About Seth
Seth Miranda's career in photography has been as unique as his images. Having publications under his belt at age 15, he sculpted his lighting technique day and night in the fast-action world of BMX and skateboarding. With experience running the spectrum of all formats of film, experimental/older forgotten processes all the way to today's digital medium, his versatile style has been featured in DigBMX, RideBMX, Juxtapoz, MakeUp Artist magainze and Transworld media publications as well as billboard and print ads for agencies like Deustch. He has assisted legend photographers like Joe McNally on set and also been featured in galleries covering subjects such as punk and alternative lifestyles.
Seth has brought his skill set and experience to the studio to masterfully capture every vision and concept thrown at his lens by the Special Effects MakeUp artists in attendance having worked for MUD MakeUp Designory, MakeUp For Ever, MakeUp Artist Magazine, IMATS, and many more facets of the industry. In his quest for mastery, Seth has also pushed his cinema still style docudrama images outside the realm of photography and into other mediums as stenciling, resin cast, and screen printing. With an endless drive to push, create and collaborate it's safe to say his evolution of work has yet to reach its limit.

Thanks, Seth! Like I mentioned in the live chat, the coolest things are sometimes in the details of seeing you improvise, so thanks again for going overtime and showing us more!

Thanks, excellent segment! Learning so much from both you and Daniel. Just picked up Profoto B2s... will add A1X for Fuji when it comes out. Hopefully, it will be out soon.

Just watched this video, no idea how I missed it. Excellent as always Seth. Question for you, I shoot events, weddings, etc., and use Nikon cameras, am I better off with Nikon flashes from a reliability perspective or will third-party flashes, like Godox be good enough? Thanks

What bracket are you using to mount it in the soft box?

@drraopvn6926 5 жыл бұрын

@stalkev 5 жыл бұрын

It seems like since he A1 cost lest than the A1X you could buy the A1 and an A1X battery for backup... Great show Seth….

Thanks, Seth. Side question on traveling with your equipment. How do you deal with TSA in keeping the locks on your equipment bags/cases? Unless you're able to carry all the A1's/A1X's in your carry on, you have to put hem in checked baggage, correct? I've tried using the TSA approved locks and they still used a bolt cutter to remove the lock for inspection rather than their access key. So I've always limited the equipment in my checked baggage to my tripod and laptop charger with cables. Have you had good luck with pre-inspection? Thanks in advance for your time and response.

He has all of his lights in his carry on. He's gone over that on either here or his personal YT channel

with the last photo with the 3 lights in the back of Cassy what would you do to eliminate any view of the people holding the lights so you only had the flash?

@djsugarbear6079 5 жыл бұрын

Seth are any tips on getting the download software (MAC) recognize my A1 for the new C3 firmware update? Trying to get it to work via on screen instructions but no luck. “Holding the rightmost button and test button for 1 sec”. This ain’t working. Let us know and thanks in advance

Around 1:13:02, what kind of attachment is that on the stand that is extending out the mini softbox? And is it something you can use with a regular lightstand? Or only with a C-stand?

Thank you for another great demo. You have done shutter drag so many times before but people keep clamoring for more. You must really be the undisputed 'drag king'. Wait, something does not sound right. On a serious note, I am only an amateur and getting a profoto is an impossible dream for me. However, it makes me think of getting a Godox V1. I wonder if I am the only one.

@thegreatujo 2 жыл бұрын

You're not. I've been researching for the past 2 years all the brands and configurations regarding lights. You can buy 5 godox v1's for the price of one profoto A1X. I used them and they are super-reliable. I also got myself a Godox AD600Pro last month (that's 600 wattseconds, has ttl, has hss) for 800 euros. That's less that a single of these guy's profoto :)) But they do look gorgeous, I have to admit (the profotos, I mean)

What lens was Seth using?

@findbradford 5 жыл бұрын

this is why i am shooting Sony HVL-F60RM 10 flashes per sec and consistent correct color and temp which is not consistent with godox, nissie or other options for sony will test with profoto now they have triggers for sony, i don't see benefits if using a round head if using softbox

@MSmatt76 5 жыл бұрын

Be careful dropping the A1, mine fell out of the hot shoe, a $500 repair!!!

@mverick160 5 жыл бұрын

Did Casey not want credited? Did you post her info anywhere? Nice work. Definitely a Profoto advertisement. But good info throughout. The shutter started to close before the Rear sync completed. Could have been the camera, Also could be the flash transmitter sending the wrong info out.

Hi Seth, great demo as always. However I see a cross shadow on her left cheek from the on camera flash. So it looks like being that close without much diffusion on the on camera flash, I think minus 2 stops looked best the shadow seems very mild almost not noticeable.as you bring the power up on the camera flash it's looking kind of unnatural. Almost a bit too specular on her right cheek. I know arm chair quarterback. :)
