About a month ago, we took on the challenge of shooting an entire fashion shoot with just an iPhone and a couple $30 reflectors as a follow up video to the FStoppers iPhone Fashion Shoot. The SLR Lounge iPhone Photo Shoot has gotten a lot of attention and we thought it was time for a follow up video.

So, in this follow up video, we will be showing you guys the exact reflector lighting techniques that we used to pull off every shot that we took in the SLR Lounge iPhone Photo Shoot.

However, we will be using a legit camera this time. This time we will be using our 5D Mark II along with a 50mm 1.4 Prime Lens. But, trust me that you can pretty much get these exact same shots with virtually any DSLR body with a 50mm 1.4 Prime Lens attached. Below the video, we have listed out all of the equipment and software used to create these shots. So be sure to check that out as well.

Enjoy, and as always, let us know what you think!

  1. All I was wondering was is Jessica going to get blown away? Great shots and the reflectors certainly opened them up, but wouldn't gold have made them warmer for outdoor shooting.

  2. Though the option of choosing to learn photography is not being limited to everyone but the resources being offered may not be available for everybody. Regardless of whether you are willing to pay for the online photography courses being offered by certain photography websites or you’ll just have to choose other resources that are being offered for free. Whichever you choose from these wide varieties of online photography classes, it is up to you to choose the best photography websites that can provide you with the best online photography courses you needed to learn photography.

  3. Excuse me. Useful lesson and technical know how good speaker but you are not creative photographer, your pictures are very weak lacks of configurations and angles and you're in an unfortunate choice were not the lens is a lens that excel in portraying PORTRAIT  Excuse 

  4. By insulting me you just proved what I thought. You are a rude graphic designer! I will end this conversation here. It is not worth it to argue with someone who is unable to use his brain to construct convincing arguments. Good luck in your graphic designing career! One last thing, YOU ARE NOT A PHOTOGRAPHER!

  5. Good video. However, you got two things wrong: 1. There is no such thing as a ¨professional camera¨. Without the photographe, even the most expensive camera is nothing but a piece of junk. 2. You forgot to mention that post processing is for people who do not know how to use light. Therefore, for bad ¨photographers¨.

  6. Thanks, nice! May be the pre-post comparison should be shown more often and you can leave out the PS/LR edits altogether, nobody cares, it's about learning the lighting and not post-processing. A friendly tip: you should definitely shoot Jessica and the tattooed Yoko should assist you – the pictures would look really much better :o)!
