So, candlelight is a really cool light source,

but we often don't consider it as a

light source.

It's ambient, it's beautiful, it might look good

in the background, all those different things, but

there's a couple of really cool things that

you can do with them.

And also, there's a couple of pitfalls that

you gotta be wary of.

So, what we're gonna do, we've got some

beautiful candles just here on this ledge.

Let's get our couple to come nice and

close to that candlelight.

Remember guys, that candlelight is usually from below.

When it's from below, it means it might

create a very unattractive, unflattering shadow on the

upper cheekbone.

So, we just need our couple to tilt

their faces towards the candlelight so that we

get that even light.

So, that pose will be dictated by what's

going on.

So now, okay, so you're seeing what's happening

with Lisa is that she's got those shadows

falling on her upper cheekbone, just underneath her

eye.

It's not as flattering.

So, what we're gonna do now is tilt

her face.

That's it, chin down.

Perfect, just there.

Beautiful, and we're gonna get Dylan so that

you can feel this moment too.

Even if I don't include your hands, it's

important that we get that beautiful feeling there.

Now, let's just get that back to where

it was.

If we just put it up a bit

and then sandwich it right behind your back

there.

That's it, and then get it on your

other shoulder as well.

I think that'd be really nice.

Yeah, and then you can hold it because

I'm gonna be hiding your hands here.

Okay, stunning.

So now, let's see what we've got.

We've already got it on a tungsten white

balance, so incandescent.

I'm gonna shoot now at 1.8, because

I think that'll be really cool.

Let's bring the ISO down a little bit

there, and love this.

Of course, we're gonna get a little sliver

in focus, and that's okay.

Lisa, chin down a little bit, turn your

face to the right.

Beautiful, that's gorgeous.

Love that, hold it there.

Beautiful.

Nice little softness between you guys, little warmth.

Just feel that warmth, that's gorgeous, beautiful.

Beautiful, love that.

And let's get that beautiful reflection of you

there as well, oh, that's awesome.

What we'll do, I'm gonna turn off the

ice light that was illuminating me, and then

I'm gonna shoot this square.

I can do it afterwards, but why wouldn't

I do it now?

Yeah, that's stunning, guys.

Keep that expression, it's really beautiful.

Hold it there, hold it there.

Just take my time.

Again, beautiful expression, guys, that's gorgeous.

Bit of giggling there, you're whispering in her

ear.

It's stunning, beautiful.

Eyes at me, really mysterious, Lisa, gorgeous.

And that is beautiful, wow.

So guys, join this tutorial on candlelight.

It reminds me of just how beautiful candlelight

can be.

So I should practice what I preach and

shoot more of it.
