Hi! What are your camera settings for this? I usually just do natural light outdoors but want to give this a go! Thanks so much!
Thanks for taking the time to watch. Each session will be different so these exact settings won't always be the case for what's needed. I shot this at f1.8 | 1/1600 sec | ISO 100 (don't remember what flash power was used). The thought process behind using off camera flash is set the ambient exposure/background how you want it to be seen, then start applying flash power as needed for the subject. Don't let the available light around your subject determine your final look. Take control and force the look you want with the power of flash. This also could've been a natural light shot and would've looked great, but bright and airy with over exposed backgrounds. That's a look that I do sometimes especially if the client requests it. However I like to use flash and balance between background and foreground to help separate my subject and really make them pop in the frame. Hopefully this helps and I have some other videos using off camera flash as well.
Hi!
How many stops diference do you have between your main and your hair light?
I couldn't tell you for sure because I don't use a light meter. But it's different for every situation depending on if the sun is out, is it cloudy, are we in a controlled studio environment etc... but I definitely want it to be noticeable, it helps carve out the other side of the subject from the background. I hope this explanation helps somewhat.
Thank you, yes it is perfectly clear and it really help
Sorry, I'm going overboard a bit, but I have a question that really intrigues me. If I have a continuous light instead of a flash for a hair light or a side light, do I need a powerfull light? Or is it better to have a second flash? I'm having trouble finding answers. (My main flash is 400w and I would like to do studio and outdoor use?)@@RyanLImagery
@@dje7917 For photography you will more often than not, need that second flash. There are few situations where a video light will meet your needs when coupled with flash
@@RyanLImagery Thank you very much for taking the time to respond. it's very kind.
