Nice quality video. I didn't need the information. I stayed because it was visually interesting. Colors, lighting. Well done. (Also funny, Squarespace haha)
This is the exact same combo I recommend to people regularly. Kudos for not trying to upsell people on more than they need. I encourage the few extra bucks for the black cover like you gave a nod to, and an umbrella diffuser, because then you have shoot-through, shoot-in, and softbox in one affordable package.
@TaylorWillard thks, i love this simple explanation! can u also share a link to see what that suggested next step set up might look like pls (and how might it give an all-in-1 "softbox") Novice here.
After scouring the internet for reviews and beginner flash photography information, this video was easy to follow and understand. I feel so relieved and less anxious about shooting this weekend with this extra bit of knowledge to enhance my photos. Thank you Taylor 🙏 Much love from South Africa.
What an awesome video! I can't believe someone as helpful and creative as you is only starting out. You're 100% gonna kill it on this platform, can't wait to learn more from you!
OMG thank you so much for this video. This helps me so much. I don't do headshots much, but will need it for work once a year and needed a cheap alternative to expensive equipment.
Thanks for the video! As a newbie trying to learn flash photography, just curious why you didn't put the umbrella on the right side, to fill in the light, since you had natural light coming in from the left? Is this not a good idea?
Hey great question! The flash I was using was overpowering the window light and I wanted to show what a one light set up could give you in any environment. If I had another light and wanted a less contrast look I could have added a light to both sides (or a bounce board) to fill in the shadows a bit. No a bad idea at all!
Love your videos Taylor! you really are very good at explaining and you are not trying to pad your ego! Completely educational and a bit of humor is awesome! Keep up the good work! Thumbs up and subscribed!!
the quality of this video 👌🏼 the way you talk, the way it is edited, the way they recorded it is spectacular and it is a pleasure to watch! And very good information ✨: )
The most practical video that I have actually followed without getting lost. I recently bought a pair of the Godox TT600 and I shy to use them. After watching this, I am more than confident I'll take awesome pictures. Thank you. All the from South Africa
Expert class for the amateur photographer. Thanks for the equipment brand and cost. Can you produce more how to videos? I think you are a natural at this. 12:05
Taylor, Impressive video that has no doubt helped many passionate photographers on a budget. Your work needs to be shown more! Can't believe the value and clear concise information
What a great informative video! I have been on the hunt of such a video through which I can inform myself right about everything you mentioned about ocf photography. A huge thanks and love :)
This video was very helpful. I have been researching how to get started in photography for weeks and this is the best help i have found so far. Keep up the good work bro.
I love the ads disclamer! Its like a cofe in the middle of the morning. And this is truly a througuth on-the-topic video too. Thansk a bunch - helped a lot
best video for flash photography beginners. I've watched tons, and this break down was perfect, the walk-through, test shoots, just everything was very informative to help guide newbies. I feel more optimistic to get started. Great teacher
Great video. Really appreciate you showing the kit and how you use it. Also, really appreciate how you demonstrate distance between background and its effects. Thank you
This is a great beginner intro video! I was surprised to see all the equipment you suggested was 3xactly what I had already put together from other sources. The Godox X2T and TT685II are pretty amazing from their price tbh, as a beginner I really can get a good jump with practicing from this setup. That mount was also recommended from another channel specifically because it holds the lightso7rc3 in the center of the umbrella instead of toward the top, and that model is actually highly recommended on Amazon too, for a steal of a price. Good work, this is the perfect video to share with budding photographers!
Great video - i love your style, I am recommending this video to anyone who wants to get started in flash photography. You break things down really well and you have a really positive way of doing it. The results are so great!
The quality of information to the amount of subscribers your channel has, is heart breaking. People are getting thousands or even millions for twerking on the cam. Love you man keep going ♥️💪🏻
Stop I’m dying!!! 😂😂😂 I hit subscribe right when you said “this videos is brought to you by squarespa….” That was too funny 😂👏🏽 can’t wait to keep watching your content.
Here is a positive comment for the algorithm. Thanks for making this video! I found it very helpful. The natural light intro was hilarious. Good work, Taylor 😃
Thank you for this! This was extremely helpful!! I need a more in depth tutorial on best ways to use this, perhaps with a softbox, for food photography. Also, the bracket for Sony is now $25.
Thanks sir ! I like your explication. But i wouid like a video to explain how to know what type the flash godox i Can use with a camera canon and how to conect them together and how Can i put the shadow out on the model please 🙏🏾 ?
Really enjoyed the video - from the visuals to the presentation of the info. Also, I’ve been struggling on where to start with flash photography and this is very helpful!
