Thanks for this! With all the stuff that's been going on in the world today - and portrait businesses also working hard to stay afloat...it's refreshing (and of course informative) to simply see an excellent demonstration of these lights and great technique. NO BS just great video teaching. You're the best Tim!
ه am from Algeria. I work in the field of photography just like you for a long time. I admire your way of taking pictures because I love this art and I find great pleasure in developing my skills. You have very professional and even old equipment. You work perfectly well because whoever lives the moments in his work will inspire many ideas. Positivity You are clever because you preserve every moment in which you master something as well as preserve the most expensive cameras of old ones.
Great tutorial as always Tim! Curious if ambient light plays any part in the image. Would be nice to see the effect of each light individually before all lights are turned on. Thanks!
Outside of the studio, I always consider the available light and use it if I can. If it helps the image, I will include the ambient - measuring it first. Thanks for watching.
For a teen or adult, a 10'x20' is most common, though you could use 10x16. For little kids you can use a 10x12 10Wx 12h, rolled halfway down to create the wall and the floor.
I have an AD300 and 2 685 speed lights. Each speed light has a Godox battery pack that allows almost instant recycle times. The modifiers for the 685's are round reflectors that accept grids, diffusers, or barn doors. It seems like this would provide good results if used as you describe in this video. While the V-1 is a fine light, do you feel this is also a good way to go ( the V-1 was not available when I started acquiring my lights)? I find your information very helpful. Thanks!
Good Point! V1's were a relatively new choice when I started considering speedlights for my location studio. I'm quite happy with them, but could often use more power and a little bit more modeling light. I do LOVE the portability of all this battery based, wireless system. And as I always say - great reasonably priced accessories. Thanks for watching!
It was very easy to use, completely reliable and consistent. I'll be using mostly for my location shoots.It was a great choice since it fit in perfectly with my other Godox gear. The mounting bracket originally included was said to be unable to hpld up the light with a large modifier attached. The solution is to use an S2 bracket/mounting adapter. I use them on all my other speedlights and love them. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for watching! Sorry, I don't really do reviews or technical comparisons - I'm really only interested in technique! I started with the speedlight series because my location kit was ridiculously heavy. I started testing the Godox, and my journey seemed to be of wide interest. The AD300Pro catagory is the natural progression for my pro usage. Afraid I'm the opposite of a "gear-hound". I use most of my gear for as long as it works. Sometimes decades. I'm not your guy for product shoot-outs. I love producing portraits, and it doesn't matter to me if I'd had to use a YashicaMat to do it. Appreciate your interest though.
@@TimKellysMasterPhotoTechniques thanks. I. Not much of a gear hound. I like this because I like seeing the lights used properly. Look like good lights at a reasonable price

Thanks for watching! Glad you're enjoying the videos.
I really like the V1 with the accessory kit, and the AD200. Very portable to use anywhere, & plenty of power.
Am liking the 4 light set up 👏🏽👏🏽
Me too!! Thanks for watching.
I am on my 3ed time on this video I have order a ton of Godox for my studio, thank you again for sharing your knowledge
Great to hear! Thanks for watching and subscribing!
I bought the ad300 and I am so pleased with it and with the s bracket I can work anywhere.
Great tutorial as always Tim!

Thanks for watching.
what are the dimensions of the studio you are using in the Jan 2, 2021 video? Including ceiling height.
Approx 14x24 with a 10' ceiling.
Great work! What's a good size backdrop for a full body shot?

Great video, as always, Tim. What is your final take on the AD300?
It was very easy to use, completely reliable and consistent. I'll be using mostly for my location shoots.It was a great choice since it fit in perfectly with my other Godox gear.

Thanks for watching!
How do you pair the XPro trigger to the ad300?
Thanks for watching! Afraid I'm not a techie - but, as I recall, they're all on the same frequency so it was there when I turned it on.
Hey Tim, would you review the Westcott FJ 400, FJ80 and FJ 200, on your channel and compare them to the Godox products?
