Improve your photos with just one speedlight with Joey Terrill

[@WilliamParmley]

So... You taught in 12 minutes what it took me weeks and months to learn on my own by trial and error. Excellent!!!

[@Badkamra]

christ i hope he has the same affect on me lol

[@andrewtelesca400]

Yes.

[@DiamondOre]

Same XD

[@johnhutchison6868]

Nice to listen to a guy that made using speedlights so easy to understand.

[@merwin275ferrari]

Certainly one of the best KZbin programs on lighting of any of any professional photographer I have studied

[@tinsleyads]

Very happy that I watched this! Only one little thing to make it better. Cut to examples. "Here is what happens if you point your flash right at the subject" CUT TO EXAMPLE and "here is what happens when you bounce it off a wall." CUT TO EXAMPLE New concepts need visual reinforcement. I know you want us to experiment, and we will, but sometimes it would be nice to know what the desired objective is supposed to look like. Minor quibble. Rock on!

Surely the best way is to shoot following his advice and see the results for yourself, isn't it?

[@ianjames9970]

@@williamfitch1408 There is so much complete BS of YT, an example give one an appreciation of what to expect.

[@nmp76]

I can see your sincerity and simplicity in your explanation... You are kind enough to share your knowledge to new bees.... Appreciate it...

[@abhishekvermatimeline]

I recently bought a Speed-light and was struggling with proper tutorials on the internet. This is by far the most comprehensive and informative tutorial I have come across. I am pretty sure than I am good to start using my flash now.

[@julieglazebrook3197]

just what i was looking for with the added bonus of a very handsome man explaining it all ,many thanks .

[@mafairless]

what a great tutorial. Very easy to understand. You've got a very engaging, calm teaching style. Thank you for sharing.

[@GreenlifeFin]

Great basic things and great teacher! Never seen this good video with 0 example images!! :) Thanks Joey.

[@crystalblair7952]

this is by far one of the best videos I have watched trying to figure out how to use my new flash. thank you for creating this!!

[@mrscillalatte]

You should make more videos I came across this by accident and I am so glad I did. You explained things terrifically. THANK YOU SO MUCH! This is very much appreciated!

[@Apreche]

Great video. Very helpful, but I wish you would have showed some example photos for each technique you described.

[@1chrisandrew1]

Great tips - thanks. Like the one where you bounce into the circular reflector.

[@billmerritt7199]

Loved the example of bouncing into a reflector. Very practical when working alone. Thank you.

[@williamfitch1408]

I've never seen or heard a speedlite's functionality explained so well. Bravo!

[@thierrybutler5683]

Joey Terrill, thanks so much! This little tutorial was so very helpful!

[@golfergirldeb]

Thanks Joey! I found your video very clear, insightful and simplistic! Thank you for such a clear understanding of how to get started using flash photography.

[@frazhassan]

This is just one fantastic video. I loved the calm way you have explained everything.. Keep doing it Sir...

[@PudgyPastures]

Great video! I've just started getting an interest in using my speedlight that I've had tucked away in my bag for years. Thanks!

[@laurazabinski2708]

Thank You so much for this video Joey. I am new to Speedlights and you explained a lot in 12 minutes. I will be definitely watching this video again so I remember everything you pointed out.

[@herminigildojakosalem8664]

Excellent video. Got everything and all you said. Now I understand the wisdom of off-camera flash. Great work, sir. Thank you. More power to you.

[@Ronin760]

The best overall explanation of speedlights. Thank you

[@nanmckee54]

Thanks so much! This is one of the best and most informative photography videos I have watched. I learned so much. I just ordered a speed lite and can't wait to use it!

[@itmayday2010]

Great video. I learned so much from watching it. It wasn't rushed or flashy like other videos I've seen. Two thumbs up.

[@bydear1251]

Easiest, cheapest tip video I've seen. It's simple but really effective. Thank You, your video helped tremendously!!!

[@daveamberphotography]

Thank you Joey - excellent guidance for me as a beginner with my first Speedlite.

[@BrianMikulec]

Great suggestions for Fantastic Real Estate Interior Photography. Thanks Joey.

[@buzzedlunne6668]

Really like this video... his level-headed approach of teaching plus the useful information which he shares easily makes this one of my best watched videos on flash photography. Thanks Joey

[@MIZZNIGHTINGALE]

A very splendid presentation indeed. Thank you very much.

