4 Studio Glamour Lighting Setups Mini-Tutorial | Nino Batista

great video my dude. just found you and i love how clear and precise you explain anything while showing examples of why and how etc. a lot of these people who do tutorial don't tell you why they are doing things just how so this was a breath of fresh air. gained a sub from me for sure.

Beautiful Greek model 😉

#hawwwdude shooting landscapes all the time can get boring, I just found a new path!!!

Great video, very informative! Thank you. And Ps. editor should of added an extra second of blur to one of the photos ^^

thanks for sharing ,,great tips and great work

Your deliverables are extremely boring.
You better give up the work of a photo.

I like when he says, "When you shoot something like this" and the strobes dont fire so we get the image added from the left. lol There were quite a few times he took a pic and the strobes didnt fire too.

Thank you this will help me to do my set up in our venue

i am a simple man. 🙁

What camera gear are you using?

I was just thinking today that nobody does full tutorials on YouTube anymore. I miss videos like this that share real value.

Thank you and only an artist can have a name like that. Awesome!!

What is the purpose of the photos?

wow fantastic!!!! tks!

wish my wife let me shoot models 🙁

Would have been good to see you use a light meter to show how to balance a shot more technically. Second, it would be interesting if you discussed the impact of aperture on the color/brightness of the background..

your a flipping legend. loved it. Have been watching alot of photography tutorials and so far best video ever . Thank you

Thumbnail killing me…lovely video

Hola me gustaría en español o con subtítulos OK

Open hole anal please

Thanks for the informative video

I went into this video with little to no expectation but I found it was quite good. Studio lighting is one of my favorite topics and I think you did a great job!

she seems to have very shiny nose in all of the shots

I swear I came here to watch the lightning setups

Very nice tutorial. I have been shooting full-length portraiture and fashion for a while as a hobby and working with amateurs where I had to give posing instructions was always the hardest part when starting out. I had a high-end dress store at the time, in the film days so to learn lighting I set up full body mannequins so I could play with lighting and modifiers with no time limits until I was comfortable creating lighting schemes on the fly based on conditions, space, ambient etc before working with live models. It was important I believe, to try all the bad options and see then as such to really learn how to improvise. Starting with live amateur models, however, proved much harder so I eventually hired a skilled pro and told her even before hiring her that I was an amateur and would ask her to show me how to work with a model. She was very helpful, I learned more about their craft and how to communicate. I suggest even amateur fashion, glamour or commercial photographers should invest in a few very skilled models after they master creative lighting because you will learn more from a skilled model in less time, before working with amateurs. One of the things learned is flow and pace, be decisive have a vision but be flexible with different looks become available. Learn to communicate with your models because it is a partnership in the creative process and don't be fiddling with lighting and setups, it kills the mood and pace….be very familiar with all the lighting and equipment so your experiments are based on being very familiar with the range of application of the hardware before the session.
Have a plan, and articulate the vision to the model and assistant, MUA etc so everyone is on the same page and be open to their ideas. Starting with pros for makeup and models will teach you so much that is transferable to anything you do later and with amateurs. Even just two sessions with a pro model who has agreed from the start to help you learn how to work with models will be move available than going to a school.
I was lucky in finding my first pro model, she made the session flow, she knew enough photography to understand which lens created which point of view and offered a steady stream of "looks" from the camera's point of view, flowing from one pose to the next with a balanced still wait, before gliding into the next. She was always aware of how it looked to the camera. With amateurs, that is the job of the photographer, to communicate those details and be quick since an amateur will not be able to hold a pose unless very simple. Don't pick models by looks, but by skill. A pretty amateur will be harder to get the intended shots than a talented pro with less objective beauty. Hire a good makeup artist who is used to working photographic sessions. They know what Xeon light does to street cosmetics, it is different most photographers seem to realize. Use those pros to build your book so you can attract others of similar skills.
AFTER these learning sessions you would be more likely to be able to effectively get the desired images with less skilled or beginning models. Don't copy lighting setups from tutorials, every set up is a response to the conditions at hand and intent, so use the tutorials as a concept plan, but adapt it on the fly to the space, ambient, lights, color casts, modifiers and model, because none of these elements will be the same in your real session as the tutorial. Look at good photos and visualize where the light is coming from, its relative source size/distance, and color, any shadow directions, any highlights,any apparent ratios to get used to visualizing what an image with look like with any setups and power ratios you have….take a shot and note why it is different than expected. That is when you learn the most about light…..the difference between what you expected and what you get. After a while, it will become more predictable so results closely resemble the intent. I am sure it took Nino a lot of fine tuning of visualization-to-results practice before it became second nature ad it will require a lot of fine tuning on your part also. Good photographers make is look so easy, but it is rare for anyone to have such a close connection between intent and results without a LOT of practice and fine tuning of their craft.
