This modifier is more often than not overlooked. I have no idea why because it is one of my go to modifiers, the shoot through umbrella. In this video I go through the process of how I use it, together with one Speedlight to create amazing portraits in a small home studio.

Just something about me…
Since prior to my entry into the wedding industry, I have been considered to be one of the most reputable lighting specialists in the Philippines, conducting workshops nationwide and have been featured in various photography magazines. I was also a multi-awarded portrait and advertising photographer.
My expertise is in manipulating ambient and artificial light to create clean and classic photographs which naturally led me to the genre of portrait and wedding photography. Since then, I have shot numerous weddings locally and overseas exhibiting my signature style.

The video is very clear, concise, and delivers its points in a deliberate pace. "Simplicity" is the key point in this video, but it is unfortunate that someone finds this "amateurish". One's skill in photography is not only shown through understanding all the technical complexities that come with it, but the ability to be able to achieve good results, in spite of the physical or technical limitations of the location. The remark is uncalled for.

i use shoot through way more often than reflective. unless i want a bit of pop. then the silver lined reflective gives just a little bit more sparkle. shoot through umbrellas dont have a lot of control of the light so a dark studio or black V-flats might help keep the lighting more contrasty. another great video and many thanks to your lovely wife Coco!

For the speedlite, are you using the angled head instead of angling the speedlite so it retains its focal range for flash?

NEVER Good to use HSP 4 numerous shoots - OK 4 once in a while in extreme cases. BEST: f/4 - ISO 200 - 1/125 sec. USE these settings for thousands of shots 4 clients each month. OCF Godox AD200 Shoot Through umbrella 1/8 power set at 8 feet from subject. LENS Nikon f/1.4 50mm.

It will be different for everyone. Who cares what YOU use?

@SuperMassara Жыл бұрын

First of all you should use a black panel behind the umbrella in order to control the spill of the light all over the place ( besides the light spreading ... you are also introducing all kinds of colour shifts since our walls are not white) ....secondly you should use a boom arm to be able to tilt the umbrella in order to give the right/desired angle to the light source . There are other important things to be said but let's not make it too complicated.... This video is very amateurish.

@jasonbodden8816 Ай бұрын

So no, no and no. It depends on the look you're going for. It obviously didn't bounce that much light around the room as YOU think it did. He has no color shifts in his shots are. Jiggie is an EDUCATOR who teaches photography to people of ALL LEVELS. That you think this is amateurish doesn't matter one bit.
