Advice Every Flash Photographer Needs to Hear

Before watching this video, I would like to pose a simple question: do you remove shadows when you light? If you do, then this video is perfect for you.
See how I was able to transform this scene just by adding one light! This video is an excerpt from my Beyond Ambient Light Workshop Series, hope you enjoy this very detailed behind the scenes video!

Combining ambient and flash looks so easy but is so often done badly, this video shows a master photographer at work. Great video, although that Sony skin…..😂😂😂

[@JiggieAlejandrino]

Ok I’ll defend myself quickly. Not my camera and to each his own. LOL thanks for watching

[@kevinjones6328]

@@drdj2626there’s a window next to the subject and a continuous light lifting the shadows. I appreciate that he’s blended both light sources really well but he actually walks you through the set up. If you’re being pedantic over the use of ‘flash’ for continuous light then you’ve wasted both of our time, move on.

Uncle…salamat po!

happy new year Jiggie! i could watch your workshop videos all day. thanks for the knowledge. the only thing... Nikon is better 😂❤❤

[@JiggieAlejandrino]

Hahahahhahaa! :)

I know this question doesn't have a simple answer but: If you used manual flash how many stops of light would you have to adjust your exposure to over manual settings. I know there isn't an exact answer but where would you start if you had to. I'm guessing about 4 stops.

Good video, but in this particular case, I think a reflector will do the job perfectly.

Shadow fill?

[@JiggieAlejandrino]

Yes controlling the shadows instead of removing them

[@ilovehotels5001]

Sony full frame toy

[@boloki72]

No, shadow adds shape and drama

[@JiggieAlejandrino]

My point exactly but controlling the intensity of the shadow is also key.

SONY fanboy LOL
