Great video, Lindsay. All these thoughts just to get a glimpse of the personality of the person within the frame are wonderful to watch. The lady looks very relaxed and that makes her even more attractive. A sign for a positive atmosphere on set, I guess. For me the most important aspect of getting good results. Greetings from Nuremberg, Germany.
Being an event photographer that covers theatre opening night events this video really hits the mark for me. Many of those in attendance on opening night and after party tend to be the theatre’s top patrons and are often older and wrinkles are prevalent. Thanks as always for an excellent tutorial.
wow. This is the best demo of contrast that i have seen. through trial and error i kinda figured it out by myself. This is good for the new people that dont understand it yet.
Awesome and inspiring as usual! I was exactly thinking about portraying my mum and dad (77 and 82) in a flattering way and your tips always come in VERY useful! Thanks so much Lindsay!❤
Never went to a formal photo school but I would talk to a lot of old photographers over the years. One rule of thumb was that the younger the subject the harder the light, the older the subject the softer the light for that very reason of skin texture. This holds true for men as well as women. Not all old steel workers want to look like a grizzled Ernest Hemingway. The psychology behind photographing people, as told to me by the old pros was that young people want to look like fashion models, and older people just want to look young.
great stuff and I have worked in the same ways with these approaches and I enjoy using bounce cards and reflectors - however it got me thinking and I was wondering about the idea of a large fill light from camera position such as a 5ft translucent umbrella that is straight on to subject - is that something you might recommend or can it make things too flat
Great video as always. I'm always learning from you. I'm thankful you covered this topic as most of us are not dealing with 20 year old gorgeous gals with flawless skin. (Not being negative, but being real). 😊
Too bad I missed this video. I took an older classmate's portrait and had two soft boxes on each side, but higher, so I think I might have emphasized the texture/wrinkles. I also should have had a fill light for the neck. Oops, watching further I see I should have used a reflector! Well, I need to use that more all the time :)
Brilliant as usual. BUT. Annoying as hell, cuz now I need to go and get me one of them 3 foot octas, for Broncolor the most overpriced.... The use and utilization of white flats, seamless, walls and ceilings can never be over emphasized. Proof is in the pudding. Love our videos. My Bookkeeper does not. ❤😈 🤗 ~TEU
And you only just saw 1/1000th of the talent that Lindsay has. Such a star.
I see Lindsay - I click and I LEARN 💯💯
Every. Single. Time.
Another invaluable tutorial from one of the very best in the field. Thank you!

Simply awesome. This one needs a partner vid. "how to make the old man look weathered by the storm"
Brilliant as usual! Love the last photos of Karen, something special. Thank you for sharing.

Incredible work for this setup, lovely images at the end. Congratulations!
Thank you for sharing with us your knowledge!
Great information, I've also found, as an older woman myself, when I shoot in my demographic, we all look better when we're smiling.
I mean, smiling is just beautiful regardless!
Dear Lindsay, thanks for this very instructive video. Really well explained.
Jaw dropping, thank you. The final photos are very nice

And don’t forget circular polarizer to help with not just wrinkles, but also smooth/dewiness.

Proof that beauty has no “shelf life “
Bs. That’s perceptual.
