Great stuff. I shot my son who does a little show with fire and used slow shutter (1/2 to 2 secs), second curtain and flash... Great results. Thank you for your work and time. Take care.
Flash becomes faster when you use it in lower power settings. Most flashes at 1/8 can freeze anything, since most flashes at this power setting have around 1/4000 flash duration. I shoot a lot during night time and I crank up the ISO to capture the ambient light, so I can get around using a small Godox TT350 to freeze motion. Sometimes I can use it even at 1/128, which gives me around 1/20000 flash duration. The best tip for freezing motion with flash is to find a flash that can give you enough power at 1/8 for your use case (which ISO and aperture you usually use).
I have just started working my way with Flash this weekend, and I must credit you for the motivation as I always felt intimidated by them. This video couldn't have come on much better time :) Thanks mate.
Hey Haze, thanks for another fantastic video and great images. I love the way you use a small octabox (with a grid), even with full length shots. Does this give you a completely even lighting over the length of the body or are you looking for a little fall off at the extremities.
The angle plays a little to cover the entire body, but yes, hard to have an even lighting with such a small softbox. Sometimes it's not a choice, I have to travel light, and the smaller the better on windy days. When I shoot indoors, and when I have an assistant I use the 90x120
Hk Visuals Well you still manage to get amazing results! It’s inspiring to see that you don’t have to have 3 lights and huge modifiers to get fantastic images.
Hi, I’m curious as to your markets. Do you mainly sell print art or is it mostly magazine and promotion? Maybe something else? I love your work and it would be great to move into this away from standard portraiture. Any advice? Thanks!
There are multiple ways of doing that effect. Here, because of the amount of ambient light, I had to shoot in burst mode, and do a montage in photoshop.
I see you use a Watcom tablet. I just purchased the same one, but have one hell of a time using it in my workflow? PS I'm, not the short cut remember guy? Thanks
Hello, your job is amazing! I'll like to start to experiment in freeze motion (at the moment I use this technic in product photography) in people, and also to shoot in sequence, I saw you use a broncolor lights, unfortunately I can't afford it, it's possible to use the Godox QT series to got the same results (freezing talking)?, if you have the possibility to do a video "how to" (like this one) but more step by step how to power the alternative light sources, and setup of them. Thanks a lot
Unfortunately I have never worked with Godox products... But I believe they are more than capable of achieving similar results. Thanks for the suggestion, I will think aout it ;)
Hi boys and girls, HD gallery and a few more details on my BLOG! hkvisuals.com/freeze-motion-with-without-a-flash/

I have enjoyed your video very much I believe I have watched four them in a row which is very unusual for me. You do good work thank you
Glad you enjoyed them ;)
I’m always able to learn something and/or become inspired by your videos. Old videos or new videos, you keep delivering. Amazing work!
Awesome, thank you!
Hello, Thank you so much for the clear explanation! Very informative! God bless you!

Thanks for this. I am trying to learn more about dance photography and this is really useful.
Glad I could help 👌🏾😁
I love your videos ! Very helpful 👍
Happy to hear that!
this was very informative. thank you!
You're so welcome!
I have just started working my way with Flash this weekend, and I must credit you for the motivation as I always felt intimidated by them. This video couldn't have come on much better time :) Thanks mate.
Have fun! flash = new possibilities !
Love your dynamic images. This are the types of shots I love to do. Thanks so much for them!!
Thanks for the feedback!
Your works are amazing, so much better than some popular TH-camr photographer, I just don't understand why you have not received more spotlight :)
Thank you my friend, That's the way it is unfortunately, I cannot explain it, and I stopped trying to understand ;)
Quantity doesn't mean quality, better a little group of real lovers than a crowd of followers who don't know shit
@@assoumanim exactly!
i just found your channel...very nice and informative videos! Keep doing it please, thanks! Love the results.
Thanks man, reading your comments gives me a bit of energy to produce more videos like this one!
Very inspirational! Love your work and behind the scenes!
Thank you! Happy to inspire :D
Great video, even though I understood the basics going into it. I love your dynamic images of dancers and athletes!
Thanks a lot Dan!
Again, another great video and tips!! Loving your work! Just finished a dance shoot over the weekend.
Awesome, hope it all went well!
@@Hkvisuals It went well. You can see the teaser photos on my instagram @acwongphotography
@@Hkvisuals The dancer loved the photos.
Great video. Great eye.
Thank you!

But still... I love working with huge modifiers !!! :p
Nice work
Thank you
Congrats on reaching 10k subs
Oh yes! Thanks for telling me :D
Great Explanations.
Thank you 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Haze, great video...what kind of tripod is that you're utilizing for low shots?
A manfrotto, but I can't remember the ref, I don't have it anymore.
Thank you a lot, hope you make more videos about retouch
Check out my latest video!
Nice one, keep these coming.
I will 😉
Great video! Excellente vidéo. Quel objectif utilises-tu? Merci
Pour beaucoup de ces images, le 16 - 35mm f2.8L II et le 24 - 70mm f2.8L II !
Keep em coming
Doing my best! ;)
wonderful
Thank you!
Great content thanks!
Glad you liked it!

Private sessions, dance companies and festivals, advertising and commercial work...
Amazing tutorial, all I needed! :)
How do you find your models? :)
Thanks! Word of mouth, models find me, sometimes on Instagram or through recommendations ;)
love your work, who supplies the dresses or outfits
A mix... Usually the talent brings their own, and I add accessories!
@@Hkvisuals I am trying to think of someone's work I like better and I can't come up with anybody its a feast for the eyes succulent and juicy thanks
Quick question. You know the photos at 7:00, How do you actually do that? Photoshop after? Or just taken in one photo? Thanks for the help. Merci!
There are multiple ways of doing that effect. Here, because of the amount of ambient light, I had to shoot in burst mode, and do a montage in photoshop.
Hey love you shots and vids what tripod are you using that allows you to get that low to the ground?
Manfrotto 190 GO
That was awesome! Thank you buddy.
You are very welcome ;)
How did you get the entry to the awesome locations?
I just asked ;)
so basicelly you would want a shuttle speed around 1/600 and F-stop of 8.0 or greater to get less motion blur ? correct
Not quite... The F-stop it's up to you, and how much of you scene you want in focus. 1/500sec is a good start to freeze motion.
I see you use a Watcom tablet. I just purchased the same one, but have one hell of a time using it in my workflow? PS I'm, not the short cut remember guy? Thanks
It takes time and practice, after a few years I cannot see myself not using a tablet for heavy retouching.
