A initially learned photography as a kid shooting black & white then developing the photos in a dark room, that was a magical time and sparked my interest in photography. As I got older I dabbled in digital photography but wasn't until my kids were born that i really started to get an active interest back in it all.
I recommend that you either slow down your talking and be less animated or rehearse what you're going to say rather than reading your lines that you have placed in front of you. It was just all too much. I couldn't focus on what was said.
I agree with James below. You need to re think your videos. Get on and do something. Show us settings / composition / samples. Anyone can stand in front of a set of lights and talk. I could stand in front of a Ferrari and tell people I'm a qualified Ferarri mechanic.
Good informative video and I prefer the blonde hair. I use strobes, continuous lights and Speedlites. For my continuous lights. I have a set with incandescent bulbs but I can switch them out for LED bulbs, which I prefer to use as I can choose the type of light and they don't get hot like the incandescents do.
I use a variety of lights to get the effect that I'm going for. I have two speed lights, four strobes, and two continuous lights. I use flashlights, halogen work lights, LED flashlights, and I even have a few strings of Christmas lights. You never know what you'll need to get the shot you're looking for! 🙂 (Notice I stayed away from using name brands of my lights. It doesn't matter who made them, and I'm not here to be a "gear snob" like some in the field tend to be.)
Strobes are definitely the way to go if you intend to use them frequently, (especially in a static location) however if you do tend to photograph in different locations, then it's definitely worth considering the latest Yongnuo 560III with the Tx transmitter, for well under £200($300) you can have 3 quite powerful lights all controlled remotely from your camera. For the greatest output, use a softbox or umbrella softbox, this will give you 1 or 2 stops more output than a shoot through umbrella, but for the little that they cost, it's always worth having a selection of umbrellas too.

i'm sorry. but if you would demonstrate what you talk about half the time you would probably get more viewers to watch your videos. But as I can see you only need an audio track each time you have something to say. Don't be offended but I think most people like to see whats going on or they would simply turn on a radio.
At the moment I use two yn-560s. I eventually want to purchase a couple Sony hvl-58s. They have more flash power. I chose speedlites because of their ability to be taken anywhere. I have used them on location as well as in a room. I can always find a way to mount them. Even with Velcro. Lol. But I one day want to have an alienbees or even an Einstein with a batter set up.
4 vivitar 283s with ac adap and vari power modules. 2 per light. also added small modeling light. Peter Gowland called it poster lighting 40 years ago.Still using them after 7 years in storage,
Your channel gets better and better. I use to use the Bowens Mono Bronze, Silver and Gold and they were excellent. That was back in the mid 1980's to late 1990's Thanks for sharing
Do you ever mix speedlites with studio strobes? In this case, how do you trigger them? I'm trying to use an adorama Flashpoint strobe as a key light with Nikon SB800s for fill and background lights and control the speedlites using the SU800. Speedlites are on manual with power controlled remotely by the SU800. I can't get the studio strobe to sync with the speedlites.
A very informative video! I hadn't considered the pros and cons of strobes before, so I liked all that you had to say about them.
I personally use softboxes, but that's because I shoot video in addition to photographs. For my needs as an amateur, I can't spend my money on strobes yet, but I can now better consider my choices in the future.

You look like the twin sister of Jim Caviezel

What is the brand of the umbrellas??
I'm using two strobes for portraits, and a backdrop(gray) i'm getting shadowing or ghosting in the image, what am I doing wrong?
where's the image from the thumbnail?
awesome explanation, especially regarding the treatment of the modelling light.

I didn't learn much from your video.

It was hard for me to concentrate on the subject coz she is out of FOCUS!
