Really, really, you are one of the best on you tube to teach lighting. Thank you for your advices.

I would´ve never thought on placing the light source below the table, pointing upwards, as a lighting step up. Mind blown, sir!

reminded and humbled me that the white umbrella is the OG modifier and when used CORRECTLY it will produce the result of beautiful soft light . I had to subscribe after this .

My mind exploded when you said lowering shutter speed only affects the window light.

I don't want this to sound cheesy but.. you are truly amazing. I mean, I'm blown away by how much I can learn in just 8mins from you. And how easy you make it seem. I mean, it makes so much sense how you explain it, and it's incredible how perfectly you reproduce natural light. Your videos are educational and addictive the same time :) thank you for everything!

the best lighting guru in youtube. thanks a lot

love your videos! it covers a lot details about how to use flash and diffusers that I don't know in the past time!

Really enjoying your videos. I like the calm explanations. Very easy to watch. Just need to stop binge watching and start actually taking some photo’s 😁

Thank you for sharing. M in a slump n ur videos are really inspiring me

Thanks for this. More practice time indeed with the kit we already have. I use to think i needed expensive light source. Thanks again.

Great video. I'm a beginner with a sppedlight flash (no TTL) and that's the only resource that i have for the moment. Your video is pure gold. Thanks a lot!

Thank you for the video! I'm just starting out and know next to nothing. Your video is packed with useful information and it's so very much appreciated!

Omg, thanks so much for the explanation. My wife has been struggling as a food photographer as she's very accustom with natural light but finds it hard to nail the flash light even with umbrella and diffuser. But after watching your video and understand better how the fundamental works it has totally change the result to be very close even almost identical to natural light.

Your method with ambient and flash light combination is great. Gives just a freedom to create! Thanks for this video! Again :)

just randomly discovered your channel. I've learnt so much already! These videos have a great vibe

This video is gold

Wonderfully demonstrated balancing of flash and ambient exposure. A lot of people struggle with the concept! Now I can just direct them to this video! Thanks for sharing, appreciate it.

Priceless

I always had questions about Flash and haven't found a good video explaining. This was very helpful. Thank you.

My man study light literally! Love your content man❤

I just buy one flash and end up learning from this video. Thank you My flash is Godox TT520ii, it's cheap but good, it have a build in wireless (receiver) and a simple trigger.

Definitely what I’ve been lookin for! Thank youuu!!!

So professional ! Best KZfaq ever to teach about lightening.

Man i learned from your video, that i was lacking. You have knack for teaching others. Great video, so, subscribed.

Wow your way of explaining is so informative. Thanks. I think you are best.

This was very useful! Especially for someone new to flash

Nice, awesome ideas..! Many thanks from Jakarta.

I like the material, it's easier to understand

I never really understood the real science behind lighting, this video explains it very well. Thanks for such content! Subscribed!

Dude I have a easter egg shooting in a couple of days..you just made it easier 🙏🏻 thanks

I dont know why, but for me, your voice is really comforting and really easy to listen to, so it is easier for me to understand everything, well, english is not my first language tho. Btw, really really nice video, notification is on for me.

Your videos are truly amazing. I love the way you speak because even for people who don't speak english so well, it's really understandable. Thank you so much for that. I got a question, is you kit great if it's total darkness in the room ? Because you always use also the light from outside ? I don't have a lot pf natural light in my house. Thank you so so much for everythig. You make us better photographer ;) Xxx from France

Hello from Australia. I have discovered your channel by coincidence as I have started doing food photography during the lockdown. Keep up the good work 👏👍👍👍

Thank you so much for this again.

Thanks! I use this configuration when I shoot in restaurants!

U are one of the best ! Thank u so much !

this video is soooo! well made!

Wow, I am learning so much about light with you. You make great videos, thanks a lot!

Amazing, concise and very useful video. Congratulations on how well you make these practical examples. I was looking for what could be a minimal set-up and this seems perfect!

For those of us who have a minuscule amount of photography equipment we usually still have some extra umbrellas. What’s nice to remember is these umbrellas can be added to a lighting setup as reflectors, diffuser, and flags.

