For all you guys that want to shoot but don't have any lights, check out what this guy did. It's not amazing photography but it proves that you can make beautiful pictures with a minimal investment in lighting and a bit of knowledge.

A stupid idea for porn and for shooters who aren't really good.
The drawer backs are as follows. Color balance, depth of field and heat. Plus this set up will make the shooter look like a complete fool. Try setting this up in a living room.
Do we need more lame shooters shooting porn who can't afford a few grand for a decent strobe kit?
Better idea would be to;
Not bother.Comment

Here you go a much better way than that idea.
Cheap, portable, adjustable, usable in all locations, no heat, no Depth f field problems and no color balance problems. And probably cheaper than this idea.
Flash photography On The Cheap.
Dean is absolutely no competition to me. He didn't sell to mags, never had a content store and no competition as I don't shoot for custom clients who pay peanuts.
Even retired I have the honesty to point out a stupid idea when I see it. Not just kiss ass of a bro, because he's a bro.Comment

I just bought these real cool umbrella softbox thingies... they are like bigass umbrella lights but with a back black zip enclosure. so it makes them like a softbox. I fucking love them.

very funny: the light changes color temp as they are pulled down in intensity. this is why kinos cost so damn much... when they are dialed down the color temp stays the same...
I see this as way to get you guys completely fucked up.... because if you don't know what you're doing 'in camera' with this cheap crap you're gonna be fucked in post $.02Comment

wow, very nice. Thanks for sharingComment

Paul, you did not see the idea behind this thread. I clearly seen why this thread was created.
No pro shooter would never shoot in this fashion to sell and deliver adult content.
I will not wait all day to have a model hold completely while shooting super slow shutter speeds for each composed shot. NO way.
Here in America this will make you look like a total and complete GWC.
Hey girls I wanna shoot hot naked photos of you using, shower curtains and lights I bought at Walmart or Home Depot. NOT!Comment

Actually a pro shooter might to create something very different. But there are much easier ways.
IMO this is a dumb idea for a pro or amateur shooter and would cost more than the flashes I linked to. And be less affective. Putting a cheap flash on a tripod with a lead attached to fire it and using filters for effect is a much better way.
It's a useless idea for any shooter and showing it and saying this
"It's not amazing photography but it proves that you can make beautiful pictures with a minimal investment in lighting and a bit of knowledge."
Does Dean a dis-service.
If I had posted this lame idea everyone would be rightly flaming me. Just because Dean posted it doesn't make it a good idea. That's the problem with GFY. The messenger is more important than the message.
JFK is spot on if you want to take cheap pictures.Comment

Great videos.
I think I've tried just about every portable lighting solution known to man (and Jerry rigged them all) to work as both photo and video lights, along with every type of bulb you can buy at the local hardware store. You'd be surprised what you come up with when you're in some 3rd world shit hole.Comment

Dean... btw... thanks for the heads up on that email company in your sig. That works GREAT! I jacked part of your sig. :-)Comment

I don't hate you, just think this isn't a good idea. For the reasons stated.
I don't even hate trolls who assume it's got to be great idea because you said it.
I wish you well also.
DWB I used to use the idea I posted of flashes on a tripod and fired by an light sensitive trigger and a flash on my camera. Suggest you use a light meter to get the exposure spot on. Depth of field is tight, but not as tight as it would be. plus in Thailand the heat of these lights would be a factor.
As for video, they are so good today, nearly any light will do.Comment
