Glad to see you back in the saddle again! You are quite an inspiration to so many, and I appreciate your down to earth sharing on how to be a better photographer!

[@deenugent473]

Great work Francisco, the photos are amazing!

[@tonythomas5978]

Great tutorial and awesome to see the sooc raw files too, really appreciate that transparency and how you adjust to get the final image. Kudos to you Francisco!

[@clickymcclickerson6935]

I've shot there before, such good scenery for portraits. Good stuff, thank you for sharing your editing process with us.

[@BackpackerUmesh]

This BTS series is just have webseries like feeling for me, I eagerly wait for every next episode 😍, love from india 🇮🇳

[@kumarvimal1992]

Yaaay ! I have something to watch now ! Keep up the good work Joel :)

[@Avat6]

Stunning work

[@vimacce]

Researching about two light setup for my first portrait session. Tks a lot, man.

[@aussie2uGA]

These are awesome tips and edits - the final image really pops. I struggle though on how to edit this way with any sort of volume photography.

[@fjhphoto]

Oh yes, with volume photography it's just not sensical to edit this much. When I did weddings I would only edit a few shots like this. Everything else had minor adjustments.

[@mathewshoyt1763]

awesome video... thank you for being transparent with your editing.

[@Raymond5621]

A great in-depth tutorial. Thanks.

[@TMIDD]

I use the godox ad300 pro on my channel for photoshoots. I love this light especially the power of the modeling lamp has slight advantages over the godox ad200. Nice video.

[@fitzhomestudio1306]

Excellent tutorial 👌 thank you so much for hard work.

great work and explanation buddy!

PERFECT TUTORIAL! Congrats!

[@conniearevalo7434]

Nice!!

[@tragelaphustours]

Amazing tutorial. U really help me so much.

[@romiemiller3093]

I have my back screen brighter too, for the same reason. But I know what it looks like when the exposure is correct. And if it's critical, I check the histogram. I also have a combination ambient/ 1-degree reflected/flash meter. It's worth the $600.00.

[@dennisk5818]

Nice lecture. I agree that a grid on the rim would have dropped the distracting highlight on the handrail behind her. In lieu of the grid (which can get too directional at times), reposition the rim so that you retain the back light value on the model, but the angle is such that it changes the angle of incidence of the light on the handrail, thereby dropping out the excessive highlight coming back to the camera (angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflectance).

[@cleretfernandes5972]

Well done

[@senancebiyev1143]

Super.

[@JamesBrownPhotographics]

Thanks for another great BTS and sharing it all. Just a wee tip, use the Histogram to read exposure rather than the LCD image on the camera. Just curious does Lightroom not show you what the flash settings are in the EXIF data? I don't use Lightroom but my Nikon View NX-i does show flash settings.

[@fjhphoto]

I actually like the extra security from underexposing but yes if I needed better SOOC shots I'd use the histogram. No, right now the only technology able to show the flash data is Nikon with speedlites. Nothing else. After about 4 years of looking for that technology in other strobes or cameras I've only seen it happen with Nikon and their speedlites.

[@ccphotography660]

Thanks for this awesome video. I am wondering how far you are from the model.

[@Zainphotography]

Adorama doesn't export things to Australia. I can only buy things from B&H but they do not have what I want i.e Glow EZ locks!

[@Yuvrajrnvr]

Is it possible to get this kind of results with just speedlights ?? Please reply. Loving your content ❤️

[@fjhphoto]

Yes a speedlite would be capable of this.😊

[@Avat6]

Can one achieve the same sky colour using a CTO gel and drop the WB to 3200K?

[@fjhphoto]

Yeah, definitely. I would say to be on the safe side have a 1/2 CTO as well.

[@Avat6]

@@fjhphoto thankyou so much ..really appreciate your reply. More success to you

[@hagarthehorrible1391]

How is a ND filter only work on a specific camera? I don't get it.

[@jyubiljiny]

Hello sir.. I'm coming from your FB group.. Doing great job by giving free to learn tips on your channel.. Sir which metering mode do you use? I'm getting dark background and exposed model face while using off camera flash in blue hour..

[@fjhphoto]

Highlight metering mode.

[@anzaeria]

I would recommend adjusting your exposure of the background scene until you are happy with it and then add flash afterwards.

[@jyubiljiny]

@@anzaeria will try it. Thanks

[@anzaeria]

@@jyubiljiny Cool. I look forward to hearing how it goes. Yea spend some time getting the background scene exposed right without even turning the flash on. Play around with your exposure settings - increasing or decreasing the exposure as needed. When the background looks good to your eyes, you can start adding flash to the main subject.

[@yvonnemin9143]

Okay I have a really dumb question. I was shooting with a Profoto B10 last night and we were shooting a little earlier than I would have liked. So my light just wasn’t quite strong enough. I was thinking an ND filter might have saved the day but doesn’t that reduce the strength of the light too? TIA

[@zacgrimaldo]

Yes, it will reduce the amount of light hitting the sensor overall, you would have to increase the power of the light or move it closer to your subject. Or if you had HSS, you could raise the shutter speed to control the ambient light. Hope that helps!

Sir please give stock image

[@sebastiankidzinski2811]

I've noticed that when i am shooting ofc with my a7riii and ad200 when i zoom in my pictures are grainy.Is it normal?

[@deenugent473]

Just wondering what is your ISO setting?

[@ivan_12345]

Do you use a warm filter (gel) to change the color temperature?

[@fjhphoto]

No gel used.

[@yony9560]

uy llegue tarde

[@rajeshkommana6974]

plz explain pp setup

[@TraitDOlympe]

Yo FJH, why you blocked me on IG bro ? Are you confusing me with someone else? I don't see you in IG anymore? Is it normal ? 🤔

[@chantalewong]

Is the modifier Bowen’s mount or Godox special mount - which is smaller?

[@fjhphoto]

It's Bowens mount. I'm using the new s bracket. Godox mount modifiers are smaller so that's definitely an option if you prefer that.

[@johntarawallie7661]

hello boss

[@kurtdorr]

Where were your lights placed?

[@fjhphoto]

Camera left - Godox AD300 Pro Camera right - Godox AD600BM

[@geerose4732]

Not sure you can help me with this issue or should I say “Hopefully” you can I’m editing on MacBook Air every time I’m done with my edit an export it it’s darker then the original edit I wide up having to import it again an add more exposure!!! WHY IS THAT?

[@fjhphoto]

Sound like one of those devices are calibrated wrong. What you can do is see how the image looks on the MacBook and then how it looks on other devices. What's changing? Then when you edit again you can make sure not to add to much of those changes.

[@geerose4732]

FJH Photography thanks one last thing how do I calibrate my computer? Is there a specific software I need?

[@Inmysightstarget]

What lights did you use you spoke to fast hard for me to hear

Talented photographer. May I recommend you talk less. I had to wait 2 minutes to get the content. People will subscribe without asking. Keep up the great work.

[@maxrogers9639]

The only issue I have with your photos lately is the 35mm distorts the model's feet too much.

[@fjhphoto]

Even for full body?🤔

[@maxrogers9639]

FJH Photography Please forgive me, sometimes I forget because I see you guys on KZbin does not mean I can comment without first honoring what you do for the community. I admire your work and have tried to mimic what you do. I love the large modifier and soft light you’re known for. Lately you r 35mm work for full body has the model’s forward foot look disproportionately larger than the other. My first comment same subject should have been written differently and I apologize.

[@rajaclicksphotos7068]

Amazing tutorial as always. Really helpful, thanks for inspiring :)
