Thank you Milanote for sponsoring todays video
In my last Behind The Scenes I used budget gear but you guys mentioned that you would also like to see budget Light used. So today I am using my old canon 430EX II Speedlite, and to make it even more inexpensive i will using on camera, without any receivers or transmitters.

Llllllllll
Good Job👏
👍❤️
Please give a smile 😊

❤️❤️❤️
She is a beautiful and talented woman for sure!
This is absolutely inspiring and shows you really can make absolutely beautiful photos on a decent budget with good skills.
wardrobe is the key here. Followed by smoothing out the skin
You are so amazing, Irene! You seamlessly move from your creative right brain to your technical left brain! You are both a professional photographer and professional stylist and model. It’s a joy to watch you create! Thank so much, Bonnie😊
This was a terrific tutorial on lighting and using simple, non-expensive equipment. The photos are absolutely stunning. The orange really popped.
You are truly amazing, I love your work. Their's a lot of photographers on you tube. But when you help the people on a budget it's noticed. Everyone are so stuck on new gear cameras and stuff . That it's not even about photography anymore. Thank you.
Since I came across your channel I can’t stop watching your videos. The way you explain and show everything that beginners can also understand is fantastic! Thank you for sharing these helpful videos with us! 🥰
thank you for watching
Love that you showed some of your editing techniques at the end!
Great video Irene, Its amazing what can be done with just 1 simple flash!
A gorgeous set of photos, Irene! 11:00 is my favorite one, I love the composition, the leading line your arm created, and then the 'swoop' of fabric made around your neck and shoulder, pulling the eye to your face and leading back around the whole composition, the colors are also fantastic! I also love the last two outfits, especially the black one, but they both reminded me of 1950/60's Vogue magazine fashions. Beautiful!
❤️❤️thank you
Thank You so much for your video. Had a Canon SL3 and just purchased a Canon RP and 85mm lens with a speed light. You just showed me the equipment I have is enough to start with. Excellent work! I will be following you!
Irene, I'm from Brasil and a follow you a long time. For me, you are amazing the way you explain. My English was terrible, and my photos was a shame. Thank you for teaching me English and photography.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Agree with you on the dress color. I love all the looks and the photos are beautiful. Also, watching you at work motivated me. I’m gonna try some new ideas tomorrow. Thank you for sharing this.
Love the teal dress, also the black dress with vintage hat. Fantastic! Thanks for editing tips.
The pink dress. Definitely! The teal/orange thing may be all the rage but that pink dress imparts something far better. Also, you are so beautiful. Please post more videos of you doing dressup!
Irene does it all - photographer, model, makeup artist, editing, directing, and etc. I assume the camera was one a time delay
Thank you for that Milanote ad!
actually need something like this to replace Pinterest!
This was a lovely and detailed video. I just bought my flash and it will arrive next week, when I'll be shooting my next portrait sessions. Thank Youuu ❤
Thanks for this behind-the-scenes video. LOVE THE PINK!
How did I miss this video? This is so inspiring. Thank you for all you share with us.
Thank you, Irene is always changing the game. From lowest budget to no budget at all, really amazing tutorial thanks again.
Excellent result with such a simple setup. Great retouching skill.
You’re like your own Swiss Army knife 😀 I wouldn’t be surprised if you were doing the filming at the same time too! Great video. Especially loved the blue dress. Looked gorgeous on you and oh those varying tones it gave.
And then She says "I don't like taking photos of me, I don't know I just don't think I’m pretty enough"
Irene Your models are beautiful but when you self-model, I see a more director’s cut from you because you know exactly what you want and how you want it. You look Gorgeous!
As much as I love you snapping models away. I still prefer that the model be you. (I bet many others would agree with me)
You give us another sense of being a photographer.
Love you Irene!
Keep doing what you do!
I never said "i don't think I'm pretty enough" lol
I just simply don't like taking pictures of myself because it's hard and i would rather be behind the camera.
Gray or other colored bed sheets can be used as back drops. And, spring-loaded shower curtain rods can be fit into doorways, etc. Small clamps obtained at hardware stores can hold the to the curtain rods already on windows. There are lots of ways to create free backdrops, including using plain or textured walls. Even patterned wall paper is good if shot far enough behind the subject to add a blur.
Absolutely amazing!! This just proves that it’s not the equipment, but the talented artist that makes beautiful art!!! Just as stunning as any famous photographer’s work.
So therapeutic watching Irene’s bts videos!
Wow, excellent behind the scenes look at your setup and shoot. I loved the explanation of all the gear and props, and your narrative of the shoot and post. And the model is stunning. Thanks for sharing!
