this new these lights work real I know I
think we are a mighty oh thank you okay
well okay okay I just lay stuff right
okay we’re live hey guys hi guys hey
guys we’re live we’re live come on come
on come on this is you tech via hi guys
my name is David
I got Jeremy on the line again he’s
joining us for a live stream today we’re
talking about light emotion
check out those lights that we have in
the background here I got the CL mm
Jeremy’s got the CF 8 but before we talk
about the light let’s let’s say juice
ourselves just a little bit Jeremy you
know I do a shoot-off though oh my
lights on that’s pretty dangerous sorry
guys for buying you guys myself man
basically I’m a photographer I’ve been
shooting photography for about 10 years
I’ve been mainly using flash as my main
photography light and with the
technology moving I’m starting to look
into LEDs and I think these are the
perfect LEDs I’ve been playing around
with these I’ve been loving them Jeremy
over here he’s been doing wedding
photography and pre wedding for over 15
years now and he’s stabbed into a lot of
LED lighting and he’s been using a lot
of these lights for seminars workshops
and actual professional shoots so he’s
got a lot to share about so let me
introduce you guys to Jeremy hi guys I’m
Jeremy again again I’m here why am I
here again cuz you’re awesome and your
expert love having you on this
Challenger me so last time we talked
about software this timing about talk
about hot wear something that is hot
well it doesn’t it doesn’t burn it’s not
hot but it’s right you tell shirt very
bright yeah I mean like I’m having hair
way now is the delay emotions tell that
I Pro Co x8 yes the CL is eight that’s
got like I got that she likes
I got the CL mm this one is a smaller
more compact one so there’s like the
true that you see on the screen right
there right let me turn off cuz this
thing it’s for this side it is really
bright I mean this light like this right
I’m sorry for applying you guys but it
is really really bright and its compact
it’s got a little weight to it but the
batteries built-in it’s water-resistant
you can put this down to why
like a meter deep and I’ll sub stay
submerged for 30 minutes and work just
fine it’s got built-in battery it takes
about 105 minutes recharge when it’s
fully charged you got about 50 minute
runtime it’s got a good color
temperature at 5600 Kelvin this guy a
night above 90 CRI above 90 TTL CI so
really really high spec mm means so what
do you have there Jeremy this is the CEO
X paid in Hera 8000 lumens similar to
that but the step wise I think it’s a
little bit more powerful well yeah it’s
four times more PC is 93 and PLC is like
accurate than the one that you have yeah
but the only downfall for this compared
to yours is the IP really is only 54
right I got IP rating of 60 on this one
so this one can go down to water and it
can actually stand a good job – yeah so
what you have is actually much more
doable than this one but this one’s way
more powerful for the one you have it we
quite a little bit more to do outdoor
and fight against the Sun this one here
is just enough to fight afghans it’s not
like it outdoor shooting sense actually
wherever it works right this is perfect
for like when your indoor when you’re
like in a small confined area this is
perfect because these lights the nice
thing is it’s basically you shine a
light on your subject and what you see
is what you get in the camera there’s no
guesswork and figure out like what kind
of results I am I gonna get with the
flash because you shine a light you see
the light and it’s compact so you can
take into any area and set up and have
someone hold it and not have to worry
about big soft boxes big umbrellas or
light stands or being exported out for
security security it’s it just works
it’s really nice so Jeremy slides a
little bit bigger this was smaller but
these are the two lights we’re talking
about today and basically we’re also
going to talk about how you don’t worry
the light no what you don’t want is
picker
cuz I’m bigger you’re a little bit
taller but let’s not we’re at we’re off
subject we’re moving on to next slide no
no no period all right you’re a little
bit bigger than me all right so we got a
kit
Amazon sells right Jeremy so what’s in
this kit here so I have the same kit
here
it’s a portrait kid that they have it
comes with the CX 8 as well as when you
hold it with the CL mm this is perfect
for if you want to start your portrait
if this is lighting you want the first
time you pay with lighting this is
perfect because it has all you need just
look at all the accessory comes with if
you go to like just connect slides I
think oh wow yes
oh so this is basically someone that
with how this this light works so all
the batteries built in you know I’m not
an engineer so I’m gonna talk about that
but I don’t know better will spill in
here it’s pretty tiny yeah it’s a CL mm
if you look at the switches on the top
that’s gonna see all mm so it’s really
amazing how they really the bulk of that
weight if all that is that the battery
in the frame because that’s the two
biggest component in a light it’s very
simple light that’s why it’s very robust
it can have a shot proof of dropping
down one meter and it still is strong
the reason why I feel this way so
because this company used to make
underwater Lighting’s right they have
that experience yeah so they have
experience putting doable and solid one
job one water leak lighting so they are
that compared to all the outside other
brand of LED the real part is I would
say super yes yes and I really love the
fact that they’re robust in that because
like you know as professionals we carry
our equipment around in a backpack
sometimes they drop out of our backpacks
sometimes some guests not so for a
license it falls down I don’t really
care about the light braking as much as
I care about the light breaking on the
day of and I don’t have my equipment to
continue shooting so with with like
riester the equipment like this where
it’s simple and built with really high
quality solid material I feel really
confident that in case this drops I
still have a light that works so kudos
to light a motion for building really
high quality light that’s really
oops you always do that to me Jenny
every time no worries yeah so this is
the light that you’re holding Jeremy so
you might talks about this text right
yeah so you can move on to the next yeah
oh we lock our temperatures the captain
just 5600 Kelvin yeah it’s pretty really
pretty pretty bet that on on the color
balance right and then the 5600 Kelvin
is good for like our modern-day society
but now because everywhere you go you
have high quality LEDs around and when
you’re shooting with other light panels
or if if there’s other light sources in
a room usually it’s around 5600 Kelvin
which is also daylight which is the very
natural temperature and that voice gain
a yellow cast of lights so and the good
CRI and good TLC I – those two numbers
as long as they’re above 90 means you
have very high quality light for example
if you have an apple that’s red right
and you shine a light on it well the
Apple is still better look red because a
high CRI means you’re going to reproduce
light that’s very natural to have the
sunlight produces light so you’re used
to seeing that color whereas a low CRI
like a CRI of 80 or 70 those are
terrible and that’s not what we have
here but those like if you shine the
light on the Apple it might look green
or has a greenish tint and now you don’t
have a cat you have like a queen chaos
creator magenta is usually what people
say but yeah high CRI so this all the
lights that we ever talk about because
we use these in the professional
environment so we want all our lights to
have CRI and TLC eyes above 90
of course yeah and then what Jeremy has
there has 8000 lumens so it’s pre bright
because for current day Monday’s right
now the current temperature is important
due to effect that our camera way now
has live view so if you look at your
camera and your led which let’s say you
buy someone a bro it’s the cheaper ones
and they have color cast when you look
at alive you just feel like do you want
to click that shutter because it’s kind
of green yeah so in your library you
want to make sure that the lighting
temperature is correct I mean I know if
a fact they help you actually fix the
temperature and you knows right this is
easy but
cuz of camera way now you could actually
seed the Butte and battle the lightning
you kind of have you hesitated right so
yeah it’s good to have a good equitable
balance in your life right and also you
have to remember that okay so if it’s
not accurate like you have like a 3,000
