Off Camera Flash Tutorial Wedding Photography - Fuji XT3 Godox V1 AD200

[@Reggiebphoto]

What else do you want to learn about flash??

[@williambrouillette4720]

Reggie...awesome work on this and your other videos. I was wondering about bracketing when you use flash because you mentioned bracketing in other videos. Do you bracket when using flash?

[@Reggiebphoto]

No I don’t bracket with flash. I do take test shots tho

[@williambrouillette4720]

@@Reggiebphoto --Thanks so much for your speedy reply and, more generally, your helpful videos and advice !

[@Phisch777]

Focusing with the xt3 in low light. What are your settings? This is my single biggest challenge.

[@Reggiebphoto]

Af-s single point

[@JoaquimGonsalves]

Even two years later, watching this again is incredibly useful for someone who isn't doing this full-time.

[@pyroBlastM]

So true.

[@Reggiebphoto]

Thanks!

John Branch sent me here and I am so grateful for all this information.

[@Reggiebphoto]

Nice welcome! Be sure to subscribe as I have more flash bts coming in the next months

[@IkeCantle]

Reggie, this is one of the best off-camera lighting & behind the scenes wedding photography tutorial I've ever seen. Your explanation of lighting setup, lenses used & camera settings is very helpful. Thank you & well done!

[@Reggiebphoto]

Thanks so much!

[@harshabathija1283]

agree a 100%

[@simonhuegly]

Same HERE ❤ My V1 is arriving today. My first flash and this Saturday I will play photographer on a friends birthday party. So I am studying your flash vids right now. What a great starting point!! Now 3 days/nights of trial and error before the event 😱

[@Terra_Divina]

Chapeaux, you made the wedding atmosphere looking much better than it obviously was!!!

[@yuema8188]

the swag you tilting the flash feels like you are a veteran shooting with the gun you know for years... nice job!

[@Reggiebphoto]

Stan Ma haha thanks!

[@ThatNewYorker]

John branch sent me. Exactly the video I needed. First weddin and reception coming in January and I’ve been binge watching lighting videos

[@nojarhead]

Reggie, you are a machine! I have experience with both wedding photography and off-camera flash for portraits and I was blown away at how easily you set up and adapt a fairly complex light setup in a situation as stressful and quickly evolving as a wedding!

[@Reggiebphoto]

Thanks. Just takes reps and practice

[@TrapPhoneLoveMelodiesss]

I wasn’t convinced until I saw the test shot at @5:02. Damn!!!

[@GoranSlika]

This is so helpful man, thank you for the work and effort to put this together.

[@Reggiebphoto]

You’re welcome! I’m glad it was helpful

[@JoaquimGonsalves]

Kudos to your friend Rick too for capturing the BTS. Very useful shots.

[@Reggiebphoto]

I’m glad it helped! He’s actually a great film maker but I made him use my equipment and told him to do auto, just for simplicities sake. I’m sure he and I will collaborate on better visuals as we continue this journey

[@JoaquimGonsalves]

@@Reggiebphoto looking forward to it.:)

[@magicwaffl3z]

Man, your detailed explanation behind everything in your work flow is super appreciated. Not a big fan of wedding photography in general but your work is great.

[@Reggiebphoto]

Thanks for the kind words. Yeah I agree on weddings not being for everyone, but what I do love is the skills are able to translate into many other genres. So hopefully you can take away certain techniques that apply to your photographer genre or interest

[@americanescu]

A rookie watches this video and says "oh, yeah I can do this!" and thus a new wedding photographer is born:-) I really like your content. Found it looking for ways to shoot rings, etc using LED's (that video inspired me). But from inspiration to experience with light and what light does to photography is a huge leap.

[@Reggiebphoto]

Thanks 🙏🏽

[@misterfilmguy]

Awesome video. I dig that you get straight to the point with specifics and beautiful example shots without trying to be a zany, overproduced “personality” like a lot of other KZbinrs. I’ll be subscribing and looking forward to future videos!

[@misterfilmguy]

PS, the shot at 12:14 is one of the best wedding photos I’ve seen in a long, long time.

[@rjsimages253]

Mr Ballasteros I applied your lighting techniques on my first wedding Saturday and it was AWESOME! Thank you for all you contribute to the photography arena!!

[@Reggiebphoto]

Nice

[@EverydayFamilyFL]

I would imagine these principles carry over to any indoor event photography. Thanks for your videos, and tutorials. Your willingness to hang out and give feedback in the FB group as well is greatly appreciated. Those of us new to FujiFilm or photography in general can certainly learn a lot from you and your style.

[@Reggiebphoto]

Really appreciate the feedback. Yes the principles should carry to any type of indoor events, any camera brand, or flash brand. Planning and approach are more useful than what specified gear you have :)

[@mribi]

Yep, I was going to comment the same thing!

