I love teaching photography, and if you follow my social media pages you probably already know this.
With shows like Digital classroom, Quite Frankly, Behind the closed DOORs etc. etc. you might think you already got the best of me…. and although I of course really try to give you guys top notch material online it’s not really to be compared to our commercial videos. In the full length instructional videos I dive more into the matter and discuss/demo/show techniques and tips that I normally don’t share via the free channels.

 

With the full length videos I always try to take one subject that’s really important for creativity/technique etc. and really dive into that. We’ve had dedicated videos for working on location, the use of the Light-Meter, Capture One, Photoshop, creativity, coaching the model and a lot more…. but this time it was time for something really unique and a topic that will literally get your creative juices flowing. Let me introduce :

Mastering the modelshoot : Any light will do
I’ve taught countless workshops and released several instructional videos but this might be the most important one.
The first thing people always ask me is “what gear did you use”?
Of course most of the time we shoot with strobes, sunlight, reflectors etc. But in essence you can say that “Any light will do” I strongly believe that as long as there is light you can create images.

In short, you don’t need expensive gear to create stunning images or tell your story. That’s why in this video I show you a lot of tips and tricks how you can shoot with light sources that you normally probably never would have though off.

What about :
Smartphone lighting, a led flash light, Christmas lights, a tungsten lightbulb and even a chandelier.

But I also show you how to be creative with existing light sources like a ring light, Lume cubes, a DIY Fresnel with speed lights and even an icelight.
This video is filled to the brink with cool ideas that will trigger your creativity, but most of all proves once and for all that “any light will do”

Runtime app 85 minutes

 

What I can promise you after watching this video is that you will see lighting in a totally different way, this will not only help you when shooting with these “alternative” lightsources, but it will also help you greatly in understanding strobes, continues lighting and any mix of these. This is not just a “play with weird light sources video” this is really a video touching the fundamentals of understanding, controlling and manipulating light to 100% match your creativity.
