409
00:34:43,330 --> 00:34:47,250
moon walk to the site I'm not gonna move
language can point to head into the
410
00:34:47,250 --> 00:34:52,550
corner and we're gonna hit that corner
and now are light source is going to
411
00:34:52,550 --> 00:35:00,610
become that corner and let's see how it
does with him
412
00:35:00,610 --> 00:35:07,170
now we've got a little bit of side like
you can see from underneath the chin
413
00:35:07,170 --> 00:35:10,410
that there's a little bit of shadowing
going on over here but it's so diffuse
414
00:35:10,410 --> 00:35:13,780
the set off to the side is totally gone
cause we're just blessed night all over
415
00:35:13,780 --> 00:35:14,810
the room
416
00:35:14,810 --> 00:35:18,550
alright so we're gonna do air
conditioning lighting here will turn a
417
00:35:18,550 --> 00:35:23,330
little more so its plans the air
conditioner and want to see if we can
418
00:35:23,330 --> 00:35:27,610
get a little bit more side lid on him
just to see what it does I highly
419
00:35:27,610 --> 00:35:30,950
recommend getting an air conditioner in
that is color balance for your studio
420
00:35:30,950 --> 00:35:38,600
alright see outside let so the air
conditioner lighting is fantastic you
421
00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:41,570
just bounce it off there and you get a
little bit more sidelight out of it you
422
00:35:41,570 --> 00:35:45,460
can see is the side of his face gold are
can get a little more shadow pretty cool
423
00:35:45,460 --> 00:35:50,120
guys I'm having fun with this I like
what we've done so far I'm a big fan air
424
00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:55,510
conditioning lighting I want to try and
i wanna try and go we've been flattered
425
00:35:55,510 --> 00:35:59,070
and software so I wanna bouncing around
the room even more so what I'm gonna do
426
00:35:59,070 --> 00:36:03,300
is I'm gonna create a massive softbox
and I'm just gonna point this sucker
427
00:36:03,300 --> 00:36:07,940
right at the back wall actually lower
and little bit now the only thing I
428
00:36:07,940 --> 00:36:11,880
might be concerned of his flair and I
can break think we're ok like this and
429
00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:17,860
I'm gonna get a little bit of balance
off here from the from the direction I'm
430
00:36:17,860 --> 00:36:21,580
pointing it so I'm gonna get a lot of
down like the strongest bounces going to
431
00:36:21,580 --> 00:36:25,060
be right here which is over his head
when I'm gonna get filled from that back
432
00:36:25,060 --> 00:36:31,470
wall with this is really going to look
like an overcast day with light down on
433
00:36:31,470 --> 00:36:36,420
top of them and I'm probably gonna bring
in a little bit this way so we keep we
434
00:36:36,420 --> 00:36:41,620
keep our are the main light source off
to the side so we get we do you see any
435
00:36:41,620 --> 00:36:49,440
shadow be over in here let's try this
case I just love this I mean I so simple
436
00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:53,690
I mean you have to have a way room
obviously and I am getting bounced off
437
00:36:53,690 --> 00:36:57,630
the floor in the floors you know warmer
so that you might have to adjust your
438
00:36:57,630 --> 00:37:02,360
white balance obviously I've got a linen
backdrop here that's getting some
439
00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:06,670
something hit to a two so you going to
depend upon your surroundings you wanna
440
00:37:06,670 --> 00:37:10,430
much would like does when you blow
around the room like this but I'm amazed
441
00:37:10,430 --> 00:37:15,090
at how it looks like like he's outside
on an overcast day really is just super
442
00:37:15,090 --> 00:37:19,330
cool guys bouncing is a tool that we
only use as photographers that can't be
443
00:37:19,330 --> 00:37:20,370
underestimated
444
00:37:20,370 --> 00:37:23,690
I'm bouncing light on the time off
different things off the flats or
445
00:37:23,690 --> 00:37:27,610
ceilings we have the ability to shape
this light to make it look more like
446
00:37:27,610 --> 00:37:32,100
natural light into put it wherever we
wanted on him we're using it very subtly
447
00:37:32,100 --> 00:37:36,750
here and bouncing around the room and
I'm just loving the effect that we got
448
00:37:36,750 --> 00:37:40,180
here in the shop so now I'm gonna put
the light source behind him and take
449
00:37:40,180 --> 00:37:43,660
shots as if the Sun was behind the
subject which I like to do so we can try
450
00:37:43,660 --> 00:37:49,130
that
451
00:37:49,130 --> 00:37:51,620
now I've got the light behind him would
just get tickets
452
00:37:51,620 --> 00:37:55,590
he's gonna go a little bit dark but then
we're gonna bring some fill-in we've got
453
00:37:55,590 --> 00:38:00,200
some bounce off the wall Sutil will
light up slightly but let's just see
454
00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:06,390
what this looks so guys this correctly
