[@jkspinalchoice]

Absolutely gorgeous. Don't blush, but yeah, it shows that you love helping people look their best. A treasure.

[@barrongaillard9623]

This is one of your best videos yet. Insanely instructional (that's fun to say)!👍

[@craig_cunha]

Barron Gaillard Agreed. Excellent video Omar!

[@chasescooper]

Can tell you’ve done this a long time- simple setup, but you’ve obviously practiced what looks good. 👍Great shots and fun setting I don’t think I’ve seen before in a lighting video

[@geoffreysmith6045]

Great tutorial Omar! I would really like to see more of your lighting techniques with the associated results such as you did here. This is very helpful. Thanks!!

[@RandyPollock]

Love to see lighting setups that we can all do and your images show what can be done with practice.

[@markyp2532]

Omar your interaction and guidance for the kids / family is so so good

[@PushToTalkGames]

Great images, Omar. Love the presentation format in this video and great to see content focused purely on how to make good images. Happy New Year to you and yours.

[@josecolon8143]

Outstanding Omar! Mate you hit it out of the park! Outstanding explanation about light fall off!! Great educational video, gooooooorgeous work!!! Man I love them! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

[@ogonzilla]

Thanks man.

[@josecolon8143]

Omar Gonzalez Photography Mate, I WUV your channel!!!

[@ademola5803]

Sometimes I shoot like this with excellent results but other photographers thought I was weired. You have restored my faith.

[@jean-louislongueville2702]

Wonderful, Omar ! You're a top professional AND a great teacher !!

[@mikecastles]

Excellent - Thank you again Omar you really do give back and we are the lucky ones that have found your channel. Best to you and your family for the new year.

[@rogerdunn5988]

Great stuff Omar. More please.

[@smalltalk.productions9977]

3yrs old and still relevant to me. thank you for the effort and sharing. i am an appreciative subscriber. and thank you for the thoughtful and respectful detail to attention. you sir, are what it means to be a professional! BIG thumbs up.

[@jmosphotography163]

Great BTS and lighting info. I used run with a triple speedlight bracket ( kids these days won't ever know the feeling of using a triple bracket lol) for events indoor and outdoor. Now it's ad200 and Xplor all day 😎.

[@ogonzilla]

I know...had the triple threat too...before the xplor! Got tired of setting that thing up! Speedlights work great for me when the xplor is overkill. Cheers.

[@FemOdelPhotography]

Hey, i am with you on that one :-) I have a number of branded and yungnuo lights (mainly the 600), and i have a stash of AA batteries. and a couple of triple brackets. A pain when you have exhaust the batteries, especially if you use like 8 per flash (if you use an external battery pack). It takes forever to recharge. And then i discovered the AD200. I now have two of them. No more fiddling around with AA batteries. Happy shooting.

[@dunnymonster]

Brilliant images! Great inside look at your lighting techniques 😊

[@MKB0720]

Love...love...this video thank you so much!!! You are so clear and concise in relaying your knowledge!!!

[@steveconley8025]

This may be one of the best videos with simple explanations of what you're doing and the results. I learned more in this 16 minutes than I have in classes and others explanations. Great tutorial!

[@miguellee3]

Thanks Ozz, this was SWEET!

[@FeRoOOo71]

every shot is just perfect

[@kian8382]

just what I need, thanks Omar!

[@DTSmobile]

Just amazing Omar. Really love your work

[@johndawson959]

Excellent! Well done squeezing so much useful information into 16 minutes. I got a ton out of it as I've not done flash-based work before.

[@UnknownEntryRetype]

Wow. Stunning photos. Great video, more how to's like this man! Every time I watch a video of you actually taking photos I learn something mega simple that I didn't realise/hadn't noticed before!

[@Norrischan]

love how you worked with different type of lighting here, this is so useful for on set photographers

[@craigmorris8322]

Just want to say thank you for showing how you do this. Just fantastic.

[@DS-ib2dh]

Great presentation and instruction! Love the humor!

[@bbj6107]

I learn so much from you! Thanks for this behind the scenes access!!