Kelvin as long as everything is 3,000
then it’s fine you can fix it in post
but if you have something that’s 3,000
you have something that’s 5,600 and you
have daylight shining in the window
that’s also around 5600 Kelvin but you
have a lot to work with and it’s kind of
tricky to kind of get the right color
temperature right so you have something
that’s consistent with daylight because
you know there’s still light everywhere
so you use meat slicer sometimes replace
the ambient light but sometimes you want
just enhanced and be like so it’s best
that they match the ambient light as
much as possible which is generally 5600
Kelvin so we moved over to the spec
sheet of a CL mm which is what I have
here it’s a smaller light than the light
that Germany is holding this one has
power in terms of brightness and yellow
light but it’s also smaller more compact
it still has a CRI and TLC eye above 90
it takes about 105 minutes to charge and
once it’s charged this thing runs for 50
minutes on high power so if you run a
lower power it’ll last even longer in
that same CRI I’m Sam sorry same color
temperature as a1 that Germany has that
way if you have these two as a kit yeah
consistent lighting between the two
light sources and I loved I do like yes
little lights nice right the only thing
that I don’t need to do anything outdoor
with in doing hotel or into areas that
light is perfect into anything from
being key light to bad light to do
product shot swing shot you know you
name it you could do anything with that
light just so easy because it’s bright
enough that you could basically do
anything and the small one is tiny and
what I love about it it’s like you we
have assistant you asked him to hold the
light but when you hold when you ask the
system holder flash you have to tell me
exactly how to point it and then because
they don’t know how it’s gonna look so
they just have to hold it there where’s
the asset system how this light you
okay I want you to shine a lot in the
face and you could just sit so it looks
like that okay perfect hold it there so
then the system you see what the lights
doing and they can kind of hold it there
whereas – this is holding the flash I’ll
honestly I’ll tell my sister hold the
flash like this right and five minutes
later I look back at her she’s like yeah
I’m still holding the flash I’m still
come on right she sees what she’s
holding of the light for right so what
you see is what you can was he see what
she sees what she got – oh he’s getting
yes yes so this to be a woman but there
are other systems too and what he sees
he gets except if she sees something he
doesn’t see it but never mind we’re not
gonna get into there anyway
next like a series they have yes right
so this comes with the kids a job but I
thought to put the gel kids in there but
they have a CTO gel yeah right you have
to see to eat jello actually the Wiimote
doesn’t come with the mean we have to
purchase sample they which do we musk
that’s talked about that I think I’ve a
slide show up at the laters yeah you do
have a slide about that later okay so
let’s talk about some of them my
favorite tools in there sure okay next
like so yep next slide please
all right now that’s it yeah so the
finale actually nailed down this light
to a 25 degree which can create a
spotlight effect you know how high does
Hollywood spot some about yes like that
so first thing I love that style wedding
when it comes to making portrait
acquainted mean streak with the shadow
it looks amazing and also if you put
this and for outdoor use
you actually metafile a light so when
you go go outside – against the Sun the
light become more powerful you could
actually go a little bit further away
distant to get leave it on the subject
so this is 3d awesome love this love
this tools yes for now just focuses the
light and a stronger beam you can dance
it mm-hmm perfect so what else does come
with a diffuser domes you know yeah you
always put that long endure this author
you know you always want soft the light
always off the lights nice
pleasing if you see the thumbnail this
video you can see that the light of the
model that Jeremy shot beautiful light
on her face you would think it came from
a natural light source on overcast day
which is like the perfect lighting but
no that was lit with these LEDs and
probably using this one or other
diffusers basically a modifier to soften
their light so this thing definitely
helps softer light comes included with
the game you know it helps yes is their
shelves yeah and then one thing I really
like the barn doors especially when you
try it sometimes you want to put the
light mix the wall blocks on the light
and those font that we becomes Handy’s
right right right
because you don’t want to write like if
it wall is here you don’t want the light
to spill into the wall so what you do is
you close this barn door so the light
doesn’t hit the wall because otherwise
it will light up this wall and if it’s
like a green wall or read Walden now the
focus is on the wall and not you have a
light strip on the wall and that doesn’t
no pleasing so with that we D yes it
directs the light so that’s why burn
dirt does it’s part of the kit as well
here’s the remote
you know Wiimote um unfortunately it
doesn’t come with kit yet purge is it
but it can help you we mold si we don’t
have a system and you just have the
light all by yourself and then you want
more power less power and off you have
the Wemo and we monthly turn it on and
off and control the power so that’s
pretty needy yes sometimes you want like
multiple like setting or portraiture
that’s a few more light you don’t want
to go in every single item just you know
change it with that you stand there it’s
kind of the flash remote yeah it’s
basically two different thing and change
the powers
that’s what I was gonna ask there’s a
one remote you can program it to control
multiple lights individually and as a
group – right exactly
cool very cool so why tell the last
about yeah why I LED light you know the
the more way now everybody’s talking
about off-camera flash off-camera flash
off-camera flash off-camera flash but
why LED light for over 10 years yeah you
were shooting for 10 years there’s a lot
of people who
my first time playing with Lighting’s
doesn’t mean over highlighting lighting
is like flash LED whatever is and LED
basically is easier because of a
technology right now that we have yes
with live view camera yes what we see is
what you get with God feels light you
can actually learn lighting much easier
and easier control
yes on the other hand is have you will I
said do you watch movie watch TV shows
right do you think they use flash to
lead up those scenes of course not
constantly because it’s it’s not a frame
right we take pictures it’s a frame when
you’re watching movie you have to
continuously flash every 60 frames or 50
frames of the movie so you have to have
continuous light source so this is my it
might not be perfect it may not be legit
but this is how my view is when lighting
happens in paintings and then translated
photography it’s always natural light or
window light or we effective light okay
and then later on when it comes to
movies they create us a light right if
you like the office light until they
have come photography photography they
kind of came over flash yes photographer
you have a camera you want to go so you
have a flash on top camera keep moving
and that’s where flash comes in but
originally we talked about Lighting’s
like I always begin with natural light
or continuous like that you can base
your shape so LED is that older than a
flash you think about a continuous or
not LED feels light right but then at
some point if you want to create LED
Baghdad with condos like it it’s gonna
make you have you seen this all all
containers like oh yeah VDP and really
hot okay yes those are not good grow
they can make this now small actually
your small a small tiny LED which is
powerful
yeah so that it basically bring home
feels like back to the market right now
yes okay so the bank
imagine how that annoyed come back in
now it’s pretty scary but yes LED [ __ ]
it’s like not LED I’m sorry conscience
like is back because of Technology in
the LED form right right because so yeah
and before the reason why photographers
to use flash is because small flash
units are very compact lightweight but
what they do is they have capacitors in
there so they charge at the capacitor
and you do one burst of bright light so
that’s how they’re able to keep the size
down and be very power efficient and
provide you that one burst of light
because one shot is I need but now with
continuous light and the technology
you’re able to get that much power still
