- Ready for a Quick and Easy Set Up For Using Off Camera Flash?
Off-Camera Flash can be a powerful tool in your photography lighting arsenal. In this quick and easy lighting tutorial, I will break it down for you step-by-step on how to get to this final look using one flash. You will see what a photograph looks like with no flash in the environment and what it looks like shooting with just a wide open light and airy look.
I think using Flash in these scenarios really gives a much stronger and more professional looking portrait. Give it a try to up your portrait photography game.

I’m so glad you said what you did about the natural light shooters. I hear so many excuses about not using OCF. The chief on being, “ I don’t want to have to carry all that extra gear!!” It’s minimal as you showed unless you’re bringing strobes out. Too much reliance on presets to fix. Natural light is beautiful when used right. And hey, well balanced OCF looks natural and the added contrast is so much nicer!!
BINGO!!
Kp😊i😊😊❤😊😅😮
I have found that the ones who object to OCF are either scared to death of it or too lazy to learn. So I ask them how they would like to double their income in less than 6 months and then they don’t know what to say.
Sal, thanks for the video. Longtime shooter but I always pick up a few tips from you.
I had not bought a Godox V1 yet, so I am thinking this Westscott FJ80 is a better flash for all the reasons you gave and consistent color being the best. Thanks for a great lesson with off camera flash outdoors!
Glad I could help! and yes - having worked with A LOT of different units... and then getting into post production and seeing a noticable color shft... it can be a giant PIA to get everything to look the same. Some people dont care as much... but i am a fan of this new FJ80-V2. Much better built than the V1.
you give me a note the flash follow the nose of the model. that very good point. thanks Mr Sal
Excellent
Someone hit the “That was easy” button. Short and sweet tutorial.
Glad it helped!
Beautiful.
Thank you!
Sal, thank you again for another spot on the tutorial. In your professional experience is it better to use Aperture priority when shooting outdoors where the elements may change quickly (i.e. sun/shade) or Manual mode. You getting dialed in quickly was transforming!
you are very welcome! and the answer is YES. AP moves MUCH MUCH FASTER and in my opinion is more accurate than manual mode in outdoor conditions. studio? 100% manual mode.
Thank you!!!
Great tip on how to know where the flash is pointed. Enjoyed this video.
Awesome, thank you!
Perfect and simple! 👏🏻👏🏻
Yes! Thank you!
❤❤❤
ty ty
Thanks a lot you're really great photographer
I am also Senior Photographer Government of Punjab Pakistan ...
ty so much for your kind words!! ty for watching.
Great video Brooklyn Love the simplicity of just a single speelight
Glad you liked it!! truly allows you to work FAST!
YESSSS BREAK IT DOWN & Throw that SHADE😂😂😂🙌🏽🙌🏽❤️
lol
Great Video!!
Thanks!
Gorgeous Heather ❤❤ I’m going to follow you. Sal 😂😂
You're the best! :)
Thank you for this video! I have a Canon R5 also, which transmitter would you recommend for OCF?
i would always rec using the same transmitter as the light manufacturer. in this case im using the westcott system and trigger.
Thank you!
I did an event shoot last week and realized that when I started editing the following day that despite having the same white balance and being taken at the same settings all around, most if not all of my second and third flash images were either warmer or cooler than the first one.
BINGO!!! Im sorry this happened to you, but im happy to see this post. a lot of times when i talk about this - people scoff at what im saying and just want to keep touting a certain brand because its cheaper... great... so you saved some money on a cheap brand... but now you are spending tens of hours jerking around in lightroom to get color to match up. and in a scenario that you are talking about - those images MUST LOOK THE SAME! Hope this little tidbit helps you!! Sal
@@SalCincotta1 most definitely useful information. I had no idea about this so I was rather confused. This definitely gives me some things to consider going forward 🙏🏽.
Thank you Sal Cincotta! How do you trigger your flash when it's off camera? I have a remote trigger for activating my camera shutter, but I don't know how to trigger a flash remotely. Is it the same technology?
ty ty! yes - you would have a trigger for the flash on camera - sits in the hot shoe. if you notice in the video - i have one sitting on camera - its usually the same manufacturer as the lighting company.
@@SalCincotta1 Thank you!
Rebranded Jinbei Flash!
got it. thanks. super insightful and reflective comment. lots to think about here.
As someone who shoots high volume events and currently uses the EL-1 due to built in fan and amazing metering...how many flashes can you get out of the FJ80II before it slows down for overheating or does it also have a built in fan? I shoot graduations that can be over 100 people in short order so need something that can keep firing.
i cant honestly speak to that... i dont believe it has a fan, but i work in 100+ degree temps on weddings and senior shoots and i have not personally run into over-heating issues. but shit... sounds like you are pushing the limits of a lot of units!! :)
OK, thank you for the feedback Sal. We currently currently use Profoto as well, but want a couple more location rigs and are looking at the Westcott system as a more affordable system to use.
@@whiterock1865 i have both... and yes westcott is much more affordable.
Which camera should be used. May u suggest in indian budget.... Thanku
any camera you can afford that support HSS. I would google it for sure, but i will tell you - dont be afraid to buy something used or refurbished. especially when you are on a budget or just starting out.
With softbox it will take care of the shadows. Good one mate ❤
absolutely. 100% depends on if you want hard or soft light, but you are correct - technique is the same. and ty!! cheers.
How did you determine the flash exposure?
maybe Manual, maybe TTL,,, You should try both and see what works better for You :) :) :)
start at 5 and adjust.
I use TTL settings to cheat. Once I get the settings, when I get the light to what I like. Then use the hold button to switch to manual mode. I have the original FJ80. Can’t wait for it to “break” so I can get the II.
nothing wrong with that!
What to do by taking pictures with the camera
huh?
Why is she wearing that dress in the woods? Other than that, it was a fun video, and I learned something about pointing the light at the nose. Does that flash screw onto a stand and adjust? An assistant isn’t always available!
i mean... surely the dress comment is a rhetorical one, right? as for the light - yes, almost all flashes come with a cold shoe mount with a screw adapter underneath it for light stands.
Never seen Fashion shoots where models wear all sorts of attire nobody would wear in that particular type of location? This is done quite often. Everything is not meant to make real world sense. Where's the fun in that?
