Plus, this kit includes a backdrop support system, three different color backgrounds, backdrop clamps, four seven-foot light stands, four daylight bulbs, and a single-head light holder. The light stand measures 85 inches when fully extended, but can be folded up to only 27 inches. The soft light illuminated by the softboxes is suitable for both still-life photography and portraits, and the quality will make you want to take this kit everywhere.

But the previews were so great I took the plunge on this one. This course is so great. You will not believe how easy Felix makes lighting - so easy. I can walk into almost any set or location and get to work quickly without fussing and fumbling around. If I have two lights - great - if I have only one - great.
My portraits have taken a giant leap forward thanks to this series. So if you are on the fence It is so worth the money and your time to watch the videos. I'm a relatively new photographer and I truly believe this course saved me years of trial and error. I'm so not a numbers person. Felix teaches you to understand why light behaves a certain way and how to make it look the way you want, without needing a math degree.
I recently did my first group shoot and I was pretty terrified. Lighting Series to the rescue! I didn't have the space to replicate the set up from the videos exactly, but because I understood the principles, I was able to adapt to fit the location and my clients were thrilled with the result!
I do indeed love it. I see that I now get much more consistently good results and the guess work is greatly reduced. There is always that element of surprise, but now it is most often pleasant. Thank you Felix for paving the way to freedom for us. That feels great! I'm an Emmy Award winning camerman, and Felix completely enhanced my game in numerous ways.
Most grateful. Felix breaks it down and explains everything in such a way that I GET it! And now I take in a chapter in the course and I apply it again and again in the studio and have built this beautiful repertoire of light within my portfolio that I can offer an array of options to create amazing portraiture for my clients. Now instead of being afraid of strobes, now I experiment and finesse my work in a multidimensional way that I am sought after for in my community.
Thank you, Felix! ROI again and again!!! I have told a ton of people about it!! You are the best lighting teacher ever, Felix! For people photographs.. I have tried Signature Lighting and One Light, basically. Sooo FUN :. This weekend I am going to try backlighting a subject. Your Dr. Thanks for all you do, Felix. You are a much appreciated treasure :. If you're only going to buy one set of lighting tutorials, no matter what genre you shoot, I feel that this should be the one.
There is always more for me to learn but thanks really to this series, I now have confidence that no matter where I am, in the studio, in someone's home, outside at the beach etc I can produce flattering, natural looking lighting with no horrible hot spots - even with pretty basic gear.
The signature lighting setup itself has been worth its weight in gold to me and has probably saved me years in experimentation - it has now become my go-to lighting setup. Thank you Felix for a very well thought out and clearly explained course. I have been using his techniques for the past 6 months and it has taken my work to a new level. His teaching style is direct, easy to understand and personable. I highly recommend. Felix is so amazing with how he explains everything!
I have a small shooting space and honestly these videos are the best lightening investment ever! He teaches it in a way even a five year old could learn it! I love all the videos and this has helped me so much to explore new ways to light my portraits.
If you're new to lighting and are not sure if you should invest then stop questioning yourself and buy this course. It's a total game changer! Buy it and never doubt yourself. With Felix's insight into alternative lighting i now light shoots better and finally can create the look of natural light with strobes. The videos are a worthy investment.
My photography has been taken to a higher level thanks to Felix. He is a great teach with a big heart and a love for teaching. After reading all the reviews I wondered if it could really be as good as everyone said. One video into the course I knew I'd made the right decision. Felix breaks everything down so that it's so simple to understand. I was already pretty comfortable with artificial lighting, but I wanted to up those skills even more and figure out how to get that soft, painterly light that Felix is so good at creating.
I was blown away by how much I learned in this course and rewatch the videos frequently. I learn something every time I watch. Thank you Felix for this amazing course! It has helped me to become a better photographer! Your style of teaching aligns with my style of learning: the videos are simple, efficient, easy to watch and very comprehensive. The fact that you challenge your audience to use their own eyes, personal tastes and experimentation really appeals to me.
I feel empowered knowing that I have access to the videos whenever I feel stuck, or if a new situation presents itself that I need to be prepared for. You cover every-day professional lighting challenges, and I truly feel that watching the series heavily improved my skill level.
Minimal investment with maximum return. It is a game-changer. Best lighting instruction on the market. I have struggled with the low ceiling small space problem for years. Felix talks in simple terms and techniques that you can understand. Thank you! One of the best purchases I have ever made. His way of teaching is easy to follow and put into practice. I recently arrived to a photo shoot with 2 strobes but only one stand!!! I didn't even stress, I just put into practice what I had learnt and bounced the light using one strobe for a successful shoot.
