I like very much Jean Francois video tutorials: they’re very useful!
I work very much with umbrellas with models, but i prefer softboxes when shooting jewellery: maybe is personal taste, but I’m curious to hear from other photographers too…

A very good tutorial, his demonstration of the shadow, using his finger and hand, to show the different hardness and softness, that you get from different distances of the light source, was excellent.

A down to earth, no nonsence demonstration of the lightning patterns of each medium. I learn a lot. Thanks Mr. Jean Francois.

If I’m using an umbrella, I definitely prefer using a shoot through.
