In this video I teach you my simple technique for shooting portraits by mixing ambient light (full midday sun in this case) and strobe, using the Godox AD200 and High Speed Sync.

I love how Sean gets straight to the point without any BS B-roll and pointless intro-babble.
FACTS!!!!👊
@@LMoProVisualComm 👊
I recently unsubscribed from Peter McGinnon for that exact reason. I liked his energy, and sometimes he had useful information etc., but at some point I just realized; he's wasting my time with this bullshit about snow scooters and coffee and what not. Not if there's channels like Sean that provide high integrity, high quality and no BS content like this.
@@arnenoot9948 haha! That sounds a bit extreme, but i get your point. I usually skip 3-5 minutes ahead and if they still haven't gotten to the point by then, SKIP!
@@arnenoot9948 same
this guy is the best. no bull. here's the environment, here's my gear, here's why I'm using this gear, here's how I'm using it...lets begin...perfect.
I agree. Plus he explains it in a manner and at a speed we can all learn from.
A good tip for people without a strobe or high speed sync:
You can use your speed light and experiment with ND-filters. You’ll loose less power on your speed light this way. If it’s still not enough, you can bring your light in even closer (depending on your choice of focal length, subject size and framing of course).
I wish someone loved me the way Sean Tucker loves high speed sync
Not liking HSS is like not liking puppies.. or pizza
If you are into HSS check out Jason Lanier's YT work.
I think I prefer the way Sarah loves waiting for Sean talking about HSS and light sources... however, I think Sarah's eyes show to us the mutual love ;)
Genuinely laughed out loud, the man appreciates the finer things
The best comment on the video 🤣🤣🤣
"If you can't explain something in simple terms, you don't understand it well enough."
Sean definitely explains everything in simple, easily digested terms.
"ratio of this, and that.... My maths is terrible"
Happy to find people like me XD
I had Algebra for slow students twice...
Thank you for not using 1000 jumpcuts to entertain. Very relaxing and educational.
Your teaching is so simple and can understand quickly 🙏
I don't know why, but there's something about this guy that just makes me believe what he's saying!
This is the first time I've been able to really understand balancing the ambient light with a strobe, thank you! I'm going to practice this weekend. And Sarah is a wonderful, natural model. Just lovely.
Same here.
I cant believe how fucking amazing and informative your videos are. It's like a masterclass service without the subscription. You've helped me up my photography game a ton! Cant thank you enough for these
“Ration are just a number, and my math is terrible” that’s the only explanation I need
I'm always left inspired from watching your videos Sean. I'm right at the infancy of my photography career, been interested for many years and at 35 I'm taking the plunge and bought a camera, and I'm soaking up all this knowledge from all over the place. Your videos are not only very informative, but for me at least they convey a sense of calm and focus at the same time. There's a lot to think about, but the information is relayed in such a way that it feels like with every sentance there's a hint of "you can do this, you'll be fine" submerged in the wording.
Thank you.
"ratios are just a number, and i am terrible at math" LMAO!
i wish there were more photographers willing to explain everything like you do !
I hope that you can double the subs by the end of this year!!
Cheers from Portugal
Straightforward, none of that absurd music and jumping around, and great, usable advice. Terrific job, Sean. Your videos are excellent.
I don't even shoot portraiture, and I still love these videos. I can listen to Sean talk about photography all day.
Same here
You two could be demonstrating the ABC’s and I’d watch all day.
I'm so bad at maths, and I've been doing it your way for several years now. It's actually liberating creatively to do it without a meter and crunching numbers.exactly
I cannot stop watching your content. Every video is SO informative, as a beginner photographer I’m feeding off your wealth of knowledge & experience. Sending a million thank you’s your direction.
from having a sudden interest on woodworking, now i think, im back to photography! :)
Hahaha 😂. Me too! After I dropped couple grand on tools 🤦♂️. Well at least my tools will never be obsolete 😂
Totally agree with the idea of keeping a natural light/strobe light balance.
Man, the ambient background music with your voice is really meditative.
Oh my goodness her hair and eyes are gorgeous
I've always avoided working this way, only because I have felt it would be complex or somehow awkward, but this shows it doesn't need to be so. That AD200 is so impressive, and easy to take out into the field too by the looks of it. Thanks Sean, you've, as always, got me thinking!
Thanks my friend:)
When that cloud passes by, surreal.
It's like "cue cloud to illustrate changing light conditions" lol
Thank You for showing high-speed sync that looks so subtle and natural. It's hard to find an educational video in which the author provides both facts and amazing rezults!
Thanks my friend.
My exact setup. Camera, lens and flash. I have 3 AD200s, they're wonderful! The color rendering of the Ziess 55 1.8 is amazing!
Good video again.
Every time I watch one of Sean's videos I learn something new to add to my skill base - that's actually quite rare in my experience of TH-cam videos.
This is the only channel without seeing the video we can like it ..
Well done - your videos are definitely some of the best on TH-cam!
That series of single light photo is awesome!
Even when I already know the techniques, I always look forward to these videos. Just comforting to watch and listen to.
Truly professional. Great job Sean. Amazing demonstration. Inspiring. 👍
@sean... Your wife has the patience of a saint! I have never managed to go past two consecutive shots with mine! Excellent video by the way!
Absolutely the best photography channel on TH-cam.
Sean this is a game changer for me. It was so eloquently explained without constant jumpcuts and needless b-roll. Thank you.