Thank you Felix!!!! Even though I couldn't really afford to buy it at the time, I knew my work needed it - and I was right. Felix Kunze's easy-to-understand, friendly teaching style has made a huge impact on my work! Between Felix Kunze and Sue Bryce, my work has improved to a professional standard, and my clients are blown away and purchasing more photos. I'm super proud of where I'm at now with my photography. Thank you for creating this invaluable series, Felix! I was so overwhelmed, impatient and frustrated with lighting before.
Most of all, your teaching style has encouraged me to experiment more with the equipment I have and how I use it, which has been fun and very confidence-boosting.
It may seem simple, but I love this self-portrait I did recently. I knew how I wanted the light to look and because of how much my understanding has grown, and my willingness to just play around, I was able to create the look I wanted pretty quickly. It has been nothing but a wonderful and life saving investment. I now own the Starter Lighting Kit, Felix has mentioned, and I love love love it and the ease it was in learning how to use it thanks to Felix and this series.
It never would have been that way without his teachings as I tend to make things harder than they need to be, and now they're not. Still have a ton of practice to go but every shoot is better than the last. Felix covers a good variety of lighting setups and techniques. That alone was worth the investment into this series for me. As the title of the series indicates, several sections include Sue Bryce along with Felix working through different scenarios.
Those segments tend to be heavier on interaction between Sue and the models and crew, with posing versus focusing on the process of lighting those scenes. Certainly a bonus for those wanting to observe real-world photographer model interaction. Especially the segments that include Sue. So much time passes between the shots all the nuances that change are less obvious.
If you are on facebook, I recommend joining the "Lighting with Felix Kunze" group. There is a variety of members at all skill levels and Felix frequents the group. Highly recommend this to beginners and advanced photographers alike. I am now ready to bring on my studio A-game! It is a KEY part of my work and has drastically improved my lighting.
But I hesitated in the beginning on price It isn't an unreasonable price at all for the value. Plus for me I was wondering if it was really going to be that different to the creative live stuff. It was worth it. Shifted the way I think about light. Definitely worth the investment. Thank you Felix Kunze???? I have long said that a teacher's resume is found in the performance of their students. With this in mind, it is clear that this course brought to you by Felix is among the greatest educational opportunities available online today.
A cursory search of his facebook group reveals a huge jump in the abilities of those taken the lessons contained in this tutorial. The impact is nearly immediate - if mastery really does take 10, hours of practice then Felix has helped you eliminate 8, of them with his nearly revolutionarily simple approach to lighting.
One does not need hundreds of thousands of dollars in equipment in order to execute the vision found within these videos. You need only an open mind, a belief that you too can be among those skyrocketing toward stardom and a device to watch the videos on - Felix will help you navigate the rest. If you are on the fence - get it off it. Tomorrow favors the bold, not those who would tetter on greatest. Join those of us who are increasing our abilities and income in leaps and bounds today - you will not regret your decision.
It doesn't matter if you are a veteran strobe user or just starting to learn about artificial lighting, Felix will guide you through various setups and various techniques and tricks so you can pull off any kind of shoot in any kind of space. One of the best investment I have ever did for my photography business. About a year ago an acquaintance got me a gig shooting several doctors at an office.
I owned two strobes but had absolutely no control over them and my photos always came out too bright, too dark, too contrasty, etc. In a panic and with only about 3 days to prep I scoured over all the saved websites and courses I had looked into over time and came across the lighting series.
It worked perfectly! I could absolutely not have done this without this series. The shoot went very well. Absolutely worth every penny. It changed my world. While I have been a full time studio photographer for over 20 years, my lighting always was safe and flat, like your department store photo studio.
This series has grown me more in a week of watching than I learned in 3 years of photography in college. So easy and simple, yet so incredibly effective. You seriously need to get this if you want the rise above the mundane! Some parts I've watched once, some multiple times. I've played with concepts and created some personal work, some following exactly the setup others modifying and exploring.
Awesome value for money. Very easy to understand and apply, and I love that Felix doesn't get hung up on settings but more principles. So easy to understand and replicate exactly what Felix is doing.
I still refer to it from time to time as a refresher. There are a few things I have to still try so it is on my list. If you are on the fence, you need to get it. Best series I have watched to improve my craft. Felix made them very easy to listen and watch. The videos helped me a lot to understand lighting and now I do my own version using the lighting I have available in my studio.
Thank you Felix. When its fun it's totally more memorable and more humanised. This is Felix at his finest and a very strong educational series by him. Thank You. I was so unsure of lighting before this but now have the confidence to shape the light the way I want it! I found him to be an excellent teacher I have implemented it successfully and highly recommend it to anyone trying to learn studio lighting This one has so much more!
It totally changed the way I light my clients and now my work is at a professional level. So grateful to you Felix!! Felix is not only easy to understand, but does not go into the technical world, so anyone can learn from him. There was a noticeable jump in the quality of my work before The Lighting Series and after to the point where I've started taking what I've learned and started experimenting with my own setups.
