Shoot: Simple Set, Natural Light

So we have, like I said, um, awesome set designer. Thank you, nico. Um, I'm sorry. Not nico, that kallio and, um, I really wanted to do stuff that could be easily replicated and super budget oriented. Um, are the students gonna come over what we're gonna do here? Okay. Marnie, look so good. Oh, my lord. I need that to get up. So, what are we doing here? The fifty. Okay ways you remind me already a hundred two hundred to you already did it already. Dang john cornyn chandler since yesterday. So I'll test it may be okay. The eighty five two you've got the other lenses. Thank you. You look so teo, you great. All right? I'm just gonna turn this or john, will. John, will you turn that for me? So I don't break my back. So basically, we're gonna cover lighting equipment tomorrow. So I thought for today's shoot, we wanted to shoot today we're going mostly focus on natural light and working with natural light, which is ninety percent of what ideo I add in the strobe and sometimes a video light i...

f I really, really need it or just to create some variety, but I'm so in love with natural light, and I feel like, gosh, you know if I could make that work I'm going teo especially because with a non model it's just not intimidating not fussing with my lights and focusing on her because she needs a lot of coaching um and uh so did I ask john, could you do me a favor please? You're miked up now, okay, awesome yeah I get up here with me can you turn the chair so it's facing the light so I really love light and shadow I like I said started out drawing my dad taught me how to the shadow and tells you where the light is so I really love lots of shadow I'm not a photographer who's got like three lights hitting something and trying to like fill everything um I sometimes I don't even really work with a reflector a lot I have been lately um just to get a little more catch light in the eye but most often like I'll go on a shoot with just myself a lens, a girl and natural light and make it work and part of the fun is just, you know, finding howto flatter and finding ways to create variety. All right, would you mind city now so I could take a light test? I really I'm testing like that alright, awesome so I'm shooting with the fifty by the way and I'm on eight hundred don't step back yeah remind me of that because I know everybody wants to know settings right? He said that um shooting at I s o eight hundred speed two hundredth and two point oh, I pretty much live between two point oh, and two point eight rarely do I go down or above that only when I'm forced to meaning like bythe circumstances um gosh, I am so gonna fall through bring the letter around to the back here is just a quick one thank you for yes is a little bit hot it is brighter than yesterday for sure so then I'm going to change my eyes so down because I don't need all that much so maybe I'll try it at five hundred and she was right about there that's a little dark by the way I have to give a shout out to lens prote ago they hooked me up with this equipment oh my gosh, marnie look awesome!
