Thank you. This is nice. I wish I knew this last year when taking photos for a family reunion. However, I'll get a chance to try it within the next two weeks at another family event. I really like this!

Another great setup. What F-stops do you use in comparison with the ambient light. Brighter or dimmer than the ambient ?

Did you use softboxes

Excellent video!!! Thanks for sharing!!!!

Fantastic work, just a quick question what is your camera setting? Is it no light no picture?

So yoy're saying it was stitched together in Photoshop?

Dude come to Long Island NY. We have a ton of "real" Hard/ Kaiser Rolls!!! There is also a plethora of recipes on this channel for original NY style hard rolls. They are time consuming to make. I can get them from many bakeries around me as well as many delis. We couldn't survive without our bacon egg and cheese sandwiches!

Why no masking? This video's methodology feels waaaay older than a few years ago...

Wonderful Place for your Business. I enjoy your Vidoe's & Teaching.

May i ask what in Photography IS NOT "Fine Art". I don't mean "Art" by that question, I mean "Fine Art". Many thanks

Nice video. I would suggest that you shop for your Godox products at B&H and apply for the B&H payboo credit card. This way you avoid paying tax and shipping is free when spending $49 or more. And they ship fast!.

Go to New York

So I’m currently on RUclips looking for hard roll recipes, and your video popped up. I grew up in central Jersey on the shore. My dad owned a deli and we would sell tons of buttered hard rolls every morning, just as you said, wrapped in butcher’s paper. And they were probably the most requested bread for sandwiches. My husband and I now live in the Midwest. When I first brought him to NJ, all he wanted was a hard roll, because I’ve spoken of them so often! Wow was I shocked when EVERY SINGLE “hard roll” was like a dinner roll. 😞 We were so bummed. Anyway, I’m glad I came across this video! Makes me feel less crazy. 🤣

What's the reason for having the key, fill, and ambient all on the same side?

Thank you for the education on this.

Hahaha thank you for this! It is good to know that even the Master photographers make elephant noises and have to move fast. The struggle is real. I laughed so hard watching this!

did you put a warming gel on your spot light?

Interesting techniques. I still think the face and shirt still had a tiny bit too much Red in them - especially his face, which looked like he was sunburnt to me. You didn't cover dust/speckle removal and sharpening, which is surprising.

How do I get the umbrella stem through the s bracket? Mine had a blockage or seems too smal

Wow! Your ability to use gear is amazing as is your attention to details. Thank You.

Wow, Lots for me to learn, I am really impressed, and have learned so much. Your Model is very beautiful, and you spring that beautiful out for us to enjoy. Thank You for imparting your immense knowledge of the art.

This is a better design than the one I have. The stand has to go through a slit in the umbrella - which makes it impossible to angle it up or down.

thanks

Correct me please if I was wrong, for the silver panel to be effective kicking the light shouldn't be hit with the raw light not the defused through the translucent?

In some videos you use a strobe hitting the ceiling for fill/bg although you have the 4x6 for same purpose, when do you use it and when not?

Add a hacksaw. Shorten that post!

Should be a Kaiser Rollwith real butter!

Hi Tim, I’m looking for a sturdy posing stool. Looks like there are many flimsy ones from what I’ve read online. Can you recommend a good one? Thanks!

Great video but one observation is that I noticed you touching a young female model. Maybe she's your daughter, I don't know. But I've always thought physical contact between photographer and model is not advised. Would like your opinion on this.

I see you go central weighted exposure and not matrix….would that be the same for group.?

I feel the exhaustion just watching lest doing it…. how can you put up with it I have no idea….Master at what you do.

It was so sad that you could not find the original Hard Roll in NJ. We lived in NJ for over 60 years and loved, loved the Hard Roll. We now live in South Side VA and Forget About It, you will not find those crusty delicious rolls here. We are also on a quest to bake our own Hard Rolls starting today. We have a few different recipes to try so we will keep in informed on how it goes.

Amazing. You made this 4yrs ago. Looks like you just put together some random things you had laying around and did more with less compared to a lot of what I'm seeing. You have redefined my perception of what I want to become as professional photographer. Thank you.

Beautiful light-setup, thank you for sharing

That is not a home portrait graflex slr. That's a super d graflex 4x5. Home portrait is a 5x7 camera with rise and fall movements on the front. 3:12

Thank you!

Great image! How many lights and what modifiers did you use?

With Larson now out of business, what do you use or recommend for your boxes, both large and medium?

Everything’s great about the video except the results. They look so posed and unnatural. Very much like what you’d get at a jc penny or other generic portrait places.

Hard roll crust needs to shatter when broken into. I think of it as a NY thing more than NJ

Tim, I have an extended family group to photograph inside in their living room, with the large group being 12 people total... with the space provided, probably 3 rows: kids kneeling and some sitting on laps, row 2 sitting on sofa, row 3 standing behind sofa. I'm wondering what the best way to light the group would be.... (1) similar to this video, (2) main off axis with fill directly behind camera, or (3) a light on each side. The ceiling isn't that high so thinking of going with 40" shoot through umbrellas, as light spill isn't really a concern. I don't want boring flat light, but also don't want cross shadows or unflattering shadows.

You just earned every penny you get! 🤭 I can relate to all of it when photographing my grand girls. For 9 years now.

Wonderful tutorial and the model is very elegant and beautiful!

This is just awesome and so valuable. Exactly what I need to see. Thank you so much. The most valuable thing I’ve learned after just watching a few of your videos is to start by turning the model away from the light. And the reason for that.

And we never called them Kaiser rolls in the olden days. Only hard rolls. I miss them!

A beautiful and talented model photographed by a talented portrait professional

Awesome Tim and thank you. One question - it looked like you were using a large lens, like a 70-200, but you were also very close. When I do portraits, I normally use a prime and around the 50 - 85mm mark. May I ask for your reasoning in using a big zoom?

Great. Classic Style, beautiful. Greetings from Germany

I love your work, to me the photos are so graceful. Keep the videos coming.

Ach... Larson Softboxes... no one made better boxes
