    Idk what camera you’re using but these look horrible straight out of camera. Mine never look like that and they even look better in the video

    "OH NO" (foam core goes down) Right On Cue! GREAT! I like how you are demonstrating how the model and background interact, many photographers really aren't thinking about this and it is a huge separation.

    Saw the last shootout before this and never caught what you meant by cave lighting 😛 but here it looks like Peter Lindbergh type of tunnel that he made.

    Thank you Lee! Love it when you guys explain what you are doing, how it affects the image, and your thought processes. Would love more stuff like this🔥 Also the competitions with Pye are always amazing and hilarious 😂

    Could somebody tell the model she's not the last woman alive on earth?

    Why didn't someone offer her some pants that were not tattered?! Things must be quite bleak when that is the best one has to model with. And, "cave " lighting…wouldnt that be with phosphorous or glow worms??? [in a cave] Sorry, just having fun. She is lovely 🙂

    Do you FW natural lighting?

    If you're a photographer, don't assume that you need studio lights to get great lighting, natural lighting is beautiful. The sun is the greatest light of all. It adds colors to the skin, makes the eyes pop, and I was even able to use the natural light to create a loop on my subject just below the nose, adding depth to a straight on shot.

    You might have to fight with the sun a little more, considering you can't just control the power or angle of your lights, but winning that fight pays off in your end product. •

    Hiring these drop dead gorgeous models any lighting situation is going to look great. Have a normal person be the model. For example Patrick or yourself.

    You have to watch out when the person is tall in the doorway and the majority of the light comes from below.
