7 Quick and EASY Flash Photography Tips

[@viragy]

This was beyond commenting anything … this should be officially recorded in high definition audio and made available on all platforms for ppl like us to learn and find peace. Amazing, no words at all. 🙏🏻 🙏🏻 🙏🏻

[@wendystumbaugh695]

I love how you really do explain what’s necessary to make your instructions useful. For example you are very detailed with using 2 full CTO gels for the sun shots. How far to place the light. … Most youtubers would just mention using a cto. Your videos are actually useful! Thank you, Vanessa!

[@MarcoMoreno5757]

Thank you! No matter how experienced you are, there is always something new to be learned.

[@OO7JAMS]

Never used lighting but after seeing Vanessa explains, I definitely want to start using flash. Love her vibe and simple step by step walk through.

[@VanessaJoy]

Give it a try!

[@ademola5803]

This one of the top five 26 photographic mins of my life in recent times. Thanks for the brush up video Vanessa. God will bless you for this video.

[@VanessaJoy]

My pleasure ☺️

[@popcornparam]

When she said subscribe and then adaroma tv poped up - that's when I realised that i was watching an adaroma tv video. Total fan @vanessa

[@VanessaJoy]

Aw thanks!!!

[@Karlushisanabia]

Same here!

[@jimoryan4159]

I have rediscovered my interest in flash photography after some years concentrating on landscape work. I found your video very instructive and easy to follow. You are clearly an experienced professional but you didn't talk down to us, or assume a level of technology or jargon that would be intimidating. Well done!

[@3arrows426]

Excellent tutorial! I especially like that you are showing everyone that you don't need pro level camera body and lens to achieve excellent results (to some degree). I've been out of the game for a few years and your video is a great refresher.

[@DaveStarr100.3]

Thank you for your educational content. I'm digging through the back catalog going through all the speedlight and flash videos and I appreciate your teaching style. Much appreciated.

[@deanhenthorn8674]

That was the best video I have ever seen for on carmera and off camera flash - for the work I do. Very much appreciated and great presentation skills.

[@liauchungren848]

There's good thing about this woman photographer is that in the first part she's only using budget set up to show how simple OCF can change the image of a picture. I like it because she's unpretentious tutor, but down to earth. By the way, model looks super, that's an ice on the cake for this educational video. Good.

[@caravanlifenz]

Thanks for this awesome video. It was such a nice change to watch a video without advertisements every 60 seconds too.

[@lisrooks3821]

that would be one of the best tutorials I've seen. very helpful and inspirational. I've been scared of using off-camera flash because it's completely new to me, but I will give it a go now! Thank you!

[@tawandamachona4481]

In Shona we say “Wakanyanya” translates to “you are too much”. Great creative ideas on how to manipulate light. I’ll try out these most definitely.

[@richardsears6005]

as a landscape photographer i am actually looking to get into protrait shooting and this will be a great help thanks

[@jimwlouavl]

I always learn something from your videos, even something subtle like how to shoot while holding a reflector or using gels. And seeing some of them again in a compilation is fine by me. Plus, it’s just so obvious that you and Julianna enjoy working together. I hope your move doesn’t end the two of you working together.

[@VanessaJoy]

We absolutely do! More of her coming soon :)

[@fredaagyeman3898]

My first time watching you. I love you already 🥰💕❣️ Keep being Amazing

[@marcomark8]

Did you know you were going to be a good teacher/instructor? Great videos!

[@webmaster4ZLCB]

Thanks Vanessa and Adorama. This had to take a ton of time to film and edit. First rate job.

[@januarbudhidharma2091]

[@imanomari6118]

[@MrWolf__]

Some very useful tips here.. Been scared of using a flash so been putting it of for a while.. Finally bought one... And will be trying all your tips.. Thanks 😊

[@raidingtombs]

I love ALL of this! What if you need a flash on camera AND off camera for the golden hour hack?

[@dmundes]

I love the way you explain.

[@EdwardKilner]

Well worth watching. You do know how to use flash and how to teach us to use it better. I was impressed with the way you used walls and ceilings as “found” reflectors without requiring lots of studio equipment.

[@VanessaJoy]

On location equipment is my fav 😉

[@GONZOFAM7]

This is fantastic thanks..saved this video for later reference.

[@VanessaJoy]

Glad to hear it ☺️

[@captureallen8632]

Great tips. I have my first wedding in a couple weeks so these tips help a lot. Thank you.

[@raymondkongshumt4raymond128]

I really like taking picture with flash, especially for the fill flash (outdoor portrait). Thank you for your sharing how to use flash. Looking forward to watching your next KZbin again! Taking picture with flash is fun!

[@VanessaJoy]

Thx for watching ☺️

[@WhoCutTheCheese1951]

[@jeffnewman8261]

Great tips. I remember watching each of these video's in this collection when they aired, but this was a nice review.

[@VanessaJoy]

Happy u like!

[@juniareepictures6513]

Amazing, really nice tutorial

[@shaunflemingphotography]

I really like my little T7. It's the camera I learned on. It has its limitations but if you can learn to shoot low light and off camera flash with it you can shoot with any other camera.

