Studio lighting a still life subject to invoke mood narrative and emotion.
Using three Profoto studio flash units and a little smoke I’ll show how to create a classic image of an egg.
Plus, some tips and tricks in Photoshop to help things along a little.
I'll use a Canon DSLR tethered into Capture One to show you the iterations from basic image to completed photograph.

I am TableTop leader at the Richmond and Twickenham Photographic Society, and now, after Covid-19, we are starting to get back to action, but more project led than members doing their own thing. It's a very well explained tutorial, and thanks for your inspiration. I have quadra lights but also access to other fixed cable elichrome light too.

Have a look at this video kzfaq.info/get/bejne/sKuprcSKmM6aeGg.html I will show you how to get creative with stuff you will find in your kitchen. I’ll demonstrate how to paint with light using nothing more than a small torch and how to use an old plastic bag as an effective light modifier. All within the confines of the kitchen.

Nice video. I got a feeling those gels are much more expensive than you think. Has anyone tried an iron that has steam but used smoke or fog juice instead of water for more control of smoke on a smaller scale? I was wondering after seeing how to make a mini smoke machine out of an E-cigarette and a mini fan motor draw and blow the smoke out for miniatures and action figures (Toy Photography).

Hi there. Great video. Are there cheaper alternative's to the Pro Foto b1x that I can buy which do the same? I'm using soft boxes at the moment with 135w bulbs, and a single camera flash. I am though interested in this light as it really does produce some nice effects. :)

@CameraClubLive
@CameraClubLive 3 жыл бұрын
The values I used will be largely irrelevant to anyone else because flash energy, for example, will be dependent on the exact placement of the light and efficiency of modifier. To reproduce my result just build up the image one light at a time the same way I did. If you don't tether the camera then you can get a fair idea by looking at the back of the camera.

Dear Sir, Thank you very much for your impressive demo! I learned a lot in the build-up process. Just a quick question: why don't use a light meter to minimize the number of tests? Thank you, again!

Using a tethered camera into a calibrated monitor gives a far more accurate result than is possible with a light meter.

The house lights are daylight balanced LED. Like most domestic and commercial lighting, they are not designed for photographic use, therefore exhibit a colour cast. It is very difficult to take this out of the final image.

I’ve been a street photographer for years. Outside, natural light, small camera, take a shot of things that excite my eye and done. Lighting seems daunting to me, and another world, but I want to get into still life. It’s a whole other animal. Now what about clam shelling? Etc

What am I losing out on if I buy a cheap ($100) lights instead of the more ($500) and most expensive ($1200) flash units? Thanks for uploading! I'm inspired and educated by your content. You should consider posting the gear you use through the amazon affiliate program.

The main thing your losing out on is consistency, but also stable colour temperature and short flash duration.

@@CameraClubLive thank you so so much. I think I'll start cheap (maybe a speed light and a remote) and when I begin to notice its failures, I'll upgrade. I'm very ready to begin experimenting with flash thanks to your videos!
