If you want to “throw a dart” for a good place to begin your camera and light settings for a simple studio setup like this, I recommend you begin with: F/8 ISO 320 SS 1/200 seconds Flash power 1/32 That will likely get you very close a proper exposure, and you can just make micro adjustments up or down from there. Starting in the middle and deciding which direction to go (lighting wise) is always a better option than pegging the exposure all the way and then guessing how much to dial it back. And, unless you intend to have harder, specular light, I would suggest some sort of defusion, dish or other light-shaping methods that complement the model’s skin. Just pointing the light at her is not ideal for most beauty work. If that wasn’t your goal then disregard.

[@guyxphoto]

Thanks for the advice. That’s great information you’ve got there. You should definitely start posting content on your channel to get the world up to speed with you.

[@reesecapturedthat]

Its the fact you really kept it plain and simple and right to the point. Great video

[@guyxphoto]

Thank you! Yeah, the goal is to teach not confuse. I love that you all are learning and loving the content.

[@TheOneWillFocus]

They also have power packs for some of these if you want em in studio. That way u can use battery only on travel

[@guyxphoto]

Yes! I use them for my AD400 Pro and AD600 Pro when I have a high volume of shoots for the day.

[@tjkillian5278]

You're work is 🔥 man. Been following you on IG for a while...keep it up!!

[@guyxphoto]

Thanks man. I truly appreciate it! Just looking to help as many photographers as I can.

[@diamondeyezzz]

Next Level!!

[@Kmojojo]

I’m really interested in the types of backdrops and wall designs you have in the studio. Are those actually built with gypsum or are they styrofoam? I’m trying to convert one of my spaces to have multi backdrop options and would love to know your approach

[@40gmg66]

What’s the name of that light your using and the trigger on the camera is all need so when I take the picture it’s connected and automatically use the flash?

[@thestreets6492]

nice work bro, wish you the best.

[@40gmg66]

I watched a million videos on here bro , but this 1 helped me out alot keep winning appreciate the help

[@Mr.InnerWorldWide]

[@ChuckJ7777]

Enjoyed how you walked through the progression

[@movelarde7551]

Great video for beginners in flash.

[@SimplySketchyGT]

Just a note on the RF glass. I had the 24-70 EF L II f2.8. On the 5DMKIII it was fantastic, however, with the EF-RF Adaptor on the R5C something didn't feel right. I upgraded to the 28-70 RF L f2. Hot damn, it's my fav lens of all time.

[@guyxphoto]

Agreed! The RF line is definitely a step up from the EF lenses, but those EF lenses still get the job done. I’ve tried the 28-70 and I like it, but it’s just a little too heavy for me. I personally love a lighter setup.

[@williamgardner-uf3tk]

Going to be one of the biggest y’all wait on it 🔥🔥🔥

Great video... where did you get the panel board or v-flat holders (@ 2:15 on the ground in the background) from

Hey! Thanks for watching. It’s a foam board I purchased from Home Depot. All I did was paint one side white and the other side black. Hope that helps.

Very nice video. Highly informative. Though I would say just use a flash meter and get to the exposure quickly.... LOL But really. Great video. Very succinct and easy for a first time Flash user to make things happen.

Why aren't you adjusting the strobe power from the transmitter? Only time I touch my strobe(s) are to change a modifier or adjust their placement.

[@guyxphoto]

I never adjusted the strobe from the actual unit.

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed 😄 I haven’t used the ZV-E10 but as long as you can use a trigger with it you should be able to get similar results.

[@webstermickey69]

Oh my the battery last forever, joke hehehehe

[@niitetteh343]

How do you get rid of the shadows?

[@guyxphoto]

You can either move the light to chest level and shoot straight on, which would get rid of the shadow even though it wouldn’t be as flattering. You can also separate her from the backdrop and add lights behind her pointed at the backdrop to blow it out and get rid of the shadow.

[@niitetteh343]

Why not just use a light meter and eliminate the 4 or 5 test shots ?
