Truly a masterclass on lighting! Thank you very much! Congrats from Brazil!

John your setups and instruction are the most advanced technically I have ever listened to, as is your work. Big fan. Your work is smooth and are art-like without looking slick and over processed like you see commercially. Haven't seen anyone duplicate it.

Great video, you always make make we wanna get back in the studio and shoot. Stay safe!

Happy new year a John. Thank you for sharing. Great contents and valuable tips.

Great tips!

Great Video!

The king of lighting! I need a one-to-one lesson lol. Love your work and style. Thanks for sharing!....yea, i was serious about the one-to-one lesson 😁

Fantastic , your photography is sublime.

You are the very cool instructor for the flash photography 🙏

Excellent video, very useful advice! Subbed.

I'm addicted to your content.

You are a great teacher really I mean it. Super photography. Your video will changer our life. Thank You.

In one of your recent videos, you said something like, some photographers speak of light in too complicated terms, maybe from not wanting to reveal the "tricks of the trade" by making it sound more complicated than it really is. You make it sound just right, John. Common sense, free of the fluff. So many important details and life saving advice! Thank you for that! The more reason, you film, edit, prepare videos for us for free. That's gold! Great person, natural teacher you are. Thank you, John, stay safe, blessings from Croatia!

I’m revisiting your videos, John! Refreshing what I already learned is always a good thing. 😃 I hope you’re doing good! Hugs & love from CA 🤗❤️

love your videos. Done subscribed.

Always brilliantly informative and understandable for newbies to more experienced people a refresh

Great video! I defintely need to watch this video a couple of times!

Mr. GRESS you're the Best! Thanks for your giving of knowledge! What are your thoughts of using one of the 7 Feet Parabolic umbrellas with diffuser vs using a diffusion scrim??

thanks alot

Great video as always! Bravo! i can't wait for the next one! (Anyway I'we always wondered why we photographer say "Rembrandt light" if that kind of light was already used a lot of years before from painter like Raffaello, Tiziano,... ).

Hello John, thank you for this video. I loved you studio props and wonder where one get stuff like that?

great

I always love your videos. I'm extremely interested in the snoot. I know you usually shoot with Elinchrome lights. Do you know what I might use for Profoto? It's the Bowens mount that is throwing me off😉

Thank you for producing this fine work filled with practical advice. I have logged a few notes. Perhaps I should be called an internet vagrant; I come and I go... but I always return to sites like yours that offer knowledge I don't have or am not aware I am exploiting.

John! Great video. Out of curiosity what inner speed ring did you end up using on that snoot kit for your elinchroms?

Excellent video -- great summary. (maybe put a mouth de-click plugin on the audio)

Can I ask, the conical snoot that you linked includes a 50mm Yongnuo lens, can the snoot be purchased without the lens and if so can any nifty fifty be used instead? Thanks in advance, and keep the videos coming!

Are the wooden floors in your photos wooden panels you created, or are they mats with floorboard designs? The tip about making sure light hits the subject's upper eyelids is a good one. Nice and specific. I will use that instead of wasting multiple shots until the eyes "look right".

"That should be enough for today

I have a question. I'm interested in using an optical snoot. I currently have a Godox SL-150W continuous light. Is that enough power going through the optical snoot? If not, what is the wattage would you recommend in a continuous light or strobe to get good results? Thanks.

Hey John, what is the scrim holder that you use? I’ve found it difficult to find the right product online

👍

Sir Namaste🙏 I m small town photographer from India🇮🇳... Can i use single ad 200 for over power the sun in harsh light conditions...? can i use magbeam for that plz explain... Thank you.. 🙏

I called my mom, she was very pleased

What is that giant shoot-thru screen called?

When you are you rescheduling your Phoenix workshop visit? :)

👍👍👍👍👍👍🥂

Can we see a live photoshoot?

Hi John Good video but saying avoid up-lighting is wrong IMO. It depends on the goal for the photograph. Yes ok most light sources we see day to day are from above but no all are. Optical snoots eat light, you need to be putting 500ws and up through them. During my last assisted studio hire I had a 1200ws light pushing through it. ISO 200 1.160th, F5.6 and have had 3200ws on the go when assisting a commercial food photographer to obtain F10 AT iso 100.

Hey, I see lots of car commercials where lots of white tube lights under dark background they use to reflect to the surface also dark moody sports commercials where light is over the head and rest is dark... Do you think they use 5600K daylight lights? There lights seems so milky white and background is dark or black mirror sort of. . Sorry I can't post link here otherwise this comment will go on spam Search video - be the spark | puma football. Here a bald anchor is featured.. I don't know what type of lights they used... Especially the temperature

I finally found the "Pokémon Song" kid
