    I just watched this video and I think some of the previous commenters have missed the point. It's not about finding the correct exposure. If I understand correctly, it's about finding the optimum transition from highlight to mid-tone, and from mid-tone to shadow, and the amount of area that each of these light levels cover on the models face. a very subtle and specific topic. Thank you! Newly subscribed!

    Hi Julia. Awesome work. I follow you on Instagram and you continually blow me away. In regards to this video, what size beauty dish would you recommend for this type of work, and what colour dish? Silver or white, diffused/not diffused? Thanks. Keith.

    Hi Julia,
    I am so happy to find you on YouTube! I have read articles that you have written on Google and just purchased the 100mm 2.8 Canon lens USM. I will be playing around with it to try to master it as best as I can, though shooting is just a hobby for me. Thanks for inspiring and I have just subscribed 🙂

    You are literally the only lady-photographer I know, who actually understands and uses lights. All the rest so called "popular" youtube and instagram girls-photographers have no idea about anything, except lightroom software. Nice videos. Subscribed!

  15. Very helpful video 😉

    You are my role model Julia. I just want to be as good as you some day.

    Great tutorial.. you mention "take a few testshots" and try to find the power setting for correct exposure. This is where your incident lightmeter should come in. No chimping on the camera LCD. Off course if you don't do this often enough and just want to try it a couple of times you don't need to make the investment, but if you do it often enough.. the light meter is your "measuring tape" for light 🙂

    such a great job! спасибо

  19. D Hinez Media says

    Thank you for explaining this! Very well done

    But doesn't your exposure setting contributes so much with the highlights and not just the light? Whether the light is near or 7 feet away the exposure is still the key?

  21. Dror Hadad says

    That was amaizing…
    Tomorrow I take a few models in the studio and I 'll try your tutorial
    I will respond again and tell you how it was 🙂
