[@Hkvisuals]

Hi boys and girls, HD gallery and a few more details on my BLOG! hkvisuals.com/freeze-motion-with-without-a-flash/

[@enriqueyang]

Just found your channel. I shoot dance very long for events. But not really photoshoot. Your studio shoot n photoshoor for dance are awesome.

[@earlrogersjr3026]

I have enjoyed your video very much I believe I have watched four them in a row which is very unusual for me. You do good work thank you

[@Hkvisuals]

Glad you enjoyed them ;)

[@Capcity44]

I’m always able to learn something and/or become inspired by your videos. Old videos or new videos, you keep delivering. Amazing work!

[@Hkvisuals]

Awesome, thank you!

[@bala1000mina]

Hello, Thank you so much for the clear explanation! Very informative! God bless you!

[@Hkvisuals]

Welcome!

[@benitoreyesphotography]

Thank you for the advices... I have my first ballerina shooting tomorrow. I will play with and without the flash . So excited :) thanks.

[@JerusalemMediaGroup]

this was very informative. thank you!

[@Hkvisuals]

You're so welcome!

[@lior2538]

I love your videos ! Very helpful 👍

[@Hkvisuals]

Happy to hear that!

[@Valtrach]

Great stuff. I shot my son who does a little show with fire and used slow shutter (1/2 to 2 secs), second curtain and flash... Great results. Thank you for your work and time. Take care.

[@Hkvisuals]

Thanks a lot! Hope you had a lot of fun!

[@ditorres9884]

Flash becomes faster when you use it in lower power settings. Most flashes at 1/8 can freeze anything, since most flashes at this power setting have around 1/4000 flash duration. I shoot a lot during night time and I crank up the ISO to capture the ambient light, so I can get around using a small Godox TT350 to freeze motion. Sometimes I can use it even at 1/128, which gives me around 1/20000 flash duration. The best tip for freezing motion with flash is to find a flash that can give you enough power at 1/8 for your use case (which ISO and aperture you usually use).

obsessed with the shot at 5:46, great content brother keep it coming

[@Hkvisuals]

Thank you! ;) I love it too !

[@zkw100]

Thanks for this. I am trying to learn more about dance photography and this is really useful.

Thanks man, reading your comments gives me a bit of energy to produce more videos like this one!

[@MahmoudSuleiman]

I have just started working my way with Flash this weekend, and I must credit you for the motivation as I always felt intimidated by them. This video couldn't have come on much better time :) Thanks mate.

[@Hkvisuals]

Have fun! flash = new possibilities !

[@gentlegnt]

Love your dynamic images. This are the types of shots I love to do. Thanks so much for them!!

[@Hkvisuals]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@pennyfan13]

Your works are amazing, so much better than some popular KZbinr photographer, I just don't understand why you have not received more spotlight :)

[@Hkvisuals]

Thank you my friend, That's the way it is unfortunately, I cannot explain it, and I stopped trying to understand ;)

[@assoumanim]

Quantity doesn't mean quality, better a little group of real lovers than a crowd of followers who don't know shit

[@Hkvisuals]

@@assoumanim exactly!

[@danbrowning2418]

Great video, even though I understood the basics going into it. I love your dynamic images of dancers and athletes!

[@kbcitv2316]

Haze, great video...what kind of tripod is that you're utilizing for low shots?

[@Hkvisuals]

A manfrotto, but I can't remember the ref, I don't have it anymore.

[@mikemichaeld2259]

love your work, who supplies the dresses or outfits

[@Hkvisuals]

A mix... Usually the talent brings their own, and I add accessories!

[@mikemichaeld2259]

@@Hkvisuals I am trying to think of someone's work I like better and I can't come up with anybody its a feast for the eyes succulent and juicy thanks

[@LionOfKingston]

Could you touch on sharkcookie style?

[@Hkvisuals]

What do you mean?

[@jimmyjawbreakrful]

Hey love you shots and vids what tripod are you using that allows you to get that low to the ground?

[@Hkvisuals]

Manfrotto 190 GO

[@cb000036]

Hey Haze, thanks for another fantastic video and great images. I love the way you use a small octabox (with a grid), even with full length shots. Does this give you a completely even lighting over the length of the body or are you looking for a little fall off at the extremities.

[@Hkvisuals]

The angle plays a little to cover the entire body, but yes, hard to have an even lighting with such a small softbox. Sometimes it's not a choice, I have to travel light, and the smaller the better on windy days. When I shoot indoors, and when I have an assistant I use the 90x120

[@cb000036]

Hk Visuals Well you still manage to get amazing results! It’s inspiring to see that you don’t have to have 3 lights and huge modifiers to get fantastic images.

[@Hkvisuals]

But still... I love working with huge modifiers !!! :p

[@grahamwalker3819]

Hi, I’m curious as to your markets. Do you mainly sell print art or is it mostly magazine and promotion? Maybe something else? I love your work and it would be great to move into this away from standard portraiture. Any advice? Thanks!

[@Hkvisuals]

Private sessions, dance companies and festivals, advertising and commercial work...

[@Innovate-pq9ci]

Great video! Excellente vidéo. Quel objectif utilises-tu? Merci

[@Hkvisuals]

Pour beaucoup de ces images, le 16 - 35mm f2.8L II et le 24 - 70mm f2.8L II !

[@emanuelschimpfossl5919]

Amazing tutorial, all I needed! :) How do you find your models? :)

[@Hkvisuals]

Thanks! Word of mouth, models find me, sometimes on Instagram or through recommendations ;)

[@zirleoncito]

Hello, your job is amazing! I'll like to start to experiment in freeze motion (at the moment I use this technic in product photography) in people, and also to shoot in sequence, I saw you use a broncolor lights, unfortunately I can't afford it, it's possible to use the Godox QT series to got the same results (freezing talking)?, if you have the possibility to do a video "how to" (like this one) but more step by step how to power the alternative light sources, and setup of them. Thanks a lot

[@Hkvisuals]

Unfortunately I have never worked with Godox products... But I believe they are more than capable of achieving similar results. Thanks for the suggestion, I will think aout it ;)

[@zirleoncito]

@@Hkvisuals Thank you for your answer!

[@urbankixxfilming3451]

so basicelly you would want a shuttle speed around 1/600 and F-stop of 8.0 or greater to get less motion blur ? correct

[@Hkvisuals]

Not quite... The F-stop it's up to you, and how much of you scene you want in focus. 1/500sec is a good start to freeze motion.

[@Trailrunner.]

How did you get the entry to the awesome locations?

[@Hkvisuals]

I just asked ;)

[@toddmoore2132]

kool video.. thanks for sharing ..

[@Hkvisuals]

You are welcome!

[@nicolasbellevue7650]

Quick question. You know the photos at 7:00, How do you actually do that? Photoshop after? Or just taken in one photo? Thanks for the help. Merci!

[@Hkvisuals]

There are multiple ways of doing that effect. Here, because of the amount of ambient light, I had to shoot in burst mode, and do a montage in photoshop.

[@kathraeber8632]

I see you use a Watcom tablet. I just purchased the same one, but have one hell of a time using it in my workflow? PS I'm, not the short cut remember guy? Thanks

[@Hkvisuals]

It takes time and practice, after a few years I cannot see myself not using a tablet for heavy retouching.

[@PaulApplebyphotography]

That was awesome! Thank you buddy.

[@Hkvisuals]

You are very welcome ;)

[@cb000036]

Haze, can you tell something about the tripod setup you use to get the really low angle shots?

[@Hkvisuals]

It's the Manfrotto 190 GO!

[@cb000036]

Cool! Thanks going on my shopping list. Thanks :D