now with LED light so now you have the
benefit of a continuous light which
means you what you see is what you get
you can model with this light and and as
you light your subject photographers can
work with videographers too because the
light is shared between the
photographers and videographers so lots
of benefit of going with the continuous
light as well well also that now today
oh it’s like 10 years ago
if you a photographer you take photo
give me the video
you know when I mix right but yea
holiday people can take pictures and
think we at the same time because the
camera can do both right they call high
achievers if you only have flash and lit
up your video LED be a full NWO video
yes yep
yeah right right and just just like few
years ago actually LED technology has
been improved me so much because this a
few years ago LEDs weren’t bright enough
and the see our eyes weren’t high enough
so you didn’t have good colors with LEDs
like they always look off and it weren’t
a bright LED you the older version of
LED always caused a teen or green
quintile so it’s not good good not good
for photos no right I mean we’re just at
the beginning where LEDs is that
actually just started pick up and become
a very viable solution for photographers
so that’s where we are talking about LED
today because the technology is setting
up for the perfect combat for LED aka
continuous light to hit the photography
market the photography photographers
market as well as the videographer mark
it’s exactly so I personally been using
LED for a long while now so for example
this picture is actually lit by LED it
was no hot flash definitely cannot tell
you can’t wait now yeah look at her face
and the guys face the gradient of the
showers but if you look at the clothings
on the chest of the female yeah it has
how shallow because it’s a we confuse
you on doubt yes hot light source but
that’s actually what I wanted so I have
a lighting diagram on next I believe
yeah there you go you go see me see it’s
just one Lu on their person no I don’t
have to lead up everything cuz I want a
key create this like a movie and mystic
kind of moon in there
so one light is playing up and a lot of
people would like to put a backlight in
there but in this case who’s they
against the wall that’s not a good idea
because it may lead enough it’s the bulb
right and then it would kind of kill the
mood so in this case ironic a bit doc
can be moving with one light and the
result looks good because harsh light
exists in reality too because you’re
pretty much stimulating like a really
high noon like coming in through the
window
this is believable and whether it’s a
flash whether it’s LED or whether it’s
natural light I mean coming back to a
photographer our job is to make a
picture believable and use light however
we can to make the picture believable
and you’ve done it just as well with LED
in this picture as if you had used flash
or as if you had used natural light so
good job Oh also they have myths about
saying that abusive flash take a picture
the picture shopper which is true yes or
no yes it is yes but now the camera is
so good the lens that not just so good
it doesn’t really matter what light you
use you use a cell phone so right side
ELISA because you had a shop image so
okay maybe it’s God well I I would I
would challenge you because I think that
myth has advantage when you’re in dark
situation
right
so when you’re in a dark situation and
the flash fires really fast and instant
burst and turns off right away
you have a slow shutter speed which
normally if you have continues to light
the slow shutter speed being opened and
then closing will cause your image to be
blurry but even if the shutter speed is
open and takes the time to slow your
flash bursts right and freezes the
motion so that’s what they say flash
photography is sharper because in that
situation it can freeze action in that
one creation only yeah I would say
you’re wrong but the correct that to add
on to that is yes that with the film
photography yeah it translates you
digital people keep saying I had to use
the ISO 100 to take picture you see I
increased my ayah so I get noisy my
pictures
now that’s attack yes that’s what I’m
saying that would you tagged with all
the new technology right now I can
freakin shill a picture I think this one
here is at least 6400 ISO I’m telling ya
I wouldn’t be surprised because I yeah
so less that detect basically erase all
this milk right
oops very good you got up to
technologies right yeah cool let’s move
on to next feature oh I like this one
beautiful shot what’s the story behind
this one Jeremy I think I did a photo
walk for Sony back then and there this
is Vegas so they have Elvis surprise
surprise how do you I guess was Vegas
yeah tell Roman and like whole bunch of
some users it’s basically in there and
shooting so I was teaching how to use
the LED basically they have it’s just
laid on top has I got ceiling lay
already but it’s not fascinate you mean
look at the table there right that’s the
life on those it doesn’t look good so I
had I with I believe I have an umbrella
in front of it but
yeah please there you go I will use
umbrella or not right
it has one light source my sauce is
there so close enough that you know the
one I sauce is enough so and put a warm
gel even a bit and boom mm-hmm that’s
what you get yeah and I like that you
the light is more dominant on her
because you want your eyes to kindly
into her directly
so I say so we have one light that’s all
you need it is focused it doesn’t feel
problem you look at hurt your ass hurt
just like a mirror at some point if I oh
yeah it’s a speckle on here and also the
guy’s face yeah and again when you use
LED you can kind of adjust the power and
move the light accordingly because you
can see how much is reflecting and where
it’s reflecting versus with flash you
set up and the only time you see the
result is you fire a test shot right now
okay too much you move the flash here
fire a test shot move a move that flash
here and fire a test shot so the benefit
of having the LED here it’s just intense
because you can maybe what you’re
getting mmm
if you know there’s my pictures I when I
use the LED I don’t intends to use it
too bright up the host and oprahop oh my
gosh oh of them so that’s how movie
lighting looks like so my approach wanna
use LED is I wanted me make the movie
Lighting’s and that’s the image I want
to get not like like test shop or
contrast the viable powerful image but
movie image that has shadows had the
mood in it right and that’s why people
gravitate towards today because we live
in a world where video and movie
dominates our lifestyle so when we see a
picture that looks to like real life it
looks boring it looks like real life but
when the picture looks like a movie then
you kind of gains you that fantasy
worlds like oh this is like the actors
actresses and this this this moment is
passionate they’re sharing this love you
tell a story when the lighting looks
like cinematic lighting beautifully it
was how come I don’t use the word
cinematic but usable wise why cuz any
man to me is more like high-tech like
that way now have all this a 3d
animation that’s cinematic and when when
I see a lot of
for photographer the clients are using
cinematics and those are mostly edgy the
darker and has a colloquy is there but
when I say move because movie to me it’s
more like old-school I back there Oh
Hollywood like 3040 years ago and I do
it lighting is like amazing like me
about them so I wanted mimic those
old-school I think not a new trend how
they do the 3d animation once so I
always use the word movie over cinematic
I think I think I would definitely agree
with you and I like the old lighting
better because when I think in my head
like movie lighting I do think of the
old lady because today with modern
technology the same a gliding it’s not
too bright because they have the
advantage of making it like real so
realistic that now you don’t have the
movie like effect you have the realistic
effect which we don’t want because we
want to live in this fantasy world where
we have a look that looks like a movie
so it’s it’s an art form definitely but
we see some of those newest sitcoms that
they did prior the whole thing I have I
mean okay you know the really good with
side view you what I feel right but I’ve
a couple episodes and committed new ones
the colour is shifted it’s the new ones
much brighter while the back dance I
feel that it’s normal
yes will environment yes that’s what I’m
talking about yes yeah yeah it’s
definitely changing and let you know
everything that’s old is now trendy and
it’s unique and looks better because
