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..