Your instruction is fully understandable and achievable in many situations. You've presented the techniques in an interesting and personable way that is truly enjoyable. I have years of experience with studio strobe and although I may have known this technique from vague tutorials from others, your's was all out there fully explained and non-intimidating to understand. In short, this helped me to really step up my portrait light quality. I have been photographing weddings for 10 years and primarily work with natural light.
In the past few years, I have been expanding my knowledge of studio lighting so that I can give my clients incredible portraits on wedding day even if the light is less than ideal After watching the Lighting Series, I was blown away by how easy it is to create that gorgeous light Felix is known for.
I can now truly control my light even on a busy wedding day and I am so thankful for that new skill! If anyone is on the fence about this course, stop hesitating! Even experienced pros can learn something super valuable from this series!! Applying it has given me more ability and confidence. It has has gotten me more business. I really was frustrated because it didn't matter how many courses I bought, I just couldn't understand light And whenever I went to a workshop, the mentor talked about light from the perspective of the equipment they used, which is ok, but how can I know about the quality of the equipment if I didn't understand light?
So, in my last try, I bought Felix course and Oh my God!! Only watching the One strobe made my work take a step forward, I could see it, people around me could see it, and that helped me to upsell!!
I'm barely starting, because I like to watch a video and then practice practice practice, next video, and practice practice practice But with the few things I saw, I spend less time editing, I can make a lot of more work with my small space, my two backdrops and my vflat wich I made with fabric, because I haven't found the right supplies in my country than when I tried to have at least 5 different backdrops. I just want to say: thank you Felix!!!!!!
I decided to take up photography as the art passion for the second half of my life. But after spending time via youtube etc I was starting to worry I'd never have enough time to learn what I need to produce anything decent.
This course changed my whole outlook and I'm really grateful -- so grateful that I am going to gush praise about it for a bit: Not only can I now appreciate what is so skillful about the work of pros like Felix and Sue, but this course quickly gave me understanding, skills, and most importantly confidence that I can produce some respectable photos myself. Just last week I bought Pratik Naik's brilliant Retouching series as well.
It is so good! I don't know if I will ever try to make money off photography -- I'm not going after the business of the pros in my town. My goal is actually to be able to produce beautiful portraits of people who sadly do not like themselves enough to ever pay for a portrait and are terrified to even sit for one.
High school friends of my kids as well as many adults I talk to about this. I am finding that the lighting techniques used by these pros plus posing and basic skin retouching help them see themselves at their very best, and it is so good to be part of that moment.
So, I have a new art form I can appreciate and learn as a way to complement my corporate existence, a potential retirement job or enough skills and point of view on lighting to assist a pro, a new way to engage meaningfully with my kids and community, and an ability to give the gift of a positive self-image experience to those who need it. All that for a few hundred dollars?! Best investment ever. Thank you, Felix, Sue, and Pratik. I'm only part way through the lighting series videos, but it has been hands down THE best investment in my own professional development!
As a practical learner, I love Felix's approach to explaining things in real terms and showing the set-ups - and seeing the effects change as lighting and subjects etc are moved. Straight forward and perfect for an intuitive learner like myself. Clear explanations and Felix doesn't get lost in the dreaded details but plenty of information to allow you to absorb and think creatively. Thank you so much for making it "ok" to not have ratios etc Just follow the light.
Found much value in the combined Felix and Sue Bryce's segments also! Created a new spark in me when I was feeling less inspired. Thank you again! Thank you Felix for taking the mystery out of lighting. Exactly what I needed to take my fear of strobes into a love affair with endless possibilities. He explains it so clearly and simply. It clicked, literally, and I binged watch all videos in 2 days.
It changed my way of seeing light and watching Felix and Sue Bryce together, it was like having the secret sauce to lighting and posing.
Purchase the series, study it, and enjoy the results! Felix has a wonderful personality and teaching style. His techniques are spot on and the explanations of them are thorough as well as easy to understand.
My photography was good before but after learning from Felix, and making the necessary tweaks to my setups, my images were brought to a higher level instantly! Not after a few tries. I would recommend that you take notes while you watch. I sketched out the setups and made notes of key points i wanted to remember when i shot. Felix has done his part, time to do yours. Taking it seriously and truly studying will be the best thing you do next to purchasing the series.
Good luck and enjoy! Series is worth every penny. Learned a lot, now if only some creativity would kick in. A million thanks to you Felix. So far I have watched six an am thoroughly impressed. I am a self taught, aspiring photographer and have always been afraid of getting into working with studio lights. I fear no more. Felix was crystal clear in his explanations and examples. I loved that he did not fixate on camera settings and light meters.
I feel I can now blow the dust of my light boxes and strobe and take the punge into this new adventure. Thanx Felix. After watching Felix working and bending light from simple to complex group lighting it elevated my working to next level.
The best thing about his approach is it can apply to any form of photography from portraits to weddings, from family to commercial work.
