New fan here. I’ve been watching a lot of photography tutorials the past few months and have found some really great ones. But I do find a lot of TH-camrs tend to go into too much detail. After seeing a few of yours a really like the economical way your videos flow through. No attempts at humour or obvious reaching for subscribers. It feels very natural and you get to the point well. Great teacher. Great personality. My two cents. Thankyou.
Hello Ed. I am learning a lot from your channel. Flash photography has always scared me off but your simple well structured teaching method is simple enough so that even I am able to understand. The quality of you content is superb. Thank you so much.
Hey Ed! Just "discovered" your channel yesterday. Love your no-nonsense approach to explaining what you do. Not hearing all about certain camera brands is refreshing too, too many other TH-cam videos are so full of brand-name dropping it takes away from what I'm trying to learn. I don't need someone I don't know make me feel bad for not having the latest Sony AR camera and whatever Batis-lens they use. You cut thru the crap and show technique and show how to achieve results. Thank You and keep up with the excellent videos! (pleeez!!)
This is a wonderful and practical discussion of the use of a 2-light set up. You made the concept very simple and extremely useful. I am now going to subscribe and have fun learning from you. Thank you so very much :)
I'm a newish subscriber to your channel so still doing lots of catching up on your great content. Just a heads up for others wanting to use the same flash & trigger, i'm a Godox TT685N (Nikon) user paired with many Godox TT600N flashes. The Godox TT600 flash also have the ability to auto use the HSS feature when going above sync speed. I like the fact that the Godox TT685 also has a trigger built into it to control the other flash units.
Like the video Ed , but can you explain why do people use the screen to compose the photograph . I always though this is why camera Manufactures put a viewfinder on the camera to look through . every time i see pros do this i think of wild west cowboys keep up the good reviews Ed
It’s weird when I catch myself doing this! It usually happens when I’m switching back and forth from stills to video on the same camera. The viewfinder on these mirrorless cameras is just a tiny screen anyway. So I guess I can always use that argument. 😂
Hi, Ed. Thanks a lot for the 2-light flash series. Very helpful. The bare flash without a modifier seems to mimic more the natural light than one with a modifier. It is also easier to set up and to stabilize outdoors. Will you also do a vid about using Gel on flash outdoors? Thanks again.
Darn, when sitting down to edit these shots, the main thing that popped into my mind; I should’ve tried gels! Especially considering I wanted a warmer effect on the first one. So, yes. I should look into a video about that. Thanks!!
I use the same flashes :) One more thing about them is, that they can mix. I mean that you can fire a canon flash with a nikon trigger. I'am not sure for the sony versions, but I do believe it is the same. I use a X-pro transmiter, just because it is way more easy to setup, than X1T. But they both will work :)
Hey Ed I’m here to boost the algorithm of your channel and learn from you as I want to be a professional photographer within the next two years along side my career as a physical therapist assistant. I haven’t found the information from you yet but I’ll copy paste this to your newest channels. So my question, with indoor portraits ive seen other people set their camera to take a shot to get a black frame in order to make sure the ambient light doesn’t affect the shot and only allowing the off camera flash to help set the mood of the pictures. How would that be done?
Good explanation as we use to get from you. Just one Q, (and this is not about wrong or right), in the beginning you are shooting with that OctoBox but wouldn't it be more convenient (weight and size) to use an umbrella or was your car nearby ?? Thanks again for sharing ;-)

Thank you. You made this technique simple to grasp. Take test shots. In one sentence you explained the exposure triangle. Great job.

Thanks for that, Tod.

Another concept explained to perfection, and some fantastic images. A great video as always, thank you Ed.
Thanks, Mark.

Thanks, Anthony!
Thanks, I like when instructors talk about experimenting-instead of making it seem like there are magic settings to use.
Me, too. I think most of what I learned was through experimentation. Lots of notes, trial and error. Then lots of practice!
Just found you here Ed. Thank you for posting such terrific videos.

Makes me want to go out and try this. Thanks!
Had to give it a like for getting photo of the photographer
Thanks for that information. Nice video.
Thanks, Kevin.

I need to try out that x-pro. 👍🏽
@@edverosky I recommend it. It is way more friendly and easy for use :)
Thank you very helpful.
Thanks, Jogie 😊
Note on Godox: if it's off-camera, you don't need the speedlight specific to the camera manufacturer, even for TTL.
Mentioned in another comment. Good tip!
simianinc Good to know!
thank you. love your videos!!!
Hi I have 2 flashes that I want to use at the same time but I cant figure it out how to combine it

Thanks again for sharing ;-)
The octobox is an umbrella folding type so it wasn’t a problem. You’re right, I don’t know if I’d want to carry my larger one to the location. 😁
Thank you
I assume you're using a mirrorless camera since the photographer is composing the shot using the rear LCD screen.
Sony A7III
Thanks again. Some color gels would have been cool in the background of the steels structure.
nice
For the algorithm!
omg man you look just like silvester stallone
who’s the model 🥵
also very educational lesson Ed, thanks for the ideas!

She has a unique style that stands out from the usual standard slightly bland look. Fancy your chances with her Jason ha ha ;-).
capyboppy the very talented model is actually my girlfriend haha, however yes I’m still very surprised how I ended up in her good graces