it’s not so typical because everybody’s
doing the same thing where you want to
stand up in a crowd that’s when you go
back to something more to classic oh I
never follow trends trends comes it goes
yeah see what else we got here oh I love
this photo it’s right back in Kyoto at
the model you know you know what I call
those key model yeah kimonos so we could
put our key model and then basically we
have a guy holding a life phone I think
I have dagwon X on the left side mmm-hmm
just just one led yep just on the face
you see how her head is not even laid up
just
right did you have to use which called
the Fresno to get the spot-on
just make it very spotty hold on to get
that look I think that this is not even
an LED flashlight or a low-power reality
you could you could have yes a low-power
– mm-hmm yeah right right and like
normally if you were to get this kind of
light with a flash it’s hard because you
would have to guess new to really
control that light whereas usually LEDs
Tim tend to typically usually have a
narrower beam and if you need to like
you can add a component like this and
really focus the light and we have a
very narrow beam so that’s you know yeah
you have a paper nearby er yes I do
exactly yes but really nice use of light
here and because LED is low power you
could just a power low and you can focus
on just our face that gives me the sense
of focus right where the person’s where
we as a viewer of the image looks when
we look at the photo is where it’s lit
up the most and that’s her face and
that’s exactly where you want to draw
our attention to right Jeremy exactly
exactly you nailed it all right Wow
I love cars and I like this it’s nice
this one’s table you see how basically
the couple is kind of in between to your
car yes so maybe use a flash it’s just
gonna bang all over everywhere so right
mm-hmm
so you look at the next slide with that
lighting diagram you see where my
lighting is and basically that you I got
one normal I got one with the studio on
you can see if you look closely on the
kiosk and there you see a blue light and
always light there so that’s kind of you
create them lunch light right that’s
like probably the one with the color
temperature orange gel CTO yeah good and
then you see how the yeah on the left
light the reason I don’t put cor because
I don’t want to see their cats on the
car I don’t want to turn people down I
want to be able to go home so the CEO is
on the people and the other car sometime
you don’t just lead up a subject you
also ended up the fun one or the
background that’s well to cut a do
something about and that’s exactly what
I did here mm-hmm
yeah and I could see how our studies
LEDs light too because you know your
cell you know up next to the car she
wants up the compact and lightweight if
you don’t have you know umbrellas you
can have somebody hold this too because
they’re so small compact so I believe my
child with a black flash and flash
because it just be all over and it’s not
pleasant I mean it’s not a bad picture
but it’s not what I wanted right so
using these on LEDs had a much piecing
of than I expected so I really love this
yeah I mean you probably don’t really
consider this but LEDs are always easier
and quicker set up partially these are
smaller lightweight that’s one thing but
also what you see is what you get to so
pretty much you just kind of move it
around until it’s perfect and you just
lock it in there or your sisters this is
not deal with it this is a bit dumb oh
yeah so where’d you basically finishing
our photos at nighttime and we’re
walking to dinner and we saw this two
car just parking it and in their car
no so you can any quick right you got
the whole issue security and everything
I do quick no one says a word right but
if you start taking like five or seven
minutes then I start you know wandering
around and people are starting ask
question who are these why are they here
and then the owners of the car start
coming out like what’s this commotion
and you have a beach mess I mean if you
look at her clothing she seemed like a
more vintage look right and I look at
the car isn’t it perfect
see that car that’s pretty quiet spot it
we just spotted it’s good I couldn’t get
a picture of the car very cool
you’re making great use of these stellar
lights man c LX 8 IC LT means they’re
powerful and small enough yeah it’s
actually good
trouble yes perfect yeah cuz you took me
to Vietnam right and you have to worry
about security hassling you around and
sometimes you can just use them as this
you don’t need like a big diffuser
because as is you put this little dome
on you you get pretty good if you slide
already hmm very nice cool let’s move on
to next one we got here oh I love this
one the perspective here is very
refreshing you don’t see this kind of
perspective very often so this is in
Hong Kong I’m actually inside a Tremec
Attell yes so if you don’t get the tram
on the other side they have the
headlight right yes yes this fan ain’t
the extra stuff everything’s turned off
there’s no like italian sites no like so
even hell I set up there basically
holding there that’s so classy because
then I get the sense of urgency I get
the sense of this the tram moving
towards them but really the tram is shut
down in parked but you have to light on
because someone’s holding an LED light
you flash on this one I mean they don’t
they do stop they don’t stop a lot of
people yeah you know we did we’re going
to Quebec now that the captain say okay
that’s fine just as long as fast right
but flash right and just we create
compose a little bit and boom right
because you turn it on you could dial it
down dial it up and then you got your
shot you see what you get you fired
you’re done
works with flash you have to do a couple
of test shots and then movie light
around you a couple session and you have
to set it up so I see how LED light is
so efficient and gets the job done and
as a photographer on the runway
traveling it’s all that matters right
there’s a lot of debate between flash
and an LED and most people will talk
about all the power okay
and also the quality or whatever but
they may have never talked about the
usability and the reality will were when
you actually run around shooting picture
with Lighting’s yes they never put those
in count when they talk about flash and
when Comus tubes is it but you gotta
know your flash so you can sits nearly
in one shot site
yeah yeah I’m fishing for ten years I
can’t I can still turn that nail in one
shot
and if I could I could always make it
better because she’s never perfect
certain way you can’t you could either
use the teach it you know there the Sun
is not the change ya GPL or if you just
shoot that same style over and over and
over you know this but yeah image be
alright because you can’t do anything
new yes yeah this this these small
lights give you their flexibility and
brings back the ability for you to be
creative definitely a creative tool very
nice I’m curious do you have a picture
diagram oh there yes yes yeah there you
go
you pretty much explain it to us already
though very cool so what’s this about so
I actually taught live for a walk using
the stellar light in WPP I copied and
that’s a department yeah yes
so what oh hey look there’s you on the
right is that is that you not shooting
pictures but just holding the lights I
actually set up the life all is still in
two shoots cuz that’s one thing about
doing this when you have one like you
could have 10 20 people shooting at a
same yes yeah you don’t have to share a
trigger right right and that makes it so
easy for all the students to shoot at
once even iPhone user can shoot right
because that was [ __ ] yeah yeah I
wouldn’t be surprised it’s funny because
I see you in both these pictures and
you’re just basically setting up the
lights
that’s hilarious but here I see your own
sail is a CL x 8 or a CL x 10 year this
is bad that’s a Pheo extend actually
okay
oh okay it’s a bigger one you must know
they have that site 10,000 no but yes
you know this one is a smaller one right
this is the CLS mm yes right and over
here this is the CL X 10 again where’s
that okay so oh you got all over this
you’re the 10 the CL mm and there’s CL
x8 right cool
Hey very cool awesome oh and here’s a
behind the scene behind the scene
actually if you want something soft all
that you could actually put a softbox
there yes like right here I I think we
have a link down there for the softball
Tammy yes there is a link down there I’m
not going to tap on the link guys
because they’re just so many but the
first link is the light kit and as you
scroll through there’s a light the
softbox this office is not expensive but
