Continuous Lighting vs. Strobes and Flash for Portrait Photography | Jeremy Saffer NanliteUSA 2024-09-27 | What’s the best option for portrait photography lighting, flash/strobes or continuous LED lights? Jeremy Saffer, who has over 20 years of experience as a professional portrait photographer, shooting everyone from Johnny Depp to Metallica, shares his deep insights on the subject.🚨 SPOILER ALERT: He often uses both, but he only relies on strobes when he’s shooting in a location where he needs to completely overpower the ambient light. Any time he can work in an area where he has more control over the light, Jeremy leans into continuous LED lighting and the many creative advantages they provide.Here are some key pieces of equipment Jeremy uses in this video:PavoTube II 30XR LED Pixel Tubes – nanliteus.com/nanlite-pavotube-ii-30xr-4-rgbww-led-pixel-tube-with-built-in-crmx-2-light-kitSingle Tube Holder with Swivel Ball Joint - nanliteus.com/nanlite-pavotube-single-t12-led-tube-holder-with-swivel-ball-joint-and-5-8in-baby-pinForza 300B II Bi-Color LED Spotlight - nanliteus.com/nanlite-forza-300b-ii-bi-color-led-spotlightPara 90 Quick-Open Softbox - nanliteus.com/nanlite-para-90-quick-open-softbox-with-bowens-mount-35inPara 120 Quick-Open Softbox - nanliteus.com/nanlite-para-120-quick-open-softbox-with-bowens-mount-47inForza 60C LED Spotlight - nanliteus.com/nanlite-forza-60c-rgblac-led-monolight-kit-includes-battery-grip-and-bowens-s-mount-adapterLearn more about Jeremy Saffer here (taking one of his workshops is highly recommended):jeremysaffer.comPhoto Crew:Photographer - Jeremy Saffer (instagram.com/jeremysaffer)Assistant - Tara Leary ( instagram.com/thetaraleary)Video Crew:Director & Producer - Kelly Mena (instagram.com/kelly_mena)Cinematographer - Ally Visuals (instagram.com/allyvisuals)Extra B-Roll/Cinematography - Ketak Dhiman (instagram.com/ketakdhiman)Production Coordinator - Talisa Velez (instagram.com/filmbytv_)Location - Uptown Shots ( @uptownshots1411 / instagram.com/uptownshots)Special thanks to Saramonic for the audio (saramonicusa.com)For everything Nanlite:nanliteus.comFollow us on social!instagram.com/nanliteusafacebook.com/NanLiteUSA…and be sure to subscribe to this channel for more helpful videos like this one!

Shooting a Magazine Cover: Portrait Photography Tips & Multiple Shoots at Once NanliteUSA 2024-08-16 | When you get an opportunity as a portrait photographer, why not turn it into a pile of opportunities? Jeremy Saffer is a photographer and visual artist with decades of experience shooting portraits of everyone from Johnny Depp to Metallica, and in this video he explains in detail how he makes the most of every shoot, turning a single magazine cover shoot into multiple cover shoots and portraits with three separate clients.How is this done? First, you need to have your gear fully dialed-in and be capable of changing to new looks in seconds. This is one of the reasons Jeremy depends on continuous LED lighting, because what you see with your eyes in the studio in real-time is what your camera is going to capture. Turning a single shoot into multiple different looks means you need to make adjustments quickly, and cover a lot of ground to make every second count.Equally important to your equipment is your ability to work with your subjects as you shoot, making them feel confident and enjoy the process. Networking with their management and other talent they are associated with can open doors and quickly multiply the amount of jobs you can tackle in a single day. Jeremy shares how he does all of these things, so be sure to listen closely as you watch!Bands featured:Black Veil Brides (cover shoot) @blackveilbrides instagram.com/blackveilbridesDark Divine @darkdivine instagram.com/darkdivineofficial/?hl=en Creeper @WEARECREEPERTV instagram.com/creepercultLights, modifiers, and accessories Jeremy used in this shoot:PavoTube II 30XR LED Pixel Tubes – nanliteus.com/nanlite-pavotube-ii-30xr-4-rgbww-led-pixel-tube-with-built-in-crmxThe mount Jeremy uses to attach the PavoTube II 30XR’s to the stands - nanliteus.com/nanlite-pavotube-single-t12-led-tube-holder-with-swivel-ball-joint-and-5-8in-baby-pinNanlite Forza 60BII LED Spotlight - nanliteus.com/nanlite-forza-60b-ii-bi-color-led-spotlightThe SBFMM60 Softbox Jeremy uses on the Forza 60BII - nanliteus.com/nanlite-forza-softbox-with-fm-mountNanlite Forza 60C 3-Kit - nanliteus.com/nanlite-forza-60c-rgblac-led-spotlight-3-light-kit-includes-battery-grips-bowens-s-mount-adapters-rolling-hard-caseNanlite Forza 300B II Bi-Color LED Spotlight – nanliteus.com/nanlite-forza-300b-ii-bi-color-led-spotlight/NanlitePara 90 Quick-Open Softbox - nanliteus.com/nanlite-para-90-quick-open-softbox-with-bowens-mount-35inLearn more about Jeremy Saffer here (taking one of his workshops is highly recommended):jeremysaffer.comFor everything Nanlite:nanliteus.comFollow us on social!instagram.com/nanliteusayoutube.com/channel/UCGRPfrV2hSuBmUllQpP7Gbgfacebook.com/NanLiteUSA…and be sure to subscribe to this channel for more helpful videos like this one!