Whenever I watch one of your vids, I come away thinking, "well, that doesn't seem so difficult after all". @seantucker, you are a great communicator.
thats the way it is, straightforward and well explained, with output photos, detailed all info
6:00
“Ratios is just a number, and my math is terrible”
I use a light meter whenever I can, yet I find your statement completely logical!
🤣
You are still the best teacher on TH-cam 😁🙌🏽
Another great video Sean we English aren’t popular on the tube as the Americans but your style and production is working great!
Beautiful photos of course
Your content is just brilliant Sean. No ego, no bull. Just simple and clear information delivered so bloody well.... Keep it up!
i think a brolly box like that is one of my favorite modifiers; it breaks down easy and travels well.
Great in depth explanation
Sean is the reason I’m purchasing the godox strobe and trying out strobe photography
Super helpful! Bravo 👏
Great points, Sean. My thoughts exactly...”shoot as though someone thinks you got lucky with a reflection.” To me, light is still a supporting actor, not the main attraction.
Great, articulate demonstration. Thanks Sean 👏👏
Sean, You are one of the reasons why I love photography
You can suck even more power out of the ad200 if you go without HSS, camera base sync speed and ND filter. Because HSS is pulsed light, it's always weaker.
Would just like to add that using HSS will reduce a speedlight's output power. As demonstrated by Sean here, the AD200 can perform adequate HSS work for portrait work at 1/2 power in bright daylight. However, by attaching an ND filter(3-5 stops) it's possible to increase the speedlight's output power. Something to consider.
I'm glad i came across your channel. Your videos are amazingly clear and concise!
Great help. Thank you. Your work is lovely.
From severals speedlights tutorial videos, Yours are the very best beacuse You teach Us the secrets at free, I have improve a lot with Your teachings, Thank You from Mexico
Looks to me like the 55/1.8. Such a brilliant lens. That and the 28/2 are the two I bring with me pretty much everywhere. So small, light and powerful.
You're the best, Sean. Your shots are just wonderful and your videos are stirring and motivating. There's no one I enjoy more on TH-cam right now.
Thanks my friend
You are my Guru .... every single detail was very useful .
Love your videos Sean!
I was just struggling with this yesterday with the AD200 outside with a friend doing portraits. This is exactly what i was looking for. Thank you so much!
Sean, I am brand new to photography and obviously came across your site in my information search. I love your style a lot. Your philosophical content is spot on... in fact you should definitely be doing more motivational type work... but don’t listen to me... love it, absolutely love it. Blessings!!!
The effort in this is much appreciated Very informative too
Love the way you explain , thanks :)
Idk why I always press the LIKE button b4 watch ur video 🤣 love it!
Wow... This is changing the game for me. Looking to invest in this stuff! I usually shoot just with natural light. Would love to learn how to do this to get more options
A masterclass in how to get great portraits in tough conditions, and so clearly explained - thank you!
Your way to teach flash is simple and useful
I like your attitude in photography
I can feel your passion so deeply
i wish your channel can let more people understand the spirit of taking photos
You really are better at this than anyone else I've watched on youtube. Really fantastic presentation.
Thank you. Always appreciate your videos. Stunning images from Africa!
I really enjoy the passion you put into your tutorials. Beautiful colour images, special in B&W, nice work, thanks.
Awesome Sean. Just as an additional note regarding the trigger at 3:00: users gotta make sure that is for the right brand of camera as well. Keep up the great work
Love how you explain things...not only a skilled photographer but also a skilled speaker.
Gosh i’ve just found your page now….thank you
Personally, I do like to darken more the sky and make my subject pop out of the background. But occasionally, I do balance ambient light (harsh or soft). Your explanation of it is spot on, easy to learn.
i like your photo and video ,so much !
I need to watch all of these videos bc Sean is a great teacher. !!!
thanks, Sean, you're always amazing. I always look forward to your post.
Always wonderful content. I always look forward to your next post. Cheers!
Another excellent and informative video. Your content is some of the best I've seen.
Thank you for all the amazing things you teach us about photography, light and life in general. Beautiful portraits, Sarah is gorgeous!
Photography is the game of light , and you are a well-played
I’ve been searching through what seems like hundreds of videos on this subject snd you are the first one to actually explain what your doing. Every setting snd every step, instead of simply dashing through doing it, showing images and expecting me to intuit how you came up with your settings. Thank you!
Awesome as always. Thank you Sean:) Please keep them coming for us to learn about lighting!
This is the video that I expected for. You're inspired me to try a strobist photography (especially in portrait) for the first time. I can't wait for other next tutorial. Thank you
love all the shares! cheers!
Thank you for taking the efforts on making this video. This is very helpful.
Thank you so much for this useful video and for giving me the confidence to add a strobe light to my photography.
Thanks Sean, for preaching us the ways of the light! ;)
Loved the images and the video, Sean.
So love this guy. Thanks for all you do Sean.
Really helpful vid and wonderfully delivered. Beautiful results. Thanks for everything you do
thanks man your vids are great content for beginners
Gosh you really are the best at this. Thank you so much for the straight to the point information.
Such a breath of fresh air. Always love your videos mate.
Great video Sean and thank you for your advice and suggestions.
Once again, incredible work Sean! Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge with us.
Fantastic Sean. Please continue this series of videos about strobes. I have learnt so much and am wanting more. Thanks so much.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Thank you for the lesson!
Another great video. Thank you, Sean.
