I love how a video light let’s you explore DOF without the limitations of flash or relying on tricks like FP.

Sensual, without attitude (if I’m not wrong)… And who was the assistant?

Is this the first blog post with no written introduction?
Jess changed her hair color!
Nice photos, Neil, as always.

Jess is a very beautiful woman, always pleased to see more photos of her on your blog Neil, never seen a bad one yet even when she’s just holding a softbox in a setup shot :) I’d consider hiring you just in the hope she would be helping you out… first in this sequence is my fav.
Do you find the video lights easier to work with from the point of view that you don’t need to visualize the final image so much as you would with a strobe when setting up the shot? Does it take less time to get the light just how you want it as you can see the results up front?

Is there a disount on Portraiture 2 if we order through your site? I know there is for Topaz, but unsure about Portraiture and I really want it.
Thanks!

Another excellent shoot.
Looks like the video is coming from top left (facing Jess).
How far away was the video light from Jess ?
Did you make any changes to shutter speed after metering the ambient ?
Thanks

Neil I just brought my first LED video light after seeing and reading on your blog – you can get some every different shots using it along with the natural light, gives a totally different feel to flash and to bounced flash – your an inspiration once again mr. niekerk!! thank you
