Learned so much in 20mins that I hadn’t in 2 years

The fact that you post your EXIF along with the photos shows how much you care when you educate! Thank you, you just earned a sub!

Wow... Most informative video on how to USE the SETTINGS with the flash. Other videos rarely go into this and usually get you to buy a diffuser, softbox, or some other type of GEAR. I have the same shooting style so this was really helpful for me. Finally got a flash after 5 years of photography lol

When the subject and the photographer are moving and distance from the camera to the subject is varying. The best is TTL plus Flash exposure compensation. Many photographers don´t like TTL because they don´t know how to use Flash exposure compensation. At weddings I only use Manual Flash during posing photos, when the subject is steady.

I agree 100% with everything and especially with using manual settings on flash is better and more correct, but as a wedding photographer, there are cases where your subject is moving all the time and its distance from the walls is changing (because a lot of times there is not a seiling), this is where TTL is the only way to keep the same style of shooting by keeping the same amount of light hittiing your subject :)

[ryanyong]

This is by far the easiest-to-understand video that I have watched! Thanks for this tutorial! You earned a sub 😄

Thank you so much for this video, so informative and in such a user-friendly language. The examples were stunning and the comparison between the shots with the lamp in the beginning and the different settings was gold! I've always wanted the natural look and now im excited to try it out. Thanks again, subscribed!❤

ok this helped so much! I shot a wedding last night and used some of your tips that I learned only an hour or so before I started and loved the results!! feeling much more confident with my flash now, thanks!

[MarikevanderMerwe-ovfr]

This video was life changing for me! Wow thank you!!!

[quagmireable]

Great stuff.... hope more "photographers" watch it and this reminded me when I was shooting at a wedding where the wedding photographers (2 of them) had *NO* flash between them even when the ceremony was outdoors and seriously backlit. Found it so funny when the "photographers" told the family they couldn't shoot formal family photos at their floral arch because its "too backlit".... LOL

Thanks, Buddy. I´ve got only "dark" lenses (Canon 70-200 f4 L IS. Canon 15-85 f4.5-5.6.) and some 50mm f1.8 lenses. I´m going to do the job with my speedlites.

Carrying light is very important when you are out in the field. Less is more. So getting great images while having to worry about what light equipment to use is critical when you are short for time for weddings and you don't want to miss that moment. Also it is easier on your back especially when you go solo because the B/G are on a budget and don't want to hire a 2nd shooter. That is just crazy....lol but they do it.

I am a wedding photographer! I already use most of these tricks to obtain the photo that I see fit. but still, I LEARNED A LOT from this video. the way you explained everything is simple yet so effective!! heck i've been shooting weddings for 4 years now, but that cheat sheet is so handy I'm going to print it and slide it in my bag on next wedding! you never know when amnesia hits and get stressed over a simple setting.
thanks a lot 💙

[petermooney]

how do you adjust your flash by distance? I’m having issues using flash on primes. As I move around, I feel like I have to adjust my flash each time because if I use the same power, I grt very different results. Would you have any tips on this?

[klinela]

This was very helpful. Thank you so much!