8 Portrait Photography Setups in UNDER 5 Minutes with Jeremy Saffer NanliteUSA 2024-05-29 | It's common to only be given a few minutes to shoot portraits of celebrities, musicians, and other subjects. This video demonstrates how some planning, preparation, and having an assistant or two can yield multiple high-quality photographs from eight visually different setups all in under five minutes. Working this efficiently will definitely be noticed by these types of clients and subjects, and will often lead to getting hired again by them for future shoots. The photographer in this video is Jeremy Saffer, who has been shooting portrait photography for over 20 years. He has photographed Johnny Depp, Metallica, and Slayer, to name a few. One of the keys to Jeremy's speed is using continuous LED lighting instead of strobes, and the Nanlite PavoTube II 30XR LED Tube Lights and the Forza 300B II Bi-Color Spotlight are some of the tools he relies on for mission-critical shoots like this one. Notice how in setup #3 Jeremy asks his assistant change the PavoTube II 30X tube settings from 5600K to the Fire pixel effect. This happens almost instantly because the assistant controls the tubes wirelessly using the free NANLINK app from their smartphone. Also notice that most of the lights on set that can be run on batteries are running on batteries. Not having to worry about AC cables being dragged across the floor saves time and lets you move quicker. All of the lights Jeremy uses in this shoot have the ability to run on batteries.

How to Use Colored Light in Filmmaking and Video Production NanliteUSA 2024-04-10 | We talk to lots of people about how they use their lights, and when we ask if they use colored light, most often the answer is no — but we believe the vast majority of these folks would benefit creatively from using RGB and RGBLAC fixtures. You probably don’t realize how often colored lights are used in the movies and TV shows that you watch. In this video, filmmaker Levi Whitney from UpHill Cinema, explains how he created mood and drama with a Nanlite Forza 60C and a PavoTube II 30X, effectively using their colored tones to tell a story. The techniques he shares are not complicated, and they’re something you can start employing right away.More about the Forza 60CThe Nanlite Forza 60C is an ultracompact and lightweight spotlight that can run on AC or battery power, and what makes it special is that it incorporates lime, amber, and cyan LED beads into its light source. This makes it capable of producing rich and vivid colors, in addition to highly accurate daylight and tungsten white light.More about the PavoTube II 30XRThe Nanlite PavoTube II 30XR is a four-foot long LED tube light that can run on AC or its powerful internal rechargeable battery. It has an RGBWW light source, which means it can generate a wide range of colors in addition to the warm and cold white lights that are popular in video production. It also features pixel effects that can move in an animated way across the tube.

Multi-Color Shadows in Product Photography: No Gels Required!! NanliteUSA 2023-07-27 | FUN FACT: When you mix red, green, and blue light, you get white. Doing so at angles can create white light and multi-color shadows, which makes eye-catching product photography and portraits. Commercial photographer, director, and educator Rob Grimm clearly explains his process for how to utilize this technique to create stunning product photography using compact Nanlite Forza 60C.The Forza 60C is an RGBLAC spotlight, meaning it has Red, Green, Blue, Lime, Amber, and Cyan LEDs. It recreates the full spectrum of color you get from the sun, similar to how a prism splits sunlight into separate hues. This allows you to cast the richest possible colors, and beautifully accurate 5600K light with a wide CCT range.

The combination the 60C and the PJ-FMM creates one of the most creative lighting tools out there, and it's something you should try for yourself.The Forza 60C is an RGBLAC spotlight, meaning it has Red, Green, Blue, Lime, Amber, and Cyan LEDs.