it really adds marsha tality to your
light and then i say about these soft
boxes it’s pretty small compact so you
can probably collapse it is this one
collapsible Jeremy or did they have to
stay bake me you’re traveling no it
doesn’t collapse but right say small
from so there’s personal preference here
and there I tend to use umbrellas when I
can but with LEDs they sent to a fit
better in soft boxes because what the
happens is soft box wraps around this
and the LED is centered but this is a
small one and I think it’s like it’s
under 100 bucks it’s more like closer to
down below check it out yeah oh this is
the result right that’s the one of this
picture with the result in this photo
should we go with the game of foam frame
so yeah so we choose to do outdoor
shitty mm-hmm with the LEDs and create
movie Lighting’s cinematic could be V
Lighting’s
I can used in America now yeah Chris
Game of Thrones and that’s modern in the
lighting although they tried to try to
be quite good lady they have they are
good with the Lighting’s that really
good yes yes I remember yes then not all
TV shows or TV series have good lighting
thank you much did you watch this show I
watched a little bit here there I don’t
watch I don’t follow a whole lot but I
watch enough where I enjoy the lighting
I realize all the technical features of
this show very good watch the whole show
cool so that this must be a very
exciting for a walk for you yeah I gotta
say the light on her face is very smooth
and soft that’s one of these have
pop-out to me right
and also like her her hands aren’t too
bright and definitely the part where the
sword is it’s not reflective too like so
again it’s focus on our face and it’s
very subtle and soft so for this base if
it does start busting people looking to
be a period switch on that so you have
like a lab at lighting back there behind
the trees yes I have some hair light
that’s where I’m from so okay again all
LEDs lighting her up right so when you
set up LED light yeah the steady and
flash is similar to be honest it’s
almost the same it doesn’t change any
but the only thing you can say and you
can’t see the light with flash that’s
pretty much it yeah and then you can
share the light because you can stop all
the slide and all your students can
shoot they can see which means they
learn why the lights are set that way
and you can turn them off right away you
see that effect and then once it’s all
set up they can shoot the pictures and
you can see well that’s pretty easy
because you set the lights up man you
shoot right with flash it’s always a
guessing game that you have to really
know where to set the light before you
can step back and take the picture
that’s the reason why I’ll talk about
when I teach lighting it’s yes it’s at
each LED light when you learn Lighting’s
it’s easier because you see it you know
you made me stay you change it but gonna
do flash or most people care about it or
worry about is that there’s a trigger
yeah this is it flash you not lit up my
subject they don’t they don’t care where
the light lands yeah when it comes to it
yes and see it you learn cuz we don’t
even know the light it’s not about
making the light flash yes it’s about
what you put the light a lot of you miss
that big big ones yes I I would say yes
where you put the light is sucking –
that is how much power of the light – so
both of those are very important same
for here – yeah right yeah exactly both
for them and then that’s why you can
teach lighting with LED much better
because lighting the principle is the
same whether it’s flash where this LED
or whether it’s actually natural light
you just have to know how to use a light
that’s like ultimate of all like before
you even buy these lights
you should have a good understanding of
how to step lights and how to use them
but against my students are learning LED
lights makes the easier
because you can see exactly where the
light is and the results of it is before
you actually step back and take your
photo
yeah but fortune why not when you say
when you go go online or going days but
learn and later people instant thing oh
let’s learn how to use a flash but
learning lighting is more than that yes
I agree
yep oh so now I go so I really like this
one this one’s actually mixing with the
ambient light which is sunlight with le
try and all that scatters don’t quit
this level we oil painting you’re saying
yeah I love it
did you add like textures or to use the
background on the walls pretty much it
though it’s kind of boring
yeah no it completes the picture the
texture does add to the picture really
nice well here’s the clx oh sure I use
obviously I have to see how X 10 which
is 10,000 Newman because well the good
thing is the charging time is only
templates in five minutes for 45 shorter
but because it drags more power that’s
kinda make sense yes the C is the co
inti is the same as the co x8 to come up
with temperature is also the same the IP
weight is always the same is here the
only difference is it charge faster less
Ivan five minute less use time and then
it’s 10,000 new months yeah and
basically when people look at IP rating
at 54 they might not realize what it is
but basically it’s like splash-proof you
can actually shoot when there’s water
misty water coming down or light rain
and it should be fine because you just
blow off the water
I just don’t submerge in water because
it’s water-resistant not waterproof if
you need waterproof not this one but
yeah yeah it’s water resistant now so
the CL x8 is water resistant IP 54 is
resistant you can have a little moisture
on it you can have a little splash of
water here and there it’ll be fine but
you cannot submerge in water so the CL
mm the small one this one is IP 68 and
it comes as part of the kit with DC lx8
that we have linked
below and this this one is waterproof up
to one meter deep for like 30 minutes
and shockproof too so I kinda like this
way I don’t water full of [ __ ] yeah and
they use that line in white so it’s
pretty cool yeah this thing opens up a
whole new world underwater because you
have lighting and now you’re underwater
underwater photography will never be the
same again with something compact and so
robust and durable and powerful as this
little sucker here and plus you can use
on land too you can use underwater or on
that and then very good entire
environment yeah if you think about it
it’s great for very dusty environment
like if you’re out the desert and you
want you to run cars around where dust
and mud flies around you want to capture
that rustic you know monster truck there
splashing everywhere all over the camera
this would be fine even if this thing
gets knocked down it’s really durable to
it you can drop this from a meter above
and hit the concrete and oh yeah it
survived super puzzle yeah not that
again dropping right I know it’s a job
right thank right right but on a table
so just kind of put it into perspective
with the CL x10 here you have more power
five times more powerful than this guy
but it’s not waterproof and the battery
drains a little bit quicker so different
different LEDs for different purposes
when you need more power versus when you
need more versatility to be whi proof by
the resistance and whatnot so the kit
that we have linked below has a CL x8
which is a little bit less powerful than
the cx-10 but it also comes with two CL
mm so you have a good combination there
we call it the portrait kit but if you
need a lot of power
they say x10 is what you have and right
now currently Amazon doesn’t carry it
but if you click on the link below it
should give you an idea of what they
have and once they do carry it the link
below will take you to the related
lights to hopefully Amazon will have it
soon CL x10
it’s pretty pretty awesome line when you
need a lot of power so oh yeah here so
CL x8 you can see it’s got 8000 lumens
so a little bit less than the steel x10
get the same CRI same TLC I charged I
was one of five minutes and
a little more than still change good
color temperature again the color
temperature is consistent between all
three lights the CL 10 CL 8 SEL mm
because we use them all together you
want them to have the same color
temperature so everything’s consistent
right and then of course ip54 again
water-resistant not waterproof and of
course you have my favorite which the
one I have my favorite tooth oh yeah
and this and it’s so nice it’s like you
know you have something so smart
precious but it works so well and you
can hold it you can squeeze it well
that’s just light for me – that’ll do
days yeah endure I know you can use this
one use that one because here and
sometime I want a spotlight effect so I
have that system happen like that um one
