They could have done so much more with the location.
Why under expose the background so much in the first scenario? the light coming through the ceiling looks amazing. I think the shots need to be stronger to get the point of shooting on a budget across. The end results look like they were done on a budget.

Thanks for highlighting our video!

A couple of you asked about the softbox. I actually went into detail about it, but it didn’t make the final cut. It’s the ALZO Porta Flash Speedlight Softbox. I bought it from Amazon for about $60. I wanted something really easy to setup and use. It comes with the bracket to hold the flash and attach it to a light stand.

Let me know if you have anymore questions. I plan on being quite active with this community.

Nice video guys – funny and informative. Now I know what I’ve been missing on my shoots – a human flash stand :)
