this book and video content is excellent!
Great video!
Great , Cool,-thanks !!!
Sooo… soft light for the face… but HARD light for a deeply textured costume or jewelry…
Ssssh… don’t tell Tony but that IS Chelsea actually punking him… he cuts off the end where she shout “Booo!”
Joe Whats-his-face says that inverse law says that the closer the light the harder the shadows…..Im confused
Super helpful!
gr8 🙂
what is the size of that octobox
Man your an excellent teacher!
Chelsea's looking a little stiff?
Excellent explanation. Can I use a diffuser in a low light event?
very useful and helpful thank you
Hello can you link me to a light to start off with? Maybe 2 light set and or KITs??? Please things needed?
where are the dogs
your model looks distressed and confused
always great content and superb delivery. thank you so much!
As a novice I learnt so much from this
Dont lie. Chelsea is mad at you lol
I love the way you explain 😍
Goddamn this is the video I needed. Super helpful, much thanks!
This was a bit creepy
DOPE!
I made a little DIY diffuser that works really well for photography and light painting etc. I’d appreciate you guys checking it out!

Thanks for your knowledge sharing about lighting 🙂
Thanks!!
I want to take great pictures of myself
So if I'm trying to get the most variety of light possibilities For the most bang for my buck so to say. Should I buy a bulb light stand(idk the correct terminology) and buy some diffusers and reflectors instead of the Octobox light?
Its unclear for me what makes light soft. Multiple directions of light or a bigger size of a light source?
Such simple explanations…love them !
One of the best explanation.. actually the best .. thank u very much😊 #respect ✌️✌️
She looks horrified, paralyzed even
Thank you for posting this video..