[@VanessaJoy]

Exactly

[@MurrayNJ08]

Stunning tutorial. Always the best from Vanessa. 😉🥰

[@VanessaJoy]

Thx ☺️

[@57sapke]

Great tutorial. Last week babyshower and use (fill) flash outside with white bounce card 👌

[@VanessaJoy]

Nice!

[@abdullaalmudahka5995]

Very good, sweet pictures, great photographer

[@naifmukadam]

thanks for the flash tips and posing guide 🤩👌✌

[@DebbieSinger-j8x]

Wow I learned so much!!!❤

[@markferrell2470]

Good info. Beautiful ladies

[@TheBlacksnake15]

Really educational as always Vanessa! One question, when you’re using the CTO gels, what WB setting do you have in camera? I always use K mode and set up to 5500 if I’m using my flash. Thanks for sharing!

[@VanessaJoy]

Usually around 5800 for a little More warmth

[@maureenmarshall1070]

I have just started a steep learning curve, having bought my first speedlight godox 685ii, and now find I have to purchase a trigger if I want it to work off camera, as my nikon D5300 won't trigger it. Your video was very interesting and helpful, so thank you.

[@abdullaalmudahka5995]

Canon 1Dx3 has a very good quality when it comes to the colors and the clarity of the image

[@LearnWith_IsaacMichael]

Superb session, happy I watched till the end 🙌🙌

[@VanessaJoy]

Yayyy thx ☺️

[@CarmenFalkenburg]

Really great to come across your advice on using flash. ❤️

[@paulineawour7675]

So much learnt. It's time to put in practice

[@wigantrev]

What an awesome video!!! I shoot weddings and honestly learned a good few things today, the fact that I'm in the UK with poop light means I will certainly be using some of your ideas. Thanks Vanessa :-)

[@charlesstephens5974]

Very informative, good practical and easy to use. Well presented!

[@jojos1007]

Wonderful video very easy to understand thank you!

[@VanessaJoy]

Thx for watching!

[@michaelpollina8034]

Great lesson

[@jeremiahyoung5931]

Wow thanks so much for this detailed video. I've found myself in those big rooms many times and tried to find something to bounce the flash off, love the fold out reflector you had there will try to find that for myself. Thanks again for a very informative video.

[@VanessaJoy]

Happy you liked!

[@lilmama4426]

Wonderful, Thanks For Sharing!😊

[@sugarlib]

You are a star ⭐

[@dreadedtruthhecquard1885]

Your work is beautiful.

[@simonsuen5946]

Nice tips! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@janbeaujon9583]

I don’t know if this was mentioned before in the comments but FYI those are banana trees . I really like the Adorama tutorials and yours are fantastic

[@williambarry9921]

Great video, interesting informative and slow enough that I can keep up without missing a thing, that you so much

[@ajukhancamhunter4718]

Nice presentation 🌺

[@shy-guy5544]

Very interesting and informative. Is there any on-camera flash diffuser or mini soft box that you recommend? Thanks

[@marclabro]

very nice video. I already saw lot of these but good to recap :-) Which umbrella diameter did you use from prophoto ? Do you prefer it to a softbox or just easier for traveling ? better to use a white surface in that case than a silver one, too harsh ?

[@VanessaJoy]

Easier for traveling and setup, and I think it’s the large size. I like the white so it doesn’t accentuate shine :)

[@Hari-Photo-Videos]

started with entry level ended with advanced to advance level body. woo great...

[@VanessaJoy]

Tried to cover all the bases there

[@antoinernb9398]

[@hmingtearalte23]

Wonderful and Stunning tutorial

[@southerncaliforniarealesta8206]

Such amazing info… and those colored gels were soooo fun. My Godox flash came with some gels, so I am going to play 😊

[@ryanmsellars]

R5, 85mm 1.2? life is rough hunh? lol haha nice gear!!! this is a good video, I wasnt entirely sure about the orange OCF at first but I can see how going this method would save ALOT of steps in post editing especially if importing to apply filters to a large group of photos at once if someone does that. I am going to have to watch this again later. thanks for the video!

[@sanuratennakoon7979]

Thanks for the video 😊

[@doptimist]

Great video : ) in the final shot, for the off camera flash, was it bounced off the walls ceiling?

[@njeruk13]

Very informative, thanks.

[@Sparxdd]

wow! that was so helpful!

[@ajaykb9108]

Greatest mind blowing outstanding

HI THERE LOVED YOUR VIDEO..COULD YOU TELL ME WHAT LENS YOU WERE USING..MANY THANKS..PHIL

[@xfinity_editz]

Good video, thank you

[@shinc999]

Thanks this was informative

[@VanessaJoy]

😀

[@kathynassa9974]

Fabulous video. Can I ask where did you get your leather single camera strap? Is it a harness style? I can only find ones for two cameras. Ty

[@VanessaJoy]

The company went out of biz 😞

[@ChaChaCafe]

What size is that Profoto umbrella used on the couple? And can a regular speed light be used with that to get the same results?

[@sirrollsafatty]

What sort of focus points would one use at an event to have the best focus possible? Single point?

[@silence1s3]

Great tutorial! 👌

[@walybox]

Wow en realidad muy buen tips aprendí muchas cosas hoy gracias

[@VanessaJoy]

Es mi placer ☺️