i found your unique story telling and detailed and friendly explanation rather stunning. i hope you're on the journey of finding the audience your video quality resembles! i'd love to learn more from your pov of how you developed a variety of skills as a photographer, meaning both practical, as strategic problem solving, e.g. how you would set a roadmap for what you/one want/s to offer in your/their first portfolio and how to reach social standings & clients in the developing phase of networking.
Fantastic video Taylor. I was really surprised by how much you covered in only 12 minutes. I was wondering if you have a video talking about the backdrop. Price how to set it up and where to get it. That will be interesting. Thank you and keep it up Taylor!
Thanks Harold, appreciate it! I don't have one yet but thanks for the suggestion! In the meantime here is a link to the backdrop I used if you're interested amzn.to/3OjE9BS
Wow, that was very helpful and easy to follow. I watch a TON of photography videos. You stand out by a long shot. You have a natural way of teaching and leading. I hope and would encourage you to make more videos. I'd love to see more videos around flash; if this is the budget set up, what does the upgrade look like, and the upgrade after that? How do you shoot different types of portraits (moody, cheerful, stoic, timeless, etc...). How do you get your clients to loosen up in front of your lens (posing, getting them to laugh, get them to feel natural, etc...). I'd love to hear how to shoot other studio work like products or food. I'd love to hear your workflow in editing your photos. I'd also love to hear about breaking into the photography industry; ideas on how to start, how to charge, and how to work your way up to bigger clients. Again, you have a real talent in explaining and walking the viewer through. I wish you the best and am subscribing to your channel.
Oh yes sir! Looking forward to your upcoming videos! This got randomly washed in my feed, as i was looking for flash setups before. Must admit this was the best information paired with humor and enternaining film making. Keep it up Taylor! Fan from Germany
I have seen a lot of videos about flash photography, but yours is right on point, well explained, full of practical tips and very informative…you got a new subscriber 👌
I truly enjoyed watching this! I have been scared to try flash photography but i'm making the jump in. I recently bought a softbox and a godox ad200 to play with so thank you for explaining how to get started :)
@@TaylorWillard i would really Much learn more from you on this Chanel and Instagram. Its very sad for me to see only few vids and from 9/10 months ago… keep it up brother!📸📸
Just stumbled across your first video on TH-cam ... A great start with a very well done and humorous video ... keep it up! Looking forward to seeing how it continues.
Thanks! Ya, umbrellas are a little less complicated, portable, and budget friendly when you're just getting started. Soft boxes are great tools too, but for ease of use and getting people's foot in the door with using flash, you can't beat the umbrella!
I can't think of another off camera flash video that I've watched that delivers the basics better than this.
Thanks Rick P! Appreciate it!
We need more budget friendly videos like this. Awesome.
Thanks Mo! Glad you enjoyed it!
Nice quality video. I didn't need the information. I stayed because it was visually interesting. Colors, lighting. Well done. (Also funny, Squarespace haha)
Thanks Aron, appreciate it!
Lol. Same here. Even subscribed
Same lol
I wish I had seen this video a decade ago. It would have saved me a lot of time. Good job.
Thanks, appreciate it!
What a great video…..it’s sooooo well produced……your clearly a very very good man
This is the exact same combo I recommend to people regularly. Kudos for not trying to upsell people on more than they need. I encourage the few extra bucks for the black cover like you gave a nod to, and an umbrella diffuser, because then you have shoot-through, shoot-in, and softbox in one affordable package.
Ya it's a killer combo! Totally agree that the black cover and umbrella diffuser are a great next step. Thanks Seymoure!
@@TaylorWillard Can we get a recommended package for this setup if we're ready to move past the umbrella?
@TaylorWillard thks, i love this simple explanation! can u also share a link to see what that suggested next step set up might look like pls (and how might it give an all-in-1 "softbox") Novice here.
Finally someone with a nice voice, great and simpel explanation. This old geezer likes it
Glad you enjoyed it Stephaan! Thanks!
I'm sold with your teaching and passion!
Wow if that's your 1st video can't wait for upcoming ones! Amazing work!

Awesome, so glad it was helpful Sihle! Go have a great shoot this weekend!
You’re loosing light from your flash/umbrella setup because your umbrella is too fat out from your flash.
Best video for beginners! Great job dude
Very helpful, just the help i needed to get me started.
Awesome, so glad it helped!

@@TaylorWillardgreat video...question: are you using manual flash or ETTL ?than you.

Is a strobe or speedlight better?
Great. I picked up something new. Adjusting the flash zoom to fit the umbrella. I usually don’t touch it. Thanks 👏🏽
Awesome Victor, glad it was helpful!

I have that same setup except I use a 860iii and the XPRO trigger love the video
Thanks! Ya, it's definitely a solid setup and ecosystem
Add a reflector for fill to get even better results.
Great video. Can you share why you used an umbrella vs a soft box modifier?
Thanks! Ya, umbrellas are a little less complicated, portable, and budget friendly when you're just getting started. Soft boxes are great tools too, but for ease of use and getting people's foot in the door with using flash, you can't beat the umbrella!
Thanks for the simple and concise explanation! May I know what's the name of the backdrop and its colour? Thank you!