[@PhotoSportiv]

After looking around and watching other stuff on you tube on learning flash photography, finally one that hits the spot. Thanks Joey! Look forward to some more

[@tatmiy]

No one has ever gave this helpful and comprehensive instruction for lighting with just one speedlight. As your superb guidance is made in English and I am a professional translator myself, I would like to make Japanese subtitle for your movie, if allowed, of course. Thank you so much anyway and once again, your guidance and advice is extremely helpful and informative.

[@mitchellj.oconnor2508]

Great explanation of using light. Thank you

[@deepconcept2020]

I like the way you keep it explained, simple & understood

[@bobbymathiwathanan1832]

Beautifully explained, thank you so much for such an awesome video

[@yannrob5385]

Thanks for all those tips,as an amateur I love to know pro technique and try them out...

[@johnmcinerheney]

Very informative. Great presenter. Keep up the good work.

[@RMO6701]

Although Im way past this point in my craft. I appreciate this information. Sometimes you have to be reminded of the basics. This video is very clear and easy to understand. Thanks again.

[@janetebrown4173]

I first and foremost want to thank you for sharing your knowledge. I have purchased my first speedlight TT560, as my budget will allow but happened across your channel. I have subscribed and the uses verified some methods I was wondering about and of course introduced to some new techniques. Thank you again...

[@reddmenace23]

Solid video; very clear and concise. It would have been nice, however, to see a sample shot taken with each type of light you showed/discussed --it would greatly help with understanding how each diffuser/flash works on the subject.

[@douggottlieb]

Great descriptive presentation. Would have loved to see examples, but the still very helpful!

[@jackcascio5548]

Joey, This was a great video to get me pumped. Thanks for for making it so very easy to understandQ

[@GregoryBozik]

This is a great video, would have loved to see some examples while you were talking about the different ways to use the flash.

[@Metal_Vistas]

I enjoyed this video and found it very useful. I hope you will not allow some of the negative comments to deter you from making more videos like this. Cheers!

[@Bridgettedance]

Excellent, informative, clear, concise! Nice video!

[@judyair4725]

Excellent, my learning moved forward a huge amount ! Thank you.

[@darrinsmith2571]

Great video and I'm learning a lot from your knowledge! Thanks Bro for making it exceptionally concise, simplistic and informative!

[@glennshoemake4200]

Some really good tips, I've picked up a few things! Thanks!

[@JeffryKumala]

hey... one hell of an explanation. really appreciate this video. it teaches me how to use speedlight properly. thanks man

[@notjustamoma]

Would love to see you setup the softbox and speedlight on the lightstand.

[@ivanjacobo6639]

This is a simple and very useful video! Thanks you so much

[@ХоменкоГеннадий]

Amazing video and explanation. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.

[@PreeminentbrandsNet]

Simplified a subject that people make so complicated. thank you

[@nwyetiphotography]

Thank you so much for your instruction! I know each flash is different according to Camera make, but would you be able to demonstrate how to use a flash; like how to set the flash manually for each metered reading?

[@RichardEarlPixearl]

Excellent intro to flash. Thank you

[@glenmillersnowflake]

Very clear and informative. Thank you

[@imathugyall742]

Very helpful and makes the whole idea of light modification less intimidating, but I have to 2nd or 3rd the earlier suggestions of "giving an examples" of what doing these things will accomplish. Showing how it's done is so much "more effective," at least for me.

[@ablawver]

Excellent teaching session. Thank you!

[@liz51765]

So appreciative when other photographers help those less experienced. Very informative; looking forward to other videos you have too! Do you have a favorite flash for Canon? Was thinking of getting the Yongnuo 565.

[@RM011908]

A great video for beginners on speedlight. Would like to see some examples

[@thezookiss]

I am enlightened. :) Thanks for the explanation. Just what I needed. Keep it up.

[@mjfalcon007]

Great tips thanks for sharing !

[@triciahall1]

Thank you for sharing what brand speed excluding CANON (expensive) should I buy with those added features attached.

[@TheRealSTONEYXL]

I own 3 of the 560s and am trying to get more. LOVE the analog backs, they snuck these digital backs on them while I was in the hospital for a while. The reason is that it's quick and easy to see the amber lights and make adjustments without having to lower the lights. Not so easy from what I hear with newer models and grey/black screens?

[@angelica29]

great vídeo. I would have loved to see example photos for each light setting...

[@nicholasten6341]

Congratulations 5k subscribers!!!

[@TheDVDHOUR]

What tips can you give when using flash with high ceilings. Where can I bounce the light.

[@JacquelineRena1]

The lessons are excellent, but where is your work.

