    For golden hour, I would prefer a quarter strength CTO gel on the flash. Any time the lighting angle is replicating a setting sun, use the CTO 1/4, just a bit warmer.

    like your work and information, wish there were more understanding of wording

    Because I also have to be at a faster shutter speed because I’m not freezing the action. 29:30 I thought it was the exact opposite that if you want to freeze action you have to be at a faster speed

    Today everyone has a camera , of course , but its so hard to find great work , harder then ever.

    How can the family formal photo shot with extra light look better than a natural light ? It made them all look sweaty and shiny in my opinion.

    ur pictures are very good

    Another solid tutorial. This is one of those problems that I've run into a lot with photography and haven't quite figured out how to adjust in video, so thanks! Even footage shot during golden hour can benefit from these adjustments to help normalize the colors. Cheers!

  11. Incredible how many other photographers are way better than she is, and her work is not above average, and they produce better work than hers yet use cheaper light equipment, lost count how many times she and other speakers said "profoto" seriously as if you could only create better images than her with lets say godox light, the whole thing is a huge add for profoto…

    Wonder why she switched to canon from Nikon.

  13. Klaa FerNandez says

    I learned a lot. Thank you!

    Thanks for the video…. Very well presented…

  15. Mountain Rat says

    Hoe many times is she going to pronounce scenario wrong…? Everything else was on point!

  16. lalotz says

    It sounds like she wants to keep her jobs so why will she tells us anything unique?

    wasted 15 min on this video.. stopped after 14 mins when i saw the image with iso 2500

    People would always get a special recept, I think the special is it to make it seample as you can. The resuld speaks for her. I think if you know what are you do, than one light more than enough, if you do not know what are you doing… no light would you help. Thanks for sharing your workflow.

    I agree with Maxim Dupliy, Although I do agree with her natural light argument.