wants to come like that yeah really high
this has some weight in it that one’s
really light I could have her like it
was a female
I can still have her a hold up really
high like heavily high right it’s not
that bad so that one’s perfect
I can have a look at a spotlight you
felt that don’t my offense is perfect
yes oh
cameras so for the photo shoot the photo
up there I mean is Fuji X TV and a 35
point for equated to around 50
millimeters yes so that’s my favorite
set up yep and you get the links for
these items are down below I’m not going
to click to them actually you know what
I might just click this one little click
back to it lets you know people ask me
how come I don’t yeah 85 kind of range
to should portrait not that I don’t like
it it’s just that I have a soft voice
mmm when I have 85 had to stand further
away from the subject and I think I’m
Way too complicated subject that way so
that’s why 50 and in the co-op’s has a
further 5 millimeter range it’s my
favorite because i could still talk to
myself shaking yeah yeah exactly it’s a
good stance studying distance oh man we
actually had some question from
here I’m actually surprised because I
actually have a min monitoring the last
treatment I’m sorry Adam I didn’t see
your questions come in about them yeah
so Adam asked isn’t it a bit harsh I
think he was probably referring to like
the the Shastras shot in the stairs and
sometimes you do want harsh light
because you simulate the actual
environment because in real life you do
have harsh light like for example in
noontime when you have bright light
coming down from the windows shooting in
its harsh light so sometimes it’s it’s
edgy it’s not bad to have if you want to
of course he asked do these light work
with umbrellas and soft boxes absolutely
are universal for anything umbrellas are
my favorite because you can collapse
them and you could carry them and we
need to you can pull it out it’s a big
light source soft boxes which we have in
a link below that works as well too he
also has another question in the light
that portrait kid is a one light or too
light very good question
it’s it’s not as clear as it should be
but yes to like the one at Jeremy holds
the CL 8 and the small one that I’m
holding the CL mm so both these lights
come in the portrait kit yep you’re
right the ami shows too and that’s why
there’s two lights and then yes so Chen
LAN Xang ask the same question so
hopefully that answers the question for
both of you and man at the last comment
adam said they don’t seem to be
answering questions so I’m bouncing I’m
sorry I’m really sorry it was my fault
you still won whoo-hoo country I have
this huge iPad on the side you guys
can’t see it but for some reason it’s it
tells me I’m going live but I cannot see
the the messages so sorry about that I
do apologize I’ll be watching the screen
right now so that I can make sure we
answer all your questions
so moving on again this is this is the
camera that Jeremy uses the it’s a Fuji
XT 3 which we have highlight there it’s
a nice affordable camera and combined
with this 35 millimeter because you have
a crop sensor equivalents to about
equivalent to about 50 millimeter which
is a good focal length to be able to
capture
it’s pleasing but you’re also in a good
distance so that you could talk to your
client without yelling and you have a
good communication because you no matter
all the lights all the camera equipment
the communication with your subject is
the most important because if they can’t
type in vision then you can’t get your
shot well what’s that would you hear me
I said that’s my favorite set up yes yes
yeah can’t live without it
very nice so the lens I’m also tapping
on tooth just so you know that’s a 35 so
we got some pictures too so go back to
that last one it just this is not a
lighting setup for that pictures oh yes
no the picture you know what you know
which one all the way back to this one
right just right and then let’s see how
Jeremy has set it up behind has seen so
that’s the wall basically outside it
just moved the next ones fastest fasters
okay yeah yeah so basically you can see
a bait that’s outside is it Vegas yes
outside the Sun is right so yeah so I
have a little half shady every there and
so you see that I have that Co extent
outside you as one of the key light out
there so because the sonic scream of
course I use the most powerful out there
and then and then the CL to thousands on
this side as a feel like you can see on
her face just I just need to open up
just a little bit I don’t need to clear
out the child I want to shout right back
yeah so I just feel that a little bit
yes but then at first
I feel like okay her neck and she this
it’s gone so I have my assistant you see
how he’s holding a softbox with Nico x8
in there he has the lowest power and
just come from down there it’s just a
feel up the chin and the thing about to
create that look so you see her skins
you can see her details but you also see
the harder and a shout at the same time
mm-hmm very nice yeah very good use of
lighting and I love the highlights and
shadows because if the light is bright
everywhere you don’t have a sense of
depth right like right the way I’m
gliding myself right now you can see I’m
brighter here and darker here because I
want you to have the perception of depth
because it’s more pleasing and is
exactly what Germany uses he uses the
breyer light on in conjunction with the
bright Sun on that side too to give it
the nice highlight and then we have 2 CL
mm just to kind of light up the other
side of the shadow of the shadow and
then right below it is the other CL 8 in
a softbox to kind of light up her neck
too so very very nice setup good use of
lighting that’s why you have to have
multiple light source right you can’t
have this one really good light and
that’s all you have but you need to know
what lights you have you to use them
accordingly to produce your image Oh
movie not so B sighs these teaching
environments I also do that with my Fido
you know sup – so this is San Francisco
City Hall and you see the Lighting’s out
there I have I believe I have the cx8
and also this well the portrait kids so
I have to say expect there as a key
light because I put on this so I have a
distant get shot on the back and then I
have my assistant holding I don’t let my
Susan to hold this this is too much this
is too heavy so they always hold
um actually that’s not know my sister
that’s my wife double role she’s my
sister she’s my sister just holding the
co mm there huh I feel like for the face
[Music]
yes and a shooting with a Fuji GFX 50
our medium Mills Mena format cameras Wow
I could I knew something was up with
this photo when I looked at it because
the the shallow depth of field behind
her it’s just it’s so pleasing in a way
that I usually don’t see when I take
pictures it’s acting like that I’m using
a hundred and ten millimeter f/2 lens
for medium format which you availa to be
informative about 87 millimeter so the
portrait lens yes but the depth of you
immune format is a
different than a full-frame so yes it
just can’t tell why but it’s different
right so I’m gonna highlight the medium
format camera so you guys can see it’s
not that expensive that’s a medium
format but hey here’s a trick you see
the one that we have link below that’s
for a new one but if you search Amazon
you couldn’t unlink it will link you to
a used one and you can get the pretty
cheap from Amazon too so it’s I think
it’s coming from Fuji Factory – so make
sure you check who the seller is but
often times we see they use GFX 50 which
is a medium format camera for like half
that price so check that out yeah yeah
check that out if you’re interested in
medium format camera because Fuji really
introduced them to the market and made
them very price competitive so look at
the results you can get with that camera
I mean it speaks for itself it’s just a
little bit more expensive than a
full-frame camera but not a whole lot so
it’s quite affordable it puts you on a
whole different league right
you know everyone yeah yeah you know you
have a lot of people shooting crop and
then yeah oh the full-frame shooters
right
well the full-frame shooters are like
the crop shooters when you talk to the
medium for haircuts we’re not talking
about that here so let’s talk about
photo from the same session also was the
tf-x fifty out and the liked of course
obvious beautiful I love how she’s so
playful in into the shoot because even
with the great lens the great lighting
if you have a motto that can really
interact and you can capture personality
like you did here it really makes a
photo one step above actually the
picture on the right there is that
