Wallace
well today I wanna show you this setup that I stole from Greg Norman eyesight
and studio he was shooting
and it's made for about being in the shoe butterfly light
really tight headshots really quickly and so the nice thing about this thing
is
are you going to have it and the cider studio you can we learn around seeking
women from different environments
it's totally portable is what I want to do is walk you through all the different
components to
know how to build one and then or actual gonna put it into practice
with a model and you see just how fast this is so come on over and I'll show
you
all these different components is built from a Matthews stand so this is
a Matthews rolling baby junior that's what this stand is so can roll around
with a sandbag on here make sure nothing falls over
I mean for whatever let him on a light or heavy pack system
this actually as a and this is our
a super clamp with a you hook some people these adjacent exactly you hook
and then that's how my package to serve on their and then I have
just a little arm here so this is a normal on
grip arm and so I can put a beauty dish you put a sock box you can put what
everyone up here i'd could be dish on their
and then underneath I actually have a 5-in-1 reflector
and this is a silver reflector and this is using a Manfrotto
an attachment right here so this normally goes on and normal light stand
but I've done
is this is a little arming get from Matthews actually extend out from a
normal mattie's
stand and that allows you to attach that so the matthews gears really
key to this because everything's on wheels just sort of rolls around what we
can do then
is very very quickly we can get a model in location
and take a a nice tight headshots OS or gonna do now
so we actually have a model her name is Alexis
and she's gonna come out here and we're gonna show you how this all
works so come on out Alexis and out what I'm gonna have
welcome to the show actually and this is Alexis but have you stand right from
this blue background and this is the beauty of this it's so easy and quick
he just sort of rolling around you want to get a really really close you wanna
jam your subject I mean it's so close it feels like you're about to get jab
but you're not going to you and then when I shoot thru
this arrangement here so what I'm gonna do some to grab my camera
and I've already metered this is F-sixteen so
that's the nice thing is once you needed it you can just put it in location
because it's going to be the same distance every time
because you know right here if you going to close its gonna poke
I'm you can just meet at once and you just know every time it's 16
so when ideas I'll shoot rate through my reflector in mind beauty dish
I'll take one more shot here just like that
we have a nice headshot it's really really fast in really really easy

fast a butterfly light with the portable set up that you can move around your
