A short guide on creating a do-it-yourself backdrop for photography purposes.
I am an amateur photographer, even more so green with video and not a "handy" person. This project was simple to work on and can be done by anyone with the inclination.

This Video is all about Soft Boxes. There are many misconceptions about what Soft Boxes do and how to use them. This is the scientific look at the area of coverage and light quality of the different sizes of Soft Boxes. Using this knowledge you will find it easier to decide which size Box to use to achieve your desired lighting result. After this lesson you should know what size of Soft Box to buy and the basics of how to use it. Thanks to Photoflexhttp://www.photoflex.com/ for providing the Boxes for this test. There is much to learn on this subject so we will visit it again. Keep on click'n! Jay P.

In this lesson we will look at lights that don't have any soft boxes or light modifiers. I used heads with reflectors only. In the right setting and with the right subject this can look very good. We did cheat and use 3 pieces of foam core and one umbrella, but looking back now we could have not used the umbrella and been fine. We were shooting Katie Lohmann for a different shoot and she suggested the super Girl outfit. At first I was a little reluctant until I looked at some comic book art and started to see the shot. Things came together and the thought of shooting with hard light was very appealing to me. I was very happy with the outcome.
The video was shot on the Canon 5D, 7D and using Red Rock micro rigs.
3 light Portrait part 2. We are now going to add special effects to push a 3 light portrait into a Jay P. Morgan explosion photograph. Editing by Adam Consolo.
This is the first in an on going series of Videos that I will post showing how I light and create images. My goal is to not just show the behind the scenes of my work but to provide easy to follow instructions on how to create the lighting you see. No guessing or trying to figure it out. It is clear.
This is s simple 3 light Portrait lesson that shows the basics of a 3 light set up to photograph a person.
Part 2 will show how I use special effects and a couple of more lights to push the shot a little farther.

Remember the Egg! Before you can learn 'how" to light, you must learn how to 'SEE" light. Joe Edelman walks you through a defining moment in his career and how a simple egg, changed the way he approached lighting and photography forever.
Hands will make or break your shot in a heartbeat. Generally a woman's hands should appear graceful. You want to achieve a soft, elegant and natural position of the hands so that they do not become a distraction.
Angled wrists and claw like fingers are things that we generally would not notice when we watch a pretty girl in person, but preserve them in a photograph and they suddenly become a distraction that will take away from your subject's natural beauty.
