#044 Spectacular Concert Photography in a Pub
http://SmokingStrobes.com/ConcertPhotography - Let’s face it: If you show up to the next Rolling Stones concert with your fat boy DSLR and a monster zoom, then you won’t have the slightest chance to get past the bouncers, let alone in front of the stage. To get in, you would need an accreditation from a music magazine, who loves your concert photos and wants you to shoot the Stones for them. Making a music mag loving your photos? Sounds at least easier than knocking down the bouncers. So let’s...

#043 Backlight Photography - Ideal for Warming U...
http://SmokingStrobes.com/BacklightWarmup - Why backlight photography? Because you can use a super simple one light setup for backlighting. But hey, why warming up your nude photo model in the first place? If you ask this question, then you have never been nude in front of the lens yourself. Even not in a harmless backlighting set. Time for you to try it out... the one light setup and the nude shoot of yourself. I wish you good light! -- Michael from http://SmokingStrobes.com

#041 Why not starting a catalogue photography bu...
http://SmokingStrobes.com/photobusiness - Today’s video might bore you. This photography idea is about a rather normal, unspectacular and well, pretty easy way to start a photography business. It’s about a catalogue photography business. I realized that a lot of viewers are willing to earn some money with photography. However, jumping onto the wedding or microstock train is a bit out of reach for many. Usually I do not film those photo shoots, which make me money in the most lazy way. Not that...

#039 Awesome for Canon Speedlites and ETTL: Odin...
http://SmokingStrobes.com/odin - I really can’t praise this little piece of gear enough. Finally a reliable radio trigger for Canon ETTL speedlites. I don’t leave the house without it anymore. So if you are shooting Canon, then this is a must have. If you are shooting Nikon, then you should hammer the Phottix customer support to release an Odin for Nikon. Really.

#038 I’m back - with simple kickass lighting tec...
http://SmokingStrobes.com - We don’t need light modifiers this time. Bare Speedlights are all it takes to setup the light of todays show. It’s a pretty simple lighting technique. You can use it for fashion, sportswear or swimwear - stuff that needs some punch. As you will see on cousin Emily in the video, there is even this type of simple underwear, that really shines when you use this lighting technique.

#037 Speedlights as backlight for “Star” photos
http://SmokingStrobes.com - In this video I am using Speedlights to serve as backlight generating flare. I am taking some photos of HA-L who is a music producer (Avex Trax). While her artists are usually on the big stage she herself is working in the background... until now. Because with the lighting tactic I just mentioned I pulled her onto the stage - at least photographically. The lighting setup requires a bit of effort, but it’s not that hard. Setup takes 10 minutes max. Have a look at the...

#036 photo idea regarding undepictable topic: sm...
http://SmokingStrobes.com - Here’s my first photo idea of a series of different photography ideas. If I would hold a photography Ph.D. then I’d put the idea like this: “In order to express a sensory impression that cannot be directly depicted, you can to tap into the mind of your viewer and call up his memories of a situation in his past in which he experienced the sensory impression that you want to portrait.” However, since I don’t hold ANY title in photography, I think I better show you a v...

#035 Fireplace images powered by grilled speedli...
http://SmokingStrobes.com - A fireplace is a lovely place. You can feel the heat, smell the wood, hear the fire crackling. But using it in the scene for a lingerie photo is a little bit more tricky than one might expect. All of a sudden the light of the fire is not so magic anymore. This is where pull out our brave speedlight and place it right next to the fire in order to make our light sing. It brings us images of the fireplace that really feel like a fireplace: hot and intensive.
