they are a different story. I WANT THEM! 😂 )
Touchup background is good, but does X5 have the ability to change backgrounds?
Never been this early. Nice guys! This is an awesome sponsored tutorial!
"I don't know, i've met anyone with another Augusta" xD
Very nice Tutorial tho!
I am not going crazy with this edit >>> Literally 3 seconds after : let's try something crazy :-D
George Stancl isn’t that how it always goes? -P
This was amazing but what's up with the rendering? Is that the program or the file sizes?
Sven Cairo both. Exposure uses alot of adaptive/rasterized layered effects and takes time
@@martin_wood thanks for clearing that up.
Really interesting from start to finish. Thank you!
I am still a beginner photographer but, how did you get both women focused?
I've tried getting 4 people focused in a group photo at 8.0 but it still didn't have everyone focused?
What did I do wrong?
Thanks in advance!
You guys are the only ones I know who use Exposure instead of Capture One or Lightroom. Do you guys ever use Capture One for your own photos?
Not sure about that 😂, since he is using Exposure for 15 years now I don’t think he can work on pro softwares 🤪
What brand is the background stand used in the outdoor shoot @ frame 14:54?
It's the Avenger 11' stand. This is my favorite stand we have in the studio: www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/67821-REG/Avenger_A5034_A5034_High_Junior_Folding.html/BI/6857/KBID/7410
thanks so much for the video. i am beginer. wish to be a pro. cheers from oslo
Patrick, you are an excellent instructor and speaker. It was such a pleasure to watch this episode.
16:23
- Go ahead and give me series of poses!
- when you notice you won't have any luck with that girl-
These images are seriously inspired. Great job man!
With what did you film this video?
How can we contact the plantation to be able to shoot there? Thank you!
It's super private and I doubt they want anyone out there shooting. It's not owned by a large organization like many of the other ones are. It doesn't even have a historic house so it's more like a ton of land that they just call a plantation. -P
Is that Forrest gump's home? 😁
非常喜欢，一键三连
Awesome!!! Thank you for the information, I always watch your videos and always feel there is so much more to learn.
The key here is getting access to professional models like these.
the amount of difference this makes allows you to do so much more with a photoshoot! I can't even figure out where to find pro models.
Such a great great walk through of a shooting session, thank you for sharing!
"What are you? like seven feet tall?" hahahahaha
I am the only one, who doesn't like the shots?
Yeap;
О чувак, я тебя понимаю.
One of the models looks like young skinny Chelsea Northrup.
You low key calling Chelsea FAT???
@@jonothandoeser I'd say she's normal looking.
But you probably scouted the location beforehand and plotted out the composition and type of lighting you would use
Man, everyone wants to shoot with 100MP, we know. We just can't afford it
Takes up WAY too much memory space and rendering time.
За деньги 🤙📸💰
Profoto couldn't provide a softlighter modifier? :D
We have so many modifiers, I just used a few of my favorite ones. -P
@@FStoppers I hear you, just love giving $hit to profoto since their stuff costs so much. I use their silver reflector umbrellas with a diffuser for quick headshots just so I can look opulent if another photographer sees me.
What was the behind the scenes shot on?
Michael Scanlon Panasonic gh5 as always -P
@@FStoppers Thanks looks great!
Lol, noticed you cut out saying the sync speed of the camera. It’s 1/125th.
Phillip Coveney yeah I mentioned that a few times in the video. -P
What Manfrotto was used in the barn? 5:47
francisco rivera the MTO55XPro3. It’s in the description of this video. -P
@@FStoppers I am sorry i meant the light stand with the B10.
francisco rivera I’m not sure which one it was. We love the manfrotto stand that converts into a boom arm but I don’t know if that’s what I used. -P
Great information, thank you for sharing!
this man this software looks exactly like lightroom but adobe stil not able to add layers in to the photoprocess.. goddamn
How are you? You look good. Hope everything is fine.
I worked in a showroom where I had to photograph samples to put into a library - I used a simple Canon point-and-shoot or an iPhone / iPad, and it *drove me nuts* when the colors weren't matching the actual sample - I'm not a photographer. All this editing that you're doing - I know lighting is very important - but aren't you changing the garment's colors too, unintentionally?
THATS WHY WE LOVE YOU ;-)
The link for that tripod says aluminum, not carbon fiber
I’m surprised by your edits. Would the shop not want the cloth to be color realistic?
23:35
Isn't that the wrong way round? The whites are the blown out parts, and the highlights are the broght bit not blown out areas.
So the histogram goes: blacks-shadows-mid tones-highlights-whites
This is a commonly misunderstood principle. The highlights are the absolute brightest, right most part of the histogram. If you have a sky that looks clipped, the highlights slider will bring back more detail than the white slider. The white slider usually acts almost as a brightness slider and in Photoshop Camera Raw, that's exactly what it does.
Here is a good article that explains it better than I probably can: improvephotography.com/29251/difference-highlights-whites-sliders-lightroom/
-P
Exposure X5 Raw link is broken
That's strange, I just checked it and it worked on our end. -P
@@FStoppers Hmmmmm it's ok now :P
I might ne the only one but u sorta hate pictures that are half backdrop and half location/scenery I much prefer one or the other
100 mega pixels is more resolution than the resolution of the lens itself.So its too much and more expensive.But its good fore camera marketing!
Why are all their gear in all their videos way more than most of us can afford. Can you do a video with gear that's reasonably priced.
We use lots of gear throughout our channel. This particular video was just sponsored to show the GFX100. You can easily use any camera in the last 10 years to produce similar results. -P
What's a 4?
Not a fan of backdrops in a location. I know Annie Leibovitz and others have done it with some success but in this case I think it sucks. The cabin would look better without IMO
Compare to the second model You look like Frodo baggins
expensive equipment here Dammmmm
dude, ur backdrop stand is in all the pictures u love the best? and the top of the backdrop cuts of in the middle of heas?
agikus yeah that’s the style. -P
I think that there should have been more of a focus on accurate color earlier in the shoot; with this being for a clothing company (whether you are shooting for a website, Instagram, or a catalog, it is to be put in front of paying customers who will buy something or return something because of the color) it is literally the work where color accuracy is most needed and should not be done by eye or feel. 25:00-26:00
Shelby was uncomfortably tall.
Or someone else is uncomfortably short. Two sides to a coin, as the ol' sayin' goes. Or we should just not care and concentrate or pertinent sh*t.