[@ogonzilla]

Glad to help...

[@elsiecopley3057]

Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!!!

[@MarksAGoodLad]

Wow. Insane amount of useful information here for someone so new to photography like me. And those photos... Incredible! Seriously inspirational.

[@imramugh]

Lovely … I really enjoyed the ease with which you work with people. This kind of video is invaluable. Keep up the good work.

[@ArmCmdr]

Tremendous job. Simple and effective. Shoots were great

[@chriscook4194]

[@oskwaa]

[@neumlephotodude]

Super! Totally love it! Real world photography tips. Keep it up!

[@loufonolleras5544]

Great photos and a great tutorial Omar..thank you!

[@alexgonzalez1698]

I was looking for this kind of video for long time . Thanks Omar

[@julescg]

Great video and explanation. Really helped me understand, as a total beginner with flash.

[@worfbe]

Wow, that was really instructacool !!! Thanks for all these marvelous and funny vlogs this year. Hope you can squeeeeze some more out next year. Wishing you and the family a magnificent 2019!!!

[@frankiecalabro2617]

Totally professional and awesome shoot!

[@MichaelGalli88]

Great video! You made a lighting tutorial that felt practical and easy to comprehend, without getting into the weeds like some tutorials. I've been watching a lot of your videos over the last few months. Hopefully I have learned as much as I have laughed at your presentation. Last year I picked up the X-T3 with the 18-55mm lens as my first mirrorless. A few weeks ago I bought a 55-200mm lens. My wife thinks I'm crazy because now I examine lighting everywhere we go. Keep up the great work!

[@galovaldes7096]

Great tutorial not only about photography and lighting, but also masterclass on psicology, loved you comment about how to calm dow mum!

[@Motacyclist]

A true professional, and a biker too! 👍

[@brentmiller3250]

Wonderful video with lots of great tips.

[@_lowcountry]

You’re seriously the best man. I mostly just shoot street but have been thinking about doing some more professional type stuff at some point in the future and your videos really help a ton. Honestly the only channel that I actually retain info from. Please keep up the great work!

[@ogonzilla]

That's great man. Check out Joe McNally's lighting tutorials too. He's the real master. I appreciate your kind works man...means a LOT!

[@hammjackk]

loved this!

[@ricaa50]

One of the best explanations of using flash and the camera settings I have seen. Thank you! You have done a great job of explaining ambient light and flash. Also liked that you talked about various ways to achieve a hair light. Always enjoy watching your videos. I have completely converted to fuji. I know you use your fuji cameras for more personal shooting but it would be great to see it used in a shoot like this. I realize you would have to invest/borrow in a 50-140mm lens. I just upgraded to the X-T3 and am really happy with it. Ric

[@emiliesheng]

Great portraits!!! Really impressive!

[@mr.m6397]

Dude! Thank you for this! answered so many lighting questions!

[@bellacavachon7510]

Great job Omar.

[@beaudanner]

ugh, so great! Love how you work Omar :)

[@Chrisreedbeats]

Wow this is a great video and some really awesome pictures! Thank you Omar

[@genocideist]

one of the best tutorial at location on youtube, cool ❤️

[@djtiemens7481]

So fun!

[@prizoneroffaith]

Plumbers crack!!! 😆 I was thinking the same thing when I saw the shot

[@Dominik_1978]

Wow, this was really good and helpful! :) Great photos, the girls are beautiful.

[@BrownieX001]

Very awesome info.

[@SueMehearg]

I have just found you on KZbin in the last few days. Let me just say you are awesome. Flash scares me to death. Especially in really low light conditions. I have watched this video around 3 times already. And will watch it again and again till it sinks in. Have a low light wedding in a few weeks, like oh gee! Would love to see more of these. I wish you had a online flash class. The way you teach is outstanding.

[@evansvisualmedia]

Love your work.

[@tobiasbrauch8791]

Nice leading us through the whole shoot Omar! Good Job ;) Thanks for the video

[@descalante8282]

Dude great work. Awesome personality for a photographer.

