Thanks for sharing!
I really like taking portraits and because I still don’t have the money to buy some studio equipment it’s really helpful to get some impressions how professionals work in such situations.

Thank you so much for sharing this video. Really love the look of these images and has helped me understand how to get a beautifully soft light in my shot.

Really appreciate when people spend their own time to help others.

Bert, first off, thank you for giving back to others the talents you have been blessed with. I sure enjoy watching your ambient light video (over and over) and am trying to duplicate the technique of my subject being exposed and my background being black. I’m 53 yrs old and really just trying photography out as a hobby. I have a 40D with a 50mm 1.8, but I haven’t succeeded in making my subject exposed properly and my background black, any suggestions?
I guess the only other thing I’m missing (besides the skills) is a beautiful model like Sylviane.
Thank you again for your unselfishness to others

Amazing video! This is my favorite way to shoot, but I don’t come up with photos that have that studio feel like these ones do… this is super inspiring for me for this coming weekend when I have a shoot in similar conditions!

Thanks for “dumbing things down” and offering such great tips

Ik vind het zelf ook erg fijn om bestaand licht te gebruiken… Het is toch altijd anders dan flits licht… Ik ben voor mijzelf nog niet uit wat ik precies wil maar dat komt wel na veel oefenen…

Hi Bert!

First time I’ve found you @Youtube. I like your videos and I’ve learned a lot.

But:
Could you please show your post-processing or some pictures, which are not post-processed? It would be easier for your guest to see, what you’re doing with light. This would be very helpful.

Thank you!

You guy’s really come as a gift from heaven…
I’ve allready learned a lot from your movies.
One question tho… U use a California Sunbounce … What is its advantage if you would compare it with a standard round reflector?
