egs in and save yourself you know a handful of inches anyway then it gives me the ability to move it back a little bit further so uh okay so now I'm gonna pull this guy back out just a little bit take him up to about my ceiling height and same thing that we were talking about in the basic lighting segment where basically if I've got all three of you yeah come up just a little bit oh can you move can everybody move that way half a step I'll go back with this you went to step one good john that corner is going to be in just a little bit so let's do this one second what if I do this like this I've got the room to do this it's my it's my c stands holding the portable walls up that's in my way so trust me I can get this I can make this work I just want that to bounce yeah toward them just a little bit just like that john that's right that's right so now I come around for a horizontal shot or as the new world likes to say landscape landscape versus portrait on my world it was always horizontal and vertical but I guess we lost that didn't we? Okay so let's take a picture here this is great I'm gonna come oh sorry I've got to stay in here sorry sorry miss kinda I'm still in here now I'm zooming out just a little bit so right now my zoom is at fifty so right there's a fifty millimeter zoom and you're going to see a little bit of that stand back there that's holding my ceiling sorry maybe not maybe I can kill it oh you guys look good pam turn your head toward the light just a little bit more that's it mean to me just a little bit little bit that's it oh my god smiles everyone smiles all that was a beautiful thing right there that was a mighty beautiful thing everybody take a breath we got it on the first pop take a look at this and tell me what's wrong with that and why couldn't we do a family of three sisters in this one you know I got good like body all the way across thinks it looks pretty good it might be just a tiny bit contrast uh but you know we're in a pretty small space so we're getting pretty close to our uh are stopping point are we not okay family thank you you too can go sit mackenzie I'm good with you for right now so you can go relax john thank you and let me turn around just talk for a moment here we kill those yeah and uh and if ken has got any final wrap up that we do before we go to our lunch break our tow our break at the end of this segment on the starter kit I think let me just see if I can wrap up a couple of thoughts that I have uh that I wanted to make sure we talk about there's going to be props that you're going to want your home studio there's going to be things like, uh, small sofas, love seats, chairs, there's going to be coffee tables and there's gonna be small round tables, there's going to be flowers in vases and voss is depending on your income. I love that part. Yeah, their vases if they're cheap, their bosses, if they're not, and all that's going to be personal to suit your style and technique of photography and everybody's going to be a little bit different, some of you are going to very traditional classic portrait stuff some we're going to see fashion, some were going to shoot nudes, some were going to shoot boudoir, I don't know what you're gonna do, some were going to shoot jewelry. What I do know is don't feel automatically like you can't do this in a small space, you can do it in a small space, you know you can, you can make this work and you can make it work, not just work, you could make it work really well and I think that's the point.

This was my very first course at all, and it was a great one from the beginning. I never thought I could gain so much fun from my limited small space at home. Thanks, Tony! (And thanks to folks of Creative Live)

Havent used my studio gear for a little while, and last time i did, i just shot too flat with no shadows, this was a really great refresher, love the attitude and the language used, worth it! a must if you are new to studio lighting, including sppedlights, got some good info for when i use a speedlight outdoors in sunlight. thankyou.
