Studio Speedlight Limitations can be Overcome

Thats the sort of content that got me hooked on your channel, as always you clearly show what you can achieve and how you do it without pushing a specific piece of kit. Great video, John!

[@kaskoPhoto]

Thank you very much. Hope to continue putting our worth while content

[@marcthibault8723]

Thank you!

Well done my friend!!! Going to switch out my speed lights for my Stella Pro to see if i can achieve this look.

[@kaskoPhoto]

You def can. Just remember to raise the iso a little and start at medium power and move up from there

[@MartinV.]

Great Video!

Thanks for sharing.

Very welcome

I'm amazed that the light caught her when you feathered the light with a grid. I was always under the impression that if the client doesn't see the light nothing or little would reach him. Must try this.

[@kaskoPhoto]

The feathering is slight and it restricts only part of the gridded light from reaching the subject

[@eavesphoto]

Great video. What ISO and F stop are you shooting at for the first outfit?

[@kaskoPhoto]

1/250th F/3.5 iso 50

[@artistwithcameras]

I’m frustrated with the M11. I can’t get it work in HSS. Can you do a video on how ?

[@kaskoPhoto]

Yes. Are you using Profoto Connect Pro or the Leica SF40/60?

[@artistwithcameras]

@ no. Godox L remote with AD200 and it hits every 5th shot !

[@kaskoPhoto]

@@artistwithcameras so sorry

[@bananaman-zd4lq]

Do you have the profoto a10 and a nikon speedlight? I'm wondering how the TTL compares since nikon collaborated with profoto

[@kaskoPhoto]

I have used the Profoto A10 extensively with the Nikon system. I mostly used it in manual on Nikon. The TTL is ok.

Honestly... I'm gonna just go with speedlights now and make that my 'thing' 😂 it just amazed me how versatile they can be

[@kaskoPhoto]

I can do most of my work with speedlights but having just one heavy hitter helps. For studio, you can get a very decent plug-in flash very inexpensively and just pull it out for those times when needed

[@musanetesakupwanya1050]

@@kaskoPhoto I'm gonna build up to that 'big' flash eventually. I literally started taking photography seriously 2 moths ago, and just got a speedlight a few weeks back. I was heavily discouraged (by another photographer) from using it for general photos, let alone with a softbox.. But this channel specifically has helped me see there's so many possibilities just starting here. And I tried it outside with a softbox and it worked incredibly! Even did a "shoot with a friend of mine just bouncing it off the walls. The pics are awesome. So thank you for helping me get my confidence back in the choice to start with a speedlight.

[@kaskoPhoto]

@ really happy you tried it and are doing well. Start with one and then add a second sometime down the road to add a backlight, rim light for separation when needed. It’s frustrating at times but once it clicks - you will just get better and better from there,
