    This is the second episode in a video series that delves deep into how I execute creative portraits in my studio. In this episode I cover the following setups:

    • Using a projector as light source
    • Customizing images to project onto my subject
    • Balancing a projected image on my subject with a strobe on the background and a slow shutter speed to create vibrant, kinetic images
    • Projecting custom images as a background
    • Balancing a projected image on the background and a strobe on my subject with a slow shutter speed to create kinetic, vibrant images
    • Customizing the projected image to my subjects features
    • Using a custom snoot on my subject and projecting images through fog to create a colorful haze
    • Using a gelled LED on my subject and a strobe on my background with a slow shutter speed to get subtle, painterly results
    • Shooting the reflection on a cracked mirror to get a prismatic result
    • Bouncing a light into a cracked mirror to reflect the shape of the cracks onto my subject
    • Using mylar to create warped reflections of my subject
    • Adding water drops to mylar to create an added layer of texture
    • Shooting through an air filter to create textured, painterly images
    Once I begin breaking down a certain technique, my camera and light settings are displayed on the screen along with real-time raw files to make it easy to follow along. I also take you through how I color grade the file in Lightroom.

    Thanks -
    I still show (or explain) to peeps about back-button focusing . . . and it's a game-changer for them (depending on what they are shooting, of course) . . . :cool:
