The lighting was great. He knows what he is doing. However, don't overlook the model. She was incredible. Great poses one after another with very little direction.

I just started photography, I have no gear, no lights, no "studio", no models to shoot and I can't afford school. Sometimes doubts, anxiety, fear make me think that I'm not good at photography and that I'll never be. But I don't wanna give up. So, when I'm feeling down I come here and watch one of your videos. You give me hope. Thank you so so so much for doing what you do here on KZfaq.

Step 1: Turn the camera on Step 2: Remove the lens cap How often I've failed those steps 😞

If this is simple, I can’t imagine what professional looks like lol

Yes quality! Yes content! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾Such a helpful video!

Me realizing that I finally found Lizzie Mcguire's little brother after missing him for half my life. 👁️👄👁️

This tutorial is perfect! You're lighting setups are totally down to earth and the results look stellar. You're also taking great care to mention lighting ratios and the effects additional lighting and reflective surfaces have on your shadows and subjects. I absolutely love this!!! Also, Jake is an amazing teacher and makes the concept of studio lighting approachable and fun!

Great information!!! I felt like I was back in my college studio lighting class. Thank you for constantly creating great content for photographers.

That model from thumbnail is stunning! Like seriously beautiful. Okay, going to watch the video now :D

"All of the lights" I got you girl lol You're not alone

Jessica can make any tense professional video into a calmer and humorous one 😂❤️ I really look up to you in that 🙌

This was awesome! Not only did I learn a ton, but this is the first video where the model actually gets to talk and give her opinion. I hate when photographers treat their models like they're just tools. Great work you guys!

PLEASE DO MORE OF THESE VIDEOS!!! THIS WAS A GREAT LEARNING VIDEO

That studio is gorgeous. I love the black walls and the strips of lights behind the backdrop.

I'm about to go into my 3rd year degree at a different university and it is concentrating on fashion, editorial and advertising photography. I haven't really shot in a studio properly and know I will have to next year. Thank you for this Jessica it taught me a lot :)

Nice video, a lot to learn for beginners about how much a v-flat or reflector can do for you when using just one light. So many over complicate their setups straight away, adding lights before trying a one light setup first. Great to discover Jake as well. Lots of good content on IG.

This video looks so aesthetic and that model is absolutely beautiful💕

I needed some inspiration after my last shoot, so thank you Jess and Jake for showing me something new. Even better since I have 51" soft Silver umbrella, I love it

Thank You for taking time to teach us. Love your work.

You are awesome, Jessica.I love your way of taking photos

So awesome, really great editing. Nice to see someone pushing their comfort zone and being humble about it.

Thanks for this video. Really demystified this process for me. 2setup @7:00 3setup @10:45

so much talent in 1 video. Noa, Jess and Jake....just wow

Jess you are such an inspiration to me, I love all of your videos.

Loved everything in this video! The post-color editing, hosts, model, filming angles and lighting. Those photos you took also turned amazing! Splendid job, nothing else to say. Please do this kind of videos in the future, too! 🔥🔥🔥

This video is so underrated! This helped a lot thank you!

More of this please. Nice video Jessica and Jake.

I am looking to do studio sessions but had NO IDEA where to start and what to consider. The commentary and insight you and Jake gave individually along with actually showing us different equipment being utilized LIVE is beyond awesome. I felt like I was actually in the room with you guys. Yall rock and s/o to Jake, he was really dope

This is so helpful Jessica! Really loved this

Great video!! Who knew I’d be learning photography lighting from Lizzie’s brother!! 😍

I watched this like six times lol I just really want to play around with the single light set up with the huge diffuser! Such a good look and I have so many ideas I want to try now. Also! I believe if you go to a student art supply store something like Blick, you can find huge boards you can use as vflats or make your own. I know you can by them online somewhere but I would just DIY it because it can get expensive with shipping and all that jazz, plus you don't have to wait! Thanks for the awesome video jess!!!

HE IS THE LIZZIE MCGUIRE BROTHER????????? wow i'm old

Not me randomly stumbling into Jake ❤️ great video thank you guys

That model was mad pro. She gave so much each take. Great style and man she knew how to work the light. She was fantastic!

I think your brilliant Jessica!! You make Photography less intimidating!! Thankyou :)

I absolutely loved the video

Great video! She is a fantastic model! Thank you Jake for showing us more than just the basic soft light setups. Too many photographers are always looking for that soft light. Hard light needs to be in your repertoire. Good stuff and keep up the good work!

