Excellent technique and delivery. Please create more content. The selection/blur of the layer mask was so simple but ingenious. So glad I found this channel.
thanks for the feedback! I plan on more "live webinar" content in the coming weeks. Please subscribe for our schedule and to view more recorded tutorials: learn.phototutorials.net
Dope techniques, I was a bit confused in the beginning because I personally felt you were just already deep in the process, but just a personal thing idk if anyone else felt that way🤷🏽🤷🏽.

I noticed with this and your Shooting Spaces tutorial I purchased, you like using an umbrella with your flash. Do you ever use a beauty dish of soft box and when? Love your work.
Alan, thank you so much for watching my videos! I employ all of the above as it pertains to my light modifiers. Most of the time when I am working with an assistant and he is hand-holding the light, we use a small 2 foot soft box for detailed light accents. If I am shooting in a space by myself, I find it simpler and more efficient just to open up an umbrella. Typically, I am using a deep, soft silver or white typically around 40 or 50 inches. I also enjoy using a simple reflector for more specular highlights and harder shadows. I suggest to experiment with whatever works best for you. The quality of light between a soft box and a umbrella, especially when masking, can be very similar. It really depends on the subject matter and the proximity of the subject matter to the light source.
When comparing your ambient to flash shot with the umbrella hitting the table, did you leave the flash settings on camera the same as ambient or did you increase the shutter speed? If so, by how much? 1 stop, 2 stops?
it is typically safe to increase shutter speed significantly for your strobe layers. I would recommend doing this if for nothing else but to assure that you are controlling color temperature and that your strobe layers have a consistent white balance in the event that your ambient light doesn't match the color of your strobes. So... as a general rule, your shutter speeds can be around 1/30 or even as fast as 1/200th of a second (or more) if you do not have window views to balance, and if you are wanting to overpower your ambient lighting. that said, if is a good rule to have a sense of your white balance settings for ambient and in this way, you can "gel" your strobes to either match them, or to use your lighting creatively in the event you want to all highlights which are warmer for example (or project a sunbeam, or a firelight glow). Many ways to achieve all of the above looks, but it is safe to use the technique of a faster shutter speed when employing strobe frames.
In regards to the back wall, isn't it a bit unmotivated? For that light to rake across, the right side of the wall would have to be flat instead of the edge jutting-out toward camera, and there would literally need to be a window directly to its right, no?
