Learned so much in 20mins that I hadn’t in 2 years
The fact that you post your EXIF along with the photos shows how much you care when you educate! Thank you, you just earned a sub!
🙏🏻🙏🏻
@@lukewtcleland what brand flash and batteries are you using? I'm planning to purchase the exact setup as yours!
When doing your video, you should make your photo samples fill up the whole screen. It's a little hard on the viewer to get a full sense of what you are showing.
I LOVE THIS!!!! THANK YOU :)

This is fantastic. I would love to see more in depth examples in the future!
Really appreciate your time making this video. Very useful and educational.
Good morning am so glad I came across this video like what you said in the beginning of the video I as well had my first wedding and struggle with my flash in doors at the reception better still got some good photos and almost give up on photography thank you from sharing oh and shout out from the Caribbean Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Gosh, this is the most helpful video on flash photography l've ever watched! Thanks a million for sharing.
This is the most beneficial video I’ve found in years. flash has always confused me and when I search how to use flash they all explain the practical way to set one up but they always say set your flash to TTL but mines is manual only, so thanks for your explanation on flash . I then clicked on your channel to check out your earliest videos and seen you came to Scotland, come back I owe you drink sir !
By far the best video on using flash that I've seen 👌
Woah 🤯 I’m subscribing because this was so helpful!
Great info Luke! Thank you.
This is by far the easiest-to-understand video that I have watched! Thanks for this tutorial! You earned a sub 😄
Well done...
U know what
This is a cool person with good explanations. No deep stuff
Plain and simple 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Great info! Thanks. I actually moved to Nikon from canon after I watched your channel. I loved it! Also if you could I want to see your film camera shots too!
Actually this is the best video I'd ever seen about flash, people always said that you have to be a master using speedlight, but definitely I learned everything with this video, next week I have a weeding, of course I'll will keep this video in mind . Thank you 🙌🏼
I am so glad i came across this video ive just done few weddings and i needed to hear 😮😢
Excellent info!!
Oh I have a feeling your channel is going to be priceless for me. I just booked my first wedding.. eeek❤
Thank you sensei. You helped me a lot.
i just came across this video while looking for studio lighting set ups. Given i just made my first wedding photoshoot few weeks ago, i learned a lot on this video and want to apply it to my next shoot. I'm sure i'll be able to make it better with this. Thank you so much. I've check your ig too and your wedding photos are so god damn great. Thank you for sharing and please keep on making this type of tutorial or tips and tricks to become better at photography. I'm just a newbie but with good videos like this, i'm sure i'll be really good in no time!
Excellent ❤
So informative, thank you!
You just earned a subscriber. Great video. You're a great teacher. Would love a BTS while you're using and mounting the flash at weddings/parties.
This is such a great video. Thanks for showing your settings and keeping them up for a reasonable length of time. Keep them coming!
🙏🏻🙏🏻
Wow... Most informative video on how to USE the SETTINGS with the flash. Other videos rarely go into this and usually get you to buy a diffuser, softbox, or some other type of GEAR. I have the same shooting style so this was really helpful for me. Finally got a flash after 5 years of photography lol
So glad to hear!
One of the best " real world " explanations of how to use ( or not use ) flash in a Wedding/Event situation. Brilliant advice backed up with beautiful photos. Subscribed 👍
Very Very VERY good video on light and flash for events (weddings in this case). Looking forward to watch the rest of your channel mate.
Awesome, thank you!
merci ! super vidéo !
Great video. I learned a lot. Thank you!!!
... beautiful pictures and very good tutorial ... Thank you
Great video Luke! I love how clear and informative you speak. Picked up a Godox v1 to play with this year and get better at receptions/low light wedding venues and this video gave me some great tips!
Thank you! So glad it was helpful, hope it makes it a littler easier this year for you!
Currently learning flash photography. Such an awesome and helpful video! Thank you for sharing!
Great to hear! Glad you liked it!
I am a wedding photographer! I already use most of these tricks to obtain the photo that I see fit. but still, I LEARNED A LOT from this video. the way you explained everything is simple yet so effective!! heck i've been shooting weddings for 4 years now, but that cheat sheet is so handy I'm going to print it and slide it in my bag on next wedding! you never know when amnesia hits and get stressed over a simple setting.
thanks a lot 💙
Excellent. Thanks
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!
very entertaining to watch. keep it up
Thanks, will do!
I’ve been shooting for thirteen years and learned something new. Thank you for sharing.
Wow! Thats great!!
nice thx
No problem
what a wonderful video, dude, you are easy one of the best photographer/teachers on youtube
Thank you so much! 🙏🏻
man this is nice content! and nice work as well! congrats!
Thanks so much!
