Omg Taylor! This is sooo sooo helpful! I have a wedding entirely indoors in a dark venue with extremely high ceilings and I’ve been freaking out! You are such a lifesaver!
So excited to hear your take on flashes! Thank you so much!!
This was SO helpful! I already use a flash bender but have been keeping my ISO waaaaay low, like 100. And yes, my batteries die so fast. Had no idea that was why! I’ve been dreading getting a second flash/stand but this video just gave me the push I needed to know what to do! Thank you so so much for all your time and effort into educating other photographers!❤️❤️
Thank you, Hope! This was so much easer to understand than other videos I've watched. You kept it simple. I think I can do this now!!
Thanks Hope! This is so helpful! Especially to have on hand to watch before weddings!
Thank you for not making this anymore complicated than it already is....these are great quick, easy to follow tips to try in many scenarios.
Absolutely! I'm so glad you think so :)
Thank you so much for sharing! I have struggled so much with this and now I feel confident I can get great images!!
This was so helpful! Thanks Hope :)
This was great and will help us so much!
Thank you so much!!! This was very helpful and easy to understand :) keep it coming girl! I would love to learn more from you
Perfect tutorial. Thank you!
Thanks Hope! Great explanation and beautiful images. :)
Thanks for the vid. I'll be shooting a dinner event soon and your technique will work for it.
So helpful!!!
Very informative,thanks so much
Very helpful.
Thank you! Very helpful.... and makes makes me excited to use my flash benders again!
Amazing! Thanks for watching, Germain!
Thanks straight and simple I will try
Thanks for watching!
This was SO helpful! Thank you for sharing!!! :)
You are so welcome!
Fantastic! Do you use color correction gels and adjust your in camera white balance for the funky orange/incandescent lighting in the reception halls?
Can you share the link on how to sync up your flashes? thanks!
I'd also like to see.
I’ve been shooting for ten years and never got the hang of flash and have always been sooo intimidated by it but this actually makes sense finally!!
Emily actually this was not a helpful video at all.First of all it is essential to know camera exposure if you don't you will never understand flash. Exposure should be done with camera in manual mode only. The reason is your camera has a built Reflective Light meter and you need to learn how to meter for a correct exposure based upon the F-stop & ISO you choose. Once you have this ingrained in your mind , flash becomes much easier. Without going into great detail you can do most of your flash in TTL mode. This applies to flash on camera and off camera, remember never point the flash directly at your subject. Hopes this helps.
Hope! I thought this was a very thoughtful video! Thanks so much for sharing :)
I'm thrilled to hear you enjoyed it - you are so welcome!
Hey Hope! So thankful for this video and your channel. I have a question about flash and shooting large family photos at reception. If you had about 30 people in the photo and 2-3 rows would you shoot wide open, or would you shoot closer to 5.6 or higher to get everyone in focus with a flash? Thanks so much!
👍🏽 thanks for sharing
I love your videos! They are so helpful and I have taken your photography course! Thank you thank you!
Yay! SO happy to hear this, India!!!
Great video! Please do more videos on lighting and settings.
Thank you Taylor ! What type of stand do you use for the opposing flash?
Nice video. Weddings can be hectic as I shoot them as well, love the detail you put into the video because I know how much time edits like these take! ~signed a content creator lol cheers
Great video and explanation. Do your settings for off camera flash change when you go outdoors and do night photography?
They do not! I typically don't photograph outdoor night photography - I'm normally always indoors for wedding receptions :)
Hope… what the!? You’re actually an amazing educator and phenomenal photographer. How do you not have more followers????
I’ve subscribed, can’t wait to see more of your videos.
Thank you so much for subscribing, Timothy!!!
Have you considered the Godox V1c with a lithium battery and the XPRO c controller? You could buy 2 V1 speedlights and a XPro controller for the price of one Canon flash! The V1 has a built in transmitter/transceiver and a channel scanner for best reception. The battery is good for 480 full power flashes so at 1/32th power that is over 15000 flashes per full battery!! Way more than the 300 you’ll get with eneloop AA batteries.
Question: do you need triggers? Or do these flashes have them built in?
Shooting my third wedding next month (and fourth and fifth in three straight days 😅) and all will require OCF and I am legit losing sleep as I've never done it. This video calmed my nerves a bit!
I'm so glad it was helpful, Eddy!
I would love a you tube from you on flash during the ceremony.
Does that big reflector help with reach when it comes to taking photos from the front of the church to the people walking down the aisle?
Hey! I bought one of these, and I’m confused about how to switch from horizontal to vertical using the flash bender. Do you move the flash bender each time you rotate the flash?
Hope! Do you have to have two flashes? Will the mark iv, not slave the canon 600 ex-rt without a remote trigger system???
I have a 5D mark lll, but yes! I use two flashes and the 600s should not need a trigger system :)
What stands do you use! I do not not know what to call it to google it
Hope, for the reception dancing portion, any reason you wouldn't want a second off-camera flash giving you three total? I've seen some photogs opt for two off-camera flash opposite each other, and then the on-camera flash with you allowing you to move wherever you'd like while still getting constant lighting from the corners.
Hi Eddy! I personally don't feel the need for this unless the dance floor is MASSIVE for some reason. The flash bender works well to light from any angle!
