Awesome!!!
Hi Tony, u never share ur light and camera settings in this video and i want to know
In ONLY 5 mins you've taught me more about lighting than I learned in the scores of other videos I have looked at. Great job!
Thanks for the vidoe ,could u also share the light power for each light was set?
What's the ratio from main light to hair light? Thanks
If i am just using a main and fill light set up, do i have to meter them separately to get the ratio i want and then meter them together to get the correct exposure for the camera? Or do i just use the exposure settings for the main light? say for example the main light meters at f/11 and the fill meters at f/4, do i put the aperture on my camera to f/11 or do i have to take a meter reading of both lights together? i think i understand how to balance out the lights and how to get the ratio correct, but its confusing me as to what settings i should have on my camera, thanks
Nice
I was going to ask how does this woman keep growing younger but I can see the video was from 7 years ago.
What can I say? Happy New Year. 😃😃

I come from the future and genghis-khan-moustache-tony makes me feel uncomfortable
GREAT Video !!!!!!
Can you list links to the different lights as you did with the camera's
Great info. Thank you!
What a fantastic, focused video. Thanks!
How does it go all of at once
Thank you for the video,
I just wish you mentioned which type of lighting is each one, like soft box, beauty dish… etc.
Can you use a grid in place of a snoot for the hairlight?
why can’t we have teachers like him in schools. Thanks man , u r great!
love this video. thanks alot for sharing
Main & fill should both be on the same side of the camera (which should be on a camera stand or tripod)
very helpful and understandable nice explanation.. short video but very informative than other who give a tut in very long and boring explanation..
Tnk you
thank you this is great stuff and much needed
Everyone teaches it but how much & how far is the question
what shutter speed you use? is it for key light or fill light?
sexy lol
any idea what is the exposure on each light? like whats the difference between the key light and the kicker or the flash or the fill light??? help pleaseeeeee
thank you both verymuch
how to take picture
Your tutorials are bang on target.thank you
Tony, is your fill light a continuous light or is there a speedlight in the softbox? Thx
Nice, simple, very informative tutorial. You guys have a sweet, positive vibe.
Bloody phill with his lights.
That is a great video!
Great as usual !
Fifth light was overkill.
