I love the look and simplicity to get it. Thanks you for the great work. The light meter is the best way to understanding the F stop and what it looks like. If you learn things manually or the the long way, then the short cuts and automatic ways are even easier. When you learn manually, you can manipulate it more efficiently to get the desired outcome. These dsys no one wants to take the time to invest in themselves and gave something that lasts a lifetime. Thank you Ian for your time and wisdom for thise of us that truly wish to understand. 😊

I’ve used something similar though without a boom as I don’t have time because I’m in various locations. But I like this idea and look a lot.

Oh wow that is a great set up! Your Lighting Stack has just giving me an idea to something I 've been meaning to work on, I have a 5 foot Octabank and when I have done full body shots the exposure past the knees of the subject gets darker. I am getting a Super clamp with a Pin and attach a second Light like you have shown here on this video. Thank you for sharing such great Lighting Set up, much success and health to you Mr. Ian Spainer!

I first saw this application in photo school…1978; a teacher showed me a lighting setup…from ARNOLD NEWMAN. From the 1960’s😮.

A quick question. Do you ever need the use of a reflector on the shadow side of your set up?
