Natural light with flash with Adam Angelides

Sometimes the ambient light is just perfect. But usually it’s not. It’s too bright. It’s too dark. It’s the middle of the day when you want a glowing sunset.
That's why we use flash. With flash you’re in full control. If it’s too bright you use it to overpower the sun. If it’s too dark you light up your subject. If it’s the wrong time of day you add an orange color gel and create your own sunset.
The trick is to make it look natural. People shouldn’t be able to notice the flash light. They should pay attention to the image, not the technique behind it.
In this video, commercial photographer Adam Angelides shows you how. He uses color gels to recreate warm sunlight. He uses a large and deep umbrella as fill light. He uses High Speed Sync to control the ambient light. He uses gels to create a flare. All this in under five minutes.

[@sanwaldeen]

For the first photo, when you used the color CTO gel, may I know what you had set your camera's white balance to?

[@aidz6191]

[@EclisiaSong]

Such creativity !

[@ared18t]

question how did you get permission to get inside the building?

[@luangrath]

+Profoto Please !! What music is it? All

[@hiteshpatelenhance9918]

Can i get this kind of photo light effect with the help of Speedlight?

[@markshirley01]

+profoto what are the setting for the male model jumping inside the hanger - did you use HSS or low power flash for quick recycle

[@profoto]

+mark shirley Hi Mark, Adam only used HSS for the shoot with the model jumping on the runway. For the one your talking about the settings was F2.8, 1/1000, ISO 100.

[@luangrath]

+Profoto Were you using a Canon 50mm 1.2L ?

[@dardu]

1/1000 ? This is HSS, isnt?

[@Riizq53]

@@dardu anything beyond 1/200th or 1/250th of a second on camera. The flash automatically goes into hss mode.

[@JonSparkman]

male model in red jumping inside - outside the window was blown out - was that in post of was that not balanced correctly?

[@chrishipop5]

can you use this with film?

[@heckmannoleg]

Отлично!

[@mostafaph5079]

What about the white balance

[@frankiealex11]

Beautiful flashes but man, they sure are pricey

[@eddiegremlin]

What lens(es) were you shooting with. Inside and out?

[@92109ant]

+Edward Millership I am pretty sure it was the canon 50 1.2

[@eddiegremlin]

Having now seen thee video on the big screen, rather than my phone, I would agree.

[@soothingsoundvideos]

+Edward Millership That would be the Canon 50/1.2L.

[@deived16]

What does she has on her hand?

[@alanmartinez7337]

Hand wraps

[@marcellusdelemos736]

All that setup for this?

[@melyaru]

Супер !!!

[@chmieluu21]

Great location for a party! Maybe for a photograpy too, but never shown after 2.30 turned off soooo booring.

[@sigurdmyhrer1446]

Bob

[@barkyvonschnauzer2188]

If u ave n e used b1's u don't need send em to me guv

[@xxjabarri2xx]

all of that effort to get the lighting right you cant take 10 seconds and remove the color fringe? c'mon.

[@stevepeddicord1]

This is a waste of time. The dude doesn't explain the stops, or how to balance the strobe light with ambient. Big FAIL!

[@soothingsoundvideos]

+Steve Peddicord This is for pros only. If you don't already know how to balance strobe with ambient light, the $$$ Profoto B1 is definitely not for you.

[@stevepeddicord1]

+Kaybee not impressed with your cheesy opinion. This video was advertised he was teaching something with mixing the two. All he did was talk about stuff that is common sense. And no this is a very amateur video for beginners nothing pro about this at all.

[@holdnomore6147]

OK Professor, sorry to take your time, now go look for Pro Videos !

[@ArnoldMontes]

Steve Peddicord how is this amateur??? So an amateur photographer would understand what ambient light is? And how to use all that equipment? Do me a favor guy if you can't figure out how to do what he was doing your definitely the correct definition of amateur
