    Been there, done that, and presented it to the camera club on several occasions.
    Going back to basics is important even for those who have experience.
    Thank you and well done as usual.

    I think you have made a mistake> A light over the top and a light undeneath is not called the butterfly light its called the clam . the light that comes from left and right side is the butterfly light style. As in nature a clam is top and bottom do you ever see one on its side, now the butterfly style is when the butterfly has its wings cloesd one on the left and one on the right . sorry to bring this up but your videos on youtube are one of the best that i follow and its not like you to make a simple mistake.

  28. Matthew Ruddleston says

    Is the soft box the only light source you're using or is there natural or overhead light present?

  29. sascha perlinger says

    i really enjoyed this video! thanks a lot! great teacher!

  30. firecaptbob says

    although I enjoyed taking pictures I've never really gotten into portrait. It kind of scared me. The little lighting demonstration, certainly made inroads into my desire to try a few portraits. I wish I had a copy of video I probably watch it over and over. We'll give it my best shot, Bob Quaranta, Long Island New York

  31. Baba Aziz says

    Well done. I don't use lighting out of ignorance. But this video really got me rethinking. Learned a bunch. Excellent ideas, but more than that, excellent teaching style. Many thanks.

  32. tom jens says

    how do you actually fill it? Because in most instances you demonstrated, that filling plate would invade the shot (it must be much further away than you demonstrated in many cases). Ps: what is used as a fller? Simple paper?