action photo so I just have her keep
moving kicking a swinging address and
then the lights constant I just keep
clicking and capturing and this is a
good frame that I got yeah very nice I
love it it’s it captures just the right
expression and the right motion and it
has a sense of motion in it too
ooh so this is this right here now we
got a shooter set up 650 ah medium
format and also the GF
my god
ultimate portrait session yeah the best
you can buy for a portrait I mean I will
I won’t say I’ve had experience with it
but if Jeremy’s say this I actually have
a lot of faith in it because Jeremy’s
been shooting for 15 years as a
professional wedding photographer
destination pre wedding photographer
he’s been using all different equipments
he’s been ambassador for different
brands everything if he tells you this
is the best medium format portrait setup
I will believe him I feel like you put
me on the table here man
don’t what well if he says is a good
setup maybe read the reviews there but I
know it’s a good setup I love it I love
it because for the GFX 58 they actually
make two version that 50s is the
profession means it’s actually more PV a
bigger and 50 out it our stack should
stand for wet rope so it’s like a even
it’s a medium format but it’s like a
retro rangefinder type camera so
established I’m Samuel I have a hipster
type so I love the setup one thing fix
out to me a lot when look at this medium
for my camera is that it looks I can’t
tell how big it is but it doesn’t look
it doesn’t look bigger than my typical
camera or is it I might I’m being
confused because there’s nothing to
compare to right in this picture mmm I
would say it’s a little bit smaller than
a can i won t eggs oh really okay cuz I
shoot with the county one DX and that
thing is a monster it’s full frame but
if this is medium format and smaller
that’s a win-win very cool so again the
link for the camera lens is right below
and then this is a beautiful it looks
like a sunset photo with the light it is
such that it is sunset for so just
l-like
savings ten also like I said it’s
powerful enough that you should outdoor
with to go against the Sun this is a
sunset picture the Sun is behind and I’m
using the light
– yes I feel like in the fun so it just
I’m telling you
constantly is powerful enough now yes
and you know normally it’s very
difficult to shoot this picture in
bright Sun because the depth of field is
very shallow that means you have to open
you up your aperture a lot to get this
shallow depth of field that Tommy’s got
here yeah right this is I know this is
one pawn oh yeah
so if you’re shooting at one point for
you you better have some big ND filters
out there if you want to use your flash
but it because he’s using these
continuous LED lights you can control
the brightness with the shutter speed
and don’t have to be stuck with sync
speed so I want to say oh really my bad
I’ll pretend you say you can say it
again no you keep building yeah
so exactly like what are the best
features of these LEDs is like when I
shoot outside and I want to shoot
shallow depth of field and I want to
open up my lens to get that shell
doesn’t feel I don’t want to spend time
screwing on any filter just so I can
stop it down to have the darkness from
the ND filter but still get that wide
open aperture right it’s kind of hard to
imagine if you don’t shoot out the fill
or you’re not very familiar with
apertures and
setting a camera that way but just note
that this have a shot to shoot with
flash it’s very difficult unless you
have a lot of ND filters but with LED
lights you’re able to control your
shutter speed and still like your your
subject and still keep the shout depth
of field so in a nutshell if you
understand why I said great if you don’t
understand don’t worry you’ll eventually
understand it because you’ll want to
shoot something like this this looks
really amazing shot up the field against
the sunset I’ll leave as that mm-hmm yep
okay yep so proof that you are using
that’s it this is the LX 8 or is that
the 10 there’s a 10 so you can see how
the highlights on the face the ashes is
lit up so you know that it’s powerful
you know yeah situation absolutely yep
very nice beautiful yep and that’s the
extent yeah
yes 10 10,000 lumens you’ve got 45
minute runtime same color temperature as
the other lights IP rating 54 which
missus what what weather resistant so
splashes are okay light missus okay but
don’t submerge in water yet the good CRI
as TLC I both of them above 90 which
means they’re true to natural light so
when you liked any subject with these
lights what you see is what you
naturally see when you like your
subjects with the Sun so quit CRI means
it looks like the sun’s lighting it
so that’s the signal X 10 and then
here’s your let’s talk about there’s
some situation the LED has a better
benefit than others Lighting’s so here’s
summer situation the next slide please
yes so so for this to take you on the
left one it is some kind of Temple which
[ __ ] Joe is sunset so then closing and
I have to bus that light that’s setup we
D fast so he’s using how II D you know
you know this is the problem someone is
location they close we the early but you
you see how the sunset behind it you
want that kind of trial I sunset yeah
it’s always had the unto the close
around there yeah it’s like it’s perfect
lighting why are you kicking me out that
hole it’s always crushing at the last
minute because you want to wait for the
sky to turn light yeah before you take
pictures but absolutely be a one or two
minute got kick out yeah so yeah LED is
perfect because what you see is what you
get you see a picture you take it let’s
go
it’s so compact you put it up you can
set it up quickly you fire it what you
see is what you get and you go and also
some of these locations security is
always a hassle DC is sending up light
stands and take me your time
number one it’s bulky so that captures
their attention and number two you’re
there fooling around with the darn thing
for a couple of minutes that also
captures your attention because you can
take a quick picture and you’re fine you
just go but if you take your picture and
you set up your flash everything now
you’re creating
a hazard for other people tripping
hazard you’re creating like a mess a
sore thumb people that come there want
to see the architecture but instead they
have to look at you and they’re your big
umbrella at all your four-degree right
so the longer you at one spot is it’s
not it’s not good for anyone right your
client loses trust in you you don’t have
the credibility as shooting perfected
photos quickly you have security guards
on your tail and you know years I have
all these passengers walking around that
can potentially trip or caused problems
around you too so the faster you take
the picture is better and we all like
these you can set up and move yes
exactly
so with the new you know that’s there
yes I think that’s a time that they
actually don’t want people to shoot
there even at nighttime they’ll close so
they have police officers
I mean yeah to it around and kick so you
just want to get there like give me that
two three minutes it there post yeah and
get the lighting right and boom get a
picture and get out give me half an hour
selfie all your flash off your class
about waiting there you know it’s
impossible so you don’t have to you want
to get good picture in there that’s what
you do yes yeah back in the days when I
didn’t have LEDs when I was there crunch
like this why really dis I got my cell
phone out and I use whatever cell phone
like I have it those are never powerful
enough this is like easily I don’t know
like a hundred times were prior than the
cell phone lights I can don’t quote me
on that but just know that this is
sufficient whereas my cell phone lights
was never so getting a shot like this I
understand how critical it is in that
short time span where you shouldn’t even
be there shooting but you can still pull
off and take a shot yeah it’s impressive
alright okay so this one is connected to
that shot I had before the trap so we
have to get on the track this time is a
moving trap okay yes now do you think
you see if there’s a shoes Nick’s on the
right side doesn’t have a passenger’s so
no oh oh wow yeah oh there’s too much
man
yes you don’t want to and it crazy late
in there so I have a LED on top just
kinda like how like a ceiling light on
top like that right there basically
picking up yeah exactly
then walking down the stairs and then
just a fro stare and look up and you
look down and give me this applause and
it’s you know that what if you feel how
to pose and one shot and I get out of
station what an excitation right and