I love your creativity, and you explain everything so well. Plus it goes to show complex equipment is not needed when you have good technique. Well done.
A great BTS video of your self portraits, they were all nice attire setups, however, the look that speaks volumes to me is the pink/orange dress.
It is always a treat to see your videos Irene, thank you for all of your teaching and you make a wicked model as well as a presenter.
Wow, just great! Informative, simple explanations and an enjoyable aesthetic spectacle. Bravo!
Found out how to make my own backdrops like this one. Saves so much money and time. Well maybe not time but you get the point. Depending on how big you make them the money spent on one of Kate backdrops you could probably make 5 or more. As far as the quality of photos Irene creates that takes time and patience
Well done! I agree. Great portraits are not a function of equipment. Instead an understanding of the basics. Also, you are just as good in front of the camera as you are behind it. Well done.
I was contemplating buying the eos rp but now the decision is made....WOW....very simple and really nice Irene.
I found it informative and very visually appealing ; but all your videos and photos are always such, but it never detracts from seeing even more of your work . So well done once again. Just loved it.
thank you Carmen :)
I’m so thankful for these videos. You’re one of the most creative photographers I know.
all of the looks and photos are STUNNING but the red outfit is my favorite!
Wow. Those pictures look great. I never would have believed that. Great tutorial.
Your skill set is off the charts! I love your self portrait shoots even better than model shoots.
Irene, you are as beautiful as many of your professional models. Keep shooting self portraits. very informative.
Couldn't ignore the fill light and back light, they are very well positioned as well for this 3 point lighting setup. Very nice!
There is no fill or backlight. The overhead light fixture in the room has absolutely no effect in the image as a flash overpowers it.
There is just one source of light which is on camera flash bounced from the wall
You truly look like a model. The video is very helpful to those who want to shoot within the budget.
All these images are just wonderful, if you had a collection in a museum I would pay good money to see them.
Ive have been using the same slik tripod for many years. ...it's very heavy and sturdy .....I love it
Well prepared, and fascinated that you are the photographer and the model at the same time and I have to admit you are good in both roles.
I FEEL PINK IS STUNNING , ALSO LIKE THE BLACK OUTFIT WELL DONE AGAIN
You're not only a great photographer but also such a gorgeous model ! Your self portraits are beautiful.
THANK YOU!! I’m a photography student and this video is amazing and it helped me so soooo much 😍🤭🙏🏽 THANK YOUUUU and much love from Italy!
Very pretty my favourite was the blue outfit and the red with the hat. Irene you are very talented. I think it is great that you bring us this beautiful content in this crazy time. This has given me some great ideas for a photoshoot Than you.
Irene great video, I enjoyed and learned more about self portraits. I prefer the orange as well, looks better on you.....
Definitely prefer the orange. It is classier giving a much richer look. As always, thanks for the inspiration and Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas 🎄
Finally the Beautiful modelling shots came out from the Beautiful photographer. I loved all the compositions.
Dear Irene, Ira if you wish, you are very very humble woman and ultra talented photographer. Actually I think that you are one of the best portrait photographers out there. I'm really pleased to see your proficiency. You can collaborate more with the Dpreview site to review some lenses, as you did recently. You are fabulous!
Wow... Love the simple set up n not to mention the model❤️👍🏻more Irene self portraits pls
I still use a 430EX mkii I purchased well over 10 years ago mainly as a travel flash. My 2nd flash is a 580EX mkII which is pretty good bit kit. I also have a Slik Sprint Pro tripod again purchased well over 10 or 12 years ago for travel. Any sturdy large form tripod is fine for home / studio work as you requested not worried about is size or weight for transporting. Irene is giving sound advice on what area of walls to bounce flash from. You also use big reflectors, white card, white bed sheets, form etc if you have a dark styled room at home.
That's a great advice, white sheers in the wall would work so well
I love your self portraits. I have tried and failed, but you always give me new inspiration! Thank you!
Каждое видео - море вдохновения! Хочется даже в три часа ночи резко все бросить и снимать-снимать-снимать!
The photos are great. Absolutely amazed that this shoot was done with just a speed light. It is a credit to you as a master photographer.
Another great video, thank you! I definitely prefer pink personally, but I agree with you the orangey rust color did look better!
Stunning shots, great tips and inspiration. Pink colour dress looks more punchy to me and suits your skin tone
One thing I really love about your channel is when you mention dollar figures it's in Canadian dollars so I don't have to do conversions in my head. I remember watching a photography tutorial that mentioned $200 for something and it turned out to be like $250 when converted, as well shipping charges from the USA 😕
Hola Irene! Muy fortunado de haberme encontrado con tu canal. Gracias por tanto que nos enseñas. Te quiero mucho!!!!
I work at a camera store and so many people just want to buy the big flash kit when they start doing shoot thinking it will make them good. I will now refered them to this video so they understand that yes, gear is important, but you can do a lot with not much!
These photos turned out beautiful! I personally like the pink dress because I felt like it popped more. Definitely going to try a few of these techniques for some self portraits!
i like the pink! the photos are sooo good!!
Always enjoy when you do self portraits! The 430EX was my first speedlight too. Bought it for $40. It’s a great deal second hand for a light with TTL and HIgh speed sync! Also bounce flash is a great technique for beginning photographers to learn! Good work !
This was a very good example of how to shoot studio work on a budget.Good editing also helps!
Wow!!! Amazing portraits..amazing what you can do with a budget! Thank u for this video
Can always sount on you to teach us great stuff! I have this speedlite and have been getting frustrated with it. Now not as much
yasss girl this is so good!!!
I have watched so many of your videos but never commented, I have all sorts of lighting but I'm new to portrait photography to a certain extent and even with my newer stuff, I might dust the cobwebs off of my speed lights occasionally now thank you!
Irene is really a master of portrait photography 👌
I thought the orange was perfect!! So many awesome shots girl you do such a great job and are absolutely beautiful!!
Incredible shoot. I love this and you as the model. I loved all looks but the last was the best.
Irene... you have real good skills in photography and great ideas.. Thank you for sharing...
👍Hello Irene, My name is Kerry Van. I like all your photos taken at home. it’s a beautiful pictures. (I’ve you are professional photographer) I have a Canon EOS 5D Mark III and Canon EOS 70D with prime lens 24-105 f/4 IS II USM and Tamron lens 18-275 Div. I don’t have Time to take a photo. All my great gears in my luggage all the time. Oh yeah keep it up good work. Thank you!
Beautiful! I love the pictures, I did love the pink dress 😍
Super work as usual. U don't need any model u did it very well. Keep inspiring. God bless.
i always wanted to zoom on the photos in the video and now you did it. this is so great. thanks
These look fantastic and almost like oil paintings. I liked the explanation of the flash and set up at beginning and hope you incorporate a few more of these photography technique bits in future videos as they're helpful. Thanks for the video.
I love your lion's mane hairstyle. It's fabulous. 😍
I'm just here to play the Value Village drinking game. Every time Irene shouts out VV take a drink!
Loved this! Thanks for the clear explanation & beautiful photos! And orange dress all the way!
This is great Irene as you always amaze me with your shoots and have really done some fantastic ones in the last few videos. Love how you mentioned the surroundings and how the light reflects of the blinds and other objects in the room. Your shoot was absolutely beautiful as you could easy be a model yourself. Be safe and thanks again for all the info and tips. The orange looked the best to me though all the colors looked great on you. Loved how you pulled off the vintage look as well. Merry Christmas and thanks again. 😍🤗❤❤❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Wonderful video and explanations. You don't need to hire a model when you are so beautiful yourself! Stunning images!
This is really amazing editing.. that's some serious skills 😄👍
You're so gorgeous, Irene. Love seeing you as the model! Thankyou for making this video, I only have an entry camera, crop-sensor, and often feel like my photos aren't good enough because I'm not shooting on a more expensive professional full-frame. Really inspiring to see other photographer's prove it doesn't matter what gear you have, it's how you use it :)
You're amazing Irene! I love your videos and your work. You're so talented and creative and so beautiful!
You just gave an idea for my Christmas lockdown photo project ... and I prefer the orange
Stunning 😍 short and very helpful video. Thank you Gorgeous ❤️
Pink! Beautiful pictures
Oh, wow. I just love what you did with this setup. And your color work is really lovely. The change of the dress color in particular was really inspiring. I hope you do more self-portrait work in future videos!
Orange~!!! makes me wanna get good in photography, I just started!
what a great video,you look stunning in all of the photos,my favourite is you in pink at the end,and thanks for the tips about the speed light reflecting
Wow, great editing on the already very well made photos! As always, great content! ☺️👍
Pink!!! Lol, very nice pictures with 1 flash.
Holly crap you rocked it this go around with your self portraits
love it, im not a pink fan at all so i like the orange, it all looks amazing.
Great video Irene!! I’ve been using Speedlights for years in my professional photography and there is soooo much you can do with these simple flashes! ⭐️📸⭐️
