    Where do you live? I couldn't understand and I'm really wondering 😛

  2. Ben Garcia says

    Watching from Dubai you’re amazing

  3. Ben Garcia says

    🔥🔥🔥🔥

  4. Philip says

    didn't you feel awkward while filming this? (you had to set a camera, capture a footage, then change the camera angle, and take another footage) TIRED?

  5. Johnallyn de los Santos says

    I love the intro.

  6. Marce Mania says

    Wow, man, you're the best!! A great job, fantastic video and very motivational for me. Thanks a lot!!

  7. wmsproductions says

    great video

  8. Mark Harris says

    Great video, with your requirements really well explained. The only thing I have of Falcon Eyes is those brilliant boom weights they do.

  9. Mel Harhar says

    Is there room in your budget for a darker sharpie?

    Jk. Good video. 😉

    The $20 Home Depot light has power and temperature control – just swap light bulbs

  11. manoj mohan says

    Love the way you explained about shadows

  12. T Poz says

  13. MATTIA CALLIAN says

    Omg the quality of these videos

  14. deepu panicker says

    Great video, tones to learn thanks

  15. David Senteno says

    Greetings fellow Californian. Just discovered your channel and had to subscribe. I live in the Central Valley and just went full time photography so any tutorials are my friend. Thanks for the hard work and information. 🐼👍

  16. Drawing With Emil says

    So, where is the budget friendly constant light?

  17. Ben Wescott says

    I thought they were pancakes

  18. Dan The Man says

    Hmm, I don’t understand your use case. The purpose of this light is to have quick and portable access to soft light. If you are going to setup a modifier in between this light and the subject, you would be far better served by having a more powerful light than this one.

  19. Jeff Jean says

    Great channel. Your like the Peter McKinnon of food Photography.

  20. Quendi says

    This is an excellent video, as always… Just a "tip", i see in links below your video a little mistake: Amazon.de (and all .de websites) is for Germany (Deutschland), not Denmark (.dk)

  21. Craig Bertram says

    Loved this video thank you. I’ve just started to get into photography I’m a master chef by trade but I also collect edc gear ( every day carry ) such as pocket knives, Swiss Army knives , pens etc. List goes on. I started my Instagram page last January I only use an iPhone XS Max right now wanting to get my first dslr this year. Your videos are amazing I’ve watched like 20 back to back. They are helping me out a bunch. As I use odd bits of food and treats in my edc shots. But I definitely need to up my game. Clearly I suck right now. But videos like this help me out a bunch. Regards Craig

  22. Emmanuel Vauras says

  26. watashiwajae says

  29. Thank you for this video, best review I have seen with a transparent opinion and not 20% content and 80% product or sponsor. It was smooth through the video and comes with a tutorial and a Q&A. Amazing scripting, great job !

  30. Info Tech Tools says

    Mobile photography

  31. Daniel Bacon says

    I really enjoyed your production value you do a great job period of one question now when you're showing the light and then it be put the diffuser in front of it at that point couldn't any light have been used without division panel of the same result? Because at that point the diffusion panels really become the light source, or am I thinking about that incorrectly?

  32. Abdulrheman Qureshi says

    We want Phone photography – mobile photography.

  33. Ej Cabaltera says

    i really like that line light on the wall where did you get that? =D

  34. Matthew Fox says

  35. Daniele Bovo says

  36. TheGameOfBIKE says

  37. Mach Deck says

    What Manfrotto do you have there?

  38. Jason Brown says

    Just found your channel and straight up as a aspiring food photographer I am already locked in and subscribed. Very amazing video production and stunning shots.

    I will be watching for tips often.

  39. Windy Diamond says

    Great video. And yes please make a video using an iPhone camera. I recently saw an amazing YouTube video comparing an a movie created with an iPhone 7 vs a low budget $50,000 cinematic video camera…and the result was stunning. Wondering how close you can get to the results produced with an iPhone vs a high end camera. If you haven't seen the video. Here's link. I think you'll agree that the result is very inspiring for budget tech users. https://youtu.be/ztpX3AO1UtU

    I still have not understood what the difference is between making sure the scene is well lit and using a very low shutter speed while the scene is rather dark making shadows softer. Provided of course the scene has only still objects. Why do I need such a strong light source?

  41. Jey S says

    Congrats high quality video …. great presentation …..

  42. Mirza Hassan says

    Hi it’s really good. if I want to buy this flapjack light how much will be the cost of light?

  43. Martin Ma says

    Hello, if you see this comment, i'd like to help you boost up the # of views.
    Suggestions
    1. make less than 5 mins videos and longer versions separetly for those who are interested to explore more.
    2. Neat title is important such as "lens for food photography" in one of your videos.
    3. Dynamic topics allow to expose yourself. Beginers are likely to watch videos to learn compare to professionals learn at school.
    4. Make tutorials for simple stuff that does not require any gear. Most viewers on Youtube does not have a studio or have money to spend on purchasing.
    5. Make fancy videos like this one as a showcase. It shows quickly in a minute to grab people's attention. Like a advertisement for yourself. If viewers want to know how it was done, another tutorial can be made. I believe you are busy and does not have that much time to make fancy videos.
    Positives
    Great presentation with eye contact, hand gestures, fluent talk, and native english.
    Very creative and great presentation overall.

  44. Sebastian Ruiz says

    Your sound is also ON POINT, just subscribed, what type of mic do you use? do you record with a sound device or straight out of camera?

  45. ACID SNOW says

    man this is so impressive!
    thanks for sharing all this beautiful content with us!
    really enjoyed watching this

  46. Shane Scott says

    Great video and information. The light is nice but I think it is expensive for what it is. There are many options at that price point or below. Is there something that particular light will do that others won't? Is the round shape a benefit?
