HOLY MOLY!! Maya, I've just been binge watching your videos as research for starting my own channel and I cannot begin to tell you how helpful you've been! Thank you so so much!
good questions! i have to focus on a toy i have on a stick! then i stand where it was. OR i put the camera in photo mode and use a remote control to focus, mark where i was standing, then change the setting to video and go back! when i first started it was a pain but now i do it so fast :)
I hope you have more of these How-To videos when it comes to video/photography set ups (NO PRESSURE LOL). I can absolutely use google and film/photo blogs/vlogs to further my education in them, which I already have. But seeing it up close and seeing how well you described everything without the language being too technical or advanced to us novices is refreshing and I retain much more info. Thank you for this simple and brilliant video, Mama Shameless.
I love you girl. First of all because you are so comfortable being you. Second you respond to comments - I don't know how you find the time but you do. Third because you share things like this with us. Some vloggers will not share this type of info. I just imagine you as a bff. Stay sweet and always do you. I wish you much success.
I want to start making videos but had no idea where to start now I learned about light. Every video of yours that I watch gives me more guts lol. I appreciate your informative videos.. I think the hardest part about how to videos is giving the details because you already kno everything so you have to go back to square one to explain it to someone else. Thanks for taking the time to guide us :)
Maya I love that you are such a giving person to share all your knowledge! I also love that you can draw, do phot editing and photography. So talented. I really enjoy watching your videos and your fun, positive spirit.
:) my biggest challenge is finding a way to share information so it's properly understood. these types of videos are the hardest for me but it's worth it :)

I have a project to do for photography and this was very helpful. thank you!!
Thank you so much for this video! I can't even begin to describe or explain how much I appreciate it. I'm kinda-sorta-new to both photography and makeup, and lighting is one of my biggest challenges. So I love this. Again, thank you!
it depends on what you're going for. the good thing is it's all digital now so just take a shot and make whatever adjustments...if it doesn't work out you can change it up :)
i watched your draw your life episode and got so inspired as I am currently 18 years old and feel as if I am wasting my life and talent , I love photography, acting , singing and all that but gave up"just because." I no horrible reason but after I watched your video and how you over came the trails in your life and still held on I am genuinely booking a ticket to go to Melbourne in Australia and take photos and get involved with TV shows but keep working to afford more adventures, so thank u
im a photographer (3 years in) I get caught up in strobe photography alot and I forget that natural lighting is the best lighting. Thank you for sharing this with me.
OMG Maya this is hands down my favorite vid you have made! It was so informative and educational. Thanks so much because its always nice to learn from a pro!!!
Awesome tutorial Maya! Love you so sooo much. Your natural inner Light always shines bright through in all of your videos. Im so glad you decided to start your Shameless journey because we would all have missed out on something really big. Keep shining darling. You inspire us all to do the same :)
Window lighting, the natural light from the sun is amazing when taking photos! I'm an amateur photographer, but I have already had my taste of the natural light from the sun! ^_^
Easy to understand, informative tutorial. Please do one on audio because yours is always on point! Thank you for sharing your knowledge, it's appreciated!
I prefer shooting with natural light over anything else, but I'm finding myself in more situations where artificial light sources are needed. Concert photographer is what I like more than anything else. I really enjoy your work and see your fascination with lighting. It's like you take the videographer's approach. Doesn't make sense on the surface, but I know there are subtle differences.
thanks and your welcome :) to be honest, i did this cause i'm tired of seeing awful looking videos here on YT :S i want everyone here to up their game :)
it all depends on your budget. i use all 3 lights it just depends on the look i want. you don't need flawless skin though. actually a lot of gurus here do not have flawless skin and just use really strong light to make it look "flawless".
this tutorial was soooooooo helpful bc i have a mini ring light for makeup shots im not a professional but im dying to start my own channel but didnt know how to really set up my lighting this was awesome i will def be following and watching ur tutorials i love it thanks for sharing
This is so nice of you I love natural lighting but unfortunely the sunlight doesnt stay up forever so I will try the unbrella lights and the ring light
So helpful, I need to go watch more of your videos! The fluorescent lighting looked the best to me in this video. Your voice is so soothing and I love the way this was done, new subscriber here :)
these tips are super helpfull because I am studying digital photography and I want to start to build a mini studio. But I wasnt really sure what was the best to start with... thank you so much!!!
Maya you are my inspiration. I would love to be just light you when I grow up. I am 15 years old and Im just now getting into Photography so this really helped, Thank you!!!
You are a gorgeous, amazing person and i hope you don't let anyone get you down you have inspired me to use your shameless motto in my life You brilliant in every single way Maya your FABULOUS!!!
The love/hate relationship with natural lighting. Living in London + shooting tutorials in "daylight" = nightmare! I needs that ring light. Soon time ;P P.s. you explained this so well and simple even for beginners!
Thank you, Maya.. I learned so much from this and your other techie videos. All your videos are beautifully done, and knowing a little about the work you put into them is awe inspiring! (P.S. Please update the entry level cameras video MUCH later in the year- around the holidays. I just watched it recently and of course thought about how it would've been great months ago for gift ideas.)
Thank you for uploading this video, only just discovered the magnificent ring light so I can use it in my Music Videos. :) Will be investing in this. x
HOLY MOLY!! Maya, I've just been binge watching your videos as research for starting my own channel and I cannot begin to tell you how helpful you've been! Thank you so so much!
voice is so calming like for real
Thank you, Maya. I learned several things and that's always cool.
good questions! i have to focus on a toy i have on a stick! then i stand where it was. OR i put the camera in photo mode and use a remote control to focus, mark where i was standing, then change the setting to video and go back! when i first started it was a pain but now i do it so fast :)

of course i'm still buzzing! live here on APRIL 24TH @3PM EST
I love you girl. First of all because you are so comfortable being you. Second you respond to comments - I don't know how you find the time but you do. Third because you share things like this with us. Some vloggers will not share this type of info. I just imagine you as a bff. Stay sweet and always do you. I wish you much success.
thanks! it was soooooo hard! i've never had to explain the complicated logic in my head!

no filter :) it is intense but you can adjust the output or the settings on your camera :)

This thing is really happening. Keep on being SHAMELESS!!!
Literally the most helpful video I've ever watched. And you weren't condescending either!
you can get them from any camera store! just google seameless backdrop
This was literally PERFECTION! I've always had a problem with lighting for my videos. Thinking about splurging on a Light source :33
you don't really need to use a reflector but when i use it I generally use it below by my chest or waist area depending on how tight the shot is
WOW! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!! Your voice is so calming btw!!!
JessaJay I totally get you!😄😂
Window lighting, the natural light from the sun is amazing when taking photos!
I'm an amateur photographer, but I have already had my taste of the natural light from the sun! ^_^

Struggled to set up my light tonight this has been super helpful! now I know where to face & how to use my umbrella lights!
I prefer shooting with natural light over anything else, but I'm finding myself in more situations where artificial light sources are needed. Concert photographer is what I like more than anything else.
