Lighting set up
These tutorials are from a recent commercial editorial shoot with Shay for the clothing label Essua. Peter only uses 1 light and is able to get 4 completely different looks by changing the placement of the light! This is followed by a tutorial showing how to cull photos down to a 20 image selection and retouching.

This was so incredibly informative… From the lighting setup, to testing the different modifiers for the look you wanted, the camera settings, the settings you played with in Phocus! Thanks!
I’m glad you enjoyed we have some more coming soon
Awesome! I’m trying this set up on my shoot today 🙂
Hope your shoot went well Stephen 🙂
Peter I love you, You are so inspiring! 😀 Wau!!
Would be nice to hear your thought’s about fast focus. Thanks!
Thanks heaps. Do you mean cameras and lens that focus fast? I’m half way through doing a tutorial on focusing, it will be up in the next month or so
Grreat, looking forward to see that one! I have an old Hassel H5D-60 and I’m using true focus or manual and I think I’m so slow with focusing. When model moves a lot are you using (around f8) true focus or continuous and maybe if model doesn’t move closer or further away there’s no need to refocus to shoot faster? Where do you focus in different scenarios? With aperture 2.2 or 2.8 or even 5.6 close distance if focusing on eyes I have noticed that the true focus is many times off so I’m using more manual and that’s slow for me.. Just have to practice that more 😀
Thanks!