I really love Jake editing/light temperature but with Jessica angles. Both are amazing. Amazing and super clean video. Shook to see Lizzie brother as a photographer lol.

Thank you two! Amazing works!

editing of this video is on point! love the glitch transitions!

LOVE the single source soft light, it gave a rembrant effect without using all 3 lights

Photographer Jake Thomas.... You mean Jake Thomas the best little brother ever! He added so much to the show Lizzie Mcguire!

BEAUTIFUL! Love this Jessica!!

This was an incredible video! Next level

Thank you for sharing, this was really interesting. That second light setup was amazing!

Fantastic video! To the point with enough details for anyone to start and beautiful examples. Great editing on the video.

Loved this video! Thanks for what you do Jessica 😊

Ah! I was searching so hard for this and glad I found you have uploaded about lighting. You're my photography Buddha now. (Watches)

"It's budget, this doesn't cost too much" Proceeds to list things that cost too much.

Thanks for the love! You and Jake made a great team on this video!

Great video, presentation, production, information and length all spot on!

Awesome!! Wish you great success this year.

This just makes my day! Dope video btw!

Please do another on of these. Has to be one of the most valuable videos you've ever made on here. 🤗

I’m so happy about this video!!

Once you start lighting, you become addicted. A new chapter for you as you incorporate it into your photography, great video! You get the 4’x8’ boards from home improvement stores and put them together using gaffer tape.

Thank you so much to share your knowledge and your positive and funny attitude! Love what you have accomplished, it is very beautiful!! Very useful for me!!

Well... that was fun to watch. I'm a control freak, when it comes to lighting, so I rarely shoot outside. The differences among each of your setups is dramatic, and each is beautiful. Like many novices, I bought quality gear without knowing how best to use it. Because of the pandemic, I have time to experiment. Thanks for the ideas and inspiration. You're dope AF and I hope you do another live-stream soon.

Love you Jes!

please do more of these this was incredible!!!!

Amazing, gonna try this for sure!

Jake

Gonna invest in the one light set up and work up from there! It's awesome to see you out of your element Jessica, those last shots were incredible!

i havent seen him in so long, this a blast from the past!

I had fun joining you guys .... thanks for the lessons on one, 2, three lighting set-ups . you're a great team ! Oh and I learned lots!

Great! As always very helpful ❤️

Thank you for making this video Jessica 🤗

Hi Jessica! can you tell how you do this glitch effect with the names that show up in the video?

This tutorial is amazing. Great content and it is very helpful for photographers.

The vid felt so good somehow!

I loved the video. Great mix of things!!

Just love this video! ❤

Thank you for making such a great video. Very very useful for beginners.

That is amazing how much you can achieve even with one light and reflectors!

So helpful! But like it's not that I can get them... Jessica you are such an inspiration to me!!!

Great lesson Guys. Thanks for sharing your skills.

Thanks Jessica & Jake Thomas for this very informative and practical video on lighting, please tell us something about your settings, camera & lens you both are using for those beautiful shots, want more such

I am currently using a big source light on one side, and natural light on the other side to fill up a bit (coming from the window!) . thanks for the video btw!

Thanks for such an informative video!

this is nothing short of amazing! Thank you :)

Great, more and more this kind of contents

I'm really glad you brought Jake Thomas on. He's an excellent photographer and I've been following his work for a few years.

I've been watching this video since it came out, eventually purchased all the equipment necessary for it and it 's been great, just need a model lol

Oh Jessica I love you so much!! I clicked this not even realizing it was yours; I just ordered my first light setup and I'm so excited to learn from you

lovely lighting

Great tutorial, congratulations guys!

So cool to see the studio set ups!!

Nice video Jess and lots of room for thought; I’m just starting, so will try one light first then maybe a reflector. The model was very beautiful which I’m sure helps the end result. Great stuff and more please, especially show more about how the lights are placed with regard to the model e.g. distance from and angle of tilt...etc.

I love your videos! Thank you so so much!

the model is so pretttyyyy

Loved this tutorial, very clear and simple. The quality of the video is amazing! (May I ask what camera did you used for the footage of the video?)

Love it u guys are my fav

This was very informative, great job and thanks!

Was not expecting to learn light ratios from Ethan from Lizzie McGuire haha but this video was so helpful!! studio lighting and photography is a new venture for me and it’s fun learning more about it.

excellent tips as always Jessica.
