In this video I show how you can create amazing bokeh for your wedding photographs very easily in minutes!
I created these off camera flash portraits using my Sony A9, Sony 35mm 1.8 and Sony 85mm 1.8 lenses, together with a MagMod MagBox, gels and Godox speedlights.

Amazing, Neil, I will try to do this shoot with the same materials
What a very cool idea !!! Ok, days off come.... so I can try your trick !!! love it as always !! The more flash videos you do the more I learn . To me its the hardest part of everything and you make it so much easier . I love how you actually show us how to get the amazing shots you do Neil !!! My confidence would improve 100% to really get flash .
That is so nice to hear and means a lot, thank you so much!
Thanks
Excelente Gracias 🙏🏼
Muchas gracias! Muy amable
Great video Neil, yr so imaginative, I dont do weddings, but I am just starting to like portraits, yr ideas are fab and can be used in other areas of photography too, thank you for sharing with us, I really appreciate it.
How did you remove the banding in post. Thanks. Awesome video 👍🏼
Thank you! You can see me editing my favourite image in the Patreon version, but I basically decreased the clarity and then did a couple of things in Photoshop too which I found by googling the issue. It isn't perfect but better than it was at least
Awesome, how you can get the same cinefoil bokeh if you are shooting for video
Amazing work, love from India, u r damn creative 🎉😍😍😍😍😍
Thank you very much!
Wow! Amazing! Thank you so much for sharing!
My pleasure, thank you very much Alexa!
This is amazing Neil! Thank you so much for inspiring us with new ideas in the midst of this gloomy lockdown!
My pleasure Golam, I am really pleased you enjoyed it!
this is amazing
Thank you so much Gopi! I am pleased you enjoyed it 😀
hello excellent idea it's very nice to share, really extraordinary beauty and simplicity. i would like to know if you use your gopro for a wedding thanks for everything
Hi Labat, thank you very much! I sometimes use the GoPro to get little bits of video at weddings but it certainly doesn't replace a proper video. I use it more for capturing snippets
WOW..................it was awesome
amazing, maravilloso Neil
Which drone is this at 0:17? Amazing quality👍🏼
Thank you, it's the Mavic Mini
:D I had the similar same idea with the foil, very nice vid Neil :) "I would never do something anything like this on a wedding day..." Well, about that... :D I try crazy, for me untested new things on the weddings all the time (never backfired), 90% of them came out surprisingly nice and that gives me the confidence to shoot on the edge kind of the whole time (of course I do safe shots in important moments). But I get the safe testing idea, + you develop skills faster this way, that is where I go slow I would say.
It's amazing ❤️❤️
Hi again, sir! This is the 1st video I've had the chance to watch for awhile. Was starting to have Redfern tutorial withdrawals. Another wonderful performance with awesome results! Question (which I hope is not redundant, but): What is the other contraption extending from your camera? Initially, I thought it was either a remote or additional flash. Thanks in advance. Hope you're doing well! Say hello to your parents for me, too, plse.
Hi Richard, aww I will indeed, thank you! That is very nice of you. Aah, that is just a flash bracket to hold my DJI Osmo Action (which is like a GoPro) so I can record the camera eye view on video. So it is nothing to do with photography, it is purely to hold a little camera to film what it is the camera is seeing to make my videos better :-)
Verygood.idea
Nice one Neil. Next video how about creative portrait then roast dinner cookery 🤪
Haha! You don't want to taste my cooking Vernon...... trust me!
You are such an amazing teacher Neil.
Thank you so much Chaitanya :-)
Sir video very health pula rahe thank you so much yaar❤️✨
Thank you very much Ashish!
I like to place a round softbox about the same distance from the subject as the diameter of the round modifier. For a square or rectangular modifier - I place the distance about the same as the diagonal of the modifier...
Really enjoy learning from your inspired vision. Thanks Neil, great videos.
Its really really ossam tricks thanks sir
Very kind Sachin :)
To make sure I can recreate this, is it best for the foil opening to be small? Is it best to get the lens as close to the foil as possible? Any other subtleties I should know?
Hi Curt, good questions! Yes, I would suggest the hole be as small as it can be whilst allowing you to shoot through and the distance between the lens and the foil depends on the lens you are using and the look you would like. I would definitely recommend having a play with the set up and trying out different distances as it really depends on the look you want 🙂
@@NeilRedfern Thanks very much for the speedy reply - and from the artist himself. Is there a way I can post the demonstration visual I created?
Thanks
👌🙏
You always create something different and unique, much appreciate. How you get motivated to create something like new every time? Love from India.
Thank you, I try my best! I love make the videos because they make me have to try and come up with new ideas :-)
Finally uh solve this mystery too 👏
Yep! Thank you
very nice tuto. as french speaker, i appreciate the texts with camera and flash settings !
i am not sure i understand. are you shooting all pictures through the gorilla+alu hole ? i thought it would just create same reflections "on top of alu" than in the bar you show.
don't you think it is much easier to use INFINITE TEXTURE BOKEH in post production in photoshop with solid color clipped layer instead of making all this DIY on-site ?
My pleasure Marc, I really appreciate your support! Yes, all shots were taken by me shooting through a circle I had created in the tin foil so that the bokeh surrounded the model. It may be possible to do this in Photoshop, I am not sure, but for me that takes away all the fun! I love trying to create effects like this in camera rather than doing it in post production
Simply awesome Neil!
I've tried this at Home when I shot at 1/1000 or 1/1600, it's also killing(blacking out the Aluminum ring) the foreground.
Any email ID that I can share my pictures?
Thank you very much Shailender! I'm afraid I don't have enough time to answer emails re critique and advice but I do hold regular live streams in my Patreon where you can ask me any questions and request critiques
HAMMER 🤩 I am learning from you .... Thank you very much for your tips and tricks! 😍
That is so great to hear! Thank you so much :)
Excelente muy creativo le aprendo mucho
Muchas gracias, me alegra que disfrutes mis videos :-)
@@NeilRedfern me encantan este lo trate de hacer y no me dio resultado gracias con los mismos parametros de luz y ad 200
If someone could patent this concept into a foldable standing reflective ring they could make killing. Great concept
Haha, yeah, I agree, I'd buy one! Thank you Leyla
This is an exquisite piece of work.. I simply love your videos Neil..

Very kind, thank you very much!

My pleasure Saurabh
You've been watching Blue peter haven't you Lol awesome
Haha! Where is my badge?!
I'm not a wedding photographer but always enjoy watching your ideas. Great inspiration as so much can crossover into other areas of photography.
Thank you so much for your support Tony and I am really pleased you are able to use some of these techniques in other genres :-)
As always amazing content 👌, thanks again for sharing with us , blessings 🙏
My pleasure, thank you so much for the support Jonathan 😌
Nice technique!
Thank you Bata!
This was great Neil incredible shot I have a question on the MagMod is this shot with the standard fabric diffuser on the front or the focus diffuser?
Thank you so much Rich! Great question and one I should have answered in the video, for this shot I used the focus diffuser
Neil Redfern Thanks 👍Neil!!
Super sir
I'm pleased you enjoyed it!
Thanks!👍
My pleasure!
Hi Neil, were you using hss in the first image! Just seen it in the description!
What was the main reason for using hss, was it the aperture you used forcing you to use it or some other reason!
Hi Nigel, yes I was :) This was because I wanted to kill all the ambient in the room (so the only light sources were my two speedlights) but also because I wanted to shoot at f1.8 for the best foreground bokeh. Good question!
@@NeilRedfern as usual your content is to the point, and you reply always.
Keep up the great content, I find it outstanding!
Awesome
Thank you very much Rana!