Creative Portrait Photography Continuous Lighting Tips NanliteUSA 2023-01-19 | When you shoot portrait photography with continuous lighting as opposed to flash strobes, you immediately see how tiny adjustments make major differences. You'll see this in action in this video by Jonny Edward, along with scores of other tips and advice. Jonny is an accomplished editorial and fashion photographer, art director, and creative educator. In addition to providing lots of insight on how to capture dramatic and engaging studio portraits, he specifically highlights the virtues of two surprisingly affordable spotlights from Nanlite, the FS-300B and FS-60B.With durable, built-to-last construction, and highly color-accurate and beautiful light output, both of these lights are hard to beat. The onboard controls are easy to use, they can be directly controlled via built-in Bluetooth with the free NANLINK app for iOS and Android (as Jonny demonstrates in the video), and they can be wirelessly controlled with 2.4G in situations where you don't want to use a phone or tablet. The FS-300B has a Bowens Mount, so it works with a vast number of modifiers, and the FS-60B has the FM Mount, which has its own ecosystem of modifiers, and it comes with a Bowens Mount adapter as well.Both light are bi-color, which means you can easily adjust the color temperature from warm, indoor lamp tones, to the white light of bright sunshine, and every shade in-between. Jonny demonstrates this as well, and gives you a taste for how many different looks this feature provides.#editorialfluidity 😉Gear used in this video (in order of appearance):Nanlite FS-300B - nanliteus.com/nanlite-nanlite-fs-300b-bi-color-led-spot-lightNanlite FS-60B - nanliteus.com/nanlite-fs-60b-bi-color-ac-led-monolightNanlite Para 120 Bowens Mount Softbox - nanliteus.com/nanlite-para-120-quick-open-softbox-with-bowens-mount-47inNanlite Lantern 80 Bowens Mount Softbox - nanliteus.com/nanlite-lantern-80-easy-up-softbox-with-bowens-mount-31inNanlite FL-11 FM-Mount Fresnel with Barndoors - nanliteus.com/nanlite-fl-11-fresnel-lens-for-forza-60Nanlite Forza Softbox with FM Mount - nanliteus.com/nanlite-forza-softbox-with-fm-mountNanlite Eggcrate Grid for Forza Softbox with FM Mount - nanliteus.com/nanlite-forza-eggcrate-for-sbfmm60-forza-softbox-with-fm-mountNanlite Forza PJ-FMM FM-Mount Projector - nanliteus.com/nanlite-forza-projector-for-fm-mount-with-36-lensFor more on Jonny Edward: jonnyedward.cominstagram.com/jonnycreative For everything Nanlite:nanliteus.comFollow us on social!instagram.com/nanliteusafacebook.com/NanLiteUSAtwitter.com/NanliteUSA…and be sure to subscribe to this channel for more helpful tutorials like this one!0:00 - Introduction | Jonny Edward (@jonnycreative) 00:53 - Set Up 1 | One Light Set Up (Nanlite FS 300B with 120 Parabolic Softbox) 03:30 - Benefits of Bicolor Lighting and Remote Control with the NANLINK App04:27 - Set Up 2 | Lantern Set Up and hair light (FS300B with 80 Lantern and the FS60B with Fresnel)06:00 - Set Up 3 | Small Directional Keylight (FS60B Keylight with softbox and grid, FS300B with 120 Parabolic as backlight)07:52 - Set Up 4 | Using large softbox as a backdrop (FS300B with 120 Parabolic and FS60B as Keylight)

Battling the Sun on a Cinematic Interior with the Nanlite Forza 720 NanliteUSA 2022-03-30 | Lighting a cinematic scene of a woman beside a window in the midday sun involves many advanced techniques, and in this video filmmaker Brady Bessette explains why he made specific decisions for how to handle the light coming in the windows. He shares many important tips for getting beautiful shots in this kind of setting, and how having powerful lights like the new Nanlite Forza 720 can help you battle and control the sunlight.Brady often uses the Forza 720 lights with the Nanlite FL-20G fresnel lens to mimic the directionality of the sun. This attachment has a standard Bowens Mount and it intensifies the output of the light and lets you adjust the beam between spot and flood. The FL-20G includes the 8-way metal barndoors seen in the video.When you use practical lights in your shots, like the table lamps that add visual flair to the scene in Brady’s video, an excellent option for the bulbs of these fixtures is the new Nanlite PavoBulb 10C. They have a standard E27 heads, so you can screw them into any common lamp and power them with the lamp’s AC. The great advantage they provide is that you can easily control their dimming, CCT, and even do RGB colors and effects. They work with the same Bluetooth and 2.4G found in the new Forza 720, so you can control the PavoBulbs through the NANLINK app for iOS and Android. The quality of the light the PavoBulbs provide is top-notch as well, so your scenes will look great on camera. Brady also makes good use of the Nanlite Forza Projector for Bowens Mount, which significantly increases the output of the attached fixture and allows you to cut the light into custom shapes and adjust the focus of the lens for sharp or blurred edges. The projector is sold with a 19° or 36° lens, and the lenses are available individually. Projector attachments increase the creative potential of your lighting setups exponentially, so they are highly recommended.