The best and most comprehensive flash explanation I’ve ever watched on TH-cam. Thank you! I’ve been struggling to grasp when and how to use flash at events and most of the time I don’t even take it out of my bag.
Thank you! So glad I could help a bit!
Great tutorial mam. I like the thought that goes into making the decisions whether to incorporate ambient light or kill it before adding flash. You're a great teacher.
Thanks so much!! Glad I could be helpful
Wow!! I have a wedding to shoot this weekend & wasn't sure if I wanted to risk the worry with my flash or not! Perfect timing!! Thank you so much!!
Glad I could help! Hope it goes welll!
Great stuff.... hope more "photographers" watch it and this reminded me when I was shooting at a wedding where the wedding photographers (2 of them) had *NO* flash between them even when the ceremony was outdoors and seriously backlit. Found it so funny when the "photographers" told the family they couldn't shoot formal family photos at their floral arch because its "too backlit".... LOL
😱😱😱
That's a nightmare scenario! 😳
That's crazy. Back light is the most beautiful to work with, everyone's dream
Nice and descriptive video, good way to get rid of the flash hunger :))
love it. many thanks for sharing
thanks for watching!
I've been looking for exactly this kind of video! Thank you so much! I would love a video on dealing with mixed white balance situations and how to pick flash gels. Sometimes when trying to match the white balance of a scene I wind up just trying all kinds of gels because I have no idea which to use and none of them seem to be right.
Oh I’m so glad!! Oooo I’ll put that on the list! I actually love using gels in mixed lighting because the results are pretty fun! It’s fun to fix bad lighting. Haha
Excellent video... Super informative and inspiring! Much respect ✊🏿 from Angola.
Angola! How cool! Thanks for watching glad it was helpful!
great
Oh goodness I’m cringing so hard at my first few wedding I’ve done barely knowing anything about flash!😭 I’ve been so lucky that my clients are so kind and relaxed and have been happy but I’m ready to take it to the next level and this was so helpful!
I feel like flash is always an area that I can improve, so thanks for this! Those detail shots are beautiful. I recently got the MagMod kit for this year's season and super excited about the color filters to match the ambient lights more so it's less obvious there's a bright blue flash compared to the ambient lights for things like speeches. Going to try more off camera flash for those moments too. 👍
Thank you! Oh yes! I've been looking at something like that. I'd love a magnetic one that I can just pop those gels on. Right now I have tape haha
So glad this was helpful!
dude.. you are a champ! Understanding light is everything and you just broke it
down so seamlessly.. thanks for this.. so many nuggets
Awesome to hear - so glad it was helpful!
When the subject and the photographer are moving and distance from the camera to the subject is varying. The best is TTL plus Flash exposure compensation. Many photographers don´t like TTL because they don´t know how to use Flash exposure compensation. At weddings I only use Manual Flash during posing photos, when the subject is steady.
What exposure compensation do you use? Just take a test photo and then change it from there?
Thank you very much for your explanations. I had fun listening to it.
Kind regards from Germany

Love your flash guide! The integration of the video light is nice. I also like the simplicity because i hate it to handle 4 flashes for a dancefloor setup like some wedding photogs do.
Oh man ya 4 flashes on a dance floor would give me nightmares
Loved your tips on flash, also in future videos, could you mention the zoom in the photo examples too?
Love this. I'm gearing back up for weddings this year after taking a few years off from the industry and watching your videos helps me get all my jitters out. your approach to flash is exactly mine as well. It is supplemental to ambient to add the pop or clean up that you need. The major benefit of that is you can use really low flash power levels and simpler units, and it will integrate better with a gallery of naturally lit photos! Thanks for the great content.
Oh that's awesome, great to hear! Totally, it makes it less of a jarring transition to using flash. Thanks for watching and glad you like it!
@@lukewtcleland Totally! Also if you have to do flash for family formals, if you have a big white wall or ceiling, it's so so so much easier to point a big monolight at the wall and light up the whole room than to try to set up umbrellas, modifiers, etc. Trust me on that. Especially if you have rows of people and need to light the back row.
I agree 100% with everything and especially with using manual settings on flash is better and more correct, but as a wedding photographer, there are cases where your subject is moving all the time and its distance from the walls is changing (because a lot of times there is not a seiling), this is where TTL is the only way to keep the same style of shooting by keeping the same amount of light hittiing your subject :)
Wow Wow wow! The best flash video I've ever seen! Greetings from Russia!
I have the same flash and x2t
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Great vid. Sub!
Great video, thanks for your explanations and many different applications. No implied criticism at all, but how do you deal with the differences between the warm ambient light and the cold white light of the flash (direct flash example for instance)?
Is it an intentional style choice? Would you ever play with gels to match the ambient lighting?
What's the exact model of led panel you use please?
Want to see if I can find it anywhere.
Thanks very much. Fantastic video.
