In this video, Lee Morris of Fstoppers explores broad and short lighting for portrait photography in the studio. Using the FujiFilm GFX 50s Medium Format camera and 120mm Macro Lens, along with a Manfrotto Tripod and Ballhead, Lee is able to create two completely different looking portraits by placing the light on different sides of his subject. All images are edited and retouched using AlienSkin Exposure X4

    Put the white board on the other side and you will got the result that you wish for. No need to bring that extra two lights.

    I don't want to pop anyone's balloon, but . . . A portrait lighting tutorial without a single word about lighting ratios and, in fact, creating all the lighting "by eye"? Interesting. It would perhaps have been more helpful for beginners who see this video to have learned a few of the (easy) basic theories behind portrait lighting which would permit them to make good portraiture repeatedly*, not just by [time consuming] trial-and-error methods or 'by eye' . . . plus, based upon someone *else's eye. Just my 2¢.

    on the first setup, the fill light on the same side as the key light did pretty much nothing from what i can see?

    Amazing, too bad that it’s going to be difficult for ppl that likes to take pics themselves, going back and forth trying to figure where’s the proper light and posing same time

    i am the type of photographer who wants to spend a lot more time on shooting, rather than editing. just 2-3 minor tweaks and thats it!

    Hey guys, I need the help of the internet.

    Im a new photographer and I need to know , where should I spend my next ~$500 , so far I have my camera + Speedlight + Softbox & Tripod (for the speedlight).

    1.The tripod + the ball head $ 400ish
    2. The boom stick + Godox SLB60W $560ish

    I like portrait and food photography, so im in an internal debate.

    Any help will be greatly appreciate it.

    Wait, I thought it was a video about lighting, there is so much product review that I can even remember why I was watching this video in first place hahahah
    Not to mention that Lee criticizes amateur photographers so much that it doesn't even seem that this channel was made entirely for these people…

    How do I know when to use the erase tool? Like, what if I want to erase part of a tool I used, but it erased all the work under it, too, instead?

    Absolutely perfect video. Thorough yet…not boring. And not confusing with over-explaining/under-explaining. Thank you.

    I understand the need to get paid, but this is unwatchable. It seems like every other sentence is about Gadget Acquisition Syndrome (GAS) and not about the lighting setup. Very disappointing.

    If the video lights are a problem, turn then off, or at least set them dimmer.- BAK

    People want free videos on youtube but then complain when the sponsors who paid for it get their air time.