that’s professional
you’re always liable for damages and
hurting people so yeah if you can’t you
probably can’t even step on lights that
in a scenario environment it but if you
could just imagine if that’s lights that
ever gets knocked over it hits em on
your head oh man your career if you
don’t have to write insurance could be
at risk because you you know you always
have to be worried about having big
equipment bulky equipment so with LEDs
it lemonade’s that worried because you
can always just hold it in your hand get
the shot and move your quick right and
also if you’re like climbing stairs the
flights are just a movie along quickly
in different locations
it’s so much easier if they just carry
something heavy I mean it’s like when
you’re in high school you’re carrying a
backpack float books right now you can
carry your iPad so okay let’s not talk
about this one first so I was something
to want to share yeah you know there’s
feel the same that’s okay so there is
people saying that okay you’re not
supposed to photograph in the public yes
right well okay the reason it that’s a
lot of pop fashion photographer have
three or four or 40 inches soft past
like landing on the pavement and yeah
you know blocking a lot of you take that
photo that’s correct they won’t let you
know the city won’t let you do that
right but we have a cell phone you have
a camera we take care we take picture
anytime anywhere yeah right yes oh
you’re not blocking people you’re not
destructive yes you could basically take
with you anywhere on exactly where now
it doesn’t mean ever is so small right
mighty xdv so small is handheld it and
have a LED you could take professional
stories cinematic detector anywhere yes
it’s just we have it
he was softbox that don’t get those
off-campus pictures that of course
I have nothing to say me that’s you want
but if you just want to take pictures
yeah yes yes just just don’t be
destructive
it’s that way exactly it’s not real
quick and you don’t have a lot of book
equipment they’re not gonna bother you
too much again the most important thing
is be quick and don’t have bulky
equipment because pretty much you see
guess shooting with their own
point-and-shoot all time nobody says
anything right because they don’t
they’re not bulky and they don’t you
don’t take time to set up right and
that’s what LEDs are laughs oh I should
stop to answer a Sofia this question so
Sofia also has a question I don’t know
what question you have Sofia you just
said that
so do I so I guess you probably curious
about what lights come with the portrait
kit right so Jeremy how many lights do
we have in the portrait kit it comes
with a co x8 and also what day we had it
just CL mm too late
so the portrait kit comes with these two
lights as well as a bunch of accessories
so you’re good to go
both the lights have hi see our eyes
both the lights are 5600 Kelvin they
have built-in battery the bigger one is
weather resistant the smaller one is
impact resistant and also water proof up
to one meter down deep for half an hour
so you have nice versatility with these
two lights they’re good to sell for
portrait sessions yep so hopefully I
answered your question Sofia if I didn’t
answer your question if we didn’t answer
your question feel free to ask again so
we’ll try our best
alright next slide ready Jeremy good
yeah I really like this picture so
here’s another scenario yeah well you
have a leaf at the surface like glass of
mirror and you put your subject next to
it and you try to use the flash so it’s
gonna be very difficult to get the image
because you don’t want any of those
light to affect from that glass yes
so if you look at my planning diagram
which is the next slice yep so you see
how I have two LED there and then have a
I’ve been if those are magazines ever
used but now I have to use this in
holding a magazine blow the light off
from the glass yes just on the subject
just on the subject so that way the
glass will have no affection that I
could clearly see that the landscape –
like the life my scenes outside imagine
the bride right because if you look back
here you can see a beautiful light scene
back there because if you had flash
glaring off the glass then you can see a
bright white light and not the nice city
seemed very cool and also the barn doors
might help with the Katrina light boat
yeah Maggie’s yeah under with that no
yeah but I think the magazine has an
advantage of just being even a little
bit longer so depending on the purpose
but at least if you had the barn doors
it would help for sure Sophia asked if
there are any promotional codes
unfortunately there are no promotional
codes but Amazon always has the best
prices so stick around check out the
list below and just keep your eyes on it
because over time they do go and sell
these lights they are really great high
quality so they’re not the cheapest
lights but you do get what you pay for
they’re high quality they’re very robust
and they’re very compact and great for
on the spot on the go shooting high
quality lights and also coming from a
brand that’s specialized in underwater
at weddings right so they know how to
build rugged equipment so you get that
benefit – so yeah I think they’d be
light for divers – so you can imagine
how doable those qualities are yes so
high quality lights and just like in
general with LED lights it really helps
lower the learning curve and helps you
create amazing photography using light
and easy so it allows you to easily
separate lights quickly without the
bulky gear so you can spend the time to
capture a shot quickly and get out there
and allow us in that just opens the door
to shoot any more location it’s like on
the bus or in areas where normally
professionals can’t
set up because it just costs too much
disruption but both the equipment taking
time causing an eyesore for the guests
so if you’re quick and you got
lightweight equipment you can get the
shots and that’s what LEDs can do for
you cool
so hopefully the answers your question
in Sofia if it doesn’t let us know if
you have any questions I feel that this
is a last slice so that’s another thing
this is Osman Venice again this is that
night time I’m not sure people he’d be
gonna lick slice oh yeah thinks I would
that’s the last one
yeah so this is for Ian it’s just oldest
company in the world
so is historic yes basically the light
again sighs amazing so you don’t want
any powerful light it overcome all that
so we just used a little arrow EDD yes
it’s just moiety they’re like they’re to
leave them up so mmm this is the one
it’s a variation to LED over top flash
yes yes the painting they don’t want
poeple flash the qaul that those are
vintage paintings in there so yeah so
then this carrot they don’t let it use
flash photography and so the LED is
inside inside there inside outside so
for the house but it’s interesting that
the LED didn’t clear against the class
I’m surprised man remember well no this
is open window or is there a glass in
front of them it’s no glass it’s open
its open okay but the other side the
left and right glass so okay yeah I see
now I see now this is where LED
transflash because it’s very subtle you
just need a little bit power you don’t
want to just read the light everywhere
you want to just have low power in a
very control area of light very cool
beautiful yep and that’s conduct there
you go I mean personally I work mint you
want to start doing portraits this setup
of the kid was just too light with all
that sensory
well allows you didn’t create a lot of
amazing portraits so I would every start
with this kid yeah I mean this kit comes
with everything you need to get started
again very high quality lights
compact durable they have the built-in
battery their weather resistant the
small one is water resistance up to one
meter for 30 minutes and once you charge
up you have a lot of juice to go for
small one can last nearly an hour the
other one can last about 55 minutes so a
lot of power you got a flexibility you
got options and again just the basic
principle takeaway is where you have LED
lights they’re compact and they’re also
what you see is what you get so the
combination of them being compact and
what-you-see-is-what-you-get allows you
to quickly set up set up take your
picture and get the heck out there so it
opens the door to shooting in a lot of
other locations normally that you cannot
shoot because you can’t carry bulky
equipment and it takes time to sell bulk
equipments to those locations so that’s
pretty much in a nutshell let’s zoom in
on us here so like wow you’re kind of
blurry I guess that the resolution is
cutting a little bit yeah I gotta check
mine too so again I hope you guys
