Please note that this website is currently a work in progress! Lots of interesting data and statistics to come.
I really, really like Sean Tucker's channel. He is very thorough, not hyper-opinionated and peaceful which is so hard to find on youtube.
I don't shoot product or portrait photography but even those videos are interesting and informative for me.
All of sean's videos are incredibly helpful...I use this method of shooting portraits at home in my living room and get fantastic results
Fixed the link (again)
Tucker's channel is dope. His videos are really mature and perceptive. I've learned a lot from him
This is a great video. Like all of his other videos. Though what he told today was told many years ago by some guy who ran a blog called Lighting 101.
i just watched this. I always find it odd that people are afraid of speedlights? That is pretty much when photography starts to really get good. After all you're painting with light
Great results, inexpensive parts list (speedlight, radio transmitter/receiver, umbrella/softbox, black popup background), included examples of the shots. Very nicely done, and kudos to Sean.
I really like Sean's videos. I did notice that he talked about adjusting shutter speed to effect the strobe. However, shutter really only affects ambient light, ie constant since a strobe is for a fraction of a second (I dont do high speed sync). Please corrected me if I'm wrong. Typically I'll shoot at 1/200 which is the fastest sync and then adjust power and aperture to create mood. If it sounds like I'm spewing David hobby, it's where I learned most ofc and playing around because it's fun as hell. All in all it is a great video and fantastic tips. He is an awesome teacher.
He (Sean Tucker) once got hired from my company to help us with our (mostly portrait) photos.
I’ve spend two days with him and he showed me his tricks in Photoshop and portrait shooting, ive learned more in those 2 days than in 5 years of photography!
This guy is awesome, kind and calm, it was so much fun working with him
Highly recommend checking out Nick Fancher's book, Studio Anywhere.