[@carolinejones656]

Thanks so much for making this resource!

[@bawnsii]

just bought my first flash and i really have no idea how to use it. thank you for some tips and tricks :)

[@shanitashanita6798]

So helpful, I have a speed light , never used it because of the bright light over exposing my pictures. Just found out I could pull out the shield. Omg

[@pdebie1982]

Great video. Because I'm already playing with speedlights I knew how the light in your photos would look like, but for beginners they would have to use their imagination which can be hard to do will still watching the video.

[@chikung]

Awesome. A lot of these things I did not really know, even though I was using flash. This is quality basics.

[@azeronephoto8755]

Great video explained in ordinary, understandable terms! Thanks

[@MrPoetemaudit]

Excellent, no-nonsense tutorial. One of the best I've seen on rudimentary Speedlight. One quick question when you find the time: what's your opinion of TTL flash? I've seen so many disparage it but if used with modifiers, diffusers, etc. I don't see it as a problem.

[@Somanous]

Great video! Simplea and informative.

[@Ace1973ish]

Only 3 minutes in and I love it. Thanks a lot.

[@GaryJones1958]

Superb presentation!

[@jennygilman608]

Very informative and well done.

[@djiatro]

Fantastic information! Glad I saw this video!

[@guidodingemans]

Great tutorial, very informative! Thanks.

[@DarrellAndersondeerightguys]

Great points to help allow you to stand out from your average photographer.

[@ashif_academy]

Thanks for given some great ideas

[@1BlackSwordsman1]

Can You block out the ambient light in colored ceiling room,making the flash only light and correct colors afterwards,while shoowing raw? Wanted to try that,but will it work?

[@SylviaDalsylviaspace]

Thank you Joey this was very helpful !

[@RamssesPharaoh]

Great Video! Thank you Joey.

[@edwin_ac]

Same here, I got a lot of info regarding flash usage. Thanks.

[@604eigner]

It sounds like you are talking TTL. Given that, when you talk about defeating the sun, are you metering for the subject, or for the scene, etc? Are you letting ttl decide your subject/lighting, then using flash compensation to dial in the look you wanted? Or do you hop your flash over to manual to tweak a shot you have set up with that kiss of light you mentioned you are trying to achieve?

[@dimitrimoonlight]

Awesome explanation! Thanks. Love it.

[@manojheartthrob]

very effective video for beginners like me.. i have a qsn actually lot of qsn... is that the power which i should reduce or increase on flash settings for giving the kiss of light on the subjects??. if yes, then how? tq

[@giuseppe1000]

I would have liked to see some sample photo of all of these configurations. But very helpful anyway

[@tranam301turbo]

I bought a speedlight 700 10 minutes before a wedding and I felt like I went pro in 5 minutes. I got amazing pictures on a cheap 3100 that impressed the hell out of me...I guess I bought the sigma 18-35 1.8 at the same time but I couldn't have been more happy with my results. (except for full frame) I still found myself pushing the ISO to 400 which I hate to do with the 3100....sigh....

[@kvdgadj]

How to you bounce, if the ceiling is to high. The walls is too far away?

[@stmoritz1960]

excellent presentation, actually for once, I heard the simple way without lots of equations, numbers etc., I do agree with Peter Leeman's comments about examples this would definately help, but just hearing it all in laymans terms, helped me hugely, thank you!

[@nancyPirrelloMusic]

Hi Joey, I have a Nikon D5500 can you tell me which is a good flash light to buy, as I am travelling overseas and wish to use it. Especially during sunset on landscape or cities to capture that beautiful cenery of bridges and buildings in europe.

[@anzaeria]

If you want to capture a whole bridge with flash, you might need several flashes. Even more challenging with buildings unless you want to concentrate on a section of a building.

[@peteroxley4987]

Great explanation, Joey! Samples would have been nice but you explained it very well otherwise. Is that a particular softbox you used with the speedlite, or will any do? Guess it depends on the fitting mechanism...

[@FeathersMcGraw1]

great easy to understand tutorial.

[@hammadraza7019]

thanks man really appreciate your work

[@nusratnuchi]

whats the name of the thing that you wrapped around the flash at 8:02 someone reply please?

[@awwwtraveler]

Nusrat Iqbal foldable flash reflector

[@tudorsor91]

I have a Nikon d5500 and I am a beginner. Which external flash, with or without i-TTL, do you suggest to buy under 100€?

[@alwayshorselover2]

what speed light do you recommend for Nikon d3200? Thank you
