Take your photography to the next level with Speedlight | Strobe Photography Tutorial

Learn the basics of using your speedlight to take your photography to the next level. There are bounce flash, straight forward flash, TTL daytime flash just as your basics before jumping into strobe and off camera flash. I will also recommend my favorite flash speedlight for your Nikon, Canon, Sony or Fujifilm camera and gives few reasons why.

I highlight recommend Godox V1 and Flashpoint R2 speedlights over any speedlight and even over the Nikon, Canon, Sony and Fujufilm brand speedlight flashes! They are great quality, tough build, works with each other with transmitter, has HSS and more.

This guy is very very good!! HE IS VERY EASY TO UNDERSTAND AND DOESN’T TALK SO FAST THAT I CAN’T KEEP UP. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

I don't know if anyone has commented this but dang man, what a chill tutorial. It felt like a normal conversation with a friend and not some boring ass lecture. Great stuff! Definitely subbing for more chill tutorials like this, I learned so much from it.

I love how you relate bounce splash to Pool. That’s very helpful.

If you have nothing to bounce the light, you can always go wireless and remove the flash off the camera and hold it at 45degrees with one hand and take a photo with the other. This works and is better than straight on flash!

The explanation of how bouncing light is like playing pool helped so much. Always struggled with how to position my flash so it bounces properly, but makes total sense now and I'm eager to get my next flash gig to test it out in real-time!

I recently got into photography and want to learn how to use a speedlite in any scenario. This video was incredibly easy to follow, even as a beginner. Myong made it so engaging and not boring at all, with clear examples and practical tips for using light effectively. Awesome content! Thank you so much!!

Nice tutorial! In case anyone is still confused, I always do: 
Method 1:
shutter speed: 1/200, match your ISO and flash power, adjust aperture to your liking. 

Method 2:
I start my my shutter at 1/200, aperture at f/4, ISO at 400, and flash at 1/16. Too dark? Raise your ISO to 800.

Cheers!

This is the first video where I finally understand! I had given up on trying to learn how to shoot with a speed light, but now I’m excited to go back out and try again! Thank you!

I’m so thankful that I came across this video. I had to shoot an indoor event today and I always faced issues with the lighting. Today was the first time that I ever used an external flash and I made use of the ceiling bounce light method, and it was truly a game changer. Nobody is ever gonna believe that I shot the pictures with a eos1300d 😂. Many thanks for sharing your tutorial ❤

[Ahkif.天皓]

Honestly, one of the most straightforward tutorials out there, grasped everything in minutes!

[KiyaDaDiva]

I'm just getting into photography using a speedlite. This video was very helpful and easy to understand. 👍🏽

[NYDJNJA]

I struggled with this for SO long and this is the first time ever I found a decent answer/tutorial and now I really get it. Thank you so much !

[richarddeleon]

The pool metaphor was perfect. Made way more sense to my mind with that description. I'm a pool player.

[alexvilloria]

Myong truly is an expert. He’s a wizard with lighting, composition, and customer service! Thanks for sharing some awesome tips 🔥

[HateCrewMTL]

Shout-outs to you for this video. I just got back from a Golf tournament and I used a speedlight at the reception hall. I was always reluctant to use a flash, but your tutorial helped me understand how to use it efficiently and it level up'd my game. Much appreciated!

[demotri]

Solid video man. Everything is explained simply and makes so much sense. And the idea of thinking about the flash as playing pool is something that I'll keep in mind forever

[paulroux]

Thank you for explaining the reverse bounce off back wall for closer subjects. The snooker analogy with diagrams was very easy to understand.