exposed shower but it looks like he's
455
00:38:06,390 --> 00:38:10,100
outside right looks like the Sun is just
blasting them and we're over exposing
456
00:38:10,100 --> 00:38:13,470
its just abusing his head
457
00:38:13,470 --> 00:38:16,130
all right we're gonna stop down the
Camry in a darkened him up a little bit
458
00:38:16,130 --> 00:38:20,800
so we get more detail on the side of his
head
459
00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:27,930
let's go down let's go F 11 see what
that does to now we've lost faith in me
460
00:38:27,930 --> 00:38:31,090
up 16 we're gonna bring the beat flat in
and see if we can open up some of those
461
00:38:31,090 --> 00:38:41,930
shadows and then adjust properly in turn
even the south for this example I think
462
00:38:41,930 --> 00:38:47,240
it's great to see how we can feel with
some be flat and you can use reflectors
463
00:38:47,240 --> 00:38:51,770
on both sides or whatever and get them a
little bit closer to your subject and
464
00:38:51,770 --> 00:38:55,390
try something like this I have met
pigmeat flats in the studio so it's kind
465
00:38:55,390 --> 00:38:59,460
of nice to be able to fill and see if we
can get now I can lower the light which
466
00:38:59,460 --> 00:39:04,470
I can't lower the Sun the only way I can
lower the Sun is if I lower my camera
467
00:39:04,470 --> 00:39:10,260
and then I can get the Sun lower on him
by going going down or sky and it's
468
00:39:10,260 --> 00:39:14,010
dependent on what's in the background
outside in the studio we have more
469
00:39:14,010 --> 00:39:18,230
control obviously so I think this is a
great example what it would look like if
470
00:39:18,230 --> 00:39:22,090
the city was outside on a bright sunny
day in the Sun was behind him and we
471
00:39:22,090 --> 00:39:25,830
were filming from the front to simple
technique that you can use outside but
472
00:39:25,830 --> 00:39:29,780
just make sure you have assistance of
reflectors or I used buildings I use
473
00:39:29,780 --> 00:39:35,380
sides of mountains I use it depends on
your environment where you are in but if
474
00:39:35,380 --> 00:39:39,090
you're looking for a good place to shoot
I like big balls that bounce a lot of
475
00:39:39,090 --> 00:39:42,640
light on my subjects and I'll use that
outside should be looking for that it's
476
00:39:42,640 --> 00:39:46,250
rare that I recreate natural light in
the studio but if you wanna be a
477
00:39:46,250 --> 00:39:49,180
well-rounded photographer in this part
of your balancing act you get to know
478
00:39:49,180 --> 00:39:53,720
this stuff you technical in your back
pocket when you're shooting be needed if
479
00:39:53,720 --> 00:39:57,240
a client says hey can you make it look
more like mentally looks too much studio
480
00:39:57,240 --> 00:39:59,830
you have one of these techniques and
481
00:39:59,830 --> 00:40:03,850
so let's get this stuff away and we're
moving as modifiers that I use on a
482
00:40:03,850 --> 00:40:09,680
daily basis in the studio
483
00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:16,220
when you buy a light comes like this
there had nothing on it if you want to
484
00:40:16,220 --> 00:40:21,119
change or modify your was going to add
something like this to change hard light
485
00:40:21,119 --> 00:40:26,170
most of the time it's a it's a simple
reflector to soften the light we're
486
00:40:26,170 --> 00:40:30,349
gonna put something on top of the light
to soften it that it's gonna shoot
487
00:40:30,349 --> 00:40:33,720
through but for hard like we don't want
to shoot do anything we want to shoot it
488
00:40:33,720 --> 00:40:40,300
straight out and just harness it or
focus it with the simple reflector
489
00:40:40,300 --> 00:40:44,380
software I can be really forgiving on
the model and where you place it matters
490
00:40:44,380 --> 00:40:48,740
obviously but it's it's forgiving so you
know if you get it a little bit off you
491
00:40:48,740 --> 00:40:52,490
can always tweak it and you know play
with it and get away with it with
492
00:40:52,490 --> 00:40:57,319
hardline you not get away with anything
hard line is gonna give you some tequila
493
00:40:57,319 --> 00:41:03,099
shadows and some dance shadows so you
have to really watch where you place
494
00:41:03,099 --> 00:41:08,089
this hard like I shoot a lot of soft
light but it is possible to get awesome
495
00:41:08,089 --> 00:41:11,460
shots and obviously people do this all
the time with hard light and i'd like
496
00:41:11,460 --> 00:41:14,299
messing with hard like to see that's
what we're gonna do now
497
00:41:14,299 --> 00:41:19,109
hey guys do now where we're starting a
rock-and-roll we've got the inverse
498
00:41:19,109 --> 00:41:23,349
square law pin down we just figured out
what hard and soft light was we know
499
00:41:23,349 --> 00:41:25,569
that the source real close
500
00:41:25,569 --> 00:41:29,460
softens the light moving it back hardens
it so now we're gonna work on key lights