Love your videos brandon!!. Probably the easiest video to learn about lighting!

A really good video with explanations everyone could understand. I just started with food photography and made similar experiences. So thanks a lot. And your voice is really convenient to hear for your guests! Greetings from south palatine at germany.

I bought a kit like that a time ago. I use a Manfrotto small trípode like yours with a speedlight to godox adapter and a 120cm octa-umbrella. All these things fit in a elinchrom stand bag and i can go with my lightning setup in My bike!!

This is beyond valuable. Thank you.

Love the way you went into detail about the set up. Thank you very helpful...

Hey! I know you're a food photographer, but I find you're a really reliable and knowledgeable photography teacher in general (and I'm studying photography in college right now). Could you maybe create a video sometime about affordable lighting kits? Your one video 'What to look for in a continuous light' was so helpful to me already, but it looks like you often use battery-powered strobes for your work and I think that's the type of gear I would want as well. I'm more of a portrait photographer myself, so knowing which kit or what kind of equipment is most ideal (& minimal) for artists (& students) pursuing different avenues of photography would be SO cool and appreciated! This minimalist kit wouldn't be the best solution for portrait photography, so if you're open to this 'lighting & minimal gear' subject on a much broader scale, I'd love to learn more from you and hear what you have to say. Cheers!

You're the best bro

This is awesome!

I really really (can i say it once again?) REALLY love your channel, you're so talented, the way you explain is perfect, what you perceive through your eyes (like the "morning light") man... that's amazing, i admire you A LOT. (sorry for bad english)

And another very informative video. Thank you for sharing your skills! 👏

You are so light smart. Thank you for making such helpful videos

I really love the way you explain. I hope you keep doing this more.❤️❤️

Great techniques that I'll definitely try… since South Africa just started a 21 day lockdown.

Best lighting video ever seen👍

Just found your channel. Love the style and explanations. Can’t wait to try this. Thank you.

Thank you for this wonderful video. I always felt that you can totally pare down your kit to achieve amazing photos and you have totally proved my point! Love this 😊

Really love this minimal set up!

Need to get me some peppers!!! Kidding aside, I love this tutorial!

Very patiently and well explained in a very simple way...

Nice tips ✨👌🏼

Great video! Thanks

வீடியோ மிகவும் பயனுள்ளதாக இருந்தது மிக்க நன்றி 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 இரா.மனோகர் சென்னை . Very useful this video sir big thank you 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 R.MANOHAR Chennai.

Awesome 🤩

Thank you very much! You are amazing and very inspiring!

I may want to try it with my parabolic softboxes with a diffuser in front of it. I could try to create the window light by using the round white diffuser with the flash behind it.

Hi, I know this video is old. But can you share where you get your backdrops? I love the natural plaster looking backgrounds you use!

when using the umbrella light, you are adjusting your cameras settings with multiple shots until you can get the right look you want correct? do you find yourself seeing the image darker thru the lens prior to taking the shot?

You deserve more subscribers dude, You're so good, hope to meet you soon. Fan from PH🤘💛

Nice.. . Thanks for this

Thanks man! Appreciate the way you pass the knowledge!

Did you make your own flat lay surface? It looks like plywood and spackle mud - love the effect!

so educational! thank you so much!!

Thank you for your teaching. Very useful tips for learner. I am new here and i am still learning. Have not get my choosen camera yet. Coz i am looking two ways. Photo shooting and video too. Do you have any recommended brand? I previously use a few dslr which is Nikon brand. Have not try Sony or Canon.

Would you advise an umbrella to defuse your speedlight or a softbox? And why?

This was soo useful thank you for sharing

I would love it if you could do like duplicate photography for some famous photographers. For example, if you could examine Alex Lau's food photography and how to achieve a similar look would be a fun video! I love light and thanks to you I'm now obsessed with lighting and have figured out my unique creative niche creating unique food photography (and very amateur videography lol) with it! Thank you!

Love your channel! Very helpful and useful. Thanks for sharing! 😊

very useful and high quality content. thanks very much it helps me learn more about photography with flash.
