Great performance Frank & Marie. I think the price of light meters on eBay already went up due to the extra demand 🙂
I was not a believer in light meters but this video is making me change my mind…very interesting your workflow Frank, very interesting.
Thanks, light meters rock 😀
Thanks to TWiT I am “meeting” so many pros that I never thought possible! Your interview was awesome! I learned so much in a short time, and will look at “flash” photography in a whole new way thanks to you.
Good to hear, glad you liked it.
I just finished watching your interview on TWIT.tv (recorded), and wanted to thank you for the excellent presentation. Keep up the good work. I’m putting your web site into the “visit regularly” list.
thanks, the blog is updated daily (except on Sunday) with news, images, videos and technique, so make sure to check in :d
Can you or have you posted the photos you took during the Twit show?
Hi,
We did store them but there was nothing really interesting enough to show them, on my portfolio at https://frankdoorhof.com/portfolio you can see the examples with much better styling and makeup, this was just done for the show so we did not take extra good care on makeup for example.
Thanks for this video.
Can’t get enough frank !
After being attached to my meter for over 20 years, I’m so happy to have a true ally in the methods.
Your one of the best of our time.
Thank you so very much for the kind words.
Great interview Frank, I liked the results of the demo’s too. I should be more brave and use just one light. The only thing that went too quick was the last part with the white background, how did you get to that? 36+36=72 = 1 stop?
Every stop is double the amount of light.
So when you measure 18% gray you go 2.5 stops up for pure white and 4.5 stops down for pure black (approximately).
That makes a lot of sense, my way was to just meter the subject and add 2 stops to the background lights instead of metering it. I think this will give better results.
But how do you set the lights if you don’t meter them ?
If you trust on the dials you will go wrong.
