Thank you. I don’t think I’ve ever heard such a good description for using this technique.

[@danielraj9213]

Please do more tutorials. Your videos are seriously valuable for a wedding photographer.

Thanks for another great tip. This tip right here is priceless. I'm definitely going to practice this technique. I do wear an external light meter like a rosary and that has always given me the correct exposure but this technique here is good to learn and it makes sense.

[@gduran9236]

Thx for the info. Could you pls add some content showing examples of when to adjust or not adjust your exposure? I would think this would illustrate how to analyze a photo in grayscale? Exposure adjustment is that just aperture, shutter, ambient light, or ISO? Likewise, what happens when you adjust Exposure Compensation, does the sensor change, like an ISO adjustment? If not, what changes? I always think of it as push/pull like developing film, but I don’t understand what really changes. Pls explain. That would be helpful. Thank you!!!

I find myself returning to videos that offer me value. One question I have. What if your subject isn’t wearing white do you expose for the brightest area of the subject with spot metering or do you expose for the brightest area in the overall picture and them use flash on them?

[@KennfooWeddings]

Hi Curt! Good question! Yes, when there are no white dresses, you can expose to the object which are the most brightly lit in your frame (Hope that make sense!). For example, if you are shooting outdoors during a bright sunny day, always expose to the white clouds in the sky (But not the sun!). Another example is, if you are in a dark confined room with only a few bulbs of light, you can expose to the model's skin (assuming if the model has fair skin), or you can expose to the next available brightest object in the room. Each colour have their own place in the Zone System (White, Red, Blue, Green, Yellow etc.) and if you expose them accordingly to their zones, you will get perfect exposure as well. And if you know the Zone System very very well, you can even get perfect exposures by exposing to the shadow side of the image. Adding flashes to your image (like how I do my shots) requires a little bit of practice and experience because it can be tricky. If I were to expose to white gown, I will usually go half stop lower because the addition of flash will make the gown brighter, and then gauge the exposure from there. Hope this helps!

@@KennfooWeddings Kenn, thank you for the response! It’s always great to hear back from great content creators. I’m going to ask a few other questions in regards to the zone system and how you yourself shoot. I’m a studio shooter so I pretty much eliminate my ambient and build my own lighting. So, I always shoot in RAW and with that being said would I be better to shoot in B&W to identify these zones better? Do you also ever meter the overall scene in this manner before placing the subject into it? Then do you determine your exposure and if flash is needed for the main subject? Thank you!

[@KennfooWeddings]

Hi Curt! I personally shoot some studio shots as well. I never do any metering for studio shots because like you said, we always eliminate any available lighting and then setup our own light from there. What i would prioritize is to keep my ISO at lowest possible. Depending on what I am shooting, I would start at a certain aperture and shutter speed. For example, if i am shooting a studio portrait, I will start with base of f/4, 1/100 & ISO125. I will then adjust my key light, side lights & back lights power accordingly and judging its exposure using only my visual. The technique I am sharing is useful when shooting in environments with existing light. For studio shots, I personally wouldn't use it 👍🏻

I am beginner in photography. I bought a used Sony A7s2. New 24-70 2.8 lens. How much power flash would be enough to shoot outdoors? I would be doing street photography and portraits. I would want to take this flash with me easily and during travelling. Should I go for on camera flash or off camera flash This would be 1st flash that I would buy. What are your suggestions for flash? Also suggest soft box and tripod (either camera or flash would be tripod as I can hold only 1 thing) for travelling.

Assuming you are using Expo Comp. You use Manual with Auto ISO?

[@KennfooWeddings]

Hi! I shot everything using manual settings only

[@Thundr4x]

@@KennfooWeddings I use manual settings also but I cannot adjust manually my Exposure Comp. It only works if I set my ISO to Auto
