In this video I decided to break out some of the images I’ve been working on over the past few weeks and dissect the thought process behind creating them. There are discussions including the BTS setups and the flash positions used for creating more complex shots. The majority of the discussion is on the thought process behind capturing images, discussing how I use the story or mission of the photograph to guide my selection of colors, modifiers, backgrounds, and equipment. I hope that this can be useful on multiple layers for those capturing their own projects.
Keep making these BTS videos. They are really helpful
Thank u. Very helpful.
Do you have a pre amp for your mic? Because it sounds like it is being under-powered causing it to hiss. That mic should be crystal clear with nice bass tones and background separation. Might wanna take a look at that.
This was great. So much more interesting and helpful than gear reviews. Cheers.
Great images!
Thanks for this video. Your trails and mentality for these types of photos really help put things into perspective and get us thinking about how to approach a similar situation or even one where you don’t have too much time to set up and make adjustments.
This is awesome. Please make more of these ❤️
Great video as always
Love these kind of video! Please make more
Good Video!
Great job! Thanks! Yeah, the not-so-bright very center of the circle cast by the Impact Fresnel lens is a "feature" of that lens — regardless of the strobe (or hot light) it's used with. Keep up the great work!
Great video Robert. I feel this type of discussion really helps me. I've just started with lights and while I can usually guess the setup by studying a photo, hearing your rational for the choice of lighting was great. Well done!
Nice BTS video!
Hey there’s is a annoying hiss when u turn up the volume
This was incredibly helpful. Thank you.
Excellent video, Robert! Another vote for more of these. BTS videos are hugely valuable. But, don't forget to update us about the status of the Godox round headed Profoto-like flash.
I always love your videos!!
Hey Robert, you may want to check the Impact Fresnel head against a seamless since the beauty dish covered up the upper edge in this BTS vid. But I think what you are seeing is the AD600Pro flash tube, horseshoe shape. I wonder is another piece of diffusion on the front of the flash dome would fix this?
Nice video. As much info as possible on the lightning setup would help us. Distance to subject, height of the lights, and angle offset from you as well as vertically. Thanks Robert.
Great video. Really makes me think about how to use gels. The early part where you put a CTB on the key in order to make the orange stand out by choice of WB was a wakeup for me. More like these please.
Its so helpfull plz make more videos like this
Nice breakdown. Thanks.
