Bert Stephani - Confessions #7
Grab your binky and a bottle of water. Bert's back with another "Confessions" video. There's all-new techno-trancy-housey music. And black undies, too...
(See better res still photos on Bert's blog.)

Seems like Bert got a crack out of the black undies. Thanks for the video.
Hmmm. Confessions of what? I'm sorry, but that was a little disappointing. I was hoping he might confess that he had just about no actual ideas for creating an interesting photograph.
WOW! Another nice video!!
First Post. LOL
I've heard of plumber's butt....but photographer's butt?
great video it i just finished watching them all.
does anyone know what speedlights he is using in the video's
I really need to get out shooting more. This is such an inspiration!
Once again a great video ! It is very funny for me to follow a belgian blog (I am Belgian myself) from Montreal Canada.
Cannot wait see the after wine shots ;-)
great stuff Bert.

Great stuff. Is this a vivitar he uses?
Also I wonder what he does with these photos. Is there a market for them, or is it just for shooting pleasure?
The model must be great to work with - look at her taking all these great poses. It seems you just need to stand back and click while she's wiggling!
It looked like a vivitar to me at one point. I have to get me a set of pocket wizards. This ebay thing just isnt cutting it for me.
Talented photographer really he is but dang after watching that video I'm sleepy
I have to confess, not the best Bert video I've seen, the pictures are okay at best, nothing special and using shoot-thru white brolly and hard light to balance the sun are nothing to write home about.
Can I just say thank you for a fantastic website and tip my hat to your magnanimity - please keep posting as I have a lot to learn,

The photographer's voice reminds me of the sleazy narrator from a Traci Lords movie called "Traci I Love You"! haha anyway this was a good video. As a sometimes photographer, lighting is the thing that vexes me most. Nice to see how the pros do it.
Bert needs to get one of those longtail T-shirts from Duluth Trading : "Solution to Plumber's Butt"
Pretty good video, but a little hard to understand on the audio.
he is using a vivitar 285 model i assume. what it looked like to me....
sweet videos, i especially liked the one with the environment theme ( the runing man in 2020 ) great concept
i think he is using vivitars 285HV, most of the outdoors stuff was shot with them i think? (from what i can see from the video, i have no actualy facts ) even tho he said he had 2 580EX II canon flashes in the camera bag video.
P.S. Montreal rules!
Thanks for the video. Always great to see a photographer in action.
Hi David:
A quick heads up on
an online scientific American article entitled Digital Forensics: 5 Ways to Spot a Fake Photo
http://www.sciam.com/article.cfm?id=5-ways-to-spot-a-fake&print=true
this is relevant to strobists, as a lot of it is about reverse engineering light, e.g. looking at highlights in eyes to see when people have been cut and pasted into photos.
Well done on the DVD sales. We told you you'd sell out quick. Didn't beleive us eh ? he he.
We showed you... mine should arrive any day soon ! Well done. lol

Very nice Vid, I can't wait untill tomorow ;-)
Very inspiring. I just wish I had a willing and very pretty model on call anytime. Nice video. Nice undies. Thanks David.
He could definitely use a couple of Hildozine Pocket Wizard Caddy's working in that environment. I cringe every time I see someone swinging a PW by the sync cord or lanyard.
These are always fun to watch. I have watched all 7 of them now. Thanks for posting this always a good use of time.
Looks sort of (but not really) like a figure shoot I did in the woods here a bit over a week ago. I used a single Alien Bees B1600 (bare bulb - I forgot the reflector and softbox back at the house) with a Vagabond II power pack, in afternoon sun also using PWs. Too bad I can't insert a photo.
It ended up working out ok.
This video was interesting in that it showed what could be done, but not how, such as the flash ratio, where he took his readings from, what effect he was trying to achieve and did he get it? That kind of thing. Demonstration, not instruction (which would have covered the "confession" part). This wasn't a very useful video for peeps who need to know how to do this kind of lighting and a bit boring for those who do.