[@charleskoonu]

Wow, really you have mastered bouncing flashes, this is a real great master class

[@Reggiebphoto]

Thanks 🙏🏽

[@simonjenkinson8537]

Brilliant! I’m going to have to watch this a few times to learn he points. Thank you Reggie!

[@StuartClennett]

Great video as usual Reggie & yes, a posing video would be incredibly helpful; it's one area I kinda fumble with :)

[@Reggiebphoto]

Stuart Clennett it’s something I stumbled with too at first. Especially as an introvert. But now I feel comfortable taking command and would love to share what I know with you guys

[@StuartClennett]

@@Reggiebphoto That would be great, especially from the introverted perspective, as I'm sure we're not alone in that. 👍

[@Reggiebphoto]

For sure! I still take a hands on approach but with structure I’m able to be less flustered

[@StuartClennett]

@@Reggiebphoto sounds intriguing, I hope you're able to put that video together. Thanks Reggie.

[@chris_woodman_photography]

Great video and gave me lots of inspiration. Can I ask about the flash settings when you dragged the shutter. You had the camera set to 1/5th sec f/6.4 and ISO 160 but what is the zoom on the flash and the power/distance from the subject for this technique to work please?

[@Reggiebphoto]

Zoom all the way in. Power depends on the subject and exposure. Best to iterate

[@ThaoTrangPhotography]

Thank you so much! I have learned so much from this one video. I have never seen a good bts video on KZbin like this ever before. You bringing an assistant, providing photos and videos, creating diagram, full details on camera setting.... superb video!!! I watched so many youtube videos, and nothing is as great as yours.

[@Reggiebphoto]

Thanks so much Trang!

[@Reggiebphoto]

Amazing! How did you find this video?

[@RIOMACKEE]

I was looking for my first flash and want to learn about fuji settings as well. Your videos are awasome. keep it up @@Reggiebphoto

[@sandeepp7458]

Good and very useful video on flash photography and helpful.. For all this shots did you use face detection settings on your Fujifilm X_T3 camera, Images are detailed clear, focused and sharp.. If you get a chance please do video on Camera settings for the night photography for weddings, events etc..

[@Reggiebphoto]

I use af-s single point for speeches and cake cutting. For the dancing it was af-c single point. The face tracking is not fast enough for weddings from my experience

[@christopheserphotography]

Wow! Until now it is the best video regarding lightning in wedding photography. Thanks

[@Reggiebphoto]

Thanks!

[@IkeCantle]

This off-camera flash tutorial is so good that I keep on watching it. I have a question Reggie. Instead of the two Godox AD200, would the Godox V860ii have enough power? You're only using them as rim lighting so you don't really need that much power, right?

[@Reggiebphoto]

Yup that could work too

[@rostanddarbouze1067]

One of the best off camera tutorials on you tube. thank you very much.

[@Reggiebphoto]

Thanks!

[@nicholausmueller1884]

Nobody has made this video before! Nice job! I am a fellow Fuji Wedding shooter as well. Currently using two XT2's (same lenses). Is the auto focus a game changer with the XT3? I tend to use zone focus when shooting the formal introductions and open dance because the auto focus would drive me nuts! Cheers!

[@Reggiebphoto]

Nicholaus Mueller the autofocus is definitely better. But I think it still has a ways to go before it’s on Sony or dslr level

[@arturoavalos5939]

I watched this video 6 months ago. And Without a doubt, the best video ever!!! I copied your set up. My pictures look amazing now. I use two Godox ad100pro and the Godox v1 as trigger and fill light. I pair it with my canon r5 and 28-70 f2. Yeah camera and lens are heavy but I don’t have to carry two bodies now. So it’s a win for me. Also I do use two cheap translucent umbrellas for the Godox ad100c helps soften the light and also better light spreading.

[@Bradley33]

Great video Reggie. Is it possible using all V1's or are the AD200 a must have in your opinion?

[@Reggiebphoto]

Bradley Kayser it’s possible. But I like have the stronger flash so that I can keep the power lower. The lower power equals more shots in succession

[@Wizzorweknowtheway]

I am new to wedding photography and it helps me a lot. Much respect brother :)

[@Reggiebphoto]

You’re welcome!

[@kathleenhoare819]

Thanks Reggie, another great video. Do you ever have any issues at venues with wedding planners or brides complaining about allllllll the flashing??

[@Reggiebphoto]

I’ve only had one complaint in 6 years. And it was a venue with a low ceiling and very cramped table layout. I ended up moving the flash to another location in order to accommodate the guest. But other than that, I haven’t. The flash is pointed at the couple and it’s only in heavy use when everyone else is looking at the couple too.

[@jonnycumtastefully]

Very nicely done Reggie, excellent job, your friend on the video has done a fantastic job.

Thank you Reggie, great video, appreciate your technique.

[@syedshuaibz]

This is one of the best lighting setup video I have ever seen. If possible Please try to explain how I can sync on-camera flash with AD200 and how to control the power and turn off on camera flash without turning off rim lighting
