In this episode, Mark Wallace explains the benefits of shooting tethered in the studio. Mark discusses the gear you'll need, how to set up Lightroom Classic for tethered shooting, and does a quick demonstration photoshoot to put it all together. You'll learn why shooting tethered will save you time, cut down on post-production, allow you to check images during your shoot, communicate with your model and creative team more efficiently, and deliver photos to clients quicker.

    I went back to earliest videos, just to see the Teresa model at that time. She still looks beautiful. The video quality went from 240p to 1080p. wow!

    Hey Mark! I started watching your videos over 13 years ago. I learned a lot from you and enjoyed every single video. Today, most videos are just new gear sponsored adverts presented by paid influencers, often not photographers. You helped me to understand light and discover what photography is really about. My favourite episode was about inverse-square law. Thank you so much, Mark. I hope to see more episodes soon! 👍

    The nostalgia feels from having Teresa back! Snapfactory FTW. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us over the years Mark.

    Another awesome video Mark. You are such a great teacher. I love how you explain the information, and how detailed the information is in your videos.
  • @vikassaraf3122

  • @davel831
    Mark thank you for doing this, and explaining so well. I have started to shoot tethered and see the benefits. Thank you from the Uk. 😀

    Mark is back, HI, been watching you since "1 on 1" days, thank you, learnt a lot from you
  • Awesome work as always. Easy to understand. Kudos to you and your team.
  • @rogerwalton8160
    Excellent video - thanks Mark. I use Manfrotto tripods with Manfrotto plates that are not Arca Swiss. Can I get a tether block that will work with these?
  • I think it is since it allows you to make changes quickly without having to play them back on your camera.

    Hi Mark! I was wondering if you knew anything on how to get an accurate reference photo of a human model. Front and Side view for 3D Modeling! Thanks!!

    When I've done a model shoot like this I've used a collection synchronised to Lightroom Mobile so that I can use my iPad to show the model what's happening.
