I highly recommend watching his videos to learn a variety of photography techniques.
In this post I would like to talk about his single light portrait and how the direction of the light affects the outcome of the photo.
Tina's goth tinker bell outfit looked excellent by the way! Matt didn't get the outfit but the Gull understood just fine!
Matt this will be short and painless as possible. He uses pocket wizards to trigger a yongnuo yn-560 with a shoot-through umbrella. People often send feedback and comment that his photos are too dark, but Matt prefers his photos moody and a little underexposed.
So next he decides to try some Rembrandt lighting. Light slightly off to one side. With Rembrandt lighting you get the little triangle light on the facing cheek and the shadow on the opposite cheek.
Shooting straight on her face creates what he calls a very flat image and no light sculpting. Next he uses the "Halloween" light which sits in front and just below Tina's waist level. A good position for the Gull, but not for lighting to be.
Next he decides to remove the shoot-through umbrella and use the bare flash. "You're going to blind me?" Tina says. Matt say yes he is going to do just that. Well at least he is honest.
Lol, he actually calls beautiful Tina model a Tranny, with man hands! Ah this guy has my rolling with laughter! The bad part is I can kind of see that in that particular photo! You look like a man from Thailand Tina! Not really, just kidding.
Anyway Matt Granger, this is what I thought of your single light portrait video. I told you this would be short and painless. Hello Tina, the Gull is a big fan of yours. More reviews to come!
