This is awesome. Such sweet, beautiful photos! You're so good at making your lights look natural! 🙌

[@justinhatchvisuals]

Thank you so much! I hope to actually do more towards my channel, but I'm sure I am going to have to wait until I retire lol.

[@TheClutterLady]

Nice. What is the black column you used at 1:32? Speakers?

[@justinhatchvisuals]

Yes, she was paying attention to the lights flashing on the speakers. So, I used that to my advantage to get her to look my way 😂😂

[@dartz92]

Hi nice photos what flash are you using inside that umbrella.

[@justinhatchvisuals]

@dartz92 hello! I used an AD300PRO in the umbrella. That has been powerful enough for indoor studio lighting.

[@dartz92]

@@justinhatchvisuals i have been thinking of using the same the ad300 pro I was just not sure if it would be strong enough for that big of an umbrella. Do you find yourself running it at full power often.

[@justinhatchvisuals]

@dartz92 I've used my AD300Pro with a 7" reflector outdoors in high-speed sync, and it has worked out well. It's a powerful little flash.
