How to light a face

This was a very informative course and everything was simple to follow.

So helpful and easy to understand! Great way to learn the basics.

should have more studio shooting examples to show

Hey,

I need to express my appreciation for your efforts creating a course on the fundamentals of lighting. 💡

I imagined a much longer training for this price.. I’m a bit disappointed... I wanted some more "real" exemple and not only with this fake face on a black background over and over...

the course are good for the color you not go that much in details and I prefere for now to get our creativity free, lets try the 3 big subject.

very clear instructions from David

Great course, very well organised in how it breaks everything down into the simplest concepts.

Simply the finest 'seminar' I've ever attended; and beyond finest when considering it's about lighting (physics!) and online -- truly brilliant in its simplicity of presentation and truly stellar teaching skills. This put all of the fundamentals (which I've been using forever) into easy to digest and 'put into practice' segments. Oh and fun and entertaining it was as a bonus. Thanks.

Well Done, simple, concise and enjoyable.

It was wonderful course of lighting

Very funny and I learned much god thinks to takes bedder images.

perfect! thank you so much.

Great course, direct and easy to understand. Removes the mystery behind terminology and techniques.

I wish the actual shoot had been longer - it's helpful watching the photographer giving instructions to the subject as they go.

I got confused by your term 'shape the shadow'. To me that sounds like as you would move a light around a face and the shape of the nose shadow changes. It took several replays to realize what I think you meant is the edge of the shadow.

Amazing Program!!

Great presentation!! Great equipment and Great instruction!!

Love the course and feeling super inspired to turn theory to practice.

absolutely awesome tips

Very helpful. Clear, concise, well illustrated and demonstrated.

David has a great knowledge and great teaching skills. I appreciated it and will do more

ok

Everything was explained perfect and with fun.

jokes are bad

David Bicho is amazing. This takes my shooting to another level, thankyou. Perfect course.

This is what I need it to get motivated, an understanding of the light and patterns and colors and options and how to apply them to an actual subject, thank you so much for the very interesting course.

Great explanations and examples.

Very clear explanations and demo's. Entertaining presenter.

Very helpful information, if it was a bit cheaper I would buy more lessons.

.

Excellent, fun and informative.

straight to the point with panache

Cheers!

Very easy to grasp and follow

Most helpful and informative. I really enjoyed all of it! Thank you!

About the studio shoot.
I think better if you tell me why set up lighting for hearing concept "Cycle of life".

none

I submitted a previous feedback, please ignore it. The course material PDF's are indeed after each course. I didn't realize it until I submitted this optional feedback,, sorry.

I would recommend that the PDF course material/s be presented after each course when you are taken a series of 3 or 4 courses. This would be more beneficial when practicing your photo's after each course.

I think that this course provides a concise, no non-sense approach to the topics that it covers. Can you please provide the charts as PDF documents for easy reference? I noticed in the comments that some students might have additional concerns swirling around their heads about power, and exposure settings. I feel that the course does the right thing by not adding these additional variables as they muddy the subject. But I can easily see that a novice might want to know more about that right away and become frustrated that it is not covered. Perhaps it would be good to point that out from the start so that students don't go into the course with that expectation.

It really does cut to the chase. The type of lighting is explained then taught simply with live examples. He also tells you what you should avoid. I learned a lot in a very short period of time, but I know I'll be watching it over and over to be sure to make these techniques be second nature.

next step lesson when release in profoto korea?

I want the questions to be in Japanese
I'm answering with google translation

I wish my photography teachers had been so clear explaining the relationship between shadows and the shape of the modifier and the contrast with the environment. I had to learn the hard way...

Good clear explanations of the principles referenced.

I learned several new things, so I got value from it

Excepcional y practico

Need alot more detail about things. For the price charged I feel I should have got a lot more.

Very informative and understandable!

good videos

One of, if not, the best lighting course I've seen. There's so much great information in this, wonderful.

The course is really well produced and the explaining of the concept is very thorough and precise. One suggestion, the constant inserting of the background music is really distracting, should have kept them minimum, just in the beginning and end.

Loving this course. I am learning more with each lesson. Thank you.

very good

Actually I have found some stuff really confusing and contradicting in this course. For instance, in the video he is explaining about the shadow being wider because he us using a rectangle light source, but the shadow is not wider. the feather of the shadow is wider. I was going back and forth to understand what he means and figured that his explanation was not correctly put.

Succinct and to the point. Lots of information that I hadn't considered before. Thank.

The course is very interesting, with information that you normally do not find in other courses/videos. I am glad I purchased it!

great simple explanation to the point. great course thank you.

very good teacher and very good explanation

Very good for the fundamentals, very well explained.

Nothing to add. That's exactly what I expected. Great job.

All the explanations are very clear, and very well structured. That is a fabulous curse about this topic !

I need to know more about color effect of modifier/

Think there’s to much overlapping between David and the girl in the studio

A download of an PDF would be nice, because in this course you transport so much knowledge!

russian subtitles please because some words i don't understand

excellent explanation of the use of grids and modifiers....finally!

Good and practical tips on how to get a really nice result!

Hanna's comment are very good, but she uses high speed delivery - a challenge for people whose native tongue is not English

Bicho är grym. Jag var på en föreläsning med honom i Göteborg och tycker att det är bra information. Denna kurs är också bra, men jag tycker att den är i dyraste laget med tanke på hur kort den är. All info är väldigt bra info, men som sagt, det är ganska kort speltid.

This is the course I needed. It shows essential know-how of flashlight portrait photography. Didactically, it is brilliant and the task to do four yourself are really challenging. You have to see this tutorial several times and try yourself step-wise.

The material in this course contains very useful information. Not much equipment is required to produce a superb result.

This was a very good course.

Excellent course. Packed with good information and such an awesome teacher! Super fun to watch too.

I learned so much from this short video than I have ever learned form one on one classes. Good Job David!

The reason why I give a 7 is because Profoto has uploaded a lot of this course online. Of course, David and Anders have filled in some generalities with specific info and demo techniques. Like I said before most if not all of my photo friends would no doubt learn something, but most shoot with these skills in play. I like David and Anders teaching style. I just wish the course was longer and a bit more dense. thank you.

This is is fantastic.
Mr. Bicho introduces a consistent method of lighting and creativity.
Even if you consider yourself an expert, this course is definitely useful.

Great tips on lighting a face and the use of lighting modifiers.

Great overview

Provide subtitles, would be more easy to understand for non-English speaking people.

I don't know photographer who want to follow, but if they ask I will recommend. But the course price will be a hurdle.

Really informative and simple

The quiz is too easy , the content of the course is great

good over all program with usable details.

I like the course and it suits me well based on my knowledge of light and lighting. Wish I could sometimes turn off the music. It is very tired when you want to repeat different sections.
