    Thanks for sharing. As always very informative :).

    I seriously thought that Chelsea is a very serious, rude and attitude showing person but from this video I think she is a very cool and outgoing photography who chose to pick up the camera because she loves it. Awesome.

  5. Photoextremist says

    In Fact I think the photos with sunglasses looked really good Tony, but please tell the makeup artist to do a better job , Model with her hair open, bring the emotions from her eyes, have her smile a little, model was a little to serious for such a shoot. 🙂 Overall all great job Tony & Chelsea

    A great video that I really enjoyed. The lights are very interesting and very reasonably priced, I’m looking for something I can do more still life with at home when I’m unwell. To me, what makes Chelsea and Tony work so well is it seems there’s almost photographic opposites attracting. Chelsea comes very much from the 'art' direction, her images are always organic and natural. She has shot some of the most beautiful images I’ve seen shot on YouTube, the model with the freckles springs to mind. Tony comes very much from the 'science' perspective and an attention to detail that I’ve only ever seen in people diagnosed as having Asperger’s syndrome. This attention to finite and scientific detail is amazing and a quality I’m totally envious of, it might save me a lot of time in post if I worked on it harder. It would also help me understand the technical aspects of cameras and lenses better. I’m not saying that Chelsea doesn’t have a knowledge of the science or Tony doesn’t understand the Art, there is an obvious middle ground where they overlap. What I’m saying is they make an amazing unit, and together they have amazing strengths that are hard to match as I don’t know another channel that covers such a blanket understanding of photography.

    Me being a model i can tell you at the initial shoots, a model is always nervous and confused about facing the camera … But with more professional shoots she learns and her expression improves posture improves and she faces the camera gracefully … Emily is still young… A small town girl like me… Who might have the erge to shoot but obviously lack of guidance… Miss. Chelsea is a good guide for her i see… Please dont compare Miss Chelsea with Emily as you cant compare a fruit with a bud …

  8. M7CVZ says

    So Chelsea wears the real shooting pants in the family. Nice.

  9. Charlene Bachmann says

    Model did great!

  10. Rio Siburian says

    where I can find your strip light, and what brands is that?

  11. Raul Fernandes says

    hello, big fan from portugal
    just a question
    wich was the program (tether) and the screen you guys was using ?

  12. BrucePhung says

    Tony.. Can you please tell me where can I get the same portable table with mount that you mount the 24" Dell monitor. I would appreciated you post a link here. I am very interested in buying it.

  13. Greg Haff says

    Really enjoyed this training video. But your camera was only a Canon 5D Mark 111 or so. And not a Hasselblad, with 50MP! Only $26,000. You did everything right. You made it look so easy and I thank you.
    So sell the 750BMW and get yourself the best camera you can get.

  14. Akash Kumar says

    hey i have question
    i have canon 700D. when i click images from my cam ad zoom them up those picture are not sharp and don't have fine details.
    its because of my camera or what? how can i fix it help me 🙂

  15. Jpk Channel says

    Am sorry but the sunglasses worked so fine

  16. Mark Nathan says

    Nice !

  17. Simon Bear says

    I used large collapsible backdrops like a large reflector that keep the taughtness so no sagging material

  18. Michael Bradley says

    how bright do the constant lights get? I shoot medium format, and shoot between f/16-f/22, so I need a lot of light.

  19. Matt Demke says

    I love this video, i can understand the Photoshop book has got you busy. But please make more videos like this!!!

  20. Alysuis says

  21. Yainet Diaz says

    Love the video, makes me want to get back to the modeling world. :DD

  22. Troy Hall says

    Chelsea why are the lights so bright, Tony was totally blown out!

  23. overTIMe says

    Lovely video! Aside from that, Tony what shirt are you wearing? "Crop it like it's …"? 😀

  24. Coach Mohamed El-tayeb says

    loved the video, but wanted to ask the mechanics of the how the photos are instantly moved to the pc, screen and how is everything hooked up …

  25. Chris Hastings says