[@mooreav]

Great work. Thanks for this man

[@jkspinalchoice]

Excellent video! Really helped me understand positioning of the speed lights.

[@MVAFRJ]

Perfect !!!

[@theizza68]

Good stuff, Omar.

[@MrPeterMKent]

Great video Omar, thanks for this.

[@kentcrawford1007]

Wow! New to your channel looking for info on the Fuji X-T20/30 then this lighting vid is amazing. Love your fun and extremely informative approach to photography. Thanks so very much!

[@nasroullahdinally5140]

Omar,thanks a lot for sharing.Very informative and would like to see more.Cheers!

[@BrianK04]

this video was so much more than the title lead me to believe. I thought it was going to be like a tutorial of the speedlights like a gear review, but it was so much more about how to work with people in a photo shoot and was awesome.

[@NewEyesMedia]

Great stuff! More like this please.

[@mgportraits]

Wow, amazing Omar, one can tell you are very experienced in this type of event. I am glad I came across this video. I am learning a lot.

[@georgek.5491]

Clever setup Omar.

[@SleeplezzLinkzPhotography]

Thank you so much!!! learnt alot from this video.

[@JasonMilner]

Great stuff Omar, & beautiful pictures. I've been watching your videos for a while now, & I love the Fujifilm stuff (I use an X-T2, so am biased), but this goes beyond brand to technique, & I love it. Very useful, very helpful. Makes me want to learn more about strobes. Thank-you!

[@planethanz9762]

Very helpful lighting tutorial , great shots - thank you :)

[@adriennedaley6070]

Love this video

[@mzashare7661]

You're so inspiring 😊

[@corradogalizia5374]

Great video. Thank you for sharing!

[@philipsutton2316]

Great vid dude - very informative and well presented!

[@leapingleo6349]

Inspiring as usual Omar. Just ordered Godox speedlites for fuji sys. Thanks, Cobba

[@CVCC]

that was awesome! Thanks!

[@ferhispano]

Bravo!!

[@edwintam2349]

Great video! Very informative and well explained.

[@joshkmaillet]

You're the frickin' man. I remember watching a video of yours a while back...maybe on a Fuji camera or something. Basic explanations and just good foresight to pass on. No hype needed. Subbed!

[@AnitaAML]

This tutorial was so timely for me. I am now shooting Bar/Bat Mitzvahs with my Fuji T2 and trying to decide which lenses to use. Also your lighting recommendations are down to earth and very price conscious. You have given me excellent information along with your sense of humor and you have kept me giggling and very well informed. Thank you so much. I love your videos and your family is beautiful.

[@macmac8122]

How about: 56mm 1.2 for Portraits and a second body with a Zoom (XT20/XT30)

[@AnitaAML]

Thanks..@@macmac8122 Wonderful advice. That is what I shall plan.

[@stumpdmedia3824]

I’m just getting into flash photography and this was perfect. Thank you so much

[@ogonzilla]

You got it!!

[@Jerry-kg9pr]

Thanks for Sharing .. Very helpful .😇.

[@Blinddenial]

This is soo good

[@AreKrason]

I was watching your wideos just to convince myself to buy fuji but this one is really informative and actual pictures are top-notch. Thanks for sharing

[@ogonzilla]

You do know I used a Canon 5DIV here right? 😁

[@user-mn3bx4fl5x]

beautiful.

[@ivanjacobo6639]

I loved the tutorial and those are beautiful images! I will love to see a video of your posts processing

[@PiotrRakowski]

Sir you deserve much more views! Thanks 👍

[@menemismix]

Great stuff omar! would like to see more of these flash series.. outdoor setting next time?

[@FemOdelPhotography]

Awesome photoshoot. Speedlights are great. Batteries re the achilles heel. It was no doubt a busy photoshoot for you, and thankfully, you had the Temple all to yourselves. Imagine if people were milling around, you would have struggled.

[@amv2471]

Are you Puertorican like me? Your attitude is very 🇵🇷 learning a lot with you ♥️
