- Stop putting the light in the wrong place. I see images all the time and I'm thinking, “Why don't they understand where to set the key light?” It's not a difficult thing if you understand it. We're going to talk about it today. When you put the light in the right place it looks fantastic. See how we used one speedlight to light these portraits. Take a look and let us know if you have any questions!

I just cannot see your lighting tips often enough- I turn the camera on, my brain turns off! 🤣 Thank you for continuing to present this information; it really helps. Cheers to you! Cheers to Ali!
PS: Very happy with my 3 Tamron lenses on my Sony a7IV!
Great to hear. Glad you are learning some good stuff!
Thank you for another great tutorial.
GOD bless you.
You are very welcome. Thanks for your comment!
As with so many subjects, you want the light to travel across your subject (in an artistically pleasing way) to get the best pictures. Renaissance painters did the exact same thing. Formula worked then, as it does now and will continue to work.
Great point. Thanks for your comment!
I have watched it twice already. So useful. Thanks.
Great to hear. Glad you found it worthwhile!
Dude...
California has such beautiful sunlight! 😍
We are blessed with nice sunny days!

Thank you 😊 . Very helpful .
You're welcome 😊. Glad you found it helpful!
This is great, easy and practical. Only time I would stray from this is when my subject is a lady which isn't young and wouldn't like to show her wrinkles. Broad light may be more flattering in that situation, imo.
Great demo & so important in a photo & film shoots! 😎😎
Glad you liked it and found it worthwhile!

Watching second video.. Subscribe ❤️
Great video but godox flash is just as good without cost an arm and leg. Westcott pays you well.
Godox is nice, but Westcott is sturdier and will last longer.
A huge issue that I come across all the time is my models turning away from the light. Yes I move it when I can. But they like to move even after I do. And yes I instruct them not to. Drives me crazy sometimes! Hard to move lights too when using more than one. Best case scenario is the model who actually listens. But definitely easier said than done. Lol.
It helps if you talent is seated to keep them looking in the right direction.
Butterfly lighting allows the model to move around the most without having to reset your lights.
I do not know why you keep turning female body towards the light....rule of thumb is : female body away from light face towards it....i commentednon the same issue in another video you did not answee...here the same mistake...teach them proper positions. Teach them right.
You don’t need to turn the body into the light, just the head. By not turning the body you are losing the curve that makes females attractive. If you can just turn her head, pose her legs better than flat footed, it would be much nicer. I think you have the right idea but this is just a little bit off for my taste in posing.
Very socially responsible of you to use a plus size model for a change. Thank you.
Lol I would not say she is + Size, muscular, yes but not obese. Plus size/obese models are unattractive and unhealthy - what's so "Socially responsible" about that?
Plus sized??!! 😂😂😂
She was great to work with and athletic.
And very photogenic!
