Hi your free Trening video avelebal in India
Thanks for your very informative video. Can you tell me what power bank you are using for your strobes?
Hello Tony and Chelsea! I'm really enjoying your videos! Thank you so much for sharing so generously! I noticed that you replaced the cardboard core of your paper backdrop with a PVC pipe. Is it working for you? Do you use a 107" roll or a smaller version? I just installed the same backdrop system and the paper rolls are sagging so badly! I thought about using a conduit (metal pipe) but a PVC pipe seems to be a lot easier to install. Thanks in advance!
Two lapel mics would have helped.
Hello, can you tell me the brand of the giraffe that appears in this video at 3:10, and if you are happy with it. Thank you very much.
Hola, pueden decirme la marca de la jirafa que aparece en este video en el minuto 3:10, y si estan contentos con ella. Muchas gracias.
Hi Tony, do you have a link to the Light Diffuser/Reflector holder arm? How much does it cost? Thank you, Kind Regards
nice work thanks u might not no me but i m learning a lot from u guys thanks for posting your videos . u guys can check me out if u like https://youtu.be/ILaBWheK6XA
damn look at how the quality changed in 6 years.
when using slave mode with external flash neweer 750II, my nikon d750 doesnt' get light. the flash went off but the picture is dark like there weren't flash at all.
Hi Tony & Chelsea,
I noticed in one of your portrait/studio videos that (questionably) you were hoisting up the very heavy Einstein 640 light and PC Buff 40 inch octabox combo (by hand), which I also have, but you had your comparably light weight camera on a wind up stand. I have the cyber commander and the transceiver that plugs into the top of the Einstein 640 but, many times the cyber commander will not control the settings of the light and also will not fire the built in light meter so I am forced to manually hoist the heavy combo up and down on my c stand to manually adjust the settings on both the camera and the light as well as guess at the exposure instead of using the cyber commander's light meter. Would you please give me an idea of what wind up stand you would use in this situation if you had the same situation? By the way, I love your videos.
Thank you ,
Bruce Randall
Where can I get the light stand attachment thing for the reflector?
Please sir & madam tell me about how to get sharp focus on two or more subjects.
Hi Tony, Please review sports photos. Thx
Do you guys ever do workshops? Weekend or week long? Would love to be part of something like that.
You two are my MOST favorite tutorials! You are so down to earth, and very talented! And your wife is gorgeous! I'm a retired veteran spouse. I'm trying to start my own business to help support our family. My husband is disabled, and the videos really help understanding stressful things. Photography is so exciting and it makes me feel so happy!
Es grato ver que no tenían las condiciones técnicas como lo tienen ahora pero el corazón sigue siendo el mismo.
Love your videos but you probably already know this but I think your audio needs a little work. Just a positive constructive ?
Your video is awesome! Simple, to the point, very pertinent and intelligent. From now on, you are my "go to" youtube channel! Thanks!
Can you guys do a budget version for beginners of this video with specific models of what products you guys use?
U guys are amazing .i am a beginner photographer and I watch your videos to improve my photography.such an awsum couple 🙂
Wow, thank you. I'm in the process of setting up a studio in my home. Even though I've worked as a photographer in a studio (and a lot of other ways) this is incredibly useful to me as a reference and a reminder of things I forgot.
Thanks!
great pics of your girl and practical info in video – thanks
That picture mounted on wall, train moving, sun, and flare, excellent click!!
Chelsea what did she say? I don't think that was Northrup.
Tony, do i need to set ISO manually when i am in A mode.
How do you feel about muslin vs silk vs other backdrop materials?
Thanks, your tutorials are helpful. Do you think you can show a example of how a photo would look after introducing any given item? for example when you showed us the gold reflector. If not that's okay but i'm really new at this and it would really help to see examples.
Why have both black and white when mid grey gives the choices of both and any other colour you may want without editing. Also so much easier to use, especially than white which has a tendency to bleed or makes fly away hair (as with your daughter's photo) difficult to edit out. I know you never do anything without a good reason, and your book is easily the best I've ever read, but you've baffled me with this one.
nice sandals Tony XD
I am thrilled to have discovered you. Another excellent video. Thank you so much.
Could you use LED lights as studio lights for say product photography etc? If not, why? Thanks! Love you guys!
Awesome tips, thanks for this great video!
what size is the room?
Thanks for another great tutorial.
I have a question, If I buy a 50mm 1.8 lense for portrait photography (I have a crop sensor camera body), will it work like 85mm 1.8 in my camera?
Hi Tony,
Nice video. Will the paul C Buff "Cyber Commander" control the Profoto B1 monolight?
Thank You,
Bruce Randall
Guys, WHAT SIZE is that beauty dish?
what is the boom arm which hold the beauty dish brand and model?
Tony & Chelsea. I am looking to get a backdrop, and I notice that you use vinyl. Would you be able to give me a couple pros and cons for vinyl backdrop? Thank you. Alex
Hi Tony, What is the Max watt of you main lights?
