My favorite KZbinr right now! Keep up the great work!

[@fjhphoto]

JYP1M Thank you so much! Definitely doing my best. 😁

[@bogfinken]

Great and well done tutorial! A lot of usable information about the actual shot and the set-up and on the editing. Also it's great to hear what thoughts went through your head during the process. Please keep the good work!

[@fjhphoto]

Thank you! More of these videos coming! =D

[@72jesvil]

Yup, catch light is very important with flash photography. Good stuff!! 👍🏼

[@lisaspics1127]

I noticed you seem to always have someone with you on your shoots. I don’t always have that option. I would love to see how you shoot when you are alone.

[@adventure_photo]

Looks great and interesting to hear the process! Curious if you ever get hassled by police or security having tripods, lights and light stands set up? Or did you need to obtain a permit? It seems harder and harder these days to not get hassled or have to jump through bureaucratic hoops in order to do photography in public. Keep up the great work!

[@jasonbodden8816]

Nicely done, bud.

[@fjhphoto]

Thanks, Jason!

[@rex8607]

Francisco, may I ask. How much do you pay off lighting assistants? Not including your fiance of course. Im finding trying to do this solo with model, c stand, and an ad 400 is really hard without help.

[@hamoodal_jassmi6443]

Thanks for sharing this 😍👏🏼

[@delfinozuniga2793]

Awesome..thank you for the videos

[@smellgoodphotography7722]

How do you add the second light meaning on the settings of the strobe and trigger?I have two lights but only know how to use one.

[@jtjr6364]

Just bought the ad600 pro, thanks for motivating me to get into flash photography. Would you recommend always leaving the bulb mounted as long as it is protected? Or do you remove it when not in use?

[@fjhphoto]

JT Jr I believe it's recommend to remove the bulb but I leave it on because I'm pretty forgetful. From leaving it on for over a year now it hasn't experienced any issues at all. The only thing I can say is the bulb slightly comes out gradually so every time I use it I'll press the bulb firmly in.

[@jtjr6364]

@@fjhphoto thank you so much for the response.

[@angellondian7628]

If I buy an ad600. What ez mod would you buy. Beauty dish or octo. 36 or 48?

[@jonyjonsy]

Please can you explain why you add noise?

[@jonyjonsy]

@@deleon88 I always try put things in the lowest iso to avoid noise, wht the hell would you add it post?! Right?

[@GreenRC24]

Sometimes photos with dark backgrounds can have a weird effect in the shadows. Adding a little noise helps minimize it greatly.

[@israelrmz1613]

Are you from RGV Texas?

[@thesteveprichard]

11:26 very good.

[@fjhphoto]

Thanks, Steve!

[@okiepita50t-town28]

Out of curiosity why do you add noise?

[@fjhphoto]

I should have explained in the video so sorry about that. Sometimes Photos with dark backgrounds can have a weird effect in the shadows. Adding a little noise helps minimize it greatly.

[@okiepita50t-town28]

Didn’t know that, thanks.

[@GreenRC24]

@@fjhphoto Wow! I will need to remember that.

[@taisho1125R]

Is all this possible if you don't have someone to assist you and by yourself with the model? All I ever see in videos are photographers with 1 or 3462 people. Also, the AD600 and 400 Pro lights.....the updated bulbs they made for them have that non transparent side in the front and clear around the sides, does that help against having "hotspots"?

[@GreenRC24]

I have yet to work with an assistant, it's a little more work for me but it works fine.

[@IsmaelRodriguez45]

Godox 24" softbox or 31" glow?? Which is better? Want to use it with the godox tt350

[@fjhphoto]

Ismael Rodriguez Godox 24" if you are going to use the light in lots of sun. If you intend to use indoors, the afternoon, or at night the 31" will be nicer for softer light and you'll have more than enough power with the tt350.

[@PraveenKumar-fs6of]

Do you only shoot Female models ? 😜

[@MichaelChee]

Is that mac wagon ???

[@fjhphoto]

Michael Chee yup! 😁

[@mrlakuakua]

did you use a co gel?

[@fjhphoto]

mrlakuakua No gels used.

[@mrlakuakua]

@@fjhphoto tanks for the prompt reply, how did u achieve the blue sky and still maintain the warm skin tone?

[@fjhphoto]

mrlakuakua flash in general outputs light at 5600k so it's pretty neutral in terms of outputting light that isn't too blue or too orange. The sky was really that blue so by pushing the saturation it made it even more blue and same with her skin color. She's a little less "warm" in person.

Why is this called BTS?