The New Nanlite Forza 720 and 720B Spot Lights: Be the sunshine ☀ NanliteUSA 2022-03-30 | Nanlite just announced the two most powerful lights they’ve ever made, and one is the most powerful bi-color LED light in the world. The new Nanlite Forza 720 and 720B aren’t just about power, though. Every aspect of their design has been optimized to make them truly useful production tools — whether you need maximum brightness to create artificial sunshine or a much more subtle, finely tuned amount of light, both the 720 and the 720B can be your go-to light for every shoot. These lights share many similarities, but the main difference is the 720 has a daylight-balanced 5600K output, while the 720B is bi-color with a variable CCT range of 2700-6500K. The output is immense with the 720 delivering 23,300 lux (2164.6 fc) at 2 meters with its included reflector. This reading is at 2 meters because the 720 was too bright for our equipment to measure at 1 meter. The 720B at the same distance set to 5600K delivers 18,270 lux (1697.3 fc). If the utmost power is what you need, the 720 is over 20% brighter. If the versatility of bi-color is more appealing, the 720B is still incredibly bright when you need it. Both lights feature a standard Bowens mount which means they’re compatible with a vast number light modifiers, including the Nanlite PJ-BM Projector — which is an excellent companion for these spot lights as you can see in the video. The yoke features a single-sided locking mechanism which makes it easier to position, and the rosette-free design lets you precisely aim the beam. The base of the yoke features a mount that’s compatible with both junior and baby pins, so they’re ready to be put on regular light stands and C-stands. The Control Units feature V-Mount battery plates on the sides for easy access, and when you’re running on batteries in the field, both the 720 and 720B deliver an impressive amount of power. Using two 26V batteries the 720 can provide 70% of its max output, while the 720B can do 65%. Both lights can plug into standard AC outlets for operation as well. A sturdy quick-release clamp is included for mounting the Control Unit, as well as a 16.4 foot (5 meter) cable to connect to the head, so you can really put these light up high. 2.4G and Bluetooth are built-in, which means you can directly control these lights with the NANLINK mobile app for iOS and Android, as well as use them with the WS-TB-1 Transmitter Box for more elaborate scenes when you also want to control PavoTubes, PavoBulbs and other lights wirelessly. Both the heads and Control Units feature durable metal construction, so they’re ready for the rough world of professional production. By pushing the envelope of what’s possible with bi-color LED technology, and giving you significantly more brightness in the field when running on batteries, we’re excited to get these fixtures in the hands of creatives so they can elevate their own work.

The Nanlite PavoBulb 10C: A Cinematic Light Bulb for Creatives NanliteUSA 2022-03-23 | Get complete control over the practical lights in your productions with the Nanlite PavoBulb 10C.

PavoBulb lets you quickly adjust your in-frame lights to achieve cinematic atmospheres and the exact look you want. When screwed into any standard lamp or lighting fixture, PavoBulb 10C gets all the power it needs when the light is plugged into an AC outlet. When you’re shooting at a location where running AC is inconvenient or impossible, PavoBulb 10C has an easily accessible USB-C port where you can attach a wide variety of external batteries, such as the common powerbank batteries that are used to charge smartphones on-the-go. You can rig up a practical with PavoBulb, feed it external battery power, and run it for hours and hours while you concentrate on other aspects of your production. A range of dedicated accessories were made for PavoBulb that transform it from just a light bulb to a complete platform for managing practical lights. The Bouncer with Suction Cup is an innovative and easy-to-use modifier that quickly attaches to the full-dome of PavoBulb and features an adjustable aperture for controlling light spill. The E27 Magnetic Mount and AC Adapter lets you attach PavoBulb to metal surfaces and objects, and it has a removable AC cable that you can plug into an outlet. The NP-F Battery Adapter and Mount lets you power PavoBulb with NP-F batteries, and it can screw into a lamp socket, it can screw into the E27 Magnetic Mount, and it has a 1/4 20 thread so you can mount it anywhere. The Nanlite USB-C To DMX Cable provides DMX in and out on XLR connectors as well as a female USB-C connector so you can continue to supply power to PavoBulb. This accessory cable is also fully compatible with the PavoTube T8-7X LED Pixel Tube. Lastly, the Nanlite Control Bank plugs into the USB-C port on PavoBulb and provides extra buttons for deeper control, a screen so you can see the settings, and an external battery for long shoots. It’s a great way to fine-tune the settings of PavoBulb without using the NANLINK app. This accessory is also fully compatible with the PavoTube T8-7X LED Pixel Tube. The PavoBulb 10C is available individually with a USB-C cable, and the accessories are sold separately. It also comes in a 4-Light and a 12-Light Kit.

