I loved this video. It gives some great ideas on lighting. The setup is simple but it makes perfect sense! I have to date not liked anything with a big para as a key light, but when used with a small key light, like the beauty dish, and then used as a big soft fill, it works! Thanks, I am trying this. Now I have to go buy more toys dammit.

Great behind the scenes doco.

Shooting tethered, I’ve only done it recently when working with a stylist on set and said can I see the images on the laptop as you shoot it … Sure you can, I said. Now to work out how! In fact it was pretty easy. I used a Canon 7D, USB cable to the laptop and used the s/w that came with the camera, nice. Stylist loved it the client loved but I felt the shoot was a lot slower as I was working on a tripod for the first time in the studio.

I love the freedom of shooting hand held and being able to move around. We had a great shoot and client raved about the shots.

So a new way of working in the studio.

And this video definitely inspired me to shoot tethered more often and I must try our CaptureOne.

Thanks for sharing guys :)

Anyone know the make of that fan? It pushed a LOT of air from a distance, into the model’s hair. I want one!
