Off Camera Flash Tutorial for Beginners

You addressed the exposure, but for off camera flash, could you also address flash placement (angle, distance) and approximate power setting at that distance for a start? I know it might need to be adjusted up/down according to the situation and effect you want, but what's a rough guide to start out?

I would have to say this was one of the best off-camera flash tutorials yet. Thanks

Hi Mr Hernandez, I do have one question, continuous light, as far as the photo outcome goes, is it better to use the flash or continuous?
I don’t understand the difference in regards to making the photo look better.. Hope I made sense !
Thank you sm

So helpful !!! I’m trying to write down all your pro-tips on the outro now,
Using my flash for the first time 2moro on a photo shoot.. 😬😊
Tysm ! 👍🏼👍🏼🆙

Not using your ND filters anymore?

Hey my x2t trigger connects to my tt600 but when I take a photo with my camera it doesn’t shoot the flash. How do I go about fixing that and connecting my x2t with the camera

That is not a beginners guide!

Does you have the permit to shoot in town like that?

Just wanna say I really appreciate all the great videos and all the help. I just ordered the Ad300 pro yesterday watching your channel really helped me!

I had a similar problem . I went out for a photoshoot and it was sunny ☀️ n i used sony a7iii with a godox trigger with godox ad600 . Shooting on manual mode. So when i mounted my trigger on my camera n turn on the trigger it auto changed my settings and my images were to expose. I had to reduce to aperture in other to reduce the amount of light coming into to he sensor but i lost that depth of field. And i didnt enjoy the effect on the flash light d way i expected . What could be the problem boss? Can u help me with some clarifications?

Thanks, I always learn so much from your videos. One question what make the skin look orange? When I use strobes my subjects’s skin looks orange

Best teacher FJH. I don't regret subscribing nice content for us beginnners

Great video! One question, can you do a full retouching video? Thanks for all of your help.

What trigger are you using with the lighting

How TF do you only have 112k subs, should be 1.2 M

I would like to know what setting do you recommend for the white balance in this session

Thanks for sharing. Are you double diffusing and using a beauty dish on the GLOW Softbox?

Amigo, you have come such a long way. Makes me proud to know you are from the RGV. Keep up the great work. BTW, I still have and use that Paul C Buff Parabolic Umbrella I picked you from you in Mission years back. It's still ticking.

I love your technic! Exactly what I want to do.
But in my case I don't have time to adjust everything. I do events photography & time is too short. I use aperture priority & ttl mode with hss but somehow I feel missing something. Can you give me any tip?

Very informative content. Thank you so much for the time and effort.

Que buen video...bastante didáctico. Saludos desde Guatemala

What WB do you use when using your flash outside?

Thanks for your tips. What about using a reflector instead of flash light?

Do you have a channel in Spanish?

Hi bro .
Would you recommend the tamroon 35-150 and yes it is so why

I’ve been waiting to watch a tutorial like this. Thank you so much! Very much beginner here and this is so helpful :)

Thank you for continuing to put out content like this for us beginners. These are so so helpful.

Nice job! Look forward to seeing you in St. Louis!

Excellent as always thanks for sharing :)

❤❤❤❤THX BRO

did you use nd filter for the last shoot

Drop her @ 😂😂 she’s beautiful 😍

what camera/lens did you use for taking the video and why you frequently are not in focus? Is your camera/lens broken or wrong focus configuration?

I heard you mention on one of your videos that you are located in So. Texas, where abouts are you? I am in Corpus Christi and was wondering if you ever did any kind of mentoring where you let someone shadow one of your shoots. Just wondering as I am trying to get the hang of shooting with off camera strobe.I will probably get the hang of it eventually but being retired I have the time to explore resources to try and get it right. Seeing first hand how you do it would be awesome!!!

You made me love off camera flash❤

Great content and video, i hope to refine my abilities to get to this point soon

Great video

Thanks

I really enjoy shopping with Adorama. Their personal shoppers are dope!

Very good video. Quick question what white balance do you normally use when you're shooting outside with flash? Thx

Really great help thank you so much been having problems with adjusting the flash

Thank so much but my lenes aperture is f.4 how can i get like you

Two questions. Does having the wheels on the c stand help prevent the wind from blowing it over? I see you have the weight on it too but wondering if the wheel help prevent it from tipping since it will roll.

Your setting of 1/2 power with that 400 strobe, is that the same as using a 200 strobe at full power?

You always provide content that gives us confidence to go out and shoot by demonstrating down to our level. These are the types of videos that inspire us beginners. Thank you!

Great Video!!!

Pure Magic! Thanks for sharing

What camera/lens were you shooting the video with? Seems to have issues with face/eye AF.

great video