3 Creative Ways to Use A Bowens Mount Projector in Video & Photoshoots NanliteUSA 2022-03-01 | There are lots of excellent light modifiers available, from softboxes to fresnel lenses — but projector mounts are a style you should experiment with on your next shoot. They let you create razor-sharp spotlight effects that you can easily cut into eye-catching geometric shapes. A focusing mechanism lets you make the projection as soft or sharp as you want it to be, and gobo inserts create elaborate patterns like the dappled light found under the shade of a tree, or the impressions of window shapes that slowly creep across your walls every day. All of this makes for wildly creative possibilities in video production and photoshoots, and in this video L.A.-based filmmaker MarioVisions shares 3 ways he uses lighting projectors in his shoots. The attachment used in the video is the Nanlite Forza Projector for Bowens Mount, which is an excellent choice for use with the Nanlite Forza 500, 300B, 300, and the FS Series monolights. But, because this projector has the nearly universal Bowens mount, it’s compatible with a vast number of other lights. The 3 examples Mario shares in the video are compelling and create lots of visual interest, but remember, the only limitation with these tools is your own imagination. If you can dream it up, you can bring it to life with Nanlite.

MixPanel VS MixPad: Which Nanlite LED panel light is best for you? NanliteUSA 2021-12-16 | To the untrained eye an LED panel light may just look like a glowing rectangle, so it’s understandable why the differences between the Nanlite MixPanel and the MixPad II aren’t immediately obvious. In a nutshell, the MixPanel 150 and 60 are more durably constructed, have substantially brighter output, and offer more advanced features like DMX control. With that out of the way, the MixPad II 27C and 11C both provide impressive performance and provide a lot of functionality and power at truly budget friendly prices.

When they enter they find a beautiful and talented model, a full crew at their beck and call, several appealing backgrounds, props, and spaces to shoot, and a vast assortment of Nanlite LED lighting fixtures and modifiers to use. Even though the same elements were available to both participants, this photographer vs photographer challenge produced wildly different looks! The monolight Emily used as an overhead of the model on the sofa was the Nanlite FS-300:nanliteus.com/nanlite-fs-300-ac-led-monolight The large Bowens-mount softbox modifier she used was the Nanlite Para 150:nanliteus.com/nanlite-para-150-softbox-with-bowens-mount-59in This is the new PavoTube II 30X LED tube light Emily used for the first time:nanliteus.com/nanlite-pavotube-ii-30x-4-rgbww-led-pixel-tube-with-internal-battery This is the Forza 300B bicolor monolight that Brandi used:nanliteus.com/nanlite-forza-300b-bicolor-led-monolight This is the smaller monolight Brandi used, the Forza 60:nanliteus.com/nanlite-forza-60-led-monolight-kit-includes-npf-battery-grip-and-bowens-s-mount-adapter This is the PJ-FZ60-36 projector attachment that Brandi used on the Forza 60:nanliteus.com/nanlite-forza-60-60b-projector-mount-with-36-lens This is the PavoTube 30X that Brandi used inside of the piano:nanliteus.com/nanlite-pavotube-ii-30x-4-rgbww-led-pixel-tube-with-internal-battery This is the larger monolight Brandi used to light the piano, the Forza 300:nanliteus.com/nanlite-forza-300-led-monolight This is the smaller monolight Brandi used to light the piano, the new Forza 150:nanliteus.com/nanlite-forza-150-led-monolight This is the smaller softbox Brandi used on the Forza 150:nanliteus.com/nanlite-forza-60-softbox This is the panel light Brandi used in the shot with the holographic heels, the MixPanel 150:nanliteus.com/nanlite-mixpanel-150-bicolor-rgb-hard-and-soft-light-led-panel And for everything Nanlite:nanliteus.com Follow us on social!instagram.com/nanliteusafacebook.com/NanLiteUSAtwitter.com/NanliteUSACrew: Model: Jarry LeeMUA & Hair - Alicia D'AngeloStylist - Lisa StapletonAssistants: Arianna Vetere & Ian ShiffVideo: Chuy GutierrezDirector & Producer: Kelly Mena
